American Expeditionary Forces in France

the trenches.

"When your lover kneels to propose, step

Gas soon as the weather gets warm and the

THOSE TOO EASILY WEARIED.

THESE things are coming too fast. Here
we have just finished a Liberty Loan, and
now there is War Stamp drive, with
the Red Cross drive coming soon. I have done
my share, and I am through"
He didn't say that out loud. He just thought
it; and the thought reflected itself, without his
knowledge, through his attitude.
You've got to expect some such thought as
that, and perhaps some such words as that;
and when they come, you should be ready for
them.
Red Cross drives, War Stamp drives, Liberty
Loan drives and other drives are going to come
thick and fast treading on each others heels.
from now till the war is ended in victory.
War is the business, the first business, the
one business of the nation. Everything else
must give way before it. We must fight the
war, and we must finance the war and the alb
solutely necessary relief agencies that back up
the war. These vital things have the first call
upon u.s. and if we are tempted to become wear
led by them we should get over it-for the worst
is yet to come.
Suppose your boy in the trenches should sud-
denly break out some day with something like
this: 'These things coming too fast. The
Boches attacked yesterday, and we had to re-
pulse them Today attacked Tomorrow
there will be more fighting. I have done my
share, and I'm going to quit and go home"
What would you think of your boy or any
body's boy if he did thing like that?
Yet that's the very kind of thing you will be
doing if you do not come up smiling and give
to the limit of your capacity every time your
country calls.
Your boy would be a Stacker, and probably
would be shot as a deserter, if ne said that
i loo4 ba
If you take the same attitude toward war
causes you probably won't be shct but you will
be a Stacker; and deserter just the same, and
you might as well be shot as to be thas.-Du-

Washington.-In q recent commune
cation to Secretary of War Baker, the
commander of the American expedi-
tionary forces said:
There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers in France. They
have entered this war with the high
est devotion to duty and with no other
idea than to perform these duties in
most efficient manner possible. They
fully realize their obligation to their
own people, their friends, and the
country. A rigid program of instruc-
ton is carried out daily with tradi-
tional American enthusiasm. Engaged
In healthy, interesting exercises in the
open air, with simple diets, officers
and men, like trained athletes, are
ready for their tasks. Forbidden the
use Of strong drink and protected by
stringent regulations against sexual
evils, and supported by their own
moral courage, their good behavior is
the subject of most favorable COM
ments, especially by our allies. Amer
lean mothers may rest assured that
their sons are a credit to them and to
the nation, and they may well look
forward to the proud day when on the
battlefield these splendid men will
shed new luster on American man.

A recent report made by the United

state Of Australia, includes the follow
ing
"The general scheme for the repatri.
alton Of returned soldiers contemplates
placing them upon the land. At re.
cent conference between the common.
wealth and the state authorities, II
was decided that each state would
have to find the land while the con-
monwealth government would advance
up to s2,433 to improve the holding of
each returned soldier and to procure
the necessary stock and implements.
In this state II was deemed that the
crown lands would prove too difficult
to improve to attract returned sol.
diers, and 1t was decided to purchase
large estates and divide them up into
small farms and to use the money ad.
vanced by the commonwealth govern
ment for buildings, fences and tools.
The money expended by the state In
purchasing the land, as well as the
money advanced by the commonwealth
for improvements, Is lien upon the
property and must be repaid In small
annual. payments. II was also decided
by the commonwealth to advance
money to returned soldiers who may
desire to rent land. Bills will be In
troduced into the various parllaments
at once so that this scheme can be
put into operation throughout Aus
