HOW FRANCE STANDS
Uetter of DR.. Henry Van Dyke

\Leltel VI LII. I1Suly van Dyhc Ill
New York '"Ilmes")
France is not "bled white. France
is not moribund, desperate, at her last
gasp. I have recently come from
Paris and from the forts and trench
es of the Verdun fighting line. I
| know whereof I speak. ,,
France has suffered and is suffering
immensely. But her eye is not dim
med nor her natural strength abated
Neither soldier, nor civilian thinks OF
failure or surrender, least of all does
la Francaise admit such thought
All are reasolute, steadfast, calm and
determined upon ultimate victory.
"On les aura, said the soldiers OF
Verdun to me few weeksrago. eve
shall get them! 1t may be long, but
we shall get them, all the same"
What we Americans must do is tc
keep it from being "long." We must
put all our power into this wal
against war, as quickly as possible,
not because we think that France is
dying, but because we mean that
FRAME shall live with the fullness OF
her life. Every added month of her
glorious sacrifice diminishes the rem
nant that will be left to her when the
| war ENDS. That diminution we must
| prevent, if we can, because it will
impoverish the world.
France has still a splendid fighting
force. We must put our men beside
| them in hundreds of thousands.
France has a fine new generation of
children made fatherless by the war
We must help to take care of these
orphans, in order that they may keep
their country alive and great.
Every ship, gun, airplane, dollar
and man that we can give must be
given now
Prepare for a long war if need be
But strike in prompt war since
need is. :! 90 ls- E
Every blow that we can deliver
now against the predatory Potsdam
gang, "the enemy of mankind',, is
worth five times as much as blow
next year
Think what we owe to France, our
oldest ally! Think what France
means to the world, the liberty-lov-
ing, light-giving nation! Make haste
America! Not to rescue France from
death, for that is not impending. But
| to keep France from depletion, which
would mean a loss to all mankind.

DRYING FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES

Women are already planning to do
more canning and preserving than
usual this summer to take care of
surplus vegetables and fruits pro-
duced in the war gardens. David P.
| Huston, secretary of agriculture, re-
minds them of another almost forgot
ten method of food conservation, that
of drying.
Drying can be done in the sun, over
a range or gas stove, or before an
electric fan. 1t is therefore suitable
for the city fiat as well as for the
suburban home or the farm house.
Shallow trays of wood or of heavy
wire screen are the chief equipment
required. It's up to every housewife,
as Secretary Houston points out, "to
can all surplus perishable products
for which she has containers and to
dry and keep in paper any additional
surplus suitable for such preserva-
ton.
The secretary adds: "The present
food and labor situations are such
that no household is justified in look
ing to others to release it wholly
firm individual responsibility and con-
structive action in saving and con-
serving food. All any nome should
expect of others is to supply those
foods which can not be produced eff
fectively by its own members The
railroads will be burdened with the
transportation of staple foods and
civil and military necessaries from
localities of production and manufac-
ture to districts incapable of supply
ing their own needs. 1t follows that
all locally produced foods, conserved
by home methods, lessons the winter
pressure on transportation agencies
an also release similar products of
factories for other purposes"
If it seems like backward step to
return to the drying and preserving
grandmother's day, think over what
the secretary of agriculture has said
and then "get busy" with a clear con-
science.

LETTERS NEEDLESS

According to latest advices from
the War Department, letters of re-
commentator will not be requested
in applying for admission to the sec
ond training camp for officers, Aug
ust 27. All that is required is for the
applicant to mention, in his paper, the
names of those people to whom the
War Department., if it desires, may
apply for a testimonial as to char
acter.
This should be borne in mind by
those applying for the second camp
Nothing is to be gained by wasting
energy going about for letters of re-
commendation when the War Depart.
ment does not want them and they
will of course merely be consigned
to the wastebasket.

A THOUGHT PLAINLY EXPRESSED

A THOUGHT PLAINLY EXPRESSED
What is in the minds of a great
many Republicans was very plainly
uttered by ex-senator Austen Colgate
at political dinner in Newark the
other day. After asserting that the
Republicans were solidly behind the
President in the national defense, he
said: "The President ought to look
around sometimes and take into his
confidence and consult with the men
who are backing him. The only criti-
cism / would make now is that he
doesn't do that, but the party will
stand by him, anyway"
The Democratic party happens to
be in charge at Washington, but it is
the nation that is carrying on the
war, and the government should uti-
lize the services of the strongest men
IN the country, irrespective of their
politics. Root is not the only Repub-
lican of conspicuous influence and
ability who should be called upon to
assist in carrying out the plans for
winning the war.
Roosevelt's services should have
been utilized in an official capacity
long ago. He is needed right now to
bring recruits into the army Roose-
velts Come on, boys!" would be
more effective than the Presidents
latest recruiting proclamation has
been.

THE FRENCH FOURTH OF JULY.

THE FRENCH FOURTH OF JULY
Lives there an American whose
deepest sympathies are not warmed,
whose heart strings are not tightened,
by the announcement that several of
the Allied nations are preparing to
mark their welcome of our participa-
ton in the war for liberty by public
celebrations of independence Day on
the coming Fourth of July? A fete
in Paris to mark the birth of the
great Republic of the New World will
be a gracious act, setting forth to the
world the oneness of the nations that
are battling to make this earth safe
for democracy. A similar festival in
London, of all places, will seal our
present fellowship in arms and heal
forever the scars which, in spite of
more than century of peace between
the great English-speaking peoples,
have occasionally been dragged into
the light. Celebrations such as these

hood than ever before in the worlds
history, besides their obvious purpose
to demonstrate the gratitude of the
Allies for assistance which is in all
human probability destined to deter
mine the issues of the great war in
favor of liberty and democracy.
Less obvious in intent, but even
more gracious in spirit, would be
celebration in America, and especial
ly in this city of the Declaration of
Independence, of that other great an
niversary of the fall of tyranny and
the birth of freedom, July IA, the day
upon which all Frenchmen recall the
fall of the Bastile and all the momen-
tous consequences which followed
that epoch-making event. If French
men can rejoice with us on the natal
day of American independence. with
what hearty good will can we not re-
ciprocate in Fluctuations with France
upon the birthday of that Revolution
which changed the face of Europe
and which, after many trials and vi
cissitudes, brought into being the
France of today, the crowning tri-
umph of modern civilization!
Let us therefore, in this year of
mighty travail, make the French
Fourth of July'-the fourteenth-th
occasion for a celebration at the era
die of independence, and for the en-
listment of American sympathy and
practical assistance for the humane
work. in French hospitals and ambu-
lances, in asylums and homes. which
has been carried forward in this coun-
try for nearly three years by various
volunteer committees. Here is an
opportunity to combine sentiment and
sympathy with a practical demonstra-
ton of good will. 1t should need no
more than the suggestion to enlist
the instant cooperation and assis-
tance of every American man and wo-
man who realizes the significance for
the worlds future well-being of the
coming together of the nations in
great common cause for humanity.
