BOYS CRAVE
HOME NEWS
Cheer Their Weary Way
With Frightening
Letters.

w. Frank Persons, director general
of Civilian Relief of the American
Red Cross, has just returned from
France, where he organized the Bu-
reau of Home Service in the American
Red Cross organization of that coun-
try. He is firmly convinced that pro-
per conditions in the homes of sol
diers and sailors and the maintenance
of close and intimate contact between
the men and their families is abso-
lutely essential to properly sustain
the morale of our fighting men.
He said: "The fighting man wants
to know all about what is going on at
home--all the details about his fam
lily and then about his friends and his
community generally. He wants to
be kept in touch with local civic af-
fairs and what is going on in his town
and state.
"Of the morale of our fighting men,
/ heard only uniform approval thru
out France. They are maintaining
that morale under conditions, which,
because of loneliness, strangeness and
remoteness, do not, in themselves, pre-
dispose to buoyancy of mind.
Every important in keeping the
American home a living reality in
France are letters from home-cheer-
full letters giving complete news. These
letters must come frequently and reg
ularly and leave no gaps in home his
tory. And this serial story of the
home life should be illustrated with
plenty of snapshots and pictures.
News and frequent pictures of the
children are peculiarly important.
Those at home see the children daily.
But from a distance of 5000 miles
and in war environment, it is diff
ficult to imagine two-year-old as a
three-year-ol child or to make sat
isfactory mental picture of how child
left in curls and rompers looks as a
real boy with his hair cut short and
sticking his hands into his first
pants pocket Such home news keeps
brother, father or uncle buoyed up
and in fine fighting spirit. It's alb
sence may send him into battle wor-
ried, blue or morose and in no mental
shape to take care of himself or do
his full part in protecting his trench
mates.
"Any worry about the condition of
his dependents or relatives tends TO
put soldier into condition where he
is subject to shell shock. l have this
on the authority of eminent special
lists who are dealing with such cases
in the military hospitals.
Soldiers become concerned when
letters fail to come in regularly; an
xious and uneasy when disquieting ru-
mors arrive, and worried and dis
traught when they learn of troubles
at home. An American commander
at the front and leading military
surgeon in Paris, both stated that the
Red Cross could do nothing more i'm
portant from a military standpoint
than to maintain the welfare of the
homes of our fighting men.
There can be no more certain means
of steadying his morale than to give
him the assurance that, whatever may
happen to his folks at home, the
Home Service Station of the Red Cross
chapter in his own town may be de-
pended upon to act promptly, SYM
pathetically and adequately to main
tain the comfort and peace of mind
of those he has left behind"

TEXTILE WORKERS

Columbus, Ga.-A strike conducted
by the United Textile Workers has
been won by the employers abandon
ing their anti-union attitude. The
right of organization is acknowledged
and committees of the workers will
be recognized. Wage differences have
been referred to the national war la
Dor board.
In an attempt to discourage the
strikers sweeping injunction was is
sued against them and United States
soldiers were ordered to this city on
the claim that violence was threat
ened. The strikers denied this and
maintained friendly relations with the
military forces. After the strike was
settled the workers, in mass meeting,
thanked the officers and soldiers for
their uniform kindness and courtesy
shown to the strikers"
The injunction prohibited the strik-
ers from doing anything that could
be construed as an aid to their move
ment. The holding of meetings was
prohibited, and to avoid this writ the
strikers went across the river to Phoe-
nix, Alabama, to confer.

OUT WITH THE FACTS.

Rumors of a sensational nature re-
garding recent developments in coun-
ty infirmary situation are freely cir
culating in this city. Judge Walter
Harlan on Tuesday morning called the
grand jury back in special session
and instructed the members to further
investigate the affairs of the infirm-
ary. He told them that it has been
stated openly that large amounts of
provisions in excessive quantities had
been purchased, ostensibly for the in
mates of the infirmary, but that a
large portion of these provisions were
not used for the benefit of the inmates
of the infirmary, but were distributed
among private citizens. His Honor
instructed the members of the jury to
investigate these rumors and charges
thoroughly and if the evidence war
rants it, to return indictments against
the guilty parties.
This is right and just. When man
encourages another to steal goods by
accepting goods he knows to have been
stolen, and it is stealing to give that
away which doesn't belong to you, that
man is just as guilty as the man who
steals the goods. And it is a little
worse than stealing to take advantage
of another and get him to steal be-
cause of political pressure or influence.
And we might add, it is still worse
to force another to steal who may be
so ignorant as to not know better and
who may, in his ignorance, feel there
is no crime or wrong in doing what
he considers only little favors for his
friends.
If there are any higher-ups, as has
been stated and rumored, out with the
facts. If there are none, in justice
to all, let the investigation be thor
ough.

One little dark cloud on the horizon
of the forward movement of the ma
ehinists' union was noticed in the par
ade Monday. 1t was noticed that the
machinists carried several banners an
nouncing that the Black & Clawson
company is the only shop in the city
that is unfair to their union. 1t is
to be regretted that this is true. In
these days of war and turmoil when
everything and everybody should be
pulling together that we might do
everything we can to back up our
boys cover there" it certainly is to be
regretted and seems strange that an
old shop like the Black & Clawson
company should be the only firm that
is not hitched up with the big team,
composed Of all other shops, and do
ing its share of the pulling. 1t GER
tainly can't be that the machinists
are at fault, because if this were true,
then all the firms who are considered
fair are at fault and the Black &
Clawson company alone are right.
Why not get together, try it over
again, come to some satisfactory adj |:
justment of the existing differences
and let's pull together. Come on,
