Henry Bnssel Tal bot B. D,. canon of the National ot Cathedral Washington, D. C makes answer. As senior chaplain of the embattled First Division, A. E. V., in the Argonne fighting. Dr. Talbot viewed a cross section of the country's manhood and found a religion that will puzzle and amaze the orthodox church-goe- r. In hU work, Dr. Talbot collected and examined the personal effects of men killed In battle. In ninety percent of them he found either a Bible, a scapular, a prayer book, a cross, a crucifix or some other token which, he says In a letter to national headquarters of the American Legion, proved that religion was a real element in the men's lives. And in those days, the former chaplain continues, the First was not carrying a single article It did not consider essential. Admitting that the average American Is "uncommonly- - timid in the exercise of hlg religion," Dr. Talbot declares that "nevertheless It Is there and needs only to be cultivated Snd Intelligently used." He summarizes his refutation of the assertion that the American soldier was an Irreligious person by the statejnent: "If a simplicity which Is elemental; a trust which Is childlike although It expresses Itself In what Is called 'chance' or, luck'; a sense of reverence which Is so profound that It Is never fooled by cant ; an honesty which, while It Is apt to be communistic Is so essential that shams don't last If these are Dotes of religion, there was In the spiritual life of the Expeditionary Force something that was flee."
