To the Editor:
In your editorial for the is
sue of August 5, entitled. "A
Dictatorship of the Ex-Soldier,"
you state that our soldiers
served during the world war for
a wage three times as high as
that paid by Great Britain, and
twenty times as high as that
paid by France"
No one denies that statement (;
it is true. But do you go far
enough in your reasoning ?
Wouldn't it be fair to the ex-
service man and to your read
ers for you to state further that
our soldiers served for from
seven to fifteen times. less pay
than was given to those who
did not go to war?
Was there any fairness in the
Wilsonian type of draft that
took one man to camp, and to
war, at $1.00 per day and board,
while his neighbor who was no
better man went to the ship
yards and the army canton
ments as a laborer at from $500
to $500 per day?
After all, aren't you just a
little hard on the ex-service

The speaker asked his listeners what

Washington and Lincoln

Benjamin Franklin" he said, thought
Of our Nation as one made up of self
governing units called States, all united
in Federal Government for the pur-
poses Of defense, justice and the carry

Secretary Wilbur said that many
forces Of change had operated since
the day of these patriots.
Just at present" he said. many of
our local government and State gov

There never was a time when our

for some small selfish local or provin

The speaker asserted that lit Is just
as important for us to think IN terms
of the Nation today as it was for the
men who went out under those flags
to think in terms of their country when
they fought in battle. We cannot have

he added.
In concluding, Mr.. Wilbur said every
city, county and State must fight for

would tell us that We were spoiled and
have lost our freedom to handle our

men rolling down the Avenue in three
limousines at the head of the Memo
rial day parade.
But for a time there was consterna-

were to be mustered in.
Only two had reported, and already
bands we're striking up pre-emptory
notes, and younger battalions were in
full marching strength.
Visitors Join Parade.
Then a handful of visitors appeared.
An elderly colored man, wearing the
only blue uniform of the day, who
said he came down from New York
State, was first.
After him came D. P. Barker OF
142d Illinois Infantry, who received an
enthusiastic welcome into the little
group.
Barker. he said. as parade officials
hurried him to his place in waiting
automobile, was seeing Washington for
his first time.

always wanted to-with marching

the South. mostly in Tennessee, and
then returned to Illinois.
Good Way to See City.
"Ive always wanted to see Washing

younger"
He chuckled as the Marine Band
struck up martial air and the column
began to move This is a good way
to see Washington" he repeated
F. ]. Young of Washington. who
fought through the Civil War with the
I'd Illinois Artillery. said the local vet
Grams were glad, very glad, to have re-
Inducements.
Most of the five who turned out last
yeSS were missing and the ranks needed
filling.
Mr.. Young added hopefully, as the
column got under way, that what the
Union veterans lacked in numbers they
made up in rank.

Nine men," exclaimed Mai Gen.
Young, including the three colored
veterans with sweep of his hand,

So the Union veterans joined the
parade, nine men leaning on their
canes while they nodded an acknowl-
edgment of the waves of applause
which followed their slow-rolling auto
mobiles up the Avenue.
