Hearty Welcome Is Assured
For All The Returning Men

Hearty public welcome home for
the disappointed soldiers who never
got nearer the front than the home
training camps but whose patriotism
must be rated 100 per cent, was re-
quested extended by all Y. nj. C. AS
in a letter of instruction sent out
Council. Home secretaries were
asked to cooperate In all welcomes to
soldiers who were held at home, or i'm
lack Of Official receptions to inau-.
gurate welcomes.
Secretary Baker," the letter OF
instruction reads, has asked for CO.
operation in creating the right spirit
toward all of those who have served
their country in the present war. He
points out that those men who have
been detained in the home camps
have given as loyal and patriotic
service as those who went abroad,
but have been denied what their
hearts were set upon-an opportu-
nifty to serve on the field of battle
He asks that there be NO discrimina-
tion against them by reason Of the
accidents OF fortune which detained
them here
THE attention of all secretaries La
directed to the great Importance OF
the welcome home being enthusias-
tic for the men from the home camps
as well as fo9 those from overseas.
The men who did not have the chance
to go overseas were ready and willing
but did not have the opportunity.
They are inclined to be over-sensi-
tive, and the 'Y' can be of great serv-
ice in helping to see that the well
come is generous and genuine to all
soldiers and sailors alike, even to the
extent Ct arranging such welcome
where necessary"

WHEN AND WHERE
SHERMAN SAID IT

Out Of the moil and welter of war:
in all ages, strong and unforgetable
expressions have been evolved. 1t is
not often that the circumstances OK
their birth are known. How Sher-
mans came into being Is related In
Everybody's Magazine in this wise:
You and I and the vaudeville ar
lists and the popular-song composers
and the after-dinner speakers and the
contributors to the funny magazines
have been saying for years and years
that General Sherman said it.
"War is He'll"
Before his death the General tried
to recall the when and where OF his
famous epigram, and even instituted
q search In 1891 of his records and
newspapers, without finding any evil
dence that would establish the mat
ter.
Now comes John Koolbeck, of Har-
Ian, Iowa, to solve the mystery. Mr..
Koolbeck, who has been the active
manager of q cafe in Harlan for
twenty-four years, is an old soldier.
"It was In '63. after the battle OF
Vicksburg." says Veteran Ko0lbeck.
General Sherman was commanding
both the infantry and cavalry Of the
Western Department. At that par
ticular time the Army was crossing
the River Pearl at Jackson, Missis-
sippi, ON a pontoon bridge. General
Sherman sat ON his horse at the wa
ter's edge in deep meditation. The
infantry had crossed. Just 90 the
cavalry, headed by General Winslow,
Of the Fourth Iowa Cavalry (I was
his aide-de-camp) started across the
bridge, General Sherman suddenly
broke his silence with the remark,
War is He'll, boys He called 1t out
to us In loud voice. I was in the
headline with General Winslow, so
/ heard him very clearly. We were
going after General Johnson, OF the
Confederate Army, whom we had
driven across the river. The realiza-
tion that war is hell seemed to have
come over the General suddenly.
General J0hl had been worrying
us. 1t was ~ to us to hurry after
him and catch him. think it was
sort of sympathy for his troops that
General Sherman wanted to express
in his remark. 1t seemed like an at
tempt on his part to let the boys
know that he knew war wasn't any
fun, too, and that he knew they'd go
on just the same. ] can remember
1t as II 1t had been yesterday"
General Winslow is dead. The
other members Of his star were com
siderably older than Mr.. Koolbeck, SO
he believes that he is the only living
man who heard General Sherman say
War Is HE'LL" at the River Pearl.

of them announced their plans COM
pleted before the Americans had full

that forces the American to the fore
front in everything he under

the war the allies were fight

and not carrying it to him. The
changed the mode of war

battlefield. They couldn't fight de-
fensive fight. They knew only how
to carry the fight into the very heart
Of the enemy camp.
The same spirit of aggressiveness
that carried the war to the hun
and won, prompted the transatlantic
flight. And it will win.

THE CENTENARY MOVEMENT.

The Methodist Centenary cam
paign, which opens today, is the
churches movement launched to raise
funds to aid in the rehabilitation of
the world. The fund will be used i'll
rebuilding churches, community
houses and institutions of learning
in the coutries devastated by war as
well as to foster the erection Of SINH
lar institutions in countries that have
heretofore been without them. Of
more especial interest is the plan to
carry religion and education to the
mountain districts and industrial GEN.
ters Of our own southland. To the
three RS, readin', ritin' and rithme
tic, are added religion and these will
be carried to people in the United
States long neglected.
The centenary movement is just
another branch of the gigantic work
of world rehabilitation that is fore
most in the thoughts of the people of
the world today and is of special
interest to those people who are SO
fortunate as to be citizens of the
United States of America.
