A MOTHER’S PRAYER

Accompanying a check for the Democratic campaign fund was this letter: ' “Elizabeth, N. J. “George White, Esq., •£. “Chairman Democratic Nat. Com. “Care of New York Times, “New York city, N. Y“Dear Sir: Please accept the enclosed small contribution to the fund for dissemination of truth about the league of nations. It Is literally a ‘widow’s mite’, but it comes from a mother who sent four greatly needed sons to the world war. Two of those sons, with almost unlimited possibilities for future usefulness, were killed; a third was HI In hospitals In France for five months, due to gassing in action, and is still classified as ‘unfit’, and a fourth risked his precious young life in the air. When an honest and concerted effort is being made by the nations of the earth to save, if possible, future mothers and sons from these sacrifices, it is hard to realize there are those who oppose an effort. I feel sure that among those who paid for the war there can be but one opinion, and that is to try the league of nations, even if it is not perfect. It is the best that has been proposed, and, all objections being weighed, is manifestly the most feasible. Please God it will not fail. “Very truly yours, “MARIE A. DAVIDSON, “(Mrs. Edward Crawford' Davidson). 1 “Oct. 6, 1920.”
