on tho ground that to mcddlo witli
tlio present Volstead law Is to Injure
tho present and futuro morality of
tho puljlc, and to propose to derive
bonus funds from such a source Is a
degrading insult to tho soldier.
Tho Kvcnlng World's poll Is disin
terested. It Is being taken to find
out how tho men principally interested
in bonus legislation feci; and, so far,
at any rate, It seems obvfous that the
great majority of sorvlco men do not
regard tho beer and wlno proposal ns
an Insult to them or to their records
not by 3S to -10 to 1.
From Monserrat Padlllo, No. 130
West 109th Street, nlno months In
Franco ln tho 307th Infantry and
nineteen months In hospitals:
"As to tho bootleggers. These will
find a natural death as soon as those
who at present aro foolish enough to,
patronlzo them find out what rot
ten business theirs is. Heaven
knows that tho mlnuto light wines
and beer are permitted so, as to raise
mone for the bonus, this' money will
bo taken away from mothers and
children to tho pity and shame of
many a home. Wo fought ln Franco
and in Belgium to stop tho destruc
tion of homes and lives of Innocent
women nnd children."
Charles Kdward Bash, No. 249
Woodbine Street, Brooklyn, a Lieu
tenant In the Motor Transport Corps,
says, in part;
"I do not believe In a bonus for tho
ex-scrvlce man, but I do favor meet
ing tho needs of ivery disabled veter
an. .Cash gratitude can not pay for
patriotic service and sacrifice. There
is not enough money anywhere to ro-
i ward true, service.
i "As to tho method of raising the
bonus. I am against a tax on beer
and jvlne to raise tho bonus. I would
absolutely refuse to accept a bonus
from such a source. The Evening
World is running truj to fonm when
It advocates tho nullification of tho
Eighteenth Amendment, both on Its
editorial pago and through Its car
toons." . i
From Oscar II. White, No. 27 Mc
Donough Street, Brooklyn, storekeep
er, Navy Transport Service;
"I do not ask for a bonus, I only
ask for a job. I do not favor a cash
bonus. I do think tho Government
should help tho ex-scrvlce men by
giving them a few acres of land and
aiding them ln developing lj. Tno
duty I did for ,my country during tho
World War cannot be bought with a
cash bonus derived from any source."
Two other correspondents, ono
whoso voto isn't counted because ho
failed to sign it or his letter, said
they wero against anything not
favored by tlio Hearst newspapers.
As against theso opinions came
scores of letters from which, for lack
of space, only excerpts can bo given.

Izing light wines and beer by
amending the Volstead act and
taxed to pay a bonus, and wish to
sayi if such jellyfish as Anderson
and Volstead expect to go to
heaven, t want to go to hell 1 They
are the cause of most of the un
rest due to their snake-in-the-grass
method of putting it over
while we were busy making the
world safe for democracy. Here's
for luck in the fight for tho re
turn of our lost liberty.
Trom Joseph Huzon. Rhincbcck, Jf.
Y., )st Pioneer Infantry:
"When It was all over, why, the
people w-cro so overjoyed for that day
they didn't know what to do with
themselves. Tho next day evqrything
was forgotten. I was out of work for
five months and just because I had
seen servico ln the army people
wouldn't havo mo work for them.
"Bring back the light wines and
beers (but no whiskey) to raise
the bonus. Some of us need it
very badly."
Frank M. Julian ot C3 Franklin
Street, Silver Lake, N. J., n Sergeant
of tho 12th Balloon Qompanv, twelve
months overseas, says:
"The bootlegger has done moro
.harm to this country In ono year than
light wines or beer In fifty years.
Lchrman must have been Prcsidf nt of
the Purity Lcaguo at Camp Gordon.
Somebody ought to sit on his head a
while. A .bonus is needed by 00 per
cent, of tho discharged servico men.
They come from common families
there are no millionaire chorus girl
chasers in that 00 per cent. The
average of them is looking for his
bonus to get his wlfo a pair of shoes."
From II. Hoffman, No. 693 Tenth

dream come true? Give them
back what was robbed from
them while their hands were tied
in France, light wines and beer.
They pulled the wool over our
eyes when we were far from
home. Why don't they in turn
pay a bonus?
"Why can't they put a bonus bill

like they did with tho Volstead

MAHOMET OR CHRIST

IN PROHIBITION
Whichever Was Right, the Other
Mttsi Have Been Wrong,
Says Clergyman.
EMMOUTON. Md., Feb. 27.
In St Mary's Episcopal Church
here yesterday tho Rev. W. A.
CrawfoTd-Frost, preaching on th
subject "Christ or itahomot,
Which Do You Follow?" uald:
"Drastic Prohibition Is not a
new thing. Tho Turks have had
It for a thousand years. The
tlmo has como when tho people of
America must decide whether
they will follow Jesus or Mn-
hornet on this question. They
have not had a chance to vote on
It as a whole.
"If Jesus is right, Mahomet la
wrong; if Mahomet Is right.
Jesus Is wrong. Tho followers of
Mahomet have always been Inef
ficient, dishonest and cruel. .
"Tho Christian nations, which
are tho greatest users of arcohollo
beverages, are the most kindly
and humane, ln care of the sick,
tho orphans, tho aged and the
homeless. They are tho most ef
ficient and the most honest."
