subscribe to Eastern papers. We can
not find any discussion Of the impor-
tant matters in your papers, except
that which always agrees with Mr..
wilson and the spokesmen of the
Democratic administration. The

had the recent debate with President
Lowell, Of Harvard, one Of the ablest

published their arguments without

youth selected for their physical

as the world has ever seen. This
force played a decisive part in the
war and demonstrated that, while
we are not a military nation, the
American boy has in him those
qualities that 60 to make up per-

our troops on the battlefields of

Our armies have been demobil-

visions they returned not only with
pride in the high standards of Amer

ception of its relation to the duties
of citizenship.
Tribute to Fighters.
"As we pay tribute to our fight
ing men, we remember that solidly
behind them stood the American
people with all our resources and
our determination. This common
service has welded together our
people. These Experiences safe
