Morale, They Call 1t, and 1t 10
Winning the War
By Bruce BARTON

Back from the line they came, their minds full
of pictures that refused to fade.
They did not smile; they did not joke; they
did not speak. Like men grown old in single
night they dropped heavily upon the ground,
their eyes staring cold before them.
In moment the hut door opened and Secre-
tary came out. His eye took in the situation at
a glance 1t was no time for talk; he turned
back into his hut again.
And suddenly a baseball rolled out and
bounded on the ground; then came bat; and
gloves; and a catcher's mask
man who sat beside the hut picked up tho
ball and turned it idly in his hand as if it had
been some foreign thing. Another man picked
up the bat; third played absently with love.
Then, like fame out of smouldering embers,
a baseball game was born tull Hedged behind
that little hut. The air was filled with laughter,
and the loud shouts of men whose minds are
cleansed of every worry, and whose hearts arc
free.
So peace came to those men who had been SO
burdened with their memories. And in the
morning they were fresh,-as men who had never
fought.
They call il morale-the miracle that restores
mems spirits and sends them back every morning
fresh and confident.
You have to-day your chance to contributefto
morale. 1t is a chance you must not miss.
For morale is winning the war.

X. OF c. AND Y. M. c. A.
USE ONE HUT AT FRONT
Two Secretaries Find But One Hut
In st. Mihiel Sector But They Have
Canteen Open In Two Hours After
Troops Occupy Town.

Paris. Oct II (By MaiD-One hut
was shared by the Knights of Column
bus and Y. M. C.. A, in a little ruined
French village in the st. Mihiel Sec
tor when the drive was in progress
in that sector recently.
The X. of G. secretaries and the
"Y" men attached to that particular
division went into the village with the
troops and began to search for bill
let. Only one building was found that
appeared available for the purposes
of the auxiliary workers, but it didn't
take the eY" or X. of G. men long
to decide what they would do.
We'll just go fifty-fifty on this
building" said Secretary Thomas J..
Mentally, who was in charge of the K.
c. men. The "Y," chief secretary was
agreeable, and within two hours after
the troops had arrived in their billets,
the two branches of auxiliary workers
were busy handing out writing paper,
smokes, and other little things that
help make life worth while for the
soldiers over here.
The "Y" men had their canteen in
one end of the building, and at night
they slept there. The X. C. men had
their counter at the other end"
We all squander money on schemes
that won't work.

Never A Night Before Away
From Home
By BRUCE BARTON

The whole town gathered on the platform
that morning to see the train pull out-men and
women and children, waving and cheering and
trying hard to keep on smiling through their
tears.
Out OF the Car windows leaned the-boys to
wave last goodbye
just average, clear-eyed country town boys;
twenty OF them altogether Ind 5epenteen Of
them had never slept night array from home
before.
They are dwelling in strange land tonight,
whose language they cannot understand.
But acyoss the mud and the snow a light
CLEANS warm from hut on the edge of the
town, and inside good cheer and happiness are
ready for whoever will come in to claim them.
Friendship dwells in the hut; keep it's warm
fires burning bright this winter. Let it be per-
fectly clear TO the men over there that you have
not forgotten.
to the men that only little while ago were
boys who had never slept night away from
home.

What Do You Think Is My Sharei

And / told him that it would be hard for
anyone but himself to decide. There are so

said.
A hundred and seventy millions looks big at

gave for the Louisiana territory.
It's dollar and seventy cents for every man.
woman and child in the land; it's more than
eight dollars and a half for every household.
"You can figure it on that basis" told him.
"On the basis of dollars and cents. Or you can
figure it on the basis Of boys"
"Of boysr he questioned IL do not under
stand"
It's less than fifteen cents day for each Of our
soldiers and sailors, answered. Fifteen cents
day to give them warmth and comfort and
entertainment, and lectures, and games, and the
thought Of mother and Of God"
Fifteen cents a day for boy: two for .

take"
And his eyes kindled. 81 think could take
ten at least" he said. He drew his check book

Americas Pledge of Food
Gave Heart to the Allies
In Their Darkest Hour

Whatever is necessary America will
send. That was Americas pledge to
the interallied food council. And be-
cause the American food army had
hitherto made good they took heart
and went forward.
Farm enterprise and much soft corn
increased pork supplies, food conser-
walton increased exports-total ship

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL fiber
Doubters Declared Saving Sta.
piles Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup.
port of War by Conserving for
the Benefit of the
Allies.

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that 1t was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton OF staple necessities, but that II
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease In the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
lions will be able to go farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption If the
present short rations In Europe are
not materially increased If the Eu-
ropean ration Is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tfnued restriction to a greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Admlnistra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton TO build up a reserve, and to tide
over the period Of scarcity until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October $4,000 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows n definite, concrete saving of
over 100000 tons. These figures APP
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show concluslvely that In
the homes and public eating places Of
America, where 20 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225000
tons were distributed In September
the figures showed 279,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.

ALLIES ARE FED
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without in
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since II
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brunt OF
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostllities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden Of keeping starvation from
increasing its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prusslan yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by a nation harassed
by hunger A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the ma
lions sighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength ana
tranquility to re-establish themselves
In freedom and democracy.
without our help 1t would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain a living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con
tributlng largely to the support Of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration of twenty-five million people.
1t Is hard to grasp the magnitude
and Significance OF the assistance
which has been lent the Allies b. the
patriotic, voluntary service of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
hclent to feed One-ffth of our popula-
ton. And this was done in spite Of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro
portion of the food that left this coun-
try last year was saved out Of the nor
nal home consumption Of our own
people.
In spite Of difficulties met in inter
nal transportation and shortage of
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to a figure that "A few
years ago would have been unbelieya-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
Of our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
Of the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed TO on the basis Of humanity
and Of patriotism. They have re-
sponded voluntarily.

AS one reads the moving story oil
the 10y with which the people OF
Alsace-Iorraine welcomed the APP
pearance of French and American
forces and the delivery OF their
country from German rule it may re-
cur that almost to the last before the
signing of the armistce the surren-
der OF foot of ground in that terri
tory was thing which the German
government officials loudly proclaim
ed could never be considered, The
most that could be yielded, according
to suggestion once ortwice thrown
out though never with definite au-
thority. was that they might consent
TO a plebiscite whereby the people OF
the country might decide for them
selves their allegiance.
This seems to have been regarded
in some quarters as not unreasonable
But wherever it was so regarded 1t
was without intelligent reflection. A
little rubbing up Of history would have
revealed that this very proposition
was made by the people of Alsace-
Lorraine when such a vote would have
meant something, but that it was de-
cislyelv rejected by the Germans, Soon
after Germany had seized this terri
tory The people Of It's fifteen districts
elected delegates to 30 to Berlin and
presept their case. They offered this
resolution:
