"X got hurted. I got a claim,'
said the visitor.
"Compensation bureau; Masonic
Temple; out that door and daw* to

THE PEOPLE'S
AS TO FAIR PLAY
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
I am extremely glad to note that
in the controversy which has been
running in The People's Forum, the
Telegraph gives space to all opin
ions and to all sides of the ques
tion. In a recent issue of "Every
Week" its brilliant editor took as an
editorial subject that of "Tolerance"
and endeavored to show that prac
tically all religious groups or sects
or ways of thinking have some right
on their side, perhaps some much
mere than others, but that notie
should be condemned because they
are poor or weak, or because their
beliefs and methods seem new and
radical.
The gentleman of Thursday'! is
sue who signs himself "Citizen" is
simply one of the great majority of
adverse critics of Christian Sciunce
—those who have not taken the
trouble to inform themselves fully
on the subject. lam not a Chrlat
ian Scientist; I do not go to their
church,, nor, I must admit, do 1 go
to any other. But I have many rel
atives and friends who are Christian
Scientists, and most of them have
had healings of all kinds of ail
ments, organic and functional. lam
also in a position to know how ma*iy
of these people live and now the
church is helping win the war, and
I know that practically everyone of
them is observing meatless and
wheatless days and other economies,
and giving.freely of time and money
in war work. Many of them knit
for the Ked Cross, and the reason
some object to giving money to it is
because some of this money has been
misappropriated, and the officials of
the Red Cross admit it. There are
many people who believe in vivisec
tion. I myself think that perhaps
it does some good, and if the ani
mals are properly anaesthetized and
properly cared for afterward, it does
no ha* .. I am such a dog lover
that I can hardly conceive of any
one's practising cruelty on what has
so often and so truly been called
"man's best friend." However, Ido
nut think that the time to experi
ment is now, nor the place for these
laboratories is Paris, nor that the
money for such a use should be col
lected from door to door for the
"Red Cross." I doubt very much
that the 100,000 people who each
gave their dollar to make up that
SIOO,OOO that has been appropriated
to equip this laboratory, would have
given it had they known where it
was going. This incident is abso
lutely the only objection the Chris
tian Scientists have to the Red Cross.
Early in the war they were strong
in their support of it, and the local
church was, as far as I know, the
tlr.->t church in Hurrisburg to collect
SIOO and donate it to the Red Cross
in the name of the church. Now, I
believe many of the members send
their contributions through the War
Relief Fund, as I do myself, and this
is an organization in Boston which
does its work principally in Armenia
and other places behind the lines.
These countries are farther away
than France, but the need is just as
great and the money does as much
?ood as on the battlefields. And in
cidentally, I think it would bo a
good thing if more publicity were
given to the activities of the Red
Cross in Xoreign countries. I never
saw any"account of its work until
the little Red Cross newspaper was
published, and I was amazed und
delighted at the variety and magni
tude of the work that is being ac
complished.
There is Just one other misunder
standing that was not given enough
publicity in the papers, and that I
would like to correct. This is in re
gard to the Halifax disaster. There
was somQ trouble in getting trains
started to Halifax after the explo
sion. and the first train that did got
started, and the only one that got
there for some tipie, was a train
chartered and equipped by the
Christian Scientist* of Boston. On
account of the trouble with the
other trains, the doctors and nurses
who wanted to get to Halifax asked
the Christian Scientists to take them
along, which they gladly did. On ar
rival at Halifax, some one, on see
ing the doctors and nurses sent toy
the Red Cross, gave the credit of
the whole train to the Red Cross,
and so it has stood. I like to think
that that was through error, but it
sccnio to me that credit should be
given where credit is due, and that
the people who were merely "given
a lift" should not have the credit
for the whole train. If people in
general would know facts like these,
they would get over the idea that
Christian Scientists are biased and
selfish and only help themselves.
That train went to help everyone, as
they had word before they started
that all the Christian Scientists in
Halifax were safe. And another fact
in regard to this same disaster WHS
that the Mother Church in Boston,
on the Sunday after the explosion,
took up an impromptu collection, in
addition to the regular collection,
and over four thousand dollars was
collected and promptly put to work
for relief of all kinds in Halifax.
I very much hope that this letter
will also And Its way to the People's
l'orum. In order to correct u few
wrong impressions. The people who
collect for the Red Cross are doing
a fine work, which everyone will ad
mit, but they should not be too ready
to think people are heartless cr
traitors until they know the facts
in the case, as these people may be
contributing far more in a quiet way
than if they handed out their Red
Cross dollar and got their names in
the paper. Ido not care to pet into
any personal arguments by signing
my name, and so will just put fny
self down as another
CITIZEN.
SHALL WE SEND SMOKES
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
It is high time that Uncle Sam
asks what can be done to put a 6top
to the grossly wicked advertisements
of the American tobacco industry,
appearing in many newspapers as
editorials, urging the sending of to
bacco and cigarets to our soldier
boys. Boys who never smoked are
being shamed into It. One offlcer
has already complained that men
under him are being unfitted by cig
arets for the duties of war. He
speaks of the necesity of steadv
heads, strong hearts, and unpoisoned
muscles. It is already whispered
that we may lose In the present war
if tobacco cannot be kept from our
men. It is a deadlier weapon than
German steel. The cigaret will leave
the bones of thousands of our "gal
lant boys upon the foreign shores.
Already protests have been sent to
Secretaries Daniels and Baker.
We are putting into the field,
morally and physically, the purest
great army the world has ever seen.
But these men are endowed with all
the passions of men. It has long
been known that the cigaret tends
to efface the moral sense, and the
sense of responsibility: that it
soothes the police nerves, and lets
the anarchist nerves unfettered.
With the restraints of conscience
crippled, and with the stronger
American power of initiative, the
naturally expected result would be
that from the present standards of
purity our armies will descend to
the depths of licentious corruption
and abnormal atrocities, and that
many who come back will be mor
ally unfit to associate with their
mothers and sisters and sweethearts.
After any great battle men will be
found dead from heart-shock or
cer-exertion, and the stress of ex
citement. This is the normally ex
pected fruit of cigaret smoking.
Mental confusion when clearness is
demanded will lose many a battle.
The use of tobacco in any form un
fits a man for modern warfare, and
the cigaret vice is the consummate
c imax of tho dissipation*of war en
ergies.
Any newspaper that accepts aJ
vertislng matter from the tobacco
interests, endeavoring to mislead
kind-hearted people to send smok's
to the boys, is potentially pro-Ger
man in that it menaces the power
and effectiveness of our armies It
should be given to understand tht
it is disloyal, giving aid to the ene
my by advocating what must de
stroy the physical and moral fitness
of our men. An editor who pub
lishes such matter should be restrain
ed by the strong arm of the law
i\ot unlikely some unthinking per
son started the thing out of pure
heart-kindness, but it is not kind
nor loyal to give the men what will
destroy them and defeat our armies
and the enemy knows that tobacco
v.iu weaken our fighting power.
Besides the degrading of the
r.erve, the heart, the digestive func
tions, beside the debasing of the fac
ulties and the morals, and the crip
pling of the powers of endurance
the uso of cigarets creates a weak
ness toward pneumonia with the
probabilities against recovery. Con
sidering the exposure of our armies
this If very serious.
It has become a matter of public
knowledge that the smoke "ediUr
ials" are published at the instance
of in American tobucco com puny
These wicked hyenas caro nothing
for the men or for the Flag, but are
willing to degrade our armies or
blast the hope of the Nations for
their own pecuniary profit.' Shame!
ten thousand times—shame!— and
shame, too. upon the press; sharin"
the guilt of the betrayal! The great
ormy Is being created for the de
fence of the world's liberties, and
not for the financial exploitation of
speculators.
Where is loyalty to the Flag and
to our glorious boys? Again wo say
shame!
Tlie public should see to It not
cnlv that these tobacco venders be
frustrated In their diabolical enter,
prise, but that they be branded as
traitors to our country <n its time of
iveed.
Just now, when the sptrit of the
country is a spirit of sacrifice for
the boys we love, these vampires
would bleed from them their health
their manhood, and their power for
victory, and leave this Nation to the!
tender mercies of the Kaiser! We
should show no mercy to these prop
agandists. Any newspaper that 01-l
lows Itself to be used for tho deter
ioration of our armies should be
superseded by a pro-American rival,
and every red-blooded man who has
regard for his own kin In the
tienches should exert himself to >:ee
that it is so superseded.
