DON'T WORRY

"Don't Worry About Your Boy" is the heading given by the Chicago "Tribune" to an editorial it quotes from the Galesburg (111.) "Mail," in which warning is issued against the false impression that enlistment or conscription means the probable death of the soldier in battle. As a matter of fact-,- the death-rate in the Allied Army on the Western front is only about four times that of men of the same ago in civil life. The "Mail" avers, arid reminds usj that there aro many occupations of peace which are no les3 hazardous than tho occupation of making war, so — "Don't worry about s you son, your brother or your sweetheart who is in the Army. He may perhaps be killed or hurt, but there are 96 chances out of 100 that ho will como back to you— and in the great maority of cases he will be better physically, mentally, and morally for his experience."

The Cincinnati "Post" tells us of the Dallas father who said, in reply to the question, "Why should we send our hoys to fight in a foreign land?" that he would rather have his sou 'go to heaven in France than go to hell in America." Tha "Post" commends him heartily, and says that if Germany should win the war in France, "she will use little time in transporting Tier own peculiar variety of hell to America."
