The Long Fight At Home

Euripides is said to define liberty In trans
lation) thus:
This is true Liberty when free born men
Having to advise the public may speak
free, 800
Which he who can, and will, deserve
high praise,
Who neither can nor WILL may hoio his
peace; 49,
What ran be ulster in State than this?
of course we are fighting, as everybody
knows for free speech and equally free 81
!ence. Speech is one OF our freedoms anu
furthermore and more Importantly is guar
anteed under our Bill of Rights.
But if the truth must be known, We are
fighting for other things too-simple things
like good juicy T-bone steak at reasonable
price in a public eating place. And we are
getting in our ticks for good Workmanship
and material in our clothes. But especially
we are fighting to get rid OF artificial re
straints and controls and the utter confusion
and damnation Of the bureaucrats who have
instituted them. We are fighting to regain
our business and our industry and our right
to trade in open markets, without federal die
tation. We are fighting to bring an end te
totalitarianism at home as well as abroad.
But we can't hope to win any of these
fights unless we first recognize the increas.
ing encroachments Of government upon on,
private existence, and then organize to over
throw it.
We nnight as well face the facts. The stronf
probability is that we will be longer winning
these battles than in defeating our foreign
foes, and we can't win them at all II we d
not seriously set ourselves to the task.
Totalitarianism is not wholly complete
yet, II it were these lines could not be writ
ten. But we need to take care lest, alonI
with other of our cherished rights, we los
the right Of free speech too. And then, wher
will our liberty be?

Day by day our prayers ascend
to Thee, our Father in Heaven,
for all who serve our Country and
cur Cause. Many of our prayers
have not been answered yet, ex.
eept in a quickened consciousness
Of Thee and of Thy part in the

that We not grow weary in wait
ing before Thee. Let our contn-
.ual supplications lead us into an
cver-growing realization of the sa-
credness and supremacy of Thy
will. In every experience = come
victory or come defeat to our
forces come loss or safety to our
own beloved - enable us to cay,

in its ranks are doing their part nobly in their
new assignments.
The irony Of this is that it was Patton who
slips back. And the pity Of it is that the
United States Army is losing the services OF
an able soldier because he could not master
himself in the pinch.

ONE The CEEh6OOhG FEN-
INSULA - By Wireless) - The
day after troops of our Ninth
Division pushed through and cut
off this peninsula I wtnt touring
in a jeep over the country they
had just taken.
This Norman country is truly
lovely in many places. Here in
the western part of the peninsula
the ground becomes billy and roll
ing. Everything is a vivid green
there are trees everywhere, and
the view across the fields from a
rise looks exactly like the rich,
gentle land of eastern Pennsylvan-
ia. It is too wonderfully beautiful
to be the scene Of war, and yet so
were parts of Tunisia and Sicily
and Italy. Some day I would like
tt cover a war in country that
is as~ugly as war itself.
Our ride was sort Of spooky
one. The American troops had
started north and were driving on
Cherbourg. This was possible be.
cause the Germans in that section
were thoroughly disorganized, and
by now capable Of nothing more
than trying to escape.
There was no traffic whatever
on the roads. You could drive for
miles without seeing a soul. We
had been told that the country was
still full of snipers, and we know
there were patches of Germans
in the woods waiting to surrender.
And yet we saw nothing. The beau
tiful, tree-bordered lanes wer e
empty. Cattle grazed contented in
the fields. It was as though life
had taken a holiday and death was
L, hiding. 1t gave you the willies.
Finally We came to stone
school house which was being used
as prisoner-of-war collection
point, so we stopped for a look.
Here groups of prisoners were con.
stantly being brought in. And here
individual American soldiers who
had been cut off behind the lines
fer days came YEARLY to rest fol-
a while in the courtyard before
going on back to hunt up their
outfits.
Most of the prisoners coming
in at the time were from a captur-
ed German hospital. General doc
tors had set UP shop in a shed ad.
joining the school and were treat
ing their prisoners, who had slight
wounds. At the moment l walked
up. one soldier had his pants down
and a doctor was probing for 8
fragment in his hip.
Two or three OF the German Of
ficers spoke some English. They
were in a very good humor. One
OF them, a doctor, said to me:
I've been in the army fou1
years, and today is the best day
I have spent in the army
In this courtyard I ran onto two
boys who had just walked bacl
after losing their jeep and being
surrounded for hours that morning
by Germans.

Marguerite Drew Motto,
Plaintiff,
VS.. -


Charles Victor Motto,
Defendant.
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR
MONTGOMERY COUNTY,
SITTING AS A COURT
OF EQUITY.
b No. 1882 Equity.
The object of. this suit is to pro-
cure a divorce q 0tnculO mGtri-
nsonii by the plaintiff, Marguerite
Drew Motto, from the defendant,
Charles Victor Motto.
The bill in substance states
That the plaintiff, Marguerite
Drew Motto, was married to the
denfendant, Charles Victor Motto,
by a Minister of the Gospel, in
Washington, d. c., on July 2,
1925; that there were no children
born to the plaintiff and the de-
fendant as a result Of the afore-
said marriage; that after the plain
tiff and the defendant were mar
ried they lived together as husband
and wife until July 2, 1888, at
which time the defendant, without
any just cause or reason, aban-
doned and deserted the plaintiff
and declared his intention to live
with her no longer and that such
abandonment has continued unin-
terruptedly since said date and is
deliberate and final, and the sepa-
ration of the parties is beyond any
reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliation; that the conduct of the
plaintiff has always been kind, af-
fectionate and above reproach, and
that she has never given the de-
fendant any just cause or reason
to desert and abandon her, but, on
the contrary, has behaved herself
as a faithful, chaste and affection
ate wife; that the plaintiff resides
at 80 Mississippi Avenue, Silver
Spring, Montgomery County, Mary
land, and has resided continuously
in said County and State for more
than one year preceding the filing
Of this suit, and the defendant is
nonresident of the State Of
Maryland, his last known address
being 1924 North Vernon Street,
Arlington, Virginia.
The bill then prays that the
plaintiff may be divorced vincuLo
DS1tqiDl0mii from the defendant, and
for such other and further relief
as the plaintiffs case may require.
1t is, thereupon, this 18th day
Of December, 1914, by the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County, as
a Court Of Equity, ordered that the
plaintiff by causing a copy of this
order to be inserted in some news

the State of Maryland, Of the
object and substance of this Bill
of Complaint, warning him to ap-
pear in this Court, in person or
by solicitor, on or before the 1st

cause, if any he has, why a decree
ought net to be passed as prayed.
