Il suppose you are all wonder
ing where l am and how the world
is treating me, also when l shall be
home. Well, l am now in an old
city on the Rhine. The river here
is about three hundred fifty feet
wide and on each side tower small
mountains on the steep sides of
which are numerous vineyards.
High up above the city on the side
of one hill is perched a ruined cas-
tie.
THE city is surrounded by wall
in ruins and numerous UNCOVERED
towers in ruins. This is a busy
little place for its size as the river
sees a great amount of shipping
and there is also a double track
railroad on each side of the Rhine.
There is no bridge across the river

WOUNDED WANT
Fiction BOOKS
Lighter Forms Of Reading in De-
mand Among Soldiers Confined
to Z. S. Hospitals.

Fiction and the lighter forms of
relding play a large part in the
daily lives of the men in hospitals,
every librarian Of the American
Library association war service, ac-
cording to reports received at the
Rock Island public library. Stor-
ies Of adventure cannot be supplied
in sufficient number. The men
caunot get enough of Zane Grey,
Rex Beach, Jack London, E. Phil
lips Oppenhefm and KipHng. The
best novel is a western story with
Z dash of romance.
Every man viii read love
story. but he honest prefers the
wholesome sort says the librarian
a. one Of the largest hospitals.
1--WE quite revised by idea of the at
titude Of man toward sentimental
reading"
ron a visit of the librarian to the
wards, one man had tentatively
selected Stevenson's Treasure Is

sented for his inspection. rs it

He liked the looks of Mary John

that, though emphatically love
story, the novel had not happy

ho finally chose Audrey.
ct can stand the ending" he said.
Unhappy endings have been known
TO cause lasting depression in mill
tary hospitals.
In the assortment of fiction and
stories Of personal war experiences,
carried by the librarian on the
same ward visit, were a dictionary,
a higher algebra and trigonometry,
plain and solid geometry, and
book on mechanics, each of them
going in response to a special re-
quest to the occupant Of some bed.
Nan Italian in one Of the wards eyed
f4fe collection and drew out the
trigonCmetry.
bill, Won don't want that book"
volunteered his bed neighbor to the
left That's higher mathematics,
you can't read that Better give
him novel"
Bill looked inside the trigonome-
try and quite apparently found it no
more Ineligible than Chinese.
Still, he was reluctant to surrend-
er it for a novel in an easy style.
Probably the title had appealed to
TO the Latin in him, but obviously he
wanted to hang on to it because it
had real substance. He frightened
with delight when the librarian told
him she now was equipped to sup
ply him with Italian books
All the men like detective stor-
les. A casual evening visit to the
extreme psychOpathic ward
brought requests for detective fic-
ton from three white and two ne-
gro patients.
There are hundreds of thousands
of books, unused, on the shelves of
American homes, that are just the
books the tens of thousands of
wounded men in the army hospitals
need now. Every public library
IS a receiving station for library
war service. Books taken or sent
to the Rock Island library will get
into the soldiers hands promptly.

Private Sam Danielson, son Of Mr.

Taylor Ridge, as follows:
The company / came over with

and there, and there are a good
many of the members that will not
come back. Let me tell you that
will never forget the first shell
that hit the town We were in.
There were some stones flying, but
We did not stay there long. We
moved out on a hillside and be-
lieve me. we made the dirt fly
with those little shovels. The
place where l was digging was
nothing but rock, but lit did not
take me long to get a hole dug. l
Will never forget the first time l
went to the front with my tin hat
on and the old kaiser started to
Smelling us as We were eating
mess.
"One shell hit the building we
were in and my mess kit was filled
with dirt. That was the first time we
were up on the front II days and
rs of us were transferred to the
One Hundred Ninth of the Twenty
eighth division.
Then we went back on a differ
ent front and let me tell you. on
Nov. II at $50 we went over the
top and we sure gave it to the
Boches, the dirty Huns. And they
gave it to US, but we soon made
them move. l saw lots of our boys
go down and lots of them were so
blown to pieces that all we could
find of them were their tags. Oh,
| wouldn't want to see that again.
Now l call myself lucky for l
thought we are all gone and when
they called US back and told us to
stop firing at IL o'clock, we were all
glad. That night we could see
camp fires for many miles around,
and it sure did seem good to sit by
a fire once more and get good and
warm.
That morning when we went
over the top we laid down and a
machine gun bullet hit my tin hat
and nearly knocked it off my
head, but it did not hurt me; was
little scared at first, but we thank
God that we are all right"

before the Senate Committee on
Agriculture, in Washington last
July, but space forbids. Since that
time the saloons and breweries ran
on in war time wasting the sub
stance of the people and running
workers and prospective soldiers
alike; and though war prohibition
finally came two years late, it came
over the opposition of powers which
God and men must have expected
would have been first TO demand it.
We must continue an educational
program concerning alcoholics, mar
cotics and opiates, and extend 1t to
a moral suasion, pledge signing cam
paign appealing TO the will, the con-
science, and to the better instincts
that are left after the government,
the Red Cross and the Y. M. G. A.
have spread the contagion of sacred
smoking while too many churches
have looked on silent as a sphinx.
We must declare war on the de-
moralizing prize fight ring We
must re-establish respect for, and
intelligent appreciation and SELF
sacrificing observance of the Lcrd's
Day as an American Sabbath. To
promote public morals, we must
have a campaign for the promotion
of clean and sincere speech; until
blasphemy becomes again unpopu-
lar. We must put our Bible back in
the public schools of the land, which
the Supreme Court has declared is a
Christian nation, whose Scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments are
an integral part of the common law.

The United States Of America has
entered upon the tremendous social ex-
pertinent OF national prohibition OF
the manufacture, sale and use OF alco-
hollc drinks. There will be abundant
time TO give the experiment a fair test
since the prohibition Is by constitu-
tional amendment. To all appearances
this mandate by the American people
against the use of alcohol Is Intended
TO be absolute and final. We have
written Il into organic law-into mag
na charta-in the form OF the eight
ecnth amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States.
The experiment Is n tremendous de-
parture from previous tendencies Of
the American people. We are an indi-
vidualistlc pc pie. with a strong sense
Of personal liberty. Yet here we have
set out TO regulate pc onal habit. not
by statute. but by constitutional
amendment.
And the manner Of the pas ing OF
this constitutional amendment Is quite
ms remarkable as the amendment Itself.
Action on the seventeen previous
amendments 10 the Constitution has
taken between nine months and forty
three months, an average OF about two
years The resolution providing for
this eighteenth amendment was passed
by congress December IL. 1917. ON
January 10. 1919. its ratification by
the states Is accomplished.
What has brought about this ratifi-
cation 80 quicklyl Obviously the Ma
tional Prohibition party has had prnc-
tically nothing TO do with Its accom-.
plishment. The answer evidently Is
that the war has brought II about.
Prohibition Is both an economic ques-
tion and moral question. The war
set the American people to looking at
prohibition from both viewpoints. We
got accustomed TO the thought that
grain was better eaten as food than
swallowed as liquor. inasmuch as we
were told that food would win the
