On thc back page of a very large Il

(illustrated), which was mailed te all
United States Consuls , and ffc'S"

Burprise the check was returned by
Mr. Robins withnn accompanying let

"Fact of Evolution" a Misnomer
Te the Editor of the Evening PulHc Ledger:
Sir That W. 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. C. I... !-.

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;. !.. L
