DON'T plsHEARTEN SAMMY

Strange to say, the chief curse of American army life today is directly chargeable to the folks back home. Too many of the letters received from friends and family are filled with complaints and expressions of con- cern that do not tend to cheer and encourage the boys in camp. Com manding officers are all of one mind in declaring that this kind of core spondence is all too common, and that it has a disconcerting and de- pressing effect upon the soldiers, who at best find it difficult to master their homesickness at times. Such letters are bound to discourage the boys, subdue their spirits, shake their con- fidence in themselves and their coun- try, and thus seriously impair the morale of the soldiery generally.
 So it is that the military authori- ties are deeply concerned over the situation. They urge the importance of writing frequently-as plain measure for bolstering the spirits of each individual soldier and sustain ing the morale of tho army-but they are equally insistent that the core spondence shall be of a cheerful char acter Common sense ought to die tate as much. It is worse than folly it is a crime-to burden the boys al the front with bad news from home And the sorriest feature of all is thai many of the letters are filled witl misrepresentations at that. Instead of agonizing the soldiers mind witl thoughts of real or imaginary trouble back home, every care should b' taken to shield him from the pett! alarms and annoyances of every-da, life among his folks. Better no lette at all than one that recites affair that are pretty certain to prey upol his mind.
 All this arises, unwittingly, o course, on the part of the anxiou

WASHINGTON, June 17.-In a com. prehensive statement of policy, Di- rector of Railways McAdoo on Satur- day last declared the railroad admin istration aims to win the war by mov- ing troops and supplies, to give the public an efficient service, to promote sympathy and understanding between railroad managements, employees and patrons, and to apply sound business policies to railway operation.
 MT. McAdoo said he hoped the de- velopments would humanize the sci ence of railroading and negative the idea that corporations have no souls.

Berne.-The correspondent of the
Berne Bund sends his paper a de-
scription of life in Paris, which is
published under the caption, "War
Life in France; Paris as 1t Eats end
Saves" The article says:
"Who would have thought possible
before the war world city in exist
ence two days march behind the bat
tie front? During the first war weeks,
after the governments departure to
Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat
deserted. But since then everything

here is traffic that has never been

sSThe Partisan long ago became used
to the uniforms and forgot that once
there was a time when women were
the only ones who added color to
street scene. Man gets used to every
thing. After a while one found the
dark streets quite natural. One paid
he high war prices without blinking.
One submitted to the necessity of a
sugar card and learned to get along
with a moderate coal supply In win

Lately, however, the Partisan ex-
perienced things that reminded him Of
the war rather impressively. The
latest visit of German airplanes re-
suited in energetic measures for pro-
7ection. At all the beautiful monu-
nents sand bags are piled high. On

Measures of economy are now taken
up In earnest. Who wants to drink
sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring
lis own sugar or be satisfied with the

made any longer. Confectfoners are

Viches, are to be had. And two francs

rice.
