Chaplain Speaks
The memorial address was
Riven by ' Chaplain John V

"could those who nave fallen in
battle speak from their graves
today, they would plead with us:
'Fight, and work, and pray that
the cause for which we sacrific
ed ourselves may not be lost.
" 'Strive with all your might
for a better nation, yea, a better
world In which people may live.
Work and pray for a God-pleasing
victory, and a Just and last
ing peace'."
Describing the tasks that He
ahead for all, Chaplain Richert,
stated, "Nor yet Is this war over.
There is yet a long row to hoe.
A formidable foe is still facing
our armies in Europe and the
Pacific. As the Lord grants suc
cess to our arms as well as
those of the United Nations,
there will be an ever-increasing
number of battle casualties.
"Many more of those blue
stars on our service flags and
' honor rolls will be turned into
gold. Many niore in our armed
forces will distinguish them
selves in combat. They will show
gallant bravery in action. They
will fight courageously. They
will die gloriously.
Consolation
"And our consolation will be
that they have dona nobly In
defense of our country and all
its liberties and freedoms. They
will have executed their oath of
allegiance to our flag. They will
have given their most highly
prized possession, which can
never be measured in dollars
and cents their very life and
blood."

letter follows:
"The mail situation is bad at
this - end of .the line, and the
trouble seems to be lack of suf
ficient personnel ' to handle it.
We can look around us here In
France and see mail bags stack
ed eight or ten feet deep over
acres and acres. The biggest part
of this war is the problem of sup
plies. , .
"When , the war prisoners
around here see the great heaps
of supplies and long convoys
leaving for the front they admit
they can t possibly win the war.
They say the most amazing thing
to them is that the U. S. should
bring over their railroad equip
ment, but here it is where they
can see it. ...
"I feel fine and am working
hard. I am still an electrician."
