would be no market for soft corn.
An unusual amount of soft corn
was harvested in 1917, because Of
early frosts and cool, wet weather in
September and October. 1t can be
sold direct to grain driers, says the
department, or in many markets
can be dried for the producer at a
cost of three-Quarters to two and
one-half cents bushel, and sold in
dried condition. Owing to present
transportation difficulties, it is rec
commended that farmers and country
shippers delay the movement of soft
corn unless conditions at the termi-
nal market are favorable. The great
est return for soft corn is said to be
received when it is fed to stock on
the farm.

on1ies has been taught that there -
untold wealth in waste.
Then, too, the great drives Tor
funds for the welfare bodies have been
assisted by the camp publications.
So we might go on. But there is a
limit to our space. We feel that the
year has more than justified our being,
and we look forward to another year
of even greater usefulness.
We would be reniss indeed If we
did not take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity to thank the publishers through
out this country who have placed their
printing plants at the disposal OF
Trench and Camp" and who have as
sisted US so wisely and so well, some
Of them even supervising the makeup
and editorial policy themselves.
Also we feel that our thanks are
due to DR.. Frederick P. KeppeL the
Third Assistant Secretary of War,
whose kindly cooperation and firm
but friendly counsel have been ours at
all times-even when DR.. Keppel has
seemed to be immersed in the multi
tudinous details of his great office.
To Malcolm l.. Mcbride, of the War
Department Commlss on Training
Camp Activities, we would address an
other word Of gratitude. His criti-
cisms have always been constructive
and that is a fine thing to be able
to say of any man.
OF course the National War Work
Council of the Young Mems Christian
Association is to be thanked But the
editors have been assured repeatedly
that the most welcome word will be
the assurance that the soldiers them
selves are satisfied. Let US say that
there are indications that certain OF
the Trench and Camp" publications
viii not only be self-supporting during
the next year, but will show profits.
The National War Work Council will
devote the profits from these publi-
cations to the camps they serve. The
funds will be turned over to the mil
.eary authorities to spend as they see
FIT for the benefit Of the men. The
Y. NJ. c. A. does not want to make
money out Of Trench and Camp" and
will not do so,
A final word-and this to the local
editors: Sometimes we at the Nation
al Headquarters may seem harsh and
exacting. Let no one get the impress
sion that we are too harsh or too ex-
acting. We know the local editors
handicaps, but also we know their pos
sibilities. A happy and useful New
Year to you all

The Peace Our Soldiers
Want The Peace Our
Wor Mothers Want

The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper published by the soldiers on
the American Expeditonary Forces in
France, says editorially, about the
enemy peace offensive:
Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming OF a compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace by
agreement let the sideliners who have
had enough of war; let the secretly
inclined pro- Germans who think this
war should end without a decision
let them one and all know once and
for all that FOR the american I1xpedi
tionary Force there Is no such word

The m&n who talks Of peace today
except through victory, is a traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is likened
to the action of German machine-gun

Women In War Work

Secretary McAdoo designated a day
for Women in War Work.
millions OF women in the United
States are engaged in war work Seven
hundred thousand serve as active
workers in the organization of the
National Woman's Liberty Loan com
mittees. Seventy thousand women are
employed in the railroads Hundreds
Of thousands of women are laboring in
the munition factories Other hun
dreds of thousands serve in clerical
work directly related to the war. AS
many more are engaged in. the Red
Cross and other activities for the
anticipation of war conditions,
"The women of America are doing
their share in the winning of the war,
both by actual work and by the ire
mendous force of their moral in

should be memorialized, and Saturday,

tional Headquarters do not expect the
impossible; but we do expect improve
uent.
1t is matter of experience that the
best newspapers are those produced
by the soldiers themselves, to whom
the local editor is but a friendly adj
wiser and whose chief function is intel
ligent supervision. In several of the
camps the soldiers have organized
press clubs, the condition of member
ship being contributing to the col
unns Of the local edition. The clubs
meet every week and, under the direc-
ton of the local editor, news assign
ments" are given. To remain in the
club soldier must fulfill his assign
nents. One failure will mean suspen-
sion;, two failures expulsion. The
press clubs, with this system Of self
government have proved a valuable
assistance in producing the local
papers and the idea is commended to
all camps.
Trench and Camp" has not only
stimulated interest and pride in the
military units, but it has been vel
come messenger to the home. Thou
sands are mailed home every week,
and many parents and relatives have
had their anZieties dispelled by the
realization that army life is very
human relation after all.
Trench and Camp" has rendered
valuable and highly valued service to
the United States government, not
alone in entertaining, instructing and
inspiring the soldiers; but in proclaim
ing the need Of supporting the Liberty
Bond issues. Our files bear eloquent
testimony to the value of the service
we have rendered.
In the War Saving Stamps move
rnent Trench and Camp" has influ-
enced the diverting of many quarter
dollars to the United States Treasury.
The War Risk Insurance, that splen-
did boon to the soldiers, has been ex-
planned with great care and in infinite
detail to the men in service through
the columns OF Trench and Camp,
and that these explanations have
served a useful purpose is indicated by
the eagerness with which insurance
officers seek space in these soldier pub
locations.
The Quartermaster' Department
has counted upon the columns of
Trench and Camp" as the medium Of
preaching the new gospel Of conser-
walton and reclamation and the soldier
who thought the government was
mean when it insisted on rigid econ

he Home Front

The battle front in Europe is not the
only American front. There is a home
front, and our people at home should
be as patriotic as our men in uniform
in foreign lands.
Every Aneican soldier who has
fallen in France. every American sailor
who has died for his countrys cause
has given his life for his people Surely
we. their people, can lend our money to
our nation, their country.
The fourth Liberty Loan is the fight
ing loan. Its great success will bring
comfort and announcement and deep
sense of pride tC our army and our
navy, and to our allies; it will bring
disbursement ITO our enemies. Its
success means American victory Prus-
sian defeat
The fourth loan is the fighting loan,
the soldiers loan.

With this issue Trench and Camp"
completes the FIRST year of its ezis-
tence.
A review Of its accomplishments in
that year is permissible A study of its
shortcomings is sure to be profitable.
In the first place, it may be well to
review the inception of the project.
When the plans for the training camps
and cantonments were outlined, MIR,
John Stewart Bryan, publisher of the
News Leader, Of Richmond, Va, con-
ceived the idea of producing news
paper for Camp Lee, the great canton
ment nearby. The more he considered
this plan the more useful he thought
it would be and his mind evolved the
idea of inviting publishers all over the
country in cities adjacent to training
camps to engage in similar service
for the soldiers.
One after another the newspaper
proprietors agreed to Mr.. Bryan's pro-
posals and soon it became evident that
it would be possible to launch chain
OF newspapers serving every divisional
camp and cantonment in the United
States.
When MIR. Bryan was presenting his
proposal to the newspaper publishers,
other thoughtful men in the country
were turning their attention to the
camp publication question. Among
them was DR.. George E. Vincent, pres
ident of the Rockefeller Foundation
Or. Vincent had urged upon the Ma
tional War Work Council of the
Young Mems Christian Association
the need of camp newspapers. Lead
ers Of the Y. NJ. c. K. agreed with
DR.. Vincent that the need was vital.
But they could see no practicable So
luton of the problems presented.
By strange coincidence, Mr.. Bryan
submitted his plan to the National War
Work Council at the same time that
they were discussing DR.. Vincent's
statement. Thus it happened that Mr.
Bryan submitted a concrete method
of achieving DR. sVincent's purpose.
The main difficulty at the outset was
70 secure trained newspaper men for
service within the several camps. 70
whom could be entrusted the respon-
sibility flor producing the local publ
cations.
Some camps were singuIarly fortu-
nate in the number of newspaper men
already in the military service who
could be called upon to cooperate.
Others were just as unfortunate be-
cause no newspaper men were avail
able. The wide divergence in the num-
Der of newspaper men in individual
camps is perhaps best illustrated in
Camp Wadsworth and Camp SEWER,
these two camps being only a few
miles apart,
At Camp Wadsworth a newspaper
for the soldiers was decided upon and
1t was produced under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Asaocia-
ton, though not in connection with the
"'Trench and Camp" chain. A meeting
of the newspaper men was called and
Iforty-two were found to be in the mil
itary service there. Among them were
q Colonel, q Lieutenant-colo a
Chaplain and many other commits
stoned officers. Camp Wadsworth was
the training place of the 9th Division,
former National Guard troops from
Now York State, On the Mexican Bor-
der these troops had previously been
guobiliged 40 q division and they had
also previously published q newspaper.

of providing instruction for men who

OF providing text for the use Of the
men who win attend these classes;
they should, therefore be carefully

among themselves of these lessons
which will aim ~ furnish a reading
