HOW THEY FIGHT SMITH IN THE
SOUTH
We have received from Col. W. T.
Gregory, of North Carolina, an old
friend of The Mail and Empire, quite
the most curious paper that has come
our way in a long time, probably in-
deed since the days when we were an
enthusiastic reader of Carrie Nation's
"The Smasher's Mail." It is "The
Fellowship Forum,' published in
Washington, and is probably the or-
gan of the Ku Klux Klan. It claims
a million readers, and is devoted to
the task of defeating Governor Smith
for President. At the top of page
one it announces in black type:
"A vote for Al Smith
"Is a Vote
"For the Pope."
The rest of the contents is in the
same vein. A four column front page
cartoon shows a group composed of
Allenism, the Pope, the Wet Crowd,
Al Smith and the Tammany Tiger.
All are horrible caricatures, that of
the Pope being the worst. His Holi-
ness is saying, "There'll be glory
when the Pope moves into the White
House." A heading announces that
"South Accepts Tammany Challenge
on Rum, Rome and Political Corrup-
tion" and another "Tirades on Re-
ligion and Liquor by Smith in West
Turn votes in Disgust." The whole
of the first page is devoted to politi-
cal news, with a strong editorial slant,
the purpose being to show that th
country is seething with contempt fo
Smith and enthusiasm for Hoover.'
On nage two there is a column ad
vertisement from a doctor who offers
to send a new truss on trial, an ad
vertisement offering a free trip t
the !Holy Land, advertisements e
five "dynamic" books purporting t
reveal a Roman Catholic conspirac
to Capture the United States, and
news story to the effect that a "Pen
nsylvania priest is taxing the nun
under his charge $1 each for th
Smith campaign. The feature is
signed editorial by James S. Vance
general manager of the paper, en
titled "Protestant Americanism Ver
sus Rum and Romanism." In thi
Mr. Vance says that the one out
standing issue in the campaign i
Romanism.
He declares that his paper is no
connected with any political party
and that at does not( -seek to make
penny out of the present campaign
Every dollar turned in is' at once use
to mail more copies' of the paper t
those places where it will do the mos
good. We quote a couple of sentence
`If a real American will sit down
and do a little thinking' for himself
no politician canor will persuade him
that anything else should take pre-
cedence over his God, his Home and
his Native Land. With this Trinity
of righteousness supersededby Rum
and Romanism, America becomes a
vassal state of the Vatican and a
tink-hole of booze and corruption."
The most pleasing feature of page
hree is a cure for baldness—free.
A
news item declares that Smith's
mmigration plan "would aid 800 per
ent. Italians," whatever this means.
Page 4 is the editorial page. It con -
sins a cartoon showing Raskob with
mith in his arms essaying a water
assage to the White House on var-
ous block if ice labelled "Wet Is-
ue," "Alienism," "Southern Demo -
retic Dissent," "Tammany" and "Ro-
anism." At the masthead is the
hocking declaration of Stephen De-
atur, which used to be flaunted by
he Chicago Tribune:—
"Our country! In her intercourse
ith foreign nations may she always
e in the right; but our country right
✓ wrong!"
An editorial pleads with the readers
f the paper to keep the nation Amer -
an and expresses the fear that be -
use Smith has introduced the issues
rum and Romanism the important
em of preserving the United 'States
r the American people may be over-
oked until it is too late. The refer-
ee s to the statement that Governor
mitt favors an easier immigration
!icy, which he has denied again and
air•. There is also an appeal to the
emocrats to ignore the request that
ey remain regular and vote for the
rty nominee. There is also a letter
om a subscriber who says although
was once a slave holder he will not
to for Smith.

we cull the following gepi, whose
author, for what seem to :Rimm sufficient
reasons, does not publish his name: --
The Masons in Italy, silenced for the
time have sent
Word, the same things will happen
here if Al is President
Then Al will have a rope tied to our
throat
And we will live under a nun's petti-
coat.
Our churches will suffer and perhaps
have to stop,
And we will open saloons for serines
and other slop.
My friends think of our country so
precious and free
Then think of wet Al being ruled by
Pope and Holy See.
It hurts me to think of our fore-
fathers, the life they spent
And the way we will live if Al is
President.
Yet I think it can't happen, with
God's help we try,
For methinks I hear a voice from the
fair sex, that's Dry.
Twenty million strong, in noble wo
manhood they stand,
I know they will vote for God and na-
tive land.
And on November the sixth we will
save our land.
And on November the sixth we will
save our home

lives in Rome.
On another page is a large adver-
tisement for a book which reveals the
horrors of the Spanish Inquisition,
which is likely to be revived in more
ghastly form should the Governor of
New York become the President of
the United States. A news story tells
of a den of ill -fame beside the Capi-
tol in Albany, presided over by Smith
where white women have consorted'
with Chinamen. The rest of the
sheet, which is of ten pages, contains
similar matter. What effect its cir-
culation will have in the south, one
can only surmise. Perhaps the very
ferocity of the attacks will recoil up-
on Mr. Hoover, but it is unlikely that
the paper, except by accident, will
fall into the hands of the fair-mind-
ed. Governor Smith is a veteran
campaigner, and has received many
a hard knock in his time, but we im-
agine that the Fellowship Forum has
proved an eye-opener to him. It
achieves the limit in political brig-
andage.

DO COWARDLY SOLDIERS M iRIIT
DEATH PENALTY?
lit has been stated that of the 6,-
000,000 soldiers engaged on the side
of the Allies in the World War, 260
were shat after having been tried by
court martial and convicted of
cowardice. Would the case of the
Allies have fallen short of victory
but for.the execution of these men?
This is a question that has come to
the front in England following the
Parliamentary debate and the amend-
ments to the army rules which have
reduced the number of military' crimes
punishable by death. Hereafter in
wartime, soldiers will only be execut-
ed for mutiny, treachery, 'cowardice
or leaving a guard. There is sub-
stantial agreement that the extreme
penalty should be exacted for three
of these offences, but equal agree-
ment that cowardice should not be so
punished. It is expected that al-
though cowardice remains upon the
list of capital offences when a coun-
try is at war, there will be a good
deal of discretion in inflicting this
doom. From the fact that so few
were shot for cowardice in the World
War one gathers that the sense of
officese in the field is to show leniency
in tins respect. Officers on active see -
vice are more likely to be consider-
ate of human weaknesses than officer*
at home in cushy jobs or military ex-
ecutives who have yet to see field
service.
Can only one suppose that there
were only 260 cowards engaged upon
the side of the Allies in the last war?
Can the most patriotic Briton suppose
that there were only 260 cowardly
soldiers in the armies of the Empire?
Correct answers to these questions
would suggest that the 200 cowards
were not executed for cowardice but
for ill luck. They happened to be
cowardly when some superior saw
them. They happened to be coward-
ly when something particular was at
stake. So they were led to the rear
and shot. It has been argued, • and
it seems to us with some force, that
a man is not cowardly by choice an
more than Ire is only five feet tall
by choice. Nobody has been able to
give a uatisfactory definition of cow-
ardice. ;dere are days when a brave
man is oomotimes lodtl than 100 per

This already represents one-fifth of
the total world's produetijon,
These results have been achieved
mainly by means of the moderniza-
tion of the plants. 'The pick , and
other primitive instruments are grad-
ually, methodically being superseded
by excavators, steam trommels and
washing machines of the latest type.
This policy, coupled with the system-
atic building of 4,000+ miles of roads,
a seventy -mile narrow 'gauge rail-
way, and the use of Motor tractors,
is steadily reducing the proportion of
native labor, which has to be import:
ed from neighboring districts, as com-
pared with the output.
Last year 23,835 workers produced
roughly 1,200,000 carats, as ,against
548,000 carats produced during 1924
by 20,652 workers. So much for ma-
chinery.
The Kasai diamonds, like all allu-
vion diamonds discovered so far, are
of a small size and in this respect
the South African holds yielding large
stones still retain an unrivalled
position.
Big stones are discovered frequent-
ly in the South African diamond
fields. One of the biggest stones dug
a I up recently weighed 412 carats and
was sold at Kimberley` for 825,000.
It is the first time that a stone of
such dimensions has been found in
alluvion, diamond fields, and it is the
most important findfor a number of
years,
This particular stone was sold by
the London syndicate to an Antwerp
diamond cutter, I. Goldberg, who has
undertaken. the delicate work of cut-
ting it. When it comes back on the

of at least 850,000.

Treachery, mutiny and leaving
guard are offences in a different cat
gory. They 'imply a premeditatio
absent from displays of cowardic
and they are also regarded as th
most serious crimes a soldier ma
commit because any one of them ma
involve other soldiers, conceivably
whole battalion or army, in disaste
No matter how heartily anybody ma
condemn war, it is admitted that one
a nation is at war the soldiers mus

as this can be done. They must b
protected against
the deliberate act
of their fellows which threaten thei
lives and perhaps the whole cause. S
the soldier who plays a traitor, o
pretends to sleep on guard while th
enemy steals upon the sleeping cam
is held to merit death. Here arise
another question: What should :b
the penalty for the soldier who fall
asleep and by his drowsiness expose
his comrades to the enemy? Ther
is now general agreement that h
should not be shot because he has n
control of his actions. Utterly worn
out, the will to keep awake is con
quered by the physical necessity o
going to sleep. Why should a man be
shot for this It has been effectivel
argued that since the sleeping part
fears that he incurs the death penalty
he will not fall asleep if it is possibl
to keep awake. When he sleeps h
has surrendered to the inevitable.
In the American Civil 'War th
death sentence was imposed upon
sleeping sentries, and one incident in
Drinkwater's "Lincoln" showed the
president pardoning an unlucky lad
who had thus failed his country. In
deed, Lincoln communted hundreds o
sentences of death imposed for cow-
ardice, and thousands for other of-
fences which the military considered
to be grave. So, for that matter, did
both Grant and Lee. Under the Brit-
ish law to -day a sentry who falls
asleep is placed in a different cate-
gory from the sentry who feigns sleep
and permits the enemy to approach.
There is, of course, some difference
in what might be called punishment
values in war and peace. It would
be no great hardship, for instance, to
sentence a panic-stricken or somno-
ent soldier to imprisonment for the
duration of the war. He would prob-
ably choose to 'be safe behind prison
bars instead • of facing the enemy's
teel and lead, and it is very unusual
that sentences imposed upon soldiers
rn wartime are continued into the
peace period.
Just as physiologists have been un-
ble to agree upon an answer to the
uestion when is a man drunk, so
he experts have beeunable to form -
late a definition of cowardice that
ill cover all cases. It is concei'v-
ble that circumstances might arise
when a man might act in such a way
hat many would call him a coward,
thers a sensible fellow and others
here. He might slink away from a
oat of duty in the hope and expec-
ion of suddenly descending. upon
he enemy from another quarter. Be-
tween the time of his slinking and
. e time of his swooping he might
caught, accused of cowardice and
liable to prove his intentions. On
e other hand, he might be such a
olt that he did not have sufficient
elligence to recognize danger. Thus
e fright be hated as a hero because
f his stupidity. Should this stupid -
y or bravery result in the death of
hers, he might be court martialed.
or will another war supply answers
the questions suggested above.

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE
Need Rich, Red Blood to Maintain
Good Health.
After passing the age of forty
every woman has reason to grow
anxious about her health. This time
of trial, with its attacks of faintness
and fits of depression, its often viol-
ent headaches and back pains is right-
ly dreaded .by women; but if reason-
able steps are taken to safeguard the
health, no serious ill-effects will arise.
At this turning point in life Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have given a help-
ing hand to thousands of suffering
women who were fighting a, hopeless
battle against poor health and wan-
ing strength.
The very best help for any woman
of middle age is the health help given
by Dr.Williams' Pink Pills. These
pills reinforce the blood supply, en-
riching and purifying it. In doing
this they nourish the starved and
overtaxed nerves and give new
strength and 'vitality to the whole
system. By this natural process Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills completely dis-
pel all pains and weakness, and a bet-
ter, happier condition , of health and
spirits arises.
Every woman of middle age should
take advantage now of the wonder-
ful health•-he1el of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. They are sold by all medicine
dealers or will be sent by mail at 50
cents a box by The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
ENOCH ARDEN TURNS UP IN
GLOUCESTER
The other day a returned soldier
turned up at Chesley and' was inter-
ested to see his own name heading
the list of valiant dead on the mem-
orial erected by the citizens. He had
been left for dead on the field of
battle, but had been taken prisoner
and after escaping had various ad-
ventures in different' parts of the
world. He 'had no means of knowing
that he had been listed as dead, and
having no kin in Chesley had not
troubled to write to call the atten-
tion of anyone there to his continued
existence. There must have been
many such incidents in the years fol-
lowing the war and we believethat
there will he others yet to come. No
doubt, there were men who seized an
opportunity offered by the war to dis-
appear forever from the ken of fam-
ily and friends. Others would be vic-
tims of wounds and mental !derange-
ments, and are perhaps now spending
their days in some 'hospital, or per-
haps, even prison, known to their
keepers only by a number, and
known not at all to the outside world.
A short time ago one of these men
returned to his old home in England
and created' a sensation that far
eclipsed that at Chesley.
The returned soldier was Charles
Henry Peacey, now aged thirty-five,
and a native of Gloucester. Hejoin-
ed the 2nd Gloucesters at the out-
break of war, served • in France and
Salonika, and was several times
wounded. One of his periods of con-
valescence he spent in Fengland, where
he met and married a. Miss White-
head, who lived in the Tredworth
trict of Gloucester.' Returning to the
front he was transferred into a tanks
corps, and in the ,great attack on Ts ent-
mel in 191'7, the tank, of whose crew
he ' was corporal, received a direct hit:
Peavey was so, badly wounded innthe
head that he knew nothing until the
following June, when lie found' him-
self in the hospital with a metal plate
replacing his frontal bone. In Sep-
tember he was discharged, his mem*
ory a blank. A few months later firer '.

ed. He was posted as a deserter,
and his family, after spending a con-
siderable sum in advertising for him,
gave him up ar dead.
All t'uis time Peacey, after having
wandered about Portland with no idea
who he was or what he was doing,
was taken into a mental - hospitau; in
the city, as a shell-shocked soldier, and
there he remained for ten years. He
was unable to give any account of
himself, but the kind people into
whose hands he had fallen did not
cease their efforts to give him relief,
and with this in view, 5urgeoris per-
formed several operations on his
skull. They met with no success, and
then one day he was operated on for
nasal trouble, and after this it seem-
ed that his mind had been improved.
Gradually his memory returned. What
was blank became hazy, what was
hazy became clear. , He remembered
who he was and where he Iived, and
all the incidents of his life up to the
time he was struck at Kemmel. H•e
was sent to New Orleans for convales-
cence, and after a short time was put
aboard ship and returned to England.
He made at once for Gloucester and
knocked at the door -of what had once
been his home. Here he found no-
body -Who knew him, but from neigh-
bors he learned that his mother had
died two years earlier, and what
shocked him still more, that his wife
had married again. He found where
she lived and turned up at the little
home in Painswick Road. He knock-
ed at the door and his wife came out.
"How are you May?" he said, of-.
feringhis hand anas though he had
seen her only the day before. The
woman nearly collapsed. For eleven
years she had supposed him dead, and
here he stood before her, strange
looking, it is true, but undeniably her
husband. They entered the house and
sat down and had a chat, Peacey tel-
ling about his wanderings and the
wife telling him how sorry she was,
but that she was married again and
had no thought of leaving her hus-
band. He said he would never think
of interfering with her or her hus-
band, who is Waiter Jones, a builder.
He said later that he realized his
wife was quite justified in marrying
again, and that he regrets she is
placed in rather an embarrassing pos-
ition. At the house he saw his eld-
est daughter, whom he failed to re-
cognize. He has no thought of mak-
ing a claim for her, and says that all
he wants is a job. He wishes to stay
in Gloucester until he has straighten-
ed out -some difficulty with the War
Office about his penion. Then he will
once more leave the town never to
return. - 'In the meantime the Cunard
Company has paid him for his Amer-
ican voyage of ten years ago, and
given him £14 as his share for sal-
vaging an- American steamship.
His wife has described the efforts
made by the family to trace him. A
body was found soon afterward in
the Bristol Channel and she and
other members of the family suppos-
ed it was Peacey's But the police
were not satisfied because of missing
tattoo marks. For seven- years, there-
after, his wife worked hard for her-
self and three children, the last of
whom was born shortly after the hus-
band disappeared. Then she met
Jones with whom she had gone to
school. Peacey's mother advised her
to get married, and Mr. Jones strong-
ly supported this view. In the end
they were united and. are happy. They
have one child of their own, and our
readers will be glad to know that Mr.
Jones, according to Mrs. Jones, has
been "a splendid father to Harry's
three children." Another happy ev-
ent is that Harry's brother, who was
deaf and dumb, has partly recovered
his powers of speech because of the
shock of the reappearance, on which
he felt obliged to comment in strong
language.
