The Nation Must Make Good
Its Pledges to Our Soldiers

Why, they are all busy at home
all too busy about private affairs
to have any time to be annoyed with
the troubles of common soldiers!
1t was so thrilling to be anxious
and anguished over heroic France or
poor Belgium, and soldiers were SO
handsome in uniform and quite the
fashionable thing, you know. But
soldiers without uniforms-sick sol
diers, crippled soldiers, insane sol
diers-really, quite common people,
just workmen, and needing help
one cawn't possibly thrill over them.
1t isn't done, you know, among the
best people.
If that is not exactly the talk, it is
exactly the thought and the attitude.
There isn't a chance that these
noise-makers and war-shriekers and
self-anointed "patriots" of those
days will give enough time or money
to keep one crippled soldier out of
the poorhouse.
So, then, folks, It's up to us plain,
everyday Americans, who didn't act
the fool just because a lot of diplo-
matte scoundrels in different coun-
tries had set fire to Europe with the
torch of war-it's up to US to take
care of these brave lads; to make
good the nations pledges; to keep
clean the nations honor; to do all
that men and women can do to make
our sick and crippled soldiers as
comfortable as care and loving sym
pathy and good, hard American dol
lars can make them.
These welchers promised them
that.
They won't make good. They
won't help to make good.
So it's up to us, folks; it's up to
us.
And will we do it, people' Will
we look after our lads!
Well tell the world, WE WILL.

WOrd-BOuQuets
Not Valid NOW
rORMER SECRETARY OF THE
NAVY DANIELS. speaking at


- Memphis the other day, said that
we could not yield the little barren
island of zap, with its cables to the
Far East, even if it meant war.
We agree heartily with Mr..
Daniels. But we decidedly disagree
with him concerning the deduction
he draws from the delicate zap stu
alton.
He tried to make his audience be-
lieve that if we had entered the
League of Nations this zap situation
would not have arisen.
But, said Mr.. Daniels, "America
today is without friend" Hence
he would deduce the reason for CIV
ing to Japan without consulting
America this island where the cables
of the Pacific cross and which lies
athwart the strategic routes to the
Philippines and to China.
We suppose that in fairness we
ought to forgive Mr.. Daniels this
little holdover of Wilsonian obses-
sion. 1t will take him some time
yet to slough it off, but in the mean
time we should like to suggest for
his consideration the thought that if
President Wilson had paid little
less attention to the League of Ma
tons and more to protecting Ameri-
can interests, it would not now be
necessary for Secretary Hughes to
settle the zap question; and that if
France and England had been i'm
pressed by the late Administration,
its capacity truly to define American
interests and its courage to maintain
them, we would not now have zap
issue serious enough to make for
mer Cabinet officer, a peaceable and
responsible citizen, declare that we
must insist upon our rights there
even if it means war.
We think that France and Eng
land and Japan, in pursuing their
imperialistic schemes, will now have
to stop, look and listen where the
United States is concerned, instead
of handing us bouquets of words az
they did President Wilson. They
always paid him in his own coin.

Occasionally you have thought OF IL and realized

You have not cared much that you do not exert

-FOUR years ago this month, the
Congress declared war against
4 the German EmDire.

Theaters, churches, schoolhodses,
public squares, the streets them
selves were packed with excited
crowds, cheering frenzied oratory.
And what were the orators shout
ingi
Why, they were shouting how
glorious it was to sacrifice health
and limb and life for the nation.
They were telling how they wished
they could 60 to the fighting fronts
themselves, and were shouting that
since they had to stay at home, their
part of the common sacrifice would
be to provide for the armies in the
! field and the ships on the sea; to,
care for the soldiers mothers and
wives and sisters and children, and
above all to care and provide for the
soldiers who came back gassed, or
wounded, or crippled, or wrecked in
health.
The war ended only little over
tWO years dSo.
And how about these pledges to
the men who left all that men hold
dear and went to fight the battles of
America across the sea!
Have these men been cared fort
You know they have not.
How about their mothers, wives,
sisters, childreni
Have they been cared fort
You know they have not.
How about the boys who were
? brought back sick, crippled, thou
sands of them physical wrecks or
mental wrecksi
Have they been cared fort
You know they have not.
The pledges made to them have
not been kept.
- They are broken pledges-wasted
words, scraps of paper.
What business have we talking
about German bad faith, when every
one of these poor sick, crippled,
broken young men is living wit
ness to OUR bad faith, pathetic
and undeniabhe accusation in the
flesh that The nation has broken its
word, smirched it's honor and indie
Gently and dishonesty defaulted in
dts debt to these soldiers.
Why, even gamblers hold
.welcher in contempt.
And that is what we have done
WEIGHED.
That word exactly expresses our
treatment to these sick and crippled
fighting men.
We can't escape that fact. We
can't dodge it, or sneak around it
or deny it. ,
There they stand, those crippled
lads.
There they lie, those sick lads.
There they sit, pitiful to see, those
poor lads in whose melancholy and
tragic eyes the light of reason has
been extinguished.
And there stands the accusing,
.damning, dishonoring FACT that the
Nation has not cared for them and
does not care for them as the Nation
swore to them that it would do.
The most disgusting feature of the
whole bad business is the don 't-care
attitude of the men and women who
bawled and shrieked that the Nation
should 20 to war, long before it did.
