CHEERFUL LETTERS.


Recent reports from commanding
generals of certain Army divisions in
dictate that one of the fruitful causes
of soldiers absenting themselves with
out leave is the discouraging letter
from home. Such letters frequently
give alarming and exaggerated reports
of conditions surrounding the soldiers
family, that some member is desper-
ately i'll, that all are starving, or that
they are being in some way harassed
In instances such letters have SO prey
cd upon the minds of soldiers that they
have absented themselves without
leave to go home, only to find that
conditions had been grossly exagger-
ated
Meanwhile, the soldier had been alb
sent without leave a serious military
offence His problem then became one
of facing the penalty or getting deep
er into trouble by DESERVING. Some
times mans pride or fear has led
him to desert.
Every soldier wants to receive let
tiers from home. They should be fire.
quent, cheerful. hopeful, and apprecia-
live of the sacrifice that he IS making
for his country. They should be full of
family incidents and cheerful home
gossip. They should protect him from
the trifling alarms and the small an
noyances of everyday life They should
encourage him by giving full conf
dence that his family and his friends
stand behind him in the great enter
prise he has undertaken.
"Tho value of such letters to sol
diers is beyond estimate. The harm
that discouraging letters from home
do to him is clearly indicated by re-
ports at The Adjutant Generals Office
Here-are some extracts from recent
reports of division commanders:

Baseball is regarded as a tonic for the

promote the game on the other side, so

paraphernalia are made almost daily.
Coughlin helped the Tigers to capture

it is stated that up to the present time
there has been no marked breakdown
in the health of women, and valuable
preventive suggestions are given. The
report says:
1T is probable, however. that the
strain mas been greater than is a.
present apparent. having been hitherto
cOunteracted and disguised by certain
factors, such as improved food and bet
ter fact0ry environment, welfare super
vision and the dropping out of the ply
sically weaker. The committee consider
that certain conditions Of employment
are csential IL the risk OF future
breakdown is to be- avoided including
short hours Of work conveniently ar
ranged. medical supervision lnclud-
ing rest rooms. first aid, etc.). careful
selection Of workers. good food. a fay-
orable factory environment with SYM
pathetic management and supervision.
IN the case Of married women their
employment should be confined as far
as possible 10 light work and. if pos
sible, some relaxation allowed at the
beginning and end Of the dsy and also
during the dinner interval. Night work
for women should be avoided unless
