WRITING FROM FRANCE.


A South Carolina boy. writing tc
his parents from Somewhere In
France" says: II didn't realize what
war was when 1 was at home but
can realize what it is now and that
realization makes me want to dc
my part more than ever"
That's what we need back here al
home-a realization of what the wal
is. The people who complain at
conservation of food and fuel. who
are constantly criticizing and hin.
dering the war machinery, need a
realization of what the war is. The
profiteers need it. And when all OF
these come to realize the meaning
OF the war, the seriousness of the
war, the seriousness of many stu
ations brought about by the war
then will all shoulders go to the
wheel.
This boy. writing from France,
probably sends home letters more
cheerful than those which go from
this country to the boys at the front.
Here at home we get "grouchy" if
we can't have "just what we want,
when we want it," because we
haven't come to realization of
what the war is. "Over There" the
boys are not expecting many of the
pleasures they were accustomed to
at home, and appreciate what they
have and make the best Of it.
"We are having some beautiful
weather over here now" this South
Carolina boy writes his parents
Its almost as though spring time
was here, and you can just bet we
are glad to see it because we
haven't seen anything but snow. ice
and rain since we've been here But
we didn't mind the weather. We
don't mind anything any more. be-
cause we know, as every Southerner
should know. that we are in this
little scrap to win and we're goinC
to win"
That's the kind of letters that are
coming from our boys in France.
and yet some of us complain and
nurse crouch because we are asked
to eat corn bread one day in the
week. and we grumble and wish
that this thing was over" while
the boys who are doing the lighting
"a at it cheerfully. uncomplaining
and with the single idea of win
1ing.
They are liked by the French, too.
This boy writes: You don't have
my idea how the French treat us. |
They treat us like princes. There is
n old lady who lives just below |
NY billet, who is another mother to
ne. She sews buttons on all nv
lothes and darns my socks and does
verything almost that you would |
q Tor me-nOt everything almost |
And she isn't the only
ne. there's thousands like her in
rance" Every letter that comes
rom France is teeming with cheer
illness and the determination to !
Yin, and that's the spirit that will |

Secretary Daniels throughout a lone
period during which he was the

particular pleasure in reprinting the
editorial article from The New York

one OF the most persistent of the
secretary's critics. Ii says now that
he was much underrated" by those
critics. that he has common sense.
that he has that supreme but by no
means common gift of knowing the
value of his advisers" that he is
one OF the most competent mem
bers of the Cabinet" that naval of
ficers no longer criticise him.
All this is perfectly true and The
Times does n manly and handsome
thing in coming out and saying so.
unquestionahly it is a fact that much
Of the credit for the navy's splendid
showing is due to some of Mr.. Dan
iels' subordnates, among whom our

has been the fact that he recognized
