In loving memory OF my dear hus-
band. Corn. Edwin II. Smith, who was
accidentally shot May 5, 1871, at Camp
Edwards. Mass;
One year has passed, how long it
seems,
Still in my heart his dear face beams;
] who loved him, only know
How much lost one year ago.
A. sudden change in a moment fell,
With not q chance to say farewell;
He lived for us and gave his hest.
God grant him peace and eternal rest.
Ny inervfs are almost shattered. ~
My heart Is broken, too:
Tsut some sweet day I'll see again
Your smiling face. tits true.
'Tis a token of love and remembrance.
To one I shall never forget;
His absence to me is a sorrow
His loss Is too great to forget.
His smiling face, his pleasant way,
Are a pleasure to recall
He had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him.
Some day we know not when,
To clasp his hand in the better land,
Never to part again.

Of the principles of the Atlantic
Charter which in TURF lists the foul
freedoms. One of the four freedoms
is freedom from want which at once
involves economies and the most in
innate interest of man, his persona.
welfare. At the Flag day celebra'
ton at the White House for the first
time since We entered the war the
President offered to the German and
the Japanese people, over the heads
of their governments the hope that
they might share the benefits of al
Allied victory. For the first time
there has been a direct official con.
tradiction of the charge continually
dinned into German ears by Herr
GoebbelS that defeat means their
destruction. The President offered
them the opposite. He said in his
Flag day speech:
I'VE ask the German people, still
dominated by their Nazi whip
masters, whether they would rather
have the mechanical hell of Hitler's
new order or-in place of that,
freedom of speech and religion,
freedom from want and from fear"
He made an identical appeal to
the Japanese people.
Without attempting to attack or
defend the practicability of the Presi-
dents plan or the theories upon
which it is based, it is significant
that an effort is being made: First,
to S a war weapon Oend-lease)
to blaze a trail to peace; second, to
provide an economic basis for the
postwar restoration and, third, to
make use of both of these factors in
driving a wedge between the enemy
peoples and their governments by
offering them hope of something
better than what they have.
