Washington, Oct S.-Despite the
fact that war has been raging
throughout Mesopotamia and that
many OF the inhabitants abandoned
their homes and holdings, the soil OF
that region has been made to add a
large share to the worlds production
of foodstuffs for 1918.
A report FROM oCnsul Oscar s.
Heller at Bagdad tells Of record
crops in many parts OF the land OF
the Caliphs. The British army au
thorities are given credit for much OF
this production. As a result, 1t Is
estimated there will be a surplus Of
100 900 tons OF barley and wheat at
tersu pplying the needs of the civi
inhabitants.

American
Captives
In France

Fully three million young Ameri-
cans will be in Europe by the time
the war ends-nearly all of them will
be or will have been in France. Near
ly two million of them are in France
now. Nearly all at them are unmar-
ried, and the Atlanta Journal thinks
that quite number of these will
never return home, the majority not
victims Of German warfare but will
ing captives Of the women of France.
France wants men and naturally is
especially fond of the vigorous young
fellows who have crossed the ocean
in her defense. Hundreds of thou
sands of Frenchmen have been killed
and as many more will return to their
homes hopeless cripples. France
needs American men almost as much
In peace as in war, and the Journal
thinks the French newspapers are
conducting matchmaking campaign.
The hearts of the French and Am
erican people were never as close
together as they are now. Our
young men in going to fight on
French soil have been impressed with
the idea that they were paying a
debt. The French recognize their
: presence as generous and boutiful
return of what they did for us when
we were struggling for independence.
There is no nationality in feminine
love for army uniform. In the minds
of the young women Of France the
American soldiers are clothed with
almost the glamor of knighthood By
old and young American soldiers are
received with the strongest feelings
of friendship.
No women on earth are more at.
o tractive than the women of America
but the women of France are equally
. SO. There will be much in the hear
' ty reception that is accorded the
American soldiers to bring the young
!. people together in way that will re
\ suit in international marriages that
are not founded on love for wealth
a a or style. The Journal we'll says:
:. And as far as America is con
cerned, we can probably spare some
thousands of our young men to SUM!
:, France with less regret than to an!
other country. Since we are givin,
them UP so generously to die TO
o France, as she gave her sons to di
for US, certainly we will begrudg
them no less to live for France whel
peace comes again
1t will take two or three yea
! after peace is made to bring Oh
= boys back again. Only about ont
: third of them went over in Amer
q lean ships and with two-thirds g
) ing in British ships the time of pas
D. sage will have been extended throug
two years. We cannot expect tn
help from the British in bringin
n. them back that we had in takin
them over, but we will have NOR
II ships of our own. With from one I
three years to remain In Europe a

that considerable number Of An

Lieut. Coningsby Dawson, who wrote

which the Y. w. G. A. is doing: "YoQ

The Y. w. G. A. is offering you Just
this chance. 1t garrisons the women's
support trenches, which lie behind the

with munitions of mercy that they
may be passed ON to US. We need
such supplies badly. Give generously
that we may the sooner defeat the

What Lieut. Dawson says of the Y.

national organizations which are com
ing together for the biggest financial
campaign that organizations have ever
headed. All the $1TO500O0O to be

300 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EvangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended. (

Commander Evangellne Booth, lead
err of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from Col William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces. whom she
sent to France over year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and charging
the war relief work of the seven or
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for drive for
funds. Each Is a vital cog In a vast
machine for human relief, and each ia
indispensable, serving its particular
elements in its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in priyation and
trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with 1t. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful
I'VE are of the common people, and
we toll on practical basis We learn
ed the lesson Of how to do it in the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
Of Britain's troops and weathered it
out to the end We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
OF America. as in other countries. trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men IL
they but had the chance.
"With 1910 trained workers at the
front. operating from 420 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause of humanity and
Liberty"

1T Is an American campaign" he
said. ats appeal is one that no

CATHOLIC BOYS JOIN

To put behind every Catholic fighter

ing the Victory Boys and Victory
Girls Earn and Give" Division of the
United Work War Campaign to raise
$17O,50O,0O0 for the boys over there"
during the week Of November l1-16.
Through diocesan. county and parish
organizations, the rallying of one
yOungster for every man who has gone
to war In every community is already
under way. BY their own earnings.
and not by contributions. 1t Is expect
ed that these sturdy little sponsors
for the boys abroad viii each raise at
least five dollars for the joint well
fare work of the Y. NJ. c. A., Y. w.
G. A., National Catholic War Coun-
ell, including the Knights Of Column
bus, War Camp Community Service,
Jewish Welfare Board, American Lii
brary Association and Salvation Army.
Boys and girls in every Catholic
parish throughout the Tnited States
are already being picked to represent
each fighting man who has left their
church for the front. In every home
that flies a service flag little brothers
and sisters, sons and daughters, are
eagerly volunteering to look out for
the share of their family fighter in the
huge joint welfare campaign for all,
the boys abroad.

First Victory Boys Work.

'Say, I'm wise to You, all right" a
Western Union messenger boy whis-
pered to one Of the directors OF the
United War Work Campaign in the
New York headquarters. The direc-
tors desk had only just been moved
In and the work of the big drive had
hardly begun.
I'm onto your stunt" the boy went
on as he swung grimy fist over the
desk; you're goin' to give us fellows
that amt old enough to go to war a
chance to earn an give to back up a,
fighter an help win the war. Listen !;
I'm in on this"
The crumpled S. bill he dropped on
the desk made him the first OF "a mil.
lion boys behind a million fighters"
who are to be lined up as Victory Boys
during the week of the drive.
There will be division of Victory
Girls, too, and every boy and every
girl enrolled will have to earn every
dollar he or she gives to the war work
fund.
