But her mother’s heart had been wounded—and she couldn't control her emotions. She wept. And a thousand other mothers in Seattle are weeping—and wondering why their boys, now that the war is over, aren't coming home to them. “He was only a youngster,” she said. “He was one of the first to enlist.

Is it for that the flower of our youth— our picked men—have been taken from their homes, from their work, from their associates? To dig ditches in a foreign land at soldiers’ pay to build roads? _ .“We don’t know whether to believe the war is over or not,” writes Private Nevite, this Seattle boy, to his mother, Mrs. H. Lund, 211 East Republican st. “I just came in now from working in the rain and mud, and I thought I would write home and let you know how they are using us over here. We came over to win the war. I would sooner be up fighting the Germans than doing what I am now, for we are just building roads for the French. I always thought I would hold it all to myself about what is going on over here, but I guess I might as well tell it now as later.” Small wonder the boy’s resolve “to hold it all to himself” failed. He went over there to fight for Uncle Sam— not to slave for France at $30 a month. He went over there with high ideals, head aloft, sturdy of step, proud. Today, he has lost the buoyancy of youth. He feels—and who shall deny it?—that he is being profiteered upon. Young Nevite’s case is but one of thousands. They went—willingly—when the country needed them. Today the country does NOT need them.

Rus- stan Bolsheviki have been asked to start an invasion to insure the | revolution’s success.
