Every parent of an American sol,
dier should give the utmost encourage
ment and support to the work being
done by the Young Mer's Christian
Association among the soldiers boys in
camp in this country and on the bat
tie fields of France. This organiza-
ton is meeting a human need that
none but it or a similar organization
can fill s
General Sherman was pretty near
the mark when he gave his famous de-
finition of war Putting it at the mild
est, it is hard-and hardening to the
finer sensibilities of those who engage
in it, This, no doubt is necessary.
We are told by army officers that be-
fore a recruit is fit for the trenches he
must have imbibed a desire ito kill"
This also is probably necessary if they
are to stand before the foe and give the
oest account of themselves.
But it is precisely this hard side of
the boys nature that needs to Lo cor
rected, not by eliminating the hardness
but by rearing up along side of it to-
ially different ature--a nature where
in the better and finer things of. life
are accounted of worth. This can be
and is done without at all taking from
the boys usefulness and efficiency as a
soldier. In fact, the most important
preachment of this organization is a
eonsecrated patriotism. But while
viewing patriotism as sacred duty,
and efficiency as it's twin virtue, the
organization would have the soldier
regard the resort to force as a necessi-
tyty and not a desire-as a deadly
weapon to be used as effectively as
possible so long as the need exists,
out to b laid aside when no longer re-
quired.
This, together with the fact that the
organization fosters the physical men
al and moral care of the soldier, striv-
ing to bring out all those virtues which
20 to make the perfect character in
nan, whether soldier or civilian
} should give it a warm place in the
hearts of the parents of American
soldiers.-Griffin Daily News.
