AN EXPLANATION We are at s lost to understand why | oar goodirlend, Wsjor E. O. Howell Jr. addressed the following letter to the Wildwood Journal, instead of eendiug it direct to ns. f The letter which follows is self ex plan-

We are not endeavoring to mix in tot I Republican iactional tight—oar motto it , let ’em fight—bnt It eeeme as though t Bdilor Heffort, of the Sea Isle Tunes, - has allowed his panisautlnp to r a n awar with bis usual spirit of fairness in bis article of September 12th on coauty

politics.

Hafiert’i innuendoes are portrayed in the two series of parenthesis which might well have been left out, as follows: “Suice Brownnull-r volunteered and •pool Iwovea-K?) sbroadin the army;” and “while Brownmiller did (perhaps)

aerve in the armT.”

I am not defending Brownmiller or advocating his candidacy, bat this implied slur is an insult to him and to •very other service man in the county. If I remember rightly Mr. Brownmiller volunteered a abort time alter war was doelared. with prospect of drawing as much at SS0 S' month from Uncle bam, white lots of hU felloe countrymen wer* perfectly willing to take 850 to $100 a week for an eight or ten boor day in their war activities safe on tint tide ol the pond. Ones in the service a man it very much a child of chance, whether he doee his work here or over there in

the fir ng line.

On our discharge and return to civil , life moet of us had only our experience to show, while many of thooeieft behind had ewoiien hank rolls (or their war experiences. We ere not Jealous of you oi your money anil we would not sell oui experiences for all yoor money—w« have something you can’t buy. i ou don’t understand the fetiguc and t. tiring the average doughboy in aa au-ck

or on an extended inarch, around a training camp,

insdequa'e to pictnre the mental and physical •tram. Our record and our experiences 're very sacred to most of os, and we don't intend to let a critic eaat even the slightest of innuendoes on Uie record of any soldier who volunteered to do bis bit. K. O. Howell, Jr. We wish to assure Mr. Howell that we had abeolutely no intention ol casting the slightest reflection ;on the men who so vahenlly served in the various

branches of the war activities.

It is unfortunate for Mr. Brownmiller that up until the last miuote he permitted a reasonable doubt hr exist as to whether or not he really did serve in Uie army as was claimed by hi* inends. ll was not until Uie mail ol Moudar morn ing (at which lime tins is being written)
