Are You A Fighter In The
U. S. Food Army?

Anative of the Sahara Desert would
have hard time picuring to himself
Susquehanna flood. Midsummer
in Maryland is something beyond the
ken of the average Esquimau. 1t is
not easy for the farmers of this coun-
try living in the midst of plenty to
imagine a whole people always in
want and daily on the brink of star
walton. 1t doesn II seem possible. Yet
il is more than possibility-it is the
truth applying particularly to France.
There the rations of the soldiers have
been whitfield down to the last notch
where they can be expected to keep
their courage and their strength.
And, in the thick of fight where
unhagging pluck counts for so much,
they are harassed with a doubt
whether their women and children
are getting enough to eat-nay, rath-
er their thoughts are tortured with
the knowledge that they are not.
TO America they look for aid.
America has pledged to keep the AL
lies supplied with food; but for three
months America has fallen a million
tons of supplies behind her promise.
Those promises must be kept if the
line is to be held from FLANDERS to
the Alps. 1t is not merely a ques-
ton of garncring a record harvest
next fall-although that alone is a
huge problem to confront a popula-
lation half rural which is called upon
to adjust itself to meet the changes
imposed by a world wide war. 1t is
question of the daily shipment OF
foodstuffs to keep our allies going.
Shipping shortage demands that the
most SuStcIluIlI DC stlt III tl)c oliIdit
est bnlk-That means wheat, wheat
and more wheat. 1t means that by
saving and substitution, by thrift and
by thought, something must be held
back from every loyal Americans
meals to feed the Allies who are fight
ing for democracy beyond the seas.
In the final struggle, the allied ma"
tions have staked heavily upon Amer
ica's pledge 10 meet their need for
food. SO every day and every meal
there is a chance for every true pa
triot to save and serve. The soldier
who enters the khaki ranks waits
a year almost before he can strike
blow on behalf of that Liberty which
is the national creed for these United
Staes. Enlist in the great food army
which will play no less part in win
ing the war. Strike q blow at the
Kaiser today and keep fighting till
the fray is won.

this night of anxious watching, dawn
came, and glad we were for it. For a
while the firing seemed to cease, then
grew worse. We finally found out the
real state of affairs. The Southerners
were Just coming. The few Northerners
who had not left were trying to hold the
city. One brigade who had fought four
days and nights without food or Sleep
had come back from the front the night
before and asked the commander TO let
them go to another place, and they mutt
MED. They tried to commander the
train, but as said before, the engineer
eluded them. After this they let loose
in the dreadful work of destruction all
over the city staying as long as they dar-
ed. From the back window that over
looks the fields and tains Watcneo
the battle. 1t was wonderful to see the
southern troops advancing. AT first
their white flag appeared on distant
mountain, then it came nearer and near
er. You could see the men advancing at
set intervals, and orderly. They seemed
to come faster and faster, and flnaliy
the northern troops flew, upon which the
southern troops set after them. How l
wish could give you picture OF those
troops entering the city. The northern
msn were all so ellprovided with cloth
ing and everything that makes for com
fort, and they are mostly big husky tel-
lows. The southern men, on the other
hand are little, brown men, skin ana
bone, full of fiery enthusiasm and vigor.
They have no set uniform. as they are
from various places, Kwantung, kwangsi
etc. Many are some of the aborig'nal
tribes of China. the Mas people, panth-
er like set, still adhering to many OF the
most ancient customs, but very suscep-
tible it is said, to the gospel teaching.
They wore sandals on their feet, huge
bandanas on their heads. and enormous
bamboo hats which they use as shields
and helmets.
Duty called me on our porch for mo-
ment, and l saw sight / can never for
get. A northern soldier had been forced
from his hiding place and crowd began
to stone him. Then a southern soldier
stood off and shot him, and as he lay there
another southern soldier stabbed him
three times with his bayonet.

Beating The Record.

Quantico, Va.-The official time
limit for adjusting gas masks is six
seconds, but United States Marines
cncamped here are attempting to set
new records for speedy adjustment.
French and British instructors say
the Marines are showing wonderful
speed in the handling OF gas masks
an almost incredible speed-one that
is likely to break records in gas mask
adjustment.
The gas mask has series of COM
plicated straps that makes it no small
trick to adjust the headgear within
six seconds time, but entire COM
panies of Marines have already beat

MATERNITY.

"Tis love that makes the worldgo round
So sings an old French lay,
The love of bird for his mate,
Breaks forth at dawn of day
Cheering the wakened workman on
Upon his toilsome way.
The love of beast, who for his mate
Fights other beasts of prey
Or kills his offspring at her breast
Ere yet they see the day.
The love of man who leaves his love
With other loves to stray.
What means the old French song so true,
So puzzling, yet SO clear?
Maternity, it yields to you,
The love of all, most dear.
With such love its Savior Ger
Jerusalem didst brood!
In such love His Mother felt
The sharp and piercing sword!
Maternity, the world would die
Without thy lasting food.
