WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 1915 BLATCHFORD On The Soldiers' = 'UNIVERSAL COMFORTERS' ~~ Striking Appeal to those at Home to "Do Their Bit" By ROBERT BLATCHFORD The famous Editor of the '"Clarion," and the man who foretold the war. SUPPOSE there is hardly a woman or man at home who would not be pleased and proud to offer a British sailor or soldier a pipe of tobacco or a cigarette. There are many ways of fulfilling this desire, but there is no way better than that of subscribing to the Tobacco Fund. There are three solid reasons why we ought to help this fund. Firstly, our sailors and soldiers avant tobacco and cigarettes. Secondly, our sailors and sol- diers deserve tobacco and cigar- ettes, and it is for us_to see that they get them. Thirdly, the Tobacco Fund can send more tobacco and cigarettes for 25 ceats than one could send privately for nearly three times the money, plus postage. That our sailors and soldiers want cigarettes takes no proving. The pipe and the "fag" are the universal comforters. We have only-to think of the weary vigil in the North Sea or in the trenches; the tired men tramping back from the weary labor; the brave lad with newly dressed wounds awaiting the ambulance; the dusty column halting after a long march, to realise that a cigarette at the front is worth'more than a pac- ket at home. But any soldier who has longed for a smoke in places where money could not buy one might. put hiss case more convincingly than I can. Here is a postcard from "Some- where in France': Dear Sir,--Very many thanks for your kind gift of smokes just received. The recgipt of same was mest welcome, ESPECIALLY THE POOR CHAPS WHO P. THROUGH OUR HANDS WOUNDED, A cigarette goes a long way to increase comfort in our civil life, but now their value increases beyond calculation. Here is another: Deat Sir,--Thanks very much for your tobacco and cigarettes. THEY WERE A REAL TREAT AFTER. BEING WITHOUT A SMOKE FOR A WEEK. ONE THING WE CAN DO. Which of us at home could hear unconcerned of a poor chap wound- ed and weary in a strange land, "without a smoke," or of a soldier- boy fighting and working in the trenches for" a whole week without the consolation of a pipe or a "fag?" Assuredly we all are eager to do any little thing for those who are doing and enduring so much for us. And there is one thing we may always do, and do with a 'minimum of trouble and expense; we may send money for tobacco and cigar- ettes, feeling sure that our sailors and soldiers will get the full benefit of all we send. Sir. lan Hamilton after his vivid deseription of the heroism of our soldiers throughout the desperate "fighting in the Gallipoli. Peninsula asks for comforts for the men. He asks for 'cigarettes and more cig- arettes." And he may ask with confidence. The men deserve all that we can do for. them, and more. That also Never a daily paper is published which does not contain moving stories of the cour- age, fortitude, and self-sacrifice of our dear boys atthe front. Danger, danger suddén and ter rible, fatigue, suffering, acts of heroism, are ehmmenpiate to the men who "prize a cigarette after being without a' Snltke. lor. 8 week' A man I Enow, a sergeant 'and 8 V.C., who has been for eight months in the firing line, and is now in "the Haut t part of the British area," es to his: sister thus: " i "I had a near shave Just now. I was in a dugout and I thought I would write to you. I had just reached out my. hand for the pencil when a shrapnel burst Slope to me and buried several of € men. One poor fellow had his head blown off. 1 was try- ing to dig the men out with my hands when sone - our chaps * ~ before the public. » "*Arf a Mo . 1" Kaiser came to help me. One of them said, © "Sergeant, you . have the heart and courage of: a lion." That man, who won the Victoria Cross for saving life under fire, has a better heart than any lion; he has the heart of a brave and merciful man. Shall such a man be left "without a smoke for a week?" ARMY AND NAVY OF HEROES. ' We have an army of such men, and a-navy too: an army and a navy of men who perform acts. of heroism when no one sees, who do .deeds deserving of the Victoria Cross which no one hears of. Truly our sailors and our soldiers deserve tobacco and cigarettes. How much to them are a few cigarettes--a few cigarettes which cost so little and are so easy to send? For 25¢. The Tobacco Fund will send a parcel containing 50- cigar eftes, four ounces of smoking mix- ture,, and some matches, Each packet bears thé name and address of the subscriber, and a post card on which -the soldier can acknowl edgé the gift. The tobacco is good. I am an old smoker, and 1 have tried it. The sailor or soldier will get nearly three times as much for th money as he would, Jt the gift wefe sent privately. The tobacco and cigarettes are sent duty free and carriage free. Not a farthing of the money sént for tobacco or cigarettes Is spent on the working of the fund. Every penny subscribed gees fo purchase comfort for" the men in the form of smokes. 8.285 ed Pres DO IT NOW! It you send tobaccs or cigarettes privately you spend pearly all your money in postage and boxes. = If you send money to the Tobacco Fund this cost is saved. The ad- vantage of such an arrangement speaks for itself. As an old soldief and an old smoker I venture to put the facts The men are splendid. Tobacco 8 the univer- #al comforter.
