ri THE plrRIIC.


The story appearing in the Daily
News of last Monday concerning Les
ter P. Barlow of Minneapolis, national
organizer of the World War Veterans,
in which he is accused Of being q con-
scientious objector, is 100 per cent
fabrication. The story was started by
the misnamed Northwest Warrior
Magazine of Minneapolis, magazine
recently started in the interest Of
fighting progressiveness. The first
twenty thousand dollars contributed
toward the starting Of the Northwest
Minneapolis Bank Clearing House.
This fact explains clearly whose bat
ties this so-called Warriors Magazine
intended to fight and has been fight
ing. The interests whose battles this
Warriors Magazine is fighting do not
like the World War Veterans platform
which opposes universal military
training and calls for referendum on
war by the people before an agrees
sive war can be started; also calls for
the CONSUMPTION of excess war profits
What hurts these interests is that if
there should be war there would be
no war profits and who ever heard of a
war without its big fat profits.
The fight being made upon Mr.. Bar
low or any other World War Veteran
Official is an indirect fight being made
upon our platform of American ideals.
Mr.. Barlow entered the navy at the
age of seventeen, held wireless and
gunnery records during the period he
served. He is the inventor of the
Barlow aerial bomb, used so extensive
~ in the recent war. Mr.. Barlow
waived royalties Of thousands of dol
lars upon his war patents. When the
declaration of war upon Germany was
made by the United States Mr.. Bar
low was in England, where he had
joined the British aerial forces at the
request Of the head of that depart
ment. Upon Americas declaration of
war Mr.. Barlow returned to this coun-
try and perfected several devices for
our aerial department. In 1918 Mr..
Barlow went to France upon orders
from Secretary of War Baker. The
attacks being made upon Mr.. Barlow
are un-American and are made for the
purpose of destroying the confidence
of the public in the World War Veter-
ans.
The World War Veterans are thor
oughly American and believe in Amer
lean principles and methods. Our slo-
gan--"The enforcement of the Consri-
tition of the United States of Ameri-
ca as it is written"-proves with our
actions in supporting this slogan our
thorough Americanism. Our local post
is made up of real men, the men who
withstood the hardships of war will
ingly but who now demand a fair
share of the democracy for which
we fought. We believe in the princi-
Piles of our platform and we propose
to stand by them. The World War
was fought for democracy and we pro-
pose to see that that democracy rules
the day. Our organization is composed
of over five hundred thousand loyal
American boys who served and before
long we will be over million strong.
We of the World War Veterans are for
America first. last and always.

BABY KISSING

Lady Greenwood Would Get

If, as has been suggested, she were to

At a time when the franchise is be-
ing widely extended in Britain and the
politicians of America are studying the
problem Of the woman vote as they have
never done before, the question how
to get the woman vote" is of unprecedent-
ed political importance.
As the English wife Of one of the fore
most Canadian born politicians in Eng
land, and as a seasoned campaigner in
aid of her husband, Lady Greenwood
speaks with conviction on the subject OF
vote getting methods.

But on such occasions there is a

as an affectation and would afterward

THE men, find. are in deadly earnest
and have well conceived views on all the
vital questions Of the day.
1.-THE women are more concerned about
their general welfare than about candi-
dates views of their children.
''They have keener interest in politics
than men ever give them credit for.
Housing, food prices, and the prices
of all commodities are problems which
affect them more deeply than anything
else, and satisfactory answer TO such
questions is more convincing than kiss
on a baby's cheek.
IT should certainly pay more attention
to principles Of economies than to gossip
about the personal affairs of voters.
II do believe, however, that if dis
trict were asked to choose between two
women of equal intelligence, personality
charm and general appearance would have
strong advantage"

Vealesl nothing to him. 1 intended to question Chrys-some day.
 The whole situation was just mys- terious, just plausible enough to re- strain Daddy Lori4ner m carrying out his plan. He dared not risk what Certeis prophesied. If Chrys were s;artled-or frightened out of her som condition, she might rise. as from the dead, but she would be nothing more than a beautiful walk ing doll forevermore,
 Daddy and Certeis had several prf- yate conversations-but nothing re- suited in consequence of them For that reason. Daddy had been unafraid to invade the Mexican hacienda. war Or no war. He knew very well that Ham, ilton Certeis was too skilled a diplo- mat to interfere directly with the af- fairs of any Lorimer. even when he had an unlimited opportunity to do so. What we Lorimers had to dread was some unexpected. unaccountahle
