of a friend must our government

to lend it to you for five years, but

ney some other way"
believe little reflection along
these lines will make us hesitate, will
appeal to our hearts, to our loyalty
and to our feeling for humanity. Af-
ter all, should we change the United
States Government securities into
private securities for investment?
We may be the wiser later On when
we find that while for short time
We receive higher rate of interest,
the investment proving to be more re
munerative, there may come a day
when these other doubtful invest
ments may react upon us and we
shall learn TT would have paid
us to 4SHiembere our obliga-
tion to- our country and to have
profited by the lesson of THRIFT,
which was the intention of the War
Savings plan to teach us.
We ought to hold our War Savings
Stamps for ourselves, for our fami-
lies, and for the boys who are yet
to be brought back home, for the
boys who are yet to be provided with
positions when they do come home,
for the families of those boys who
have been allotting part of their sal
aries during their. absence, and for
our great nation which needs the
money to further protect and safe
guard us, and for the advancement
of our own interests, and the preser-
vation of the liberty which our boys
fought and died to uphold.
Do not sell your securities which
are guaranteed by the best country
in all the world, of which you are
prominent factor. Stand firm and
steadfast, and maintain your spirit
of patriotism.
Hold your War Savings Stamps,
and save and buy more.
Very respectfully,
G.. WALTER WRIGHT,
Postmaster.

February 4, 1919.
Dear Mother:
AS I now have a few minutes, l
will try to pen you a few lines of
love and cheer. l am in splendid
health, and fat as ever.
Mother, will you kindly send me
the date Isabelle received her last
payment, and for what month it hap
pened to be. 1t has not been
Strengthened out as yet, for some rea
son, l can not say why l just wish
to know what they really owe me;
whether she received payment for
August or September.
We are looking forward to our Di
vision starting for the good old U.
S. A. during the next four months,
by June, anyway. Of course, there
are thousands of soldiers to be car
ried back to the States, and each
and every one thinks his Division
should be the first to go. I did want
to get back until the 9th day of
November, when 1 received the fatal
news from a friend of mine. who got
the news before 1 did. From that
day 1 have never worried over reach
ing the States. 1 simply say we will
to return to but you, Mother
Moore, and Dad.
I only think of Dimples as waiting,
with outstretched arms, to receive
me back again. But the SAD day for
me will be the return to Cambridge,
and she not there to greet me-.
Mr.. Potter never writes to me; 1
surely think he would for once, any
way. He never used to say anything
to me, therefore always thought he
never liked me. But 1 always look
ed upon him as a friend, and respec-
ted him as a father. Since the
night of her graduation from the
Cambridge High School, class of
1915, I looked at her and knew there
never was prettier and more low
ing-natured girl on earth.
l must cut short my few words,
as it is getting late, and I must write
Mother Moore a few lines. Hoping
to hear from you real often, I re-
main, your soldier boy, GUS.

upon B. Frank McGregor. The con-

the piece, although his evil doings are
not clearly traced. He seems to be
concerned with preventing the Ameri-
can Army from getting its necessary
supply of airplanes, to what end is
not made plain. But Garcia is one of

to Congress on that momentous April
2, 1917.
Then we plunge into the story. To
give Andy Brown a chance to 90 to
France as a correspondent Andrew
Blunston permits Andy to take his
place, spending the interval before the
young reporter gets his War Depart
ment permit in training the youth for
his work. The spring of this unusual
proceeding is to be found in the fact
that Blunston was in love with
Andy's mother long ago. And so
Andy goes to New York with Blum
ston, who watches him board the troop
transport after night at the theatre,
where Andy sees Sylvia Raeburn on
the stage and, such is the strange and
lovely imagery of youth, she becomes
another Jeanne Dare for him.

Whether his tale had to have its
villain or whether Mr. Kaufman ac-
quired strong distaste for the army
censorship in France we are not GER
tain. But the villain is there in the
person of that Louis Garcia who lost
his job on New York newspaper and
has become a Lieutenant in the Amer
lean Army on duty in the censor's
office in Paris. To him Andy goes on
his arrival in the City of Light, all

tIIeu W get friendly messenger TO
take some of his correspondence home.
Being foot free and moved by the
imminence of the need for every man
who could fight, Andy went into the
army, which enables Mr.. Kaufman
to give us his picture of war as it was
fought by the Americans in 1918, the
kind of war We had been reading
about for four years-bloody, hideous
fighting that no familiarity acquired
in the pages of Under Fire or Empey
inures us to. Mr.. Kaufman gives us
glimpses of Andy at AK during a
permission, where he meets Sylvia
again. Then come trench raids, going
over the top, and in a moving climax
Andy dies fighting.
III.
Here are the bald outlines of a tale
that has many passages of romantic
and tragic beauty. Among such we
recall Andy's departure from his
home in that shabby house in Ameri-
Gus; the homecoming Of Chrissly
Shuman to talk for a Liberty Loan
as wounded hero; Chrissly's love
affair with Leonie; the Turing of Gar
ella by Sylvia Raeburn in her effort
to recover Andy's papers; and that
final battle, so far as Andy was con-
cerned, in the narrow streets Of
Mirande-La-Faloisel Moreover, the
story has the elements of greatness in
that it is both an admirable work Of
art and a really complete panorama
of the war in its actions and reactions
on the men and women Of our country
while hostilities lasted.
In its purely military aspects, how
ever, we do not think Mr.. Kaufman
has been at all fair. He only looks
at the censorship from the viewpoint
of the journalist, never at all from
that Of the military man. In a sense
this is only natural since it is the pro-
fession of the journalist to tell things
about war and that of the military
man to conceal them. And also his
astonishment over our failure in the
matter of artillery is wholly one
sided. What newspaper man would
think in the ordinary course of his
days work that an innocent item
about military stores in a corner Of
his paper would cause the loss of 600
men? As witness the classic incident
of the New York Tribune in the civil
war and Sherman s losing 600 men at
Goldsborough, ~ c. Or who among
us remembers Gen. Crozier pointing
out in 1906 that if he had an appro-
priatiOn of ST 100000 for artillery he
could begin a programme that could
be completed by 1919
These are blots on the tale. But
they will only be appreciated by his
military readers; and the great Amer
lean public will pass them over as it
has been doing since the United States
was a nation. Not the least of our
national weaknesses is that we do not
take military affairs seriously until
We are plunged into war. And then
our critics never know enough of our
history to place the blame where it be-
longs, in the gross Indifference to such
things Of every last one Of US.
VICTORIOUS. By REGINALD WEIGHT
The sun., 1919-05-04
Victorious: America at War
Reginald Wright Kaufman Novel Panorama Reaching From
Only Military Misconceptions

N his new story, Victorious, Reg
= inald Wright Kaufman gives US,
for the first time, novel based on
Americas experiences in the war that
as nearly encompasses the greatness
of that experience as it is possible for
one work of fiction to do. His chief
aim, we take it, was to write an alb
sorbing story; and in this he has sue
ceeded admirably and completely.
For Victorious is one of those tales
that SEXES the readers interest with
its opening sentence and has the
power to hold that interest to the very
end. In addition to writing a story
Mr.. Kaufman tried to picture how
the war affected a little group of
Americans at home and abroad; what
our army did in France what impedi-
ments it met with in becoming an
army; and how gallantly our soldiers
fought their way to victory. Crusader
of old against the evils of our social
and political systems, Mr.. Kaufman
takes up the cudgels against the press
censorship and that unmilitary in
ertia of Americans which sent us into
the Great War for Civilization UMPIRE
pared either on land or sea, although
here he confines himself solely to the
unpreparcdneSs of the army.
If much Of the matter of this tale
covers familiar ground, as must needs
be in our voluminOusly described war,
there is nothing familiar or conven-
tional in the manner with which Mr..
Kaufman begins his tale. For pre-
monitory thrill and arresting interest
few things in contemporary fiction
can equal the series of eight or ten
pen pictures of the chief characters
of the tale as day comes to them, and
passes in its important moments on
April 2, 1917. We see Sarah Brown
getting the breakfast of Andy Brown
III shabby cottage in Americus, Pa,
in the Pennsylvania Dutch belt. We
see Minnie Taylor going to early mar
ket and indulging in her mild flirta-
ton with Chrissly Shuman, son of an
Amish farmer. We see Andy Brown
beginning his day S work as cub re-
porter on the Americas Daily Spy.
and we snatch bit of gossip between
Col. Eskessen, editor of the Spy, and
his old crony, Lawyer Dickey, which
fairly represents the two shades of
public opinion in the United States
about the Presidents course regard
ing the war at that time. We are in
troduced to Andrew Biunston, war
correspondent, in his hotel in New
York, making ready to 60 to war if it
comes; we listen to Sylvia Raeburn.
the actress, making a momentous de-
cision over the telephone; witness the
upgetting of B. Frank McGregor, con-
tractor, from his luxurious bed in Chi
cago; we read, over Louis Garcia's
shoulder, the cause of his being dis
missed from his job on a New York
newspaper; we learn how Tao, the po-
lice dog, happened to become one of
the mascots of a company of U. S.
Marines down in Hayti; how Leonie
Picaud was driven from her home in
France by the Germans; and we read
once more the final paragraph of
speech made by "a lantern awed

fessors, journalists, engineers, etc.
Specialists in chemistry, who grad
uated from this institution, now do
expert work for large business
houses and for the United States
government in military and civil
positions.
In less than 10 years of its exist
ence, the university has spent more
than 100000 in maintaining and
promoting its work and providing
necessary facilities. Each year its
budget has increased and practically
all this outlay has been expended in
Omaha. The university has thus
far maintained its work with only
such funds as have been secured
from fees and from subscriptions.
In order to do away with the pres
ent hand-to-mouth mode of main
tainance, an endowment of at least
100000 will be secured as quickly
as possible.
The DR.. S. K. Spalding scholar
ship of $500, established by the
widow of DR.. S. K. Spalding, con-
stitutes the beginning of such an
endowment. To this has been add
ed the Mary Stoddard scholarship
of $1,000 and two gifts of Liberty
bonds, each of $50, presented by COL
lege classes.
Trustees of the institution are
sure that the fund of 100000 to
properly maintain the institution.
will be raised in but a few days.
