one of the important days of my
career; in that hour I go from my.
country's service back into the com-
petition of the labor market to earn.
a living, to pick up the broken thread
of my former connection., to realize a
dream that - has always been before
me-sa little home with a wife and
kiddies and a fireplace But somehow
a strange thought sticks in my mind;
I may be selfiish to•think in sech a
channel and I may be unpatriotic, yet
the idea remains with. me. I even
laid awake some nights thinkir
it. This is the thought.
What have I received for inT two
years of service, and how do I com-
pare with Bill Jones, my oldpal who
didn't go to war?

Of course when I come ,home wit

the good people will cosine out to wel-

heroes and other nice names. When
we left -home, it would have been a
delightful- thing to have been called

ing. to war 141, were ignorant, of
what war really was. To -morrow,
when we go home, there will be no

know then. What an awful thing modern
war is and that we acted only aS

I have had for the lest several years,
only without the severe hardslhips

enable me to realize my dream of a'
home ofmy!own.
But that idea is also out of the
question. It takes a little capital to
go out into a wilderness and build a
home; takes- a little money to tide

most, the ne n who went to war or the
man who stayed at home?
Perhaps I Ihave earned the gratitude
of my fellov.Lmen, which is something
to a man. But that commendation
will cost me very .dearly unless.- un-
less my co try is willing to putme
back on a s und, .self-sustaining basis
again, unless my country is willing to
make a place for such men as me. As
the matter stands, I must take my
chances in the labor market with a
very great handicap -a ambled phys-

country just the same as' will Bill

enough Liberty Bonds invested to pay

I have given tvvo.years of my youth

have broken off my career to ger to
the -rescue of the nation. That is
very littlecompared to what some
men have given. It is not what I
have done that matters; it is what
lies before Me that I fear I cannot do.
It is an easy matter to go to wara-but
it is not so' easy to come back.
