W IIL PLEASE 1HE WOULD
The answer of President Wilson
to Loo despicable Hun will please
th.v world and the soldier at the
trout.' It will pleaso France and En
cland and those countries who have
fun'erod so much at the hands of the
thinvos and the marauders who are
no afraid that the same dose that
tiny have given others will be given
tluMii i the allied soldiers get on the
soil of Germany.
The soldiers having fought the
bal ties and won the war are the ones
Lo make peace and arrange the ar
mistice. They know how to deal
will the brutes and will deal with
yinm right.
Again the President would assume
too much resuonsibiiity if he should
attempt to settle the question alone,
or if he should attempt to make the
opinion or America too preeminent
Li, the matter. If it is not worked
out in accordance with the wishes
of all thi allies the position of Am
erica in the future may be in jeop
ardy. America does not want to assume
die role of dictator in the affairs of
UK! world no more than she desires

UUKUTE TO CHIEF DICKENS
May we not as un humble repre
sentative of the Colored race add
our mood of praise to the life and
work of the late Chief Dickens. The
colored people found in police and
urterwards Chief Dickens an up
vifTlit m.Mt and a fearless officer. He
showed litem no special favors, but
universally treated them with kind
ncsH, consideration and justice.
I in was never abusiv e, never
abused his office in an arbitrary
maimer, but at the same time he
was linn in the right and in the dis
charKe of his duty. He had in his
i,.-.-n -4 nut Im. dutv. mercy, mod
eralion ant
i.iown not only to those in the high
er walks of life, but to the poor and
thoiiu beneath him, to the humblest
colored man with whom he had
cause to deal.

you are all enjoying good health.
Well, I am a long ways from the
firing line now, don't know when 1
will get any nearer, can't even hear
the big guns firing.
We are in a little town in which
there never has been my U. S. sol
diers before. Gee, we have a time
trying to talk to these people but we
can make them understand what we
are talking about after a while.
We stay in all vacant buildings
There is no camp here at all. Thi
is certainly a pretty country, what
I have seen of it. It looks right
much like England, only the build
ings are quite different.
We certainly have had some trip
coming here, have been steady on
the go for a good while, but think
we will stay here for a little while.

were on the ocean, but soon got o. k

Have you heard from Koy since
he came over
Has Johnny been drafted yet?
Guess he has by now, though.
Well, since I started this letter I
have been issued a package of smok
ing tobacco, so I am fixed o. k. for
smokes for a while.
Has Charley gotten any better yet
or has he been sent home? I did
not have time to write him before I
left Wadsworth. Guess he stopped
there to see me if he started home
before he heard from you.
Tell papa I have seen some of the
funniest looking little trains. They
look like toys beside the ones in the
U. S. The engines in this country
'are something like ours.
Well, mama, as this is the only
piece of paper that I can get now,
guess that I had better close for this
time, hoping that I have not written
anything that will not pass the cen
sor, and you will get this letter all
right. When you write me address
your envelopes with ink.

In America, provided she is surrounded
by the proper atmosphere of good taste
and refinement, which is reflected in the
furniture chosen by her parents. Here
no titles are recognized, people are taken
at their true worth. ,
The same holds true of furniture' In
our library and living room chairs, settees
and tables in mahogany, oak and walnut,
Americans have at their command, at mod
erate prices, furniture which foreigners
pay fabulous prices for, and identical in
design with the most cherished pieces in the
royal houses of England and the continent.
Made by American workmen in Queen
Anne, William and Mary, Louis XVI and
Adam period styles, our library and liv
ing room furniture is a marvelous combi
nation of old master designs and modern,
durable construction.
We are now showing a complete line
