ASK THE SOLDIERS.

That the soldiers, sailors and ma.
:rines are deeply appreciative Of the
canteen service Of the American Red
Gross is given ample evidence many
times every day. The keynote Of their
appreciation is perhaps best expressed
on the post cards which they send to
the folks back home" when en- route
to points Of embar1kation. From a
dozen picked up at random the follow
tnY sentiments were taken and speak
tor themselves"
"Red Cross are SUR treating as

\ Support Red Cross in everything"
"For Gods sake lever say No to
the Red Cross. They're wonderful"
"Lons live the Red Cross"
"The Red Cross are angels to us the
way they treat ua"

CANTEEN At FRONT FOR
AMERICAN bird MEN"

American flying men In France are
to receive special attention from the
American Red Cross as the result Of a
request for such service that has been,
received from General Patrick, Chief
of the Air Service. Because Of the
necessity Of keeping aviators over
seas in the very best mental and
physical condition for their hazardous
work officials of. the aviation branch OF
the service have long felt they should
have more comforts and opportunities
for relaxation than are provided by
the ordinary canteen.
In compliance with the request the
Red Cross is establishing special COM
'bination mess and recreation canteens
at all points. in France where our avi-'
ators, either students or officers, are
stationed. Extra comforts and atten-
ton will be provided for our bird
men" at these canteens They will be
presided over By American women OF
Intelligence and cheerful personality,
whose chief duty will be to create as:
much home atmosphere as possible In;
the circumstances. :
The American Red Cross is to have
sole charge Of these aviation canteens.

Letter from Private Perry r. Brown

Somewhere in France, On Active
Service With the American Expedi-
tionary Force, Oct. 1918.-My Dear
Old Mother: I am going to write to
you again. Glad to say I am we'll and
truly hope this letter will reach
you all we'll.
Well, mother, it hasn't been but a
few days since l wrote you a letter
but you asked me to write to you
as often as ! could. I am glad to
have the pleasure in writing to you
as often as 1 want to but I don't have
very much time to write, but l am
going to try to let you hear from me
about every week. l guess you all
will have a bad time this year getting
through picking cotton, that is, II
you can't get any help, but hope
you all made. a good crop and can
get a good price for it.
Well, mother, I don't look to be
home for Christmas, but l do look
to come home the first of the spring.
When l come home 1 want you to
give me one more good old real feed.
I get a plenty to eat, but not like
eating at home. l have been away
from home some time, and when |
come home l just want to take about
one month to eat and rest, for l am
not only a few miles from home, but
I am thousands of miles away, and
l have not been in a battle yet, and
l am not looking to get in one
But when it comes my time to get
in one l am the man for it. | hope
l wont have to go into a battle, but,
mother, you can very we'll say you
have n real soldier in the u. S.
army and one who is coming back
home and who will know how to live.
I am glad to say I have plenty of
friends in my company and the boys
seem to like me.
Well, mama, I am sorry that l
can't be home with you all when you
start to cooking syrup, I could have
me a good old time, but don't think
the war will last very long for
we have the Dutch on the run and
they are asking for peace, but we
want to lick them before they get
peace.
Well, mother, I hope no more of
my brothers will have to come over,
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-12-12

but if they have to go into the camps
in the State it will not be so bad'
for it will be the best schooling they
can take, for the army sure Will learn
a man how to live. I have learned
more sinceI have been in the army
than l learned in all my life.
I don't have much time to think
about home, but it isn't any use for
YOU all to worry about me for am
coming back home.
Well, mother, l guess Eddie mas IL
lonesome, but tell him to rest easy,
for I will be with him some old day.
I guess though he will be married
when I come home, but I can't blame
him. If 1 had known what 1
know now I would have been married
five years ago, not that it would have
kept me out of the army, but Wnen
T oct hack home | will be glad Of the
trip.
Well, mother, 1 am getting sleepy
and my candle will soon be burnt up
so I will ring it off for this time.
Wish 1 could get a letter from you
every day. 1 will try to let you hear
from me every few weeks. Write and
give me all the news. By by, dear
mother. From your loving son,

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events 1t
Is interesting 10 recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July Of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Gwen though the situation In Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge Of the
results already obtained in every di-
rection need have one atom Of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"

KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND Bread
American Nation Maintained A.
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World ls Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread. .

Since the advent OF the latest wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July 1
and October 10 we shipped 65,98O,305
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 800, 900 bushels Of wheat and
-four In terms Of wheat. -
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton Of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed Jul normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have q white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we ableFto keep a
steady stream Of wheat and -four NOV
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
20,0OO,0O0 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of a bread
famine and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
Of the year we had managed to ship q
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American peo-
pie was s5,0 O 900 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January 1 and
July 1. Out. of a harvest which gave
US only 10000 900 bushels surplus we
actually shipped III, 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

Editor The Herald wish space
Id your columns to say a few words

Is to be backed up in every drive
thatNmay be launched by our govern
ment, whether it be for liberty bonds,

defense, colored, to exert his infu-
ence in his neighborhood, and entreat

anything else. Every member of the
council of defense, colored, in Bam-
berg county, get busy in urging in
your community men, women, boys

GREATEST OPPORTUNITY
WOMEN EVER HAD.

It was given to the women Of this
country to perform the greatest serv-
ice In the winning Of the war vouch-
safed to any women in the history Of

the arts Of peace, the practice Of SIM
pie, homely virtues the womanhood Of
q whole nation served humanity in its
profoundest struggle for peace and

American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
TONS War Conscience
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People /"
the United States Averted q
\Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves concfn-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when d sugar s%tringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions Of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes Of a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump'
ton Of sugar. By it we have been able
to bridge over the period Of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight
Now the nation is in a position 30
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to 60
far afeld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use OF
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our w consump-
tion.
