I have been reading the March
American Magazine, and there are
1 several articles in that number which
I wish every one could have the op-|
;
pcrtunily of reading. The one on
'*v\hy We Come Smiling Out of Hell/'
by Private Teat, as he calls himself, I.
is particularly interesting at this i
time. Then Surgeon General f'orgas'
has some very interesting facts a~o-:t j
the dangers and the casualties and j
the death rate in this great world!
war. and he says the health of the j
; f soldiers is good, and one thing that i
i struck me is the statement that there

France. I had heard to the con- j
i trary. nut tben he should know. But j
! in this article I want to quote from j
Private Peat. He writes on what ho j
calls. "Why We Come Smiling Out J
of Hell."
?o?
The opening paragraph of this, ar- !
ticle is: "One thing that has been j
said about me seems to surprise people:
It is said that I have been 'two {
years in hell' and 'am back with a j
smile.'" He says he is not the only i
fellow that does it. There are hun- !
dreds of thousands of them doing it (
today. And they are smiling not "be-1
cause "we have got out of hell, but j
because we have been there. It is 1
the fellow who doesn't go who won't;
be .smiling much." "If you had taken j
the highest oDportunity life ever he'd i
out to a man, wouldn't you smile If j
you had gone down into hell for the j
sake of peonle who were there al- {
ready, wouldn't you ccme back?:? j
you were lucky enoush to get back j
?with a smile?" "Talk about find-j
^pg yourself. We find more than our- j
selves. We find God. You wouldn't:.
think so if you heard some of us talk- !
ong. The language of the trenchcs j
isn t fit to print. Men who never
swore in their lives curse till the air
!s blue. Pray? T never knew but !

God understands. They have become j j
as little children and all responsibil- j 1
ity is gone except such as belongs to ! j
a child who trusts. There is a new .
religion and it is practical and'
straightforward and honest. He be- j
lieves there are worse things than; i
i 1
war in the world. It is bitter hard t.o j
send your son away to fight, but it..
is going to give him a post-graduate
course in the very things you have 1,
tried to teach him and maybe when .
you understand that it won't be so ,
hard. The things that you tried to ( (
teach him are courage, and loyalty, i
obedience, self-sacrifice, honesty, and ,
trust in God?and these are the
; things he will learn in the trenches.!
?0?
To show how the fellow feeling
i and kindly sympathy are supreme ;
among the men, he relates an inci- J
11 dent which he says is the most ten-! <
der and gentle thing he ever saw a S (
soldier do. And he might have ad- ',
1 ded any one else. "After the first j
gas attack at Ypres, in April'. 1915, I' (
was knocked out for a while and
was in the clearing station at Mer-',
! ville. One day when I was lying j
there on a stretcher a poor miserable 1 ,
soldier came in. He was covered with < (
mud and blood. He was minus his , ,
overcoat and his tunic was torn by ,
shrapnel. He was soaked to the .
bone, for it was raining, and he was > (
shivering with cold and pain. The
: nurse hurried to him and asked him <
what had become of his overcoat, j 7
"Oh," he said, his teeth chattering, j (
"my pal was killed back there, and {
he looked so cold, lying there in the ^
rain, T took off my coat and put it .
over him." 1

crite. And for those who get out j
will prove a wonderful school, a great
post-graduate university. And lots j
of 'em are coming back to us. And j
it won't be so long before they corns.
I
?o?
But another point 1 want to make j
is, that if the boys over there can j
make the sacrifice they are making.;

and with it all bo unselfish j
and generous as that fellow 4vas who i
covered the body of his pal with hi1? j
overcoat because he looked so cold j
and went shivering and bleeding and j
muddy himself, can't we do more and i
sacrifice more and do it with less
complaining and a more cheerful
spirit. Yes, and the first thino;'that
we should do is to send the profiteers
and bia: salaried and bomn nroof
fellows who are living in the lap ef
luxury and sending out appeals to us,
poor devils who are already suffering,
to save and buy thrlit stamp*?
yes, send these fellows to the stockade
and make them work and stint
a little themselves. Did you read the
testimony in the investigation of the
graft at Hoy; Island? And by the
way, it is properly named if what 5s
true that has been said of the way
they did. Paving men $24,000 a voar
and a bonus of six thousand. Twica
what they received from the corporations
for the same job. And to do j
nothing. Not much patriotism in
that sort of grafting, and not much
sacrifice. Yet the government permits
it and then pays a lot of stenographers
and clerks to send out liter- ji
ature?that's what they call it?but!
not much literature to it, to tell us j
poor devils who scarcely have corr. ||

Dreaa ana nacon, tnat we must con-!]
serve and save and buy thrift stamps |i
and liberty bonds in order to win thejj
war. It seems to me that we are j
saving that these fellows may harp
big pay and get rich on our savlil5
If it' went to help our boys, or ?.o
make them more comfortable, all o?
us would do the thing with a great
deal more grace and pleasure. But
to help the government permit such i
stealing it does not go down well.
Phe government ought to send these ,
profiteers down to hell a while, ard
maybe they would come back smiling
a different sort of smile?provided
they got back.
?o?
But as Private Peat says, the war
has taught us and will teach us ~
broader vision of things, and will
?ive us the elbow touch with the nations
of the world, and when we get
through there will be a broader an3
f* deerter sympathy among the nations
of earth. It will teach us love

trust in God, and maybe will not bs
