A friend ui. near the mountains asks why I hr.ven't written to the Sentinel again;well friend it is sim ply this,---The world is at war; our people are called upon to give their time, their money, their live.,, the editor is giving space, patriotic peo. ple are buying space in which to bring before the people the ever urg ent needs of their country, then would it not be unpatriotic to ask the editor for space for such stuff as Uncle Oscar's letters? But listen! Two little children started my think er working. One, a little boy,stop id his play long enough to .isk: "Uncle Oscar, Why don't you write mother letter?" Then I began to hink. With all the thrilling war sto 'ies that are filling our newspapers 1md magazines today, filling them .0 the extent of almost crowdinlg >ut eve.rythiing else, why should a 'hild ask for anything else? .\nd vhile I was trying to solve this prob em a little girl in the good town of ilev was taking turns with two ither little friends at swinuginug it a 'ome swing at the gate. 'It's m.i ime next," lioited thiv little girl. -'s was pas5sinmg. "No, it's Imly ti;e." aid I. The little girl stopped, looked it 6' thoughtfully and replied, "No. ol haid your time long, long ago. mtud this solved my problem. Yes we dlder ones have had our i timeic of 'hilhoorl, our time of fairy days hen we loved and trusted everybruly ond now we : re grown up and we fill vser'y available space with stories of var a11nd pictures of m'n turned inito lemons an(d slashing at each other': hroats and we are robbing the chil Iren of the quiet hour where simple tories of love and peace were told vhich have so much to do with the nstalling of principles of humanity .iml brotherly love in the hearts of he young. Yes, we older ones had our time ong ago, our time of care-free (lays, ur time of laughter and sunshine, >ur time of life's morning when hab ts were formed, when purposes and >assions were indelibly fixed by en rironments in childhood. Now we lave grown up and it is we who shall mlpart to the younger ones, by the mnvironments which we place around' .hem, the ideas, aims and purposes, )f life. Shall it be th.t of conquest, >f bloody battlefields, of broken varts and weeping eyes. Alas 'such :hings must be; for the cause of lib rty and right but should we not .ive to the childish min(s something to feed upon beside war, war, war. If we hold before the childs eyes nothing but pictures and stories of Larnage of dying men, starving wo men and children and of everlasting hatred one for another then how cita we hope to build up a world peace from children thus taught. Then let us not; infect the spring of youth with the policy of right by might but rather right by righteousness. We are in this war for a rightful cause an11d every true American should and will stand loyally under our flag till every drop of blood is shed, if need be, but I don't think that every pa per and magazine should be filledl to the overflowing with stories con -trained to imla~nt in the hearts of sur young people everlasting hatred or any people. Yes, little girl, I had my time long mgo andl I am ready now to ustand by ny~ country whatever the cost, but vould to God it wa-i in my:. power to oIve to you and oth'er younsg minds omething rrore -.at the horrible tench of war,~'' :-orjr:.r~g f the: gen Ier :md' :r.'r'; C'r:, re:r purpos': if If.rr.:le O)s:ar.

"No, they warmed themselves or the mountain ranges." i."I'd like to beI there!".I OU have said it-as you have Ulooked at some vivid picture or read some stirring account of our boysi fighting with American courage and U self- sacrifice. I f you cannot go out to them, you can fight for them, over here. Smash open the way for them with howitzers and big guns. Send them am-' munition, tanks, airplanes, rifles, cloth- = ing, food. Help to keep them victorious. You can lend as fearlessly, as unself ishly, as they fight. That is your job as a part of our war machine.I OFCOURSE you would "like to be there."
