Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN CONSCRIPTION OF THE YOUNG MEN OF THIS HOUSEHOLD BRINGS SADNESS. Dear Sir: Today I have' been reading your speech of June 23rd, and f was truly glad to see that you were not afraid to say what was right. These are awful days. I have tried often to get a. petition,, drawn up, signed and sent to Congress, but no, they could not believe it would be so bad. Still 1 am told that I must not talk so plain, its treason. Wb had as well be dead, as to have our children and grandchildren sent away to be killed for nothing, and there is a lot Os manhood that is ris ing to the Consequence. If this Con script Act is put in force, there will be fighting all over this land. Now I want to tell you of our condition. My husband is seventy-six years old, a Confederate Veteran, was in Fort Delaware a prisoner sor 1 ten months, and has been suffering from a cancer for three years. We have five sons, the eldest lives near, and rents our land for himself and the boys. His two children, one twenty-three and the other twenty-one years of age. Now what are we to do? Negro labor is not reliable and we are not able to work; I am in hopes that you may live many years to tell the truth through your papers. I am anxious to know what you say do, and what about Hardwick, do you suppose that he is only for politics in his speeches? In conclusion I wish to tell you that my husband and I are with you in your trials and struggles for the right. ,We hope for the best, and trust the Lord will bless us. What must we do? We will help all we can. T have a little money and wilt help all I can. Your friends and admirers, MR. and Mas. W/H. Ga. THE FOOTKJSSERS CAPTURED THE RED CROSS. Dear Sir: * I have been reading ; your Magazine concerning Roman,' , Catholicism and the “Mock” triasL they gave you on the charge of oil scene literature through the mails. There-has riot been a more gigantic fraud perpetrated on humanity ex cept the trial of Jesus Christ before Pontius Pilate. Brit tt?H is not what I started to ask you. You know for the last month of so the Red Cross people have gone from the Lakes to the Gulf to get up funds as they say for the benefit of our wounded soldiers on foreign fields. Now, this is what I want to know. When and by whom was this thing organized? Are these funds in any way controlled by the U. S. Govern ment? Wishing you abundant success, allow me to subscribe myself as one of your friends. Tenn. C. F. CASTEEL. • ? (Answer.) Th er Red Cross was a Protestant nurse-organization begun by Clara' Barton. It has been captured by the Pap ists, and its “field-commander” is now John D. Ryan, one of the Mon tana-Wall Street Copper Kings', and a Papist of the Knight of Columbus stripe. T. E.
