"The Camp Dodtrer," official pap er or the XXth division, Is the first national army newspaper evor pub lished and it Is a fine example of newspaper work portraying- dally life at Camp Dodge whore many of the Crow Wine county boys of Minnesota are being trained. The issue of November 23 1b 12 pages, and the pages are eight col umn ones. The cditor-ln-chlof Is Meut. h. R. Fairall. An editorial takes up tho question of "The Makln's." It is most interesting to read such an editorial when written by soldiers thcmeelvos, for they certainly ought to know what they are wilting about. It stntes: . "Attention is again directed to ward organized groups of American women who are receiving much pub licity in their jittempts to thwart the purpose of the 'Smokes for Sold iers campaigns being conducted throughout tho country. "Arguing from a highly intellect ual piano they represent that the money invested in 'smokes' is wasted and could be better utilized in chari table work Instead of nurturing and maintaining a 'pernicious' habit. . "They fall to take cognizance of the ract that relief must be given for the excitable mental stato that ac companies the tedium of military life both in the trenches nnd In training. They do not realize that tobacco is a practically harmless mental sedative and easiest obtainable agent of. layitt.ion that1 the soldier can appre ciate. . 'They do not remember that In looking after the welfare or his men almost every commanding general of the present war, regardless of na tionality, has specified that tobacco was a necessity In maintaining thi morale nnd Insisted upon its bclnr a part of the regular nil Ion. i no jvmerican government, new la the conflict, has left this part of tho roldlers' comfort to be filled bv the regimental exchanges or canteen apparently deriding that tobacco In a luxury, if that is tho true reus on, it Is nil the more reason for n steady flow of 'smokes' to the sold iers In war. They need whatever luxury can be spared at home. "Hut tho urgent calls from France for American, tobacco shows the In ability of the 'canteen' to cope with tlie situation under actual war con ditions. That Is the field filled by tlie 'Hniokes for Soldiers' campaigns. "While the Insidious attempts to nt-en (he rtream of packaged comfort will provo futile it may be that the Influence will reach n few of the nar row minded. I!ut theno can well be spared as contributors to tho tobacco barrels and boxes. "There should be no let-up In the -.Smokes for Soldiers'' campaigns." fV ' , STAR, TODAY AND TOMORROW Message From Bishop R. J Cooke, of theM. E.

(i ! ,(' I !! :: : -) ! i li I 1 1 TO YOU, FATHERS AND MOTHERS First of all, I know how you will feel this Christmas time. There will be a vacant chair and it will be the oftenest looked at chair in the house. There will be no centering of feeling around the fireside this Christmas. Your hearts will be divided; part here at home, a part away at a camp some where, or across tlie waters in France or Flanders. I know how you will feel! But you know why he went. His country, your country, called him; called him to the supreme sacrifice of love and loyalty for the highest nnd noblest ideals that a man can offer. The days will be long, and the longings of your heart will grow heavy till you see him again who went away so bravely swinging into line as they marched nway with a wave of the hand under the flutter of flags and the beat of tho drum to the war for God and humanity. But suppose he had not gone! Suppose all that was noble and sublimely beautiful in you, in your blood and tho blood of your fathers had died in him. That in him there was no real soul. That in him there was nothing that could respond to the call of the nation, to theory of suffering, war weary, dying humanity battling against fierce injustice, oppression, barbarism and savagery without parallel In human history. Suppose that he was. in sensible to all this, to all ideals of freedom, of justice, to the reign of God on tho earth, the victory of truth over fulsehood, of Christ Jesus over Satan and all his works. Supposo be turned away from all that makes life worth living, thinking only of saving his own worthless life wijat would you thing of him? . Would you bo proud of him? Would you bo proud of your self? Better shed tears of sacrificial joy than tears of dishonor and shame. But the tender soul of mother will brood over her son wounded or maimed for life. Yes! And in visions of sleepless night I, too, have seen two stal wart boys shot to pieces, lying in tho trench or in the hospital. War is no picnic. Agony is there. Death is there, and the sorrow of it shadows out lives to life's end. But on tho other side think of the boys coming home again.. They may come buck wounded and maimed, but think of St. Paul shouting wjth conquering joy, "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus!" Will not our sons be proud with conquering joy, "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus!" Will not our sons be proud of their marks, their proofs of love for country and loyaltyto things that are divinely worth while? You will never be ashamed of their wounds I But my son may die. That would be grief indeed if there were no life immortal. But shall wo not rather look straight into the face of God who sent his Son to die for us, and behold him welcoming those who died for others? Depend upon it, no one in heaven will step out of the way to wel come or salute the coward and slacker. But thinking of the mercy of God and the heroic Christ, I see all the hosts of brave soldiers who sacrificed themselves, all the brave men nnd women who foui'ht life's battles, soldiers of freedom, martyrs and confessot-3 rise from their thrones to cheer and salute their bruve comrades who have fallen in battle, while nil the trumpets of God bid them welcome to everlasting life. Be' glad then this Christinas time that you have a son whom the whole nation is proud of, a son who has shown himself worthy of you, and trust God who gave his only Son to die for the wholerare. He knows how we feel today, nnd into his hands let us commit our loved onesin life nnd death, on land nnd sea, to his fatherly love. R. J. COOKE. Helena, Montana. Arrested As a Spy.
