through Illinois I met up with
some fine young fellows who had
served In the army. Ono OF them
I had met at Coblenz when he
was on duty there.
FEEL BUNCOED.
They were talking about the dis
illusionment which events since
they returned home have brought.
They were not agreed as to
the league Of nations. Some
thought It would have prevented
the chaos that has come. Others
doubted. But all were agreed that
the United States had fallen
down.
1--WE boys went over the top
to win peace and some Of our
comrades died thinking they had
made It permanent. It looks like
statesmen and diplomats by their
blunders or cOwardice have
thrown away all the fighting
mon won"
They agreed on that statement,
and one of the chaps, who had
been decorated by his own coun.
try and by France for courage
beyond the CAN Of duty, said: II
am almost sorry I enlisted. I
thought we had won something
precious. I enlisted to fight In q
war against war. Sometimes I
feel that we were fooled then. I
know we have been buncoed since
then"
OPINION ALWAYS WRONG.
We shall get the true sentiment
from these men rather than from
the atmosphere Of Washington.
Indeed. II you wish to find out
what the real folks Of the United
States think about any question,
I will give you a rule that will
never fail:
