Certainly little sympathy wili bo

shown by the courts, for the. vownrd
who hid behind n woman's skirtt, o:

That Dr.

M. K. Hall should have
to remove permanently
of excitement or of victory unwon Ui
make army lifo tolerable.
There is no way in which such a
condition enn bo avoided. Of course,
every effort will be made by officers
mid relief orfrnntzutioriH to keep the
men interested and liuppy, but the
homo folks aro already reeeiviiiR let
to a full of the soldier's weariness, at
inactivity, his longing to bo home.
Ho'vevcr much sympathy mpy bn
felt for the boy who must stay, it
must not go into the answering let
ters from home in uny weakening
terms. At no time since our boys en
tered the service bus the content of
the homo letter been so vital.
Jherc is j,CU)ttHue..Jiutwccn dirt
content1 and dishonor. In order that
the boy may tay on the safe sido
of the line and perform his full duty
well, the homp letter mimt be interest

er mawkish nympathy which shall
muke bim sorry for himself and from
detailed account of family distresses
which may temnt bini to desert.
Parting with sons and husbandi;
was agony when they went away to
the danger of active service; but t
every one of 1hi,in the going was
made easier by the tang of adventure.
Now, to the boy bored with static
duty, homo is place of infinite va
riety, of freedom and opportunity.
Just a word might tempt him to come
back to it lit fore his time. It will
take a finer courage to withhold that
word perhaps than it took to speak
the one which sent the soldier on hi.-
way. but it must be withheld. Hotter
cicnth, than life without honor. HeUev

racks life than the truly intolerable
ptigmn of desertion or Insubordination.
Such letters only should be written

the public should insist that these let
