We agree with Editor George Long that the cons

should be paid for the time they were detained But this
money should be expended in buying them transportation
to Russia and this government should see that they are
loaded on the first ship going in that direction
No man should be allowed enjoy the right of free
dom who not willing to fight for that right when
sion demands to make some personal sacrifice that
the cause of Liberty should lost When he refuses
to do either he should be sent to some country where he
can dwell among his equals. The man who has an in
growing fanatcism miscaed religion that bids him turn
the other cheek to beast running large named with
boodlust when the world is in travail should be sent to
the only country that has made submission to it's enemies
and the murder of it's friends national policy and that
country is Russia
There were millions of sincere and devoted Christians
in this country who put on uniform when the crisis
came and believed that in doing they were best serv
ing the cause for which the Man of Gaee died To tenn
porize with those unspeakabe moral pervers lust re-
leased from Leavenworth is insult to every Christian

AFTERWARDS.


1T was Ho! for the set of the khaki;
! Hurrah for the marching feet;
Three cheers again, as the fighting men
Went tramping down the street.
Oh we thrilled as we stood and watched them,
And now they are coming home
The soldier, out of the trenches,
The sailor, over the foam!
It was Ho! for the CLINT of a rife,
And Hey for the soldiers pack
With smiles and tears and a burst of cheers
And now they are coming back!
They have been where the phantoms gather,
Where Death and his cohorts Turk;
They're coming back from the trenches
Now who will give them work?
Who will cancel his debt to a soldier?
(You have not forgotten that
We cheered and sang till the echoes rang,
AT the sight of a campaign hat?
They have battled and bled and suffered;
Now give them helping hand
They're coming back from the shadows
And smoke of No Mans Land.
1t was Ho! for the boys when they left us;
(They fought through the mud and sleet)
tear-flled eye as the flag went by;
(They marched on weary feet)
We are proud of their shining record
For they didn't lag or shirk;
They're coming back to the home folks
Now who will give them work?
