The boys came as representatives.
of the Soldiers and Sailors Suffrage
League. We don't know much about
that League Perhaps it is wet in
sympathy But when did the present
Legislature go on record as prevent
ing dry committees from presenting
arguments in Columbus?
The soldiers, wearing overseas caps
ard the gold stripe of service in
France, had a most discourteous re-
ception. 1t was insinuated that they
were agents of the German-Ameri-
can Alliance, of the brewers and dis
tillers, etc Many members of the
committee seemed greatly bored
while they were talking At the last
minute the Committee Room had been
packed" with soldiers favoring pro-
hibition, who had been hastily col
lected by the drys. The latter were
given a reception which contrasted
very strongly with that accorded the
men in uniform at whose request the
hearing had been arranged
Legislatures, in Ohio and else
where, viii find out before they are
through that this sort of treatment
of men in uniform will not be profit
able. Perhaps 250,00O citizens of Ohio
were unable to vote on the prohibition
amendment last fall because they
were in uniform. Nearly all the Ohio
members of the A. E. F. resent the
fact that the State was made dry"
while they were out of the country
There is no doubt in the world that
large majority of the men who serv-
ed in the American army in France
are against prohibition. That major
ity certainly amounts to sixty per
cent of the total, and it may go con-
siderably higher than that. These
men are going to have a voice in re-
gard to prohibition legislation from
this time forward. Unless all signs
fail, the legislators who are now try
ing to make it appear that all "wet"
soldiers are necessarily representative
of un-American interests and influ-
ences, will have an unpleasant time
of it when all the army gets home.

All indications point to the commit
tee on the electric light and power
plant favoring preserving the plant
and purchasing power elsewhere un-
til we are in position to furnish all
the current required. That is good
news, for while the committee is not
empowered to do anything of its own
accord in the matter, nor is it at
tempting to assume such powers, yet
what the committee says is likely to
go. From business standpoint no
better committee could have been Sc
lected and since this committee is
likely to recommend the retention and
preservation of the plant, things are
looking up little bit and there is no
immediate prospect of our plant get
ting away
If the committee does recommend
purchasing current from outside con

dation will call for short time con

ON its hands right now in a long tie
up with an outside corporation-we
refer to the 25-year franchise grant
ed the street car company, which same
company's official head refused to
even receive a committee of Hamil-
tons most representative citizens
when they called at his office to urge
better car service. Many of our citi-
zens well remember at the time this
franchise was sought, how smooth
and oily the representative of the
company put it up to us and painted
glowing colors of the wonderful ser
vice we were going to get in the, fu-
ture, but after the franchise was sign
ed, sealed, delivered and tucked away
in the big vault of the company in
Cincinnati-Good Night Hamilton,

be with any of those big corporations,
once our hands are tied. If there has
to be one at all, recommend short
time contract, gentlemen of the COM
mittee, and strike a popular chord.

The Convincing Foch.

The Germans seem at last to
be waking up to some of the
Facts Of their position. Their
army was beaten in the field and
they are at the mercy of the vic
tors; but in spite of all that has
happened since they seem to
have persisted in the belief that
they could negotiate with those
ylctors on even terms. Not even
their exclusion from the Peace
Conference has availed to cure
them of this strange delusion.
1t took Marshal Foch to do it. in
so far as it has been done at all.

they would imperil the success

for these wonderful youngsters
those sacred acts which were to

CAS- to the attitude of the A
merican soldier toward the chap
lain is much beloved by his men
because of the fact that their in
terests become his interests ;
their trials, his trials, their joys
his joys, and their sorrows his
sorrows. He becomes an intimate
part of the conscious makeup of
each and every man. He knows
them intimately he knows them
well; he knows them not as an
officer knows a soldier; he knows
them from the plane of friend
ship, making their relations not
strained, not guarded and guided
ever by the thought of an officer
and an elisted man, but sealed
and set with a mark of friend
ship and affection.
Wherefore, on find that the
work of an American chaplain
is fruitful in and out of the line,
wherever his men happen to be I;
his work is neither parable nor
fiction, but is founded on acts
and deeds which are at all times
practical and beneficial.

always considerate even anx-

tactics, resulting in that which

fusion that the stability of the
new German Government is a
matter dear to the hearts of the
Allies, but it seems actually to
have opened Erzberger's eyes to
the true situation in which he
stood, better than a 5OO-page
thesis could have done. In other
words, he got the idea.
In the same dispatch we read
that the German Armistice Com
mission were greatly opposed to
allowing Marshal Foch to decide
all disputed points on the appli-
cation of the armistice condi-
tons; that they asked convinc-
ingly, What is the use of our
commission? You might as well
have a dictator and be done
with it," This is indeed the true
state Of the case. The commiss-
ion had nothing to do except to
sign on the dotted line, which
was carefully pointed out to
them by Marshal Foch. He
might as well have been a die
tator, This is the truth which the
Allies, with unwearied patience,
have been trying vainly to bore
into some crack in the German
skull. AT last, although it is diff
ficult to see how, they got the
idea. 1t is possible that this rev.
elation came to them through a
singular circumstance, which
was that, when they waited I'D
on the Marshal as usual to tell
him that they had as yet receiv-
no authority to sign the
terms, the Marshall said chat
he was going away at 6 O'Clock
land that Germany had better
make up her mind by that
When the Spanish American
Commission was at work
ending the war of 1898, some of
the Spaniards, it is said, object
ed to some of the terms as mad
missable, whereupon William R.
one of the American Com
.issioners, informed them that
"a peace treaty can contain any
that the victors choose to
put in it." Bismark, too, manag-
to covey the same idea to the
French in 1871, so that the idea
is not new to the Germans, how
ever, they had got the notion
that it does not apply to Ger
mans, or perhaps that it applies
to peace treaties only and not to
armistice conventions. Foch.
though famous as the man who
brought the war to an end, has
additional title to fame; he

HOW OUR MEN DIED
TOLD BY CHAPLAIN
Rev. Father Kelley of the 9th
Says Battlefield Was Best
Sermon on Preparedness
for Death.


for Death.
How American soldiers in
France met death was told the
other day by the Rev. Father F..
A. Kelley, chaplain of the 9th
Division, who praised warmly
their devotion, unselfshness, and
courage.
81 can speak intimately" he
said, "only of the boys of the
9th Division, but l feel certain
that what l say of the boys of
the 9th Division can be truth
fully said of the boys of every
division which this great nation
sent into foreign lands to battle
with the foreign foe.
ITO begin with, none Of them
was ignorant, at any time, of the
danger in which he stood-too
many around them were falling,
victims Of shells, of grenades.
machine guns, and rifles. Az
those things played their part
in bringing to our ranks death.
but not destruction. The hest
sermon which the boys received
on preparedness for death was
their first view of a real battle
field. Here they saw those with
whom they had associated, those
whom, they had called their pals,
those with whom they lived, fell
lows from their own Immediate
section laid PROSTATE by the
heavy hand of death. What could
be more natural than that they
should realize from this the i'm
minence of the danger which
hourly surrounded them?
$50 it was before each battle
we found the lads not only will
ing, but anxious, to make their
peace with their God above,
praying to Jehovah of the Thun-
ders, Lord God of Battles, for
His aid, begging Him to guard
them, to guide them, and to pro-
tect them. If perchance, as fire.
quently happened, they were laid
low by the shot or shell of the
enemy, we always found in them
without variance, a spirit of per-
feet resignation to the will of
God; their thoughts were with
those whom they had left be-
hind; thoughts filled with hui
man kindness, with gratitude
and with love.
But they thought other
things. They thought of the sac
rifce they were making, and
their prayer uttered before the
battle for guidance and protec-
ton now became a prayer that
their sacrifice so willingly made
might not be in vain. 1t was a
wonderful sight, so frequently to
see those men horribly mangled
mistakenly put aside the services
OF the doctor with the words.
You can't help me I'm done for.
Some Of the others can 90 back
on the job, Attend to them
The sacrifice, the valor, the BRAY
cry of such lads can never be
recounted, can never be amply
told, for it defes power of
tongue or pen to paint, with ac-
tuaI vlvidness, scene after scene
Of the battles and their results.
1T is for me a happy privilege
to be able to say that I minister

and dying, | call it a privilege,
