Christmas In Camp

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger!
SIr-Tho EyENiSG PUBLIC LEDGER is AL
ways a welcome visitor at Camp Dix. The
boys are very eager for It's arrival on
account OF the many attractive features It
contains, including its helpful editorials
and its interesting Peoples Forum Natu-
rally, In these peace times, we have much
leisure on our hands, and are especially
attracted to the poems that are printed
many of them In the Forum. which eSpe-
Cially appeal TO us. and short time after
the arrival OF tho EVENING PUHIC LEDGER
leach day II Is not possible TO hnd copy
from which the poem has not been clipped.
But It Is hot OF this that l want 10
write, but to speak briefly OF a short letter
that recently appeared under the heading.
How to Make Christmas Worth While,
In which It was suggested that Philadel-
phians should take over the soldiers on
vacation at Camp Dix during the holiday
season. This letter In your paper was
widely read, and ! am sure It found re
sponstve chord In the minds OF many OF
the boys who become especially blue at this
period.
thank the writer OF this letter for the
Camp IIx boys for saying that the First Di-
vision boys are a fine lot, and always con
duct themselves in a Eentlcmsnly way when
visiting Philadelphia. This division Is made
up OF boys fruI'. all over the country, many
OF them coming from the extreme South, and
are unable to go homo for Christmas. !
am not writing this to secure an invitation
tor any OF them, and personally l have
triendl in tho city who have invited me ~

spend almost all my weok-ends with them,
DO many others OF the First Division
men. who are loud In their praise as to
Phil adelphla hospitality.
am sure that tho service men always
sppre Ciato any little courtesy that is shown
Il en-. and am also sure many of them, far
from home at Christmas. would appreciate
fully any little consideration given them
Especially is this season Of the year trying
to tho boys in camp. where the routine
work frequently becomes 'rksome. and they
always gladly accept any invitation that
will bring a change into their mon0tonous
Ne. Life in camp is never what II Is in

Government iUrs everything possible for the
comfort OF the boys. but those away from

Needs OF Unemployed

T~ the Editor Of the Evening PubNc Ledge:
Sir--Many OF your readers have given
very good and sound advice through YOUR
Peoples Forum column as how b'st to help
the unemployed In the procuring nt work
but there have been few. II any, suggestions
az TO how to save them from stervau"n IN
making them pay out all the money they
have saved for necessities.

my wife and I put in bank and deprived
ourselves OF many things teit that this
money would help me tide over a rough
place should I be overtaken. For sonl-

MORO nothing. and II don't soon find en-

have been doing everythlt possible to
gain employment. have followed out every
clue to position that came 10 my attention.
Ir doing this am compelled at the present
time to pay almost double the car fare that
was asked OF me before the war. This
means considerable TO the iaboring man.
These street car fares wero raised during
the war II la Dor has to take less In wages.
why shoui not corporations BE- compelled to
take less?
II man is compelled to travel on the
railroads tod1y not for pleasure, but for
business. nc has 20 pay twice tho former
fare, The taxes Of every character in the
city are almost doubled. We must have
shelter. and have to pay almost double the
former amount OF rent Is this fair for only
the working man TO be forced 10 take less
for his labor whllo corporations, taxes and
everything else is showing no reduction
There muot be an equitable adjustment every
where, otherwise labor will not bo able TO
live and will not be wiling TO accept a
rate OF pay that will not enable them 70
make ends meet. 1t t unfair for the peo-
pie with money 10 discriminate against
those who have to earn their living.
