Description

The Ex-Service Men: A Bangor minister, in asking his congregation to contribute to a European relief fund, recently, referred to a cartoon in the "Literary Digest." He said, "That cartoon is expressive of America's generosity; it shows a freight train; one car is labeled 'Millions for the relief of something in Europe,' another, 'Millions for the relief of something else in Europe,' and so on to the end of the long train." Insofar as he told of the cartoon he was perfectly correct, but he did not explain it all. In the foreground, watching the train, is an American soldier on crutches. He wears three gold stripes on his left sleeve eighteen months overseas. A placard explains the figure: "Discharged from hospital, unfit for work and without pay." Yes, the cartoon expresses America's attitude. The people of this country seem perfectly willing, not to say eager, to give money for the relief of Europe; but they do not seem to be willing to loan money for the aid of their own fighting men.
