"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."

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.
