INJUSTICE IS BEING DONE WORTHY AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

i Rev. Roy Hicks, in the Y. M. C. A. work in France, has issued a circular letter refuting a widespread slander on American soldiers held in detention camps in France. He salys there are many of our boys detained in France who are honorably employed in veneral camps and elsewhere, who have ibeen grossly slandered by reports that they are suffering the penalty" of immoral eonIdtuct. He instances an American wife who had written her hutoand jover there that ,as he had failed to show up with lhis» returned division, ishe took it for granted that he was j held in a veneral camp and need f noit return. The soldier in question : was held for duty and was in no I sense a derelict. There are many I similar cases, and Mr. Hicks earnest|iy warns against false reports and I hasty judgment against our boys who are is detention camps—many mo.st worthily.
