"The American soldier, in France

", unselfishly, and with great loss to
industrial. educational and commercial
opportunity to the individual members
Of the force. These men have given
up the making of careers as civilians
in order that they might offer their
services as soldiers. The end of the
war finds them assembled IN vast
armies. to be dem obilized by gradual
processes, and during the time which
must elapse covering many months
their need of recreation will be greater
than during the period of their strenu
Gus occupation.
while their deserts have speca
claim upon US, We must now do oul
duty, see that their educational oppor
tunities are supplied and that ever,
precaution is taken to return them Il
their civilized pursuits, strong in body
unbroken by any disillusionment tina
comes from idleness and lack of occu
patton, better fitted both in hand ant
in mind to follow the professions ant
trades Of their choice.
General Pershing Anxious
General Pershing is deeply con
cerned for the men in his army, and
as Secretary of War share his concerns
They have done their duty. ard we
must do ours The funds which arc he
ing collected for the agencies grouped
around the army are necessary in ordo,
that this work may be done thoroughly
am glad TO join you in urging that
every effort be made to bring these
funds up to the budgets which were
reviewed and carefully supervised By
he War Department, and hope nc
one will refrain from giving because
Of any belief that the need is less now
hat peace has come"
