winter the men must face a long vigil
in those scars that marke the earth
from Newport almost TO Switzer-
land. Men who have been there say
it is prison. 1t viii be doubly so for
Americans whose spirit of have it
out" will protest against long periods
of inactivity. This is the plan of
warfare and Americans will probably
fight by the stndards set by European
generals who have found it successful
SO far.
Every man from Saline County
should be assured a letter a week at
least from someone at home. The
British and French early in the war
realized the value of weekend letters
especially and all the cheer they could
write into note paper. The Journals
correspondent. in London writes that
the weekend mail to Tommies in
France and Flanders is sufficient to
tie up the postal service. Because
their friends are closer to the front
this is possible but Americans will be
so far from the battle line that weeks
will pass before the mail is delivered.
The Fort Hays Normal classes in Eng
lish have agreed to write letters to
former Normal boys at the front and
IN environments. This would be a good
''bit' for Wesleyan English classes
and the high school. High schOolers
should have learned by third or
| fourth year to write Ineligible let
tiers. The fact that the folk back
nome remember them is what counts
! for the letter may be trivial If
! Saline county men, women and chill
| dren will remember Sammy when
he's at the front with a letter every
| L. 81
ium and he'll be kept in better splr-
its. All of this goes to sustaining the
! splendid American morale.
