The American government is not averse to this, if conditions warrant, but both the British and French governments are opposed to it. It would develop the fear that, if Japan got into Siberia, which would not be difficult, it would give rise to another question which would have to be settled after the war. "When.

The Soldier and His Family. By Sophie Irene Loeb. Jn answer to "The Married Man Who Would Be a Soldier" in these columns a few days ago comes the following letter from a soldier asking for a suggestion in a case quilt: opposite. In the previous article a woman deplored the, fact that, her husband was despondent because he could not go to war on account of his dependent family. I suggested that the husband in such a cas had- much to do right here, even as much as at the front.

This soldier seemingly wishes that he could stay at home to care for his family. "I am a married man with a wife nnd baby," he says. "My wife Is just twenty --very young, you'll admit. I am eight years her senior. Our boy is seven months old.

In our eighteen months of wedded bliss it has been my misfortune to spend only about twelve months with my family--or rather my wife, and four with my son. Not very comforting, is it. considering that I love them as Intensely as is possible for a man to love? To add to our struggles comes the world war calling me to the colors. "My wife and son are now in New York living under conditions that are anything but pleasant. As a suggestion I might add that the relatives with whom she is living are natives of and partial in their sentiment to Germany.

It is easy to suggest that she change her residence. But why should she be put to all the inconveniences of moving about with a baby from place to place depending In a measure on the sympathies and charity of others to quarter her when I have pledged to love, honor and protect "I would gladly and smilingly face a firing squad were I assured that it would benefit the welfare of my wife and baby. But knowing that my absence is a source of constant -worry and grief to my wife, I feel a corresponding depression of spirit. "Well, why not get out? There's the hitch!

The difference between my pay in civil life and my army pay is being paid to my wife.

"A quitter or a squirmer? Never! I'll be shot first! But I just wish to enter plea in behalf of my silent partner. Three years' honorable and faithful service in the 'regulars' and three more in the 'guard' should count in my favor in a case like this. "As you so truly stated, 'There arn many, many things man can do to aid his country and stay nt home, in your reply to 'Mrs. Did her husband feel the affection toward her that I feel for my wife he would show no anxiety at being deprived of the opportunity to get a crack at the Boches." My dear soldier, there Is one thing that both you and your wife and many olhers overlook in this great struggle. It is this: There is something bigger to considered than the.

sorrows nnd Buf- ferings of you or me or any individual. The very protection that you would irive your wife by being at home with her is in jeopardy. You are fighting for that protection of the wife you cherish. If your forefathers had not made it possible their sncrlfices for you lo live, a and in freedom as you do now. think what might have been your condition.

Ko that your very birthright makes it imperative that you uphold those principles which wore made for your benefit. In a word you are helping to pay now for Hie great privilege that has been yours ond also preserving- that privilege for your child and his children. To sum up, the cry of tho human is as nothing compared to the cry of humarMU. Your wifn should leave her relatives if she is unhappy.
