Give Them Square Deal.

Our soldiers, sailors and marines
offered themselves for the great adj
venture. Many of them have been
through the great adventure, In which
they offered their lives. to the end that
justice might prevail and the world
be made safe to live In. Those who
did not come face to face with the
great adventure nevertheless were
ready to do so, and 1t was through no
fault of theirs that they did not have
the opportunity. In training camps
working from early morning until late
at night, fitting their bodies to meet
the physical hardships Of war, fitting
their minds to meet the mental shock
of combat and In the battle line I'M
der soul-stirring conditions, these men
stood ready to make the great sacri-
flee.
Let us remember that a square deal
for our h~onorably discharged soldiers,
sailors and marines will strengthen
the morale Of the nation and will help
to create a sound national conscious
hess ready to act promptly in support
of truth, justice and right.

RESENT CRITICISM
 OF BOYS ON RHINE

Mrs. Aaron Chesbrough of Toledo, o. welfare worker with the army of oc- cupation, upon her return from France has been writing some things that do not "st well'' with the boys on the Rhine.
 Here is a remark which has come to the attention of Birmingham man cook, Sam J. Russell, Company A, 18th in fantry, now in Germany, whose home ad- dress is 5350 Fourth avenue, north:
 General Pershing is so alarmed over the conditions existing that he has sent officers to the different Y. M. c. A. huts to give his talk and ask for help He says the influence of one Y. M. C. A. woman is worth more than dozens of officers put together. This staff officer says the of occupation soldiers that did not see the horrors of war or the terrible vil- lainy of the Germans"
 Russell, in writing to a Birmingham friend comments as follows on Mrs. Ches- brough's remarks: "She has made one serious mistake. Tn our army of occupa- ton we have to our regret 10 to one men that do not want to be here. Still we all as whole want ot do our part, but we do hate to be lowered in our own country by such as she. We sit and think O, our all-American pals that fell by our sides and such as she can live and throw surs at them and us. Any way, her re- ward is going to be great when the Toledo boys return home
