the country already have been de-
nuded of fifty percent of their a
valuable labor, and are about to be
fnrthur denuded, with the result
that the farmers cannot harvest
their crops without the help Of a
large membership of the Boys
Working Reserve, w. E. Hall, Nat
ional Director Of this organization
has issued the following letter,
urgently appealing to the school
boys of Louisiana between
the ages of sixteen and twenty
years, who will be able to do farm
work, either ON their parents

ITO the High School Boys of

My dear friends:
The u. S. Boys Working Re-
serve in an organization that is
endeavoring to mobolize the high
school boy Of this Nation for pro-
aductive work in this time of nat
ional crisis chiefly upon the farms
Already the farms of the country
have been denuded Of fifty per-
cent Of their hiterto available
farm hands. They are about to
be furthur denuded. 1t is pos
itively certain that the farmers
cannot harvest their crops with
out the help of the members of the
u. S. Boys Working Reserve.
We are therefore applealing to
the schools, to the boys, and to
their parents to answer the Gov
.ernment's call and to permit TIE
boys to go to the farms in orde'.
that the harvests Of the country
may be garnered and saved, and to
feed our civilian population and
our fighting men in France.
This release is thoroughly fea
sibhIif the schools will awake as
many Of them have awakened, to-
date their organization to it.

possible way in maintaining the
education and training ofAmerican1
youth. It is 1rsing it's every en-
deav or to protect American youth

The greatest military achievement
.of the war was the raising Of stu
.pendous army in America for over
.seas service, the mobilization of I'M
trained fighters, the training of these
millions and getting them to the front
The operation Of the selective draft
system was so successful that looking
backward eighteen months one would
say the thing was PRACTICAL impos
sible. Only its actual achievement
make the thing possible to believe

.America amazed herself with this ac-
accomplishment, finding the thing pos
.sible. only as the possibility of it de-
.veloped rather than conceiving the
thing in its entirety and then attempt
ling to do Il.
. How to raise the army was the first
consideration. The war had been 60
ling in Europe for nearly three years.
The size bf the armies engaged was
such as 10 stagger the imagination.
Each belligerent had millions and mil
lions of men actually in the field, ac-
:tualy on the firing line. Each had
millions more in training. Each was
recruiting millions more,
/. From 100000 to 100000
d. When Arnerica got in, out of its
more than f00.000000 people, America
(. had an army Of less than 100000 men.
/. In past wars, notably the Spanish
Z American, men had responded to the
call for volunteers with such avidity
that II became necessary to check the
;cnlistments. But the volunteer sys-
, tenn was essentially unfair when q
great war had to be fought 1t put all
the burden on the ardent patriots, the
;nation's best and put a premium ON
Sinking and Stacking.
. Enrland's reliance on the volunteer
system had ben forced to give way TO
consumption. and as in many things
having to do with Americas part in
the war, the American government
learned from England
Efficiency to the nth power was the
watchword Germany had an efficient
army: hence ii had swept everything
before It until Belgium was all but en-

had been threatened. And Germany's
efficiency at the front and back of the
lines was such that the world stood
aghast at the peril Of all free nations.
The question was threshed back and
forth at Washington. Conscription
had left its stigma from civil war days.
Certain senators and congressman
fought the proposal tooth and nail It
would not do they said to "conscript"
men to fight the Armageddon of free

 DRAMATIC SWEETNESS
 The virtual ending of this great est of conflicts has come with dramatic swiftness. Four months ago today, the German military power apparently was at It's height. The unchecked forces of the enc my had battered their way through the French and Belgian lines until Paris was in danger and the Brit ish fighting with their backs to the wall to prevent themselves from being forced to sen. Late in July the world was thrilled with the news of an allied counter attaclx between the Aisne and the Marne. The Germans were hurled back along the whole sector and since that day the victorious efforts of the allies has been maintained.
 The entrance of America into the struggle, with her vast resources of men and materials, is conceded by the allies to have turned the scales. One of the most important

effects of this country's act was the heartening to an enormous ex- tent of the wearIed allied nations and a corresponding deterioration of German morale. Exhaustion of German raw materials and years of semi-starvation assisted In the pro- cess of beating down the enemy in n submissive frame of mind.
 GENIUS OF FOCH
 It is also significant that the es- tabIishment of allied supremacy in the field almost synchrOnized with the unifcatiOn of military control and the appointment of General tnow MarshaD Foch to the post of supreme command. Military com mentators without exception lay stress upon the importance of iead- ership and the genius of Foch In stemming and finally turning the tide.
 Among the individual leaders, aside from Foch, whose names stand out most prominently, are Marshal loire, who saved France In her darkest days of the summer of 1914; Field Marshal Hnig, the British commander; General Petain, at the head of the French fOrcesy General Diaz, who, on the Italian front. beat back last summers great Aus trian offensive and later tore the Austrian armies to pieces in n few weeks, and General Pershing.
 On the German side are Field Marshal yon Hindenburg, com paratively obscure officer, who leaped into worldwide fame by his defeat of the Russians in 1914, and

GERMANY FALLS LAST
 The German empire was the last of the great autocracies whose fall marks the real significance of the war. In Russia. Austria Hungary and finally In Germany irresponsi- ble power gave way before the ir- resistibIe forces of democracy. Germany, holding on to the last, kept up the hopeless struggle until Field Marshal yon Hindenburg's prophetic words, early i'm the war, came true. The side with the strongest nerves, said he, would win. It is the crumbling of the home front which made it impos- sibIe for Germany, notwithstand- ing her great armies In the field, to carry on any longer.
 The collapse of Germany brings the eclipse of the German idea of the state, as opposed to the doc- Urine of individual rights, to which the nation clung with hardly a dis senting voice until recently. Under this regime there was developed n nation of which militarism was the embodiment, which murdered and plundered, needless of the rights of the individual. and made terrorism matter of studied policy. This terrorism was directed not only against individuals, but against na- tions, not only hostile nations, hut those with whom Germany was of ftcfally at peace. It's system of es- pionage, corruption and violence extended everywhere. It was exem- phfted by the plots carried out in this country under direction of the
