ing among the long rows of corn, cul-
tlvatlng the ground, groups of women
slowly crossing the fields, creeping on
their knees, painfully tending the
newly planted crops. Occasionally one
sees white-bearded patriarch among
the women. should say that the pro-
portion is roughly one man to six
women. This, however, is by no means
an official figure. 1t is only my own
rough guess.
There is no wonder that with this
tremendous shortage in labor fields
are left bare, while those that can be
cultivated produce less than the nor
NAL amount per acre. What would
our Western farmers think of turning
the land in the spring with long -bladed
hoes? Yet have seen this very thing
being done in many parts of France
because of the dearth of agricultural
machinery.
Farm Implement Shortage.
Most of the farm implements of
France before the war were of Amer
lean make. One saw the American
mark on the plows and harrows, the
rakes and reapers and binders and
threshers all over France. Since the
war much of this machinery has de-
Perforated sadly and great part of
it is entirely unfit for use, because
there are not the mechanics to keep it
in repair, and there has not been the
importation of new machines and parts
to replace the old and worn-out pieces.
France is a country at war, very
really and terribly at war. The in
vader is on her soil. Her mines and
furnaces and factories are in German
hands. Her richest manufacturing
provinces are held by the enemy. Her
men must go to the trenches to defend
their country and drive back the hordes
from across the Rhine. And those men
of the armies must be fed and have
the means to fight. Above all, they
must have arms and munitions. big
guns and shells.
Resources Have Suffered
Every thought of France for three
long years of bloody and sacrificial
war has been given TO "les braves" at
the front Little has remained for the
civilians at the rear. who have borne
their trials in stole calm for the sake
Of the soldiers in the trenches. And
in those years the resources of France
have suffered, especially the farm re-
sources, for imports have had TO be
directed TO the army. The steel
brought in has been for shells, the
machinery to make more shells and
guns The plow share has been beaten
into sword, while the reaper has rot
ted idle in the fields with only the
hands of women and children to tend it.
Now France needs grain. She must
have grain to make bread both for SOL
diers and civilians. And only America
can supply IT, The burden of victory
lies as heavily on our Western farmers
as on the battlefields of France.

Of Mai. James A. Moss, U. s, A. lie

thors Of the book.

Of the work.
The authors state the purpose OF
the book as fourfold: To give to
American boys some idea Of the part
that military preparedness means in
the life of a nation: to teach them the
elements of military training; to show
that the drills and maneuvers of mill
Lary training, while necessary, are
only one side Of the work, and that
the other side is discipline and loyalty
which go toward splendid manhood;
and to impress upon boys the fact that
