Do you people at home feel at times that this war has made your life pretty hard? Read what an Aim'rlcan correspondent writes about one of our buy» who has been doing his duty “In a little field hospital west of Montdidler I stopped at the bedside of an American boy, one of those victims uf the German mustard gas with which the Huns are making ull present gains. His eyes were matted with yellow pus and he could not see His face was terribly burned His lips were swollen and purple His whole body had been turned the color of an Indian, and portions of It looked like melted flesh, as though It had been 11qu Wied. “The fighting had been renewed all along the Amerlcun Hues, and German wounded had begun coming Into our hospitals. I said to thia soldier: ” 'The boys are getting their revenge for you fellows to-night.' 11« smiled through his seared lips, and In u voice so faint tliut I hud to bend down to listen, be gasped, 'God' 1 wish I was back there with 'em" ” Do you still think your life a hard one?

That depend» upon use and the user. Accord ing to Richelieu the proverb only applied when the pen was in the hand of the truly great. However the mat ter may stand between pen and sword, how about the relative importance to them of the mouth? That the tongue is a fiery little member by which a great matter may be kindled has been marked a long time ago, and in Holy Writ. Its power has been eloquently set forth at length in phrases as familiar as household words. The effect of its abuse has been noted. But use and abuse should be and are opposite and equal. Which fact is frequently lost sight of, especially in this present world war. Yet the tongue has played a greater part than the pen and almost as great a part as the sword in determining events, and on both sides of the game. Witness Von Bethmann-Hollweg’s ineffable remark about the solemn treaty which he characterized as “a scrap of paper.” Has any thing disclosed the German mind more completely? Has anything done more to fix the resolution of the enemies of Germany than that careless phrase? We intend that they shall not be permitted to regard treaties to which they are pledged merely as scraps of paper. By no means. Again, has any single contribution to the world-war efforts by any single man equaled the words of that maker of telling and unforgetable phrases par excellence, President Wilson? When he speaks the world listens and its better part heeds and approves. He has contributed the equivalent of great and successful battles by his ringing words, and some of them are as immortal as the words of Lincoln or Luther or Shake speare or Paul. Nevertheless, it is impossible to speak too much and to lose sight of action in talk. I do not think we have approached that point yet. Indeed, when the history of what the United States has accomplished in its first year of war is known we shall be surprised as well as delighted at the amount. There is still room for talk, therefore, and it is my opfeion that the more we talk about the issues of the day the more we discuss our problems, the more we seek to encourage each other with speech—in this instance more golden than silence—the better off we shall be and the more we shall achieve. Don’t disdain speaking, it is still a power. Talk on, my friends. If you do it the right way you will help greatly. But if you can also act, by all means act first and talk afterward. the present officials are guilty of anything that warrants their recall Western World for one would like to know It. We believe in hearing the evidence and giving the accused an for defense. before opportunity oouvlctlng. To vote men out of office on suspicion would be unjust and un-American.
