Sheep Could Not Sleep.

But the French peasant will not have
any smoking in his hayloft If he knows
1t. One quiet woman already has com.
planned. not that the boys smoked, but
that they talked SO late at night that
her sheep. corralled below them, could
not sleep and were getting thin.
Even without fire the men will not
be cold. Each one will have four
blankets and an overcoat issued to him
by the Army. British and French SOL
diers have only one blanket and over
coat apiece and they are hardened to
that, even though the French private
marches in his overcoat the hottest
days in summer. Besides, In the
trenches there will not be any stoves
or Morris chairs and our boys may az
we'll get accustomed to 1t.
They can pass the evening in wei
heated recreation hall until the call
to quarters sounds on the bueles at 10
o'clock and then quick run to the
billets, a dive under the blankets and
snug and asleep before taps at 1870.
Getting up in the cold. dark winter
mornings may be some bone-chiller.
but there will always be a hot break
fast waiting. and then work to get the
blood tingling.

Foresters Are Awaited.

While the men are chopping trees and
manicuring twigs into kindlfng wood
they are being toughened physicallys.
but they are not learning to throw
grenades or handle complicated ma
chine guns or several other new
wrinkles of warfare. That is why thu.
regiment OF foresters that is being
organized in the United States is So
eagerly awaited. They will do. the work
under men who have studied and prac-s
ticed forest conservation and work with
men who have made swinging an AK
life business. The French have NO,
labor to spare to relieve our men and
the German prisoners are all busy else;

go ahead with the kitchen as a practi-
cal measure toward food conservation

Situation Far From Perfect.

lie said that, while the Americans
are entitled to take credit to them
selves for their progress in prepared
ness. even the situation now Is Tar
from being 100 per cent perfect. Him
self also disclaiming pessimism as to
the final result of the war. he feels 1t
to be the duty of every American to
take stock carefully of actual cond1-
tions. weigh them carefully and be
guided accordingly.
He said that no one in oflicialdom of
authority and in a position to be IN
formed will conceal the fact that TINS
country's preparedness plans are nag
ging in spots. weak in occasional
Joints and sections. 1t is necessarily so.
he explained because the United states
had practically to start at the Veriest
beginning, from shoes on feet to guns
on shoulder. to produce in quantities
almost bewildering to contemplate.
He said the consoling feature is that
officials are looking the shortcomings
snuarely in the face and overcoming
them they ara encountered. BUT II
will take time. money. money ana sun
more money. Even the shortcomings. ne
declared. are by no means vital. me
fact that soldier in hastily constrnc.ea
structed contanment lacks warm water
to lave his hands is not necessary de-
pressing to the point of despair
This official asserted that the great
est element of weakness IN the position
of the United States in the war at pres
ent IS the failure of the people to real
ize IN full that this country is at war
and also to fully take in the magnitude
and seriousness of the problems ahead
That is accounted for in part by the
distance from the scene of actual hos
tilities: that the atrocities are only
known by hearsay and from reading.
and that thus far the only actual ply
steal effect of the war felt by the people
is the pressure upon their pocketbooks.
the menace of taxation and high
prices and the absence in q training
camp of a familiar face.
He closed with the expression that 1t
was apparently true. lamentable though
it be, that perhaps the country will not
thoroughly awaken until the casualty
lists begin coming in next spring.
