Send Him a Paper.
(By H. L. R. J. B. Mo.)
Said a private in the army as he
chattered to his mates,
I wonder what they're doing in old
Union City. ,
Is Chas. D. still running around?
Is old "Punch" stifl Jerking sodas at
the Red Cross?
I wish I had a paper from the home
town, old or new,
An' could read about the pe)pUJ un'
the places that I know.
I can't get interested in the daily
mails or Times,
I want the home town paper with its
latest local crimes.
I'm wondering "who has married since
the day I marched away,
Whc's been buried, since I left there
. oh, it seems so long ago
For a copy of the paper I would give
up two montho pay.
There's so much I'd like to read of
an' so much I want to know.
Said a pr'vate in the army, "It's a
funny thing to me,
But they seem to think a paper we
don't ever want to see.
They write us cheerful letters an'
they Bend us things to cat;
They send us good tobacco, an' we're
mighty grateful, too;
But they plumb forget a paper form
the old town down thero
Is a thing we'd never part with till
we'd read it thru- and thru."

The National War Savings Com
mittee authorizes the following:
An index to the success of the
June war savings campaign is found
in the fact that, despite the heavy
reserve supply of war savings stamps
accumulated in banks and post of
fices thruout the 6ountry in prepara
tion for the campaign, the further
requisitions upon the Bureau of En
graving at Washington were so
heavy as to exhaust the supply of
war savings and thrift stamps there.
At one time last week the Bureau of
Engraving was forced temporarily
to cease entirely the production of
postage 'stamps and to concentrate
exclusively on the production of war
savings stamps.
Every hour brings to the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
War Savings Committoe further en
couraging reports as to the result of
the June campaign. Among the
States claiming success are Alabama,
Arizona, California (North), Cali
fornia (South), Colorado, Connecti

Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma,

Senator Shields on Suffrage.
My Dear Senator: I feel so deep
ly the possibilities latent in the vote
which is presently to be taken by the
Senate, on the suffrage amendment
that I am going to , take a liberty
which, in ordinary circumstances, 1
should not feel justified in taking,
and ask you very frankly if it will
not be possible for you to vote for
the amendment.
I feel that much of the morale of
this country and of the world, and
not a little of the faith which the
rest of the world will repose in our
sincere adherence to democratic prin
ciples, will depend upon the action
which the Senate takes in this now
critically important matter. If it
were merely a domestic question, or
if the times were normal, I would
not feel that I could make a direct
request of this sort, but the times
are so far from normal, the fortunes
of nations are so linked together,
the reactions upon the thought of
the world are so sharp and involve
such momentous issues, that .J. know
that you will indulge my unusual
course of action and permit me to
beg very earnestly that you will lend
your aid in clearing atay the diffl
culties which will undoubtedly beset
us if the amendment is not adopted
With much respect,- sincerely
yours, WOODROW WILSON.
SENATOR SHIEL'S REPLY.
My Dear Mr. President: Your val
ued letter, concerning the joint reso
lution proposing an amendment to
the Federal Constitution favoring
equal suffrage, now pending in the
United States Senate, has challenged
my most thoughtful consideration, as
do all your views upon public mat
ters.1 .
The resolution involves ' funda
mental questions affecting the sov
ereignty and powers of the Federal
and State governments most im
portant and vital to the people of
the State which I have the honor in
part to represent in the United States
Senate and those of States with
which they are closely allied in all
social, economical and governmental
interests,' upon which I have most
profound convictions unfavorable to
it, known and, I believe, approved
by the great majority of the people
of. Tennessee arrived at after full
consideration of conditions existing
when I voted against! a similar one
some years ago and those now con
fronting our country.
The reasons for my conclusions
are ithose controlling tho majority of
my colleagues from the Southern
States, well known to you and which
would not be interesting to here re
state. ' , , . .
If I could bring myself to believe
that the adoption of the resolution
would contribute to the successful
prosecution of the war we are wag
ing with Germany I would unhesi
tatingly 'vote for it, because my
whole heart and soul is involved in
bringing it to a victorious issue, and
I am willing to sacrifice everything
save the honor and freedom of our
country in aiding you to accomplish
that end, but I have been unable to
do so. "
We cannot reasonably expect the
proposed amendment to be ratified
within less than two years, and the
discussion of it would unquestion
ably divert the minds and energies
of the people from the one great ab
sorbing subject before us the win
ning of the war by involving those
at many States in a most bitter con
troversy, contrary to our earnest de
sire for that unity of thought and
action of the American people now
so imperatively required!
These are my sincere convictions,
but out of my very high respect for
your views I will continue to give
your suggestions my most thought
ful and earnest consideration.
With the highest respect, I am,
sincerely yours,
JOHN K. SHIELDS.
PRESIDENT'S SECOND LETTER.
My Dear Senator: Thank you
very sincerely for your frank letter
of yesterday about the suffrage
amendment. I realize the weight of
the arguments that have controlled
your attitude in this matter, and
I would not have written as I did if
I had not thought that the passage
of the amendment at this time was
an essential psychological element in
the conduct of the war for democ
racy. 1 am led by a single sentence
in your letter, therefore, to write to
say that I do earnestly believe that
our action upon this amendment will
have an important and immediate
influence upon the whole atmosphere
and morale of the nations engaged in
the war, and every day I am coming
to see how supremely important that
side of the whole thing is. We can
win if we have the will to win. '
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

Great little Annihiiators.
Having until the past few days
scoffed at the idea that there were
enough American troops in Europe to
deserve anything but derision and
contempt from the Germans, the Ger
man agencies which supply informa
tion for the uniformed have now
changed tactics and while admitting
that there are many Americans on
the battlefront, are reporting regu
larly their "annihilation."
The semi-official Wolff Agency, as
usual, is the leader in this lying,
Two or three days ago it sent forth
the news that the Americans in one
engagement had been slaughtered by
the hundreds of thousands, and when
this was received even by the gulli
ble as too exaggerated for credibil
ity it followed with a correction,
averring that it had meant tens of
thousands instead of hundreds of
thousands. Since then it has con
tinued assiduously the work of anni
hilation. Thug on Wednesday this
Agency of Me and Beelzebub, re;
porting . the fighting on Clignon
Brook," near Cnateau Thierry,
"wherein various villages repeatedly
changed hands, ultimately remain
ing in German hands" (the fact be
ing that there are now in those vil
lages no Germans except dead Ger
mans) said "it was particularly the
Americans who bled most heavily.
Heretofore the Americans only have
fought together with white French.
The result of their present mixture
with white men and blacks was that
the Americans suffered literally an
nihilation losses in our fire. At
many points mountains of American
corpses towered before our lines."
Another chapter in the Agency's
"annihilation" serial was thus
added:
"During the useless enemy at
tacks, on the 20th, at Ploisy, the
backward flowing enemy masses,
among which were particularly
Americans, were seized by our con
centric annihilation fire which clean
ed up amongst the enemy."
This is the sort of "news" the Kai
ser's Agency is supplying, especially
for home consumption. Having long
told the people that thero were vir
tually no Americans In France and
that it would be impossible to get
them there, and the German war cor
respondents having reported that
there are many Americans partici
pating in Foch's counter stroke, Ber
lin is now busy announcing the an
nihilation of those Americans, cal
lous to the inevitability that as it
was impossible to conceal that there
are formidable forces of Americans!
on the French battlefields it will be
equally impossible to conceal that
the real annihilating which the Teu
tons have been doing is annihilating
the distance - between the pursuing
Americans and safer ground back
homeward. Louisville Courier-Jour
