It will ever be an outstanding feature of military history that America stepped into the breach in the darkest days of the war for the Allies and turned the tide of conflict, their Success in the region of Chateau Thierry being the real beginning of a new nor ale for the army of the Allies and of the fierce operations that drove the invading Huns back over their hard-earned territory.

 Dear Mamma and Papa Re ceived your letter yesterday and sure was glad for 1 had begun to think you were not going to write me anymore-that you had as time passed by forgotten your big little boy". l had written many letters, not ever dream- ing that you were not receiving them and not getting an answer. Finally 1 gave up with a sad heart. figuring l had lost my best friends on earth but I'm glad it's only a case of our mail not going through, though l wish we could have kept in touch with each other all the way through, for your letters are always well come, always bring sunshine and cheer. and make life easier to live.

Many of that type gave up every chance they had. but there were many that played the game willingly glad for the opportunity. and would hold up one hand yelling 'kam- rade" and shoot rapid fire with a machine gun with other hand.

TO MAKE WORLD "BONE Dry
A Big Missionary Campaign Is Being

League Of America.

WesterviIle, O., Jan. 23.-The Robin
son Crusoe stage of the bone dry
movement is past The Anti-Saloon
League Of America has undertaken the
task of modifying public sentiment for
worldwide prohibition.
The watchword of the league used to
be "a Dry Nation by 1920" Now "a
saloonIess and drunkenness world has
become the shibboleth.
The possibilities of the movement
proposed by the league challenge the
imagination
Worldwide prohibition is a colossal
task. The league admits that. Its
prosecution will require time and
money. The league is blessed with
both.
The league has spent 2 million dol
lars a year in its state and national
work. Five million dollars a year will
be needed for its hands-across-the-se
program.

new PHONE RATES IN EFFECT
Burleson's Long Distance Tolls Oper.
alive Now, Except Where Injunc-
tons Have Been Granted.

Washington, Jan. 21.-New toll and
long distance telephone rates ap-
proved by Postmaster General Burle-
son became effective at midnight last
night, except in those states where
temporary restraining orders against
the companies have been issued by
the courts. This announcement was
made by W. H. Lamar, solicitor of the
PostOffice Department, and a member
of the federal wire control committee.
Mr.. Lamar had said during the day
that the rates would become effective
despite efforts of states to suspend
or modify them. The Postoffice De-
partment had been advised, he said,
that restraining orders have been is
sued in two states Indiana and Mis-
sissippi. He said he had not been in
formed that courts in Illinois had
taken similar action.
The federal court at Pensacola, Fla,
is the only court in the United States
that has held full hearings and rem
dered a decision on an application for
an injunction, he said, and it's decis-
ion denied the restraining order.
Under the new rates as announced
by Mr.. Burleson there will be a basic
charge of six and one-quarter mills
mile, airline mileage, with half the
day rate for night service up to mid
night and one-fourth of the day rate
between that hour and 80 a. N.
The new charges were recon-
mended by the committee on rate
standardization, and Mr.. Burleson
said they would equalize toll and long
distance charges. In many instances
rates in certain localities will be in
creased. Generally, however, there
will be a reduction in rates, accord
ing to the Postmaster General.

Meeting Held in Dublin Man

All Speeches During the Session Were

No Disorder.

Dublin, Jan. 22.-Twenty-fiVe mem
bers of the Sim Fem society elected
to the British house of commons as
sembled here this afternoon and for
mally constituted themselves the
Dali Eireann,' which is Irish gaelic
for Irish parliament"
They elected Chas Burgess, whose
Irish name is Cathal Brugha, speaker.
They also adopted a declaration OF
independence and an address to the
free nations of the world and appoint
ed a committee consisting OF Count
-lunkett, Arthur Griffiths and Pro
fessor Edward De Valera to present
the claims of Ireland to self-determi-
nation to the peace conference at
Paris.
The two last named being in British
prisons only the venerable Count
Plunkett can proceed TO Paris and
then only provided the British gov
eminent consents to give him pass
ports.
The walls of the hall were quantity
embelIished with classic statues in
plaster and coats of arms. Past lord
mayors have witnessed many more
exciting dramas, notably in recent
years of conventions of the National
ist party, when there were impassion,
ed speeches and hot party contests.
That today's proceedings seemed
tame by contrast was due to the fact
that they were conducted in the dead
language Of the Irish tongue This
was tribute to sentiment, but it was
deadening to interest Few Of the
1000 auditors understood the ad-
dresses.
Oratory was killed by the process Of
reading all the speeches and even
some of the delegates had trouble in
following them on their manuscripts.
The only concession to popular inter
est, was the translation of the decla-
ration of independence and the adj
dress to the free nations in English
and French and this was wearisome
process.
1t should not be inferred there was
any lack of emotion or want of feel
ing of responsibility on the part Of
the delegates. They evidently felt
themselves men playing great parts in
a solemn sacrament

BAKER RELEASES
1903 DIRECTORS
Secretary of War Orders Men
Who Refused Military Ser
vice Restored to Dnty.
MEANS HONORABLE DISCHARGE
The Men Released Comprise TWO
Glasses Who Had Previously Been
Recommended for FurIough.

Washington, Jan 23-Secretary
Baker today ordered the release Of
1C3 conscientious DIRECTORS held at
Fort LeaVenworth, the remission of
the unexecuted. portions of their sen
fences, their honorable restoration to
duty and immediate discharge from
the army.
The men released comprise two
classes. In one group are thirty men
who heretofore have been recommend
ed by the board of inquiry, headed by
Judge Julian Mack, for furlough.
Group two includes those men whom
the board Of inquiry on denomination
found to be sincere and who in its
Judgment would have been recon-
mended for furloughs if they had had
opportunity Of being examined for it
before the court martial proceedings.
Secretary Baker instructed that the
discharges granted these conscientious
DIRECTORS should be written on a spe-
cIaI form, which includes the follow
ing remark: This is a conscientious
oDJector who has done no military
duty whatsoever and who refused to
Y ear the uniform
The policy of granting farm or other
furloughs TO such men as were adj
judged sincere, Secretary Baker said
in his order, was adopted so that the
country might have the benefit Of
such labor as they could perform con-
scientiously instead Of having to pay
for their care and subsistence with no
corresponding benefit.
The signing of the armistice, how
ever, which took place while these
cases were under consideration by my
military associates, has changed the
entire situation" Mr.. Baker said, and
the War Department has since adopted
and announced the policy Of returning
to civil life at the earliest practicable
moment such conscientious DIRECTORS
as are not serving court martial sen,
fences"
The secretary's action does not af-
feet the status of those conscientious
DIRECTORS who, having been examined
by the board of inquiry, were found to
be insincere in their objections. Men
included in this class are left to serve
the sentences which have been i'm
posed upon them.
