K. uses the term "fact of evolution" proves that he, along with many ethers wrongly taught, accepts as a fact a hypetnesin mat inesc uci in formed knew has never been proved and, se far as can yet be seen, cannot be, because it new seems mere likely that truth lies in another direction. We have heard for years' et the "missing link," nnd the common as sumption of the shallow thinkers nnd these who uccept their teachings is thnt only one link is missing. The fact is l.n- nil KiiVu nre missing. Of COUrfiC. if one link could be found it would be positive proof that ether links were net impossible, but until that time the wi-e man will simply remember that the claims for evolution ure net proved and net accordingly. ,, Darwin himself termed it "n thceiy." ai properly stated by IN . HenncsF.v. and bewailed the acceptance of his theory for a statement of fact as the act of "immnture minds drnwing unwarranted conclusions." If W. K. will but go back some years and see what the wise things then taught ns facts new in the niscard. The nebular hypothesis of Laplace is no longer held; Nuwten held the emission theory of light nnd nbnu nbnu dened it en evidence thnt te many u'ems insufficient. When the medi1 of motion theory became pretty generally accepted Mme. Curie found radium and proved emissions te exist. Un top of this come these who show un that light can be attracted, .vhich 1 pretty geed proof thnt it contains mass, while most of us knew that waves move forward, leaving the waving matter in the siime place, but the light drives thc tall of a comet from the tun. Most of uh believed the teachings that -the Fun by giving out bent had te be shrinking in size te main tain Its temperature, but nowadays It is admitted that this explanation docs net explain. , ... , "Wiser thnn the professors' piffle und teachers' twaddle is Jofh Hillings' ud vlce that "It is better net te knew se much than te knew se much that is net he " There ure plenty opportunities for gaining real knowledge of daily uje and value, se our teachers would de better te touch these things and leave thc theories nienc until the undents rench an uge where they win judge of their value for t1ieinelven.

DOROTHi FENTON HALL. Collingswood, N. J March 20, 1022. Views en tlte Benus Wante Beya te Get Thelra Te th4 Editor of the Evening Public Ledger: Sir It was, indeed, mere than amusing te me te read thc letter from Geerge T. Arneld in n recent issue of the Kvenike Ponue Ledeeii. well, as te these foreign countries being nt a standstill, when the teldrcrs returned they wcre net in any werse1 shape than this, country, and every one of them capable of resuming their pre-war work was given it. Their jobs were net given te ethers, after they wcre told they would be kept open for them. Net se here, as a geed many can testify. As te the insurant the soldiers 5ad te pay for that out of their pay. I my self paid 87.00 per month ec of my wages, and what did I get? Simply nothing, although I did get wounded, which left me a bad arm from which I haTO suffered for weeks nt n time. Of ceurse, I have my own doctor's bill te pay. As te being highly entertained I never saw it, and I had the plcasure of being in five camps en this side. I de net doubt the people at home did censerve and deny themselves things thinking the boys were receiving them, but did they? My answer te that Is no. One instance I will quote, nnd that is in regard te thc money that was raised te buy candy for "the boys." Hew many of the boys can say they get any of it? Ne, it could be sold in tbe army stores here, after the armistice was signed, and a short time age thcre were tens of chocolate consigned te thc dump nt the navy ynrd. Iii none of the camps did I ever have sugar in coffee and in some net even milk. I think Mr. Arneld was ene of the camp loungers himself, and is beginning te feel that be is mere or less et a slacker. I wns allowed disability en discharge and tried te get it by corresponding with Washington for mero than u year, when I get se disgusted I gave it up as a bad case. I am net for the bonus for myself, for I am one of the few lucky ones that get my position back and de net need it. However, thcre are hun dreds, probably thousands, of ex-berv-ice men wulking the streets today In need of some assistance, nnd I only hope the Government will sec their way te provide them with a substantial bonus. These foreign Governments gave their men the bonus freely, and they will honor their Government mere thnn these who hnd te fight for it. Se here's hoping "the boys" will get thc bonus seen. T. J. CLARKE. Philadelphia, March 20. 1022. But for the Armlitice What? re the Editor of the Evening Publia Ledutr: Sir I take this liberty of writing n few words en the bonus bill, that bill which the wealthy, the rich men's clubs nud the newspapers nre lighting. It wus costing the United Stales $1,000, 000 un hour te conduct the war. The armUtice was signed November 11. A powerful drive wns planned for the spring which the urmisticu prevented. This drive was te take place say 130 days after November 11. At the rate J of $1,000,000 a hour for 130 duys you iiuvu fie,j.i:u,uuu,iiuii, unu tue war prob ably would net have been ever then. There would have been thousands mere killed and wounded und you prob preb nbly would have found among them some who are new lighting this bill. If we lest 100,000 killed In this drive, at $10, 000 insurance per man, you would have another billion and mere misery and saddened homes than you could think possible. The boys en the ether bide worked seven days a week. They knew net what purt of the twenty-four hours of each were their own. They slept where they could nnd nte what was ra tioned out te them, und they could net complain. They could net afford te buv Liberty bends nt a 4 per cent in- vestment. When they met the enemy I they did net lllncb, and they mude America sale irem uny tereign invasion. Can this republic huve the heart te turn down a bonus for its own men after lending Americun dollars te pay bonuses te the men who fought in Ku- repean armies.' t;. !..
