Food Administration

The work of the Food Admin.
istration is very far from being
finished. We are just starting
into a campaign that is more in
tensive than any we have yet had.
Last year. we shipped to Europe
7. 900 900 tons of food stuff. There
are now 22s. 100000 European
peoples who are looking to us for
food. No one else can supply
this year. We must ship them
&c. 900 900 tons Of food or they
will perish. We are not asked
to give, but to save food; that
they may buy until they can pro-
duce foods of their own. No
one worthy of American citizen
ship Can waste food, with the
cry of starving millions ringing
iu his ears. On. December FIRST,
a Nation wide campaign will be
begun. In this campaign, the
conservation program of the Food
Administration will be carried
to every home. A proclamation
will be read from every pulpit
and in each school house, public
meetings will be called, and for
one week, the Food Administra-
ton will appeal to our great
American people with the :slo-
gan-"t'ood Will Save the World.

London. That battles can be
won in the end only by the army
which takes the offensive is the sig
inificant declaration made by General
Foch, commander in chief of the al
lies in an important article contribut-
ed by him to the Weekly Journal, in
which he discusses the problem of the
soldier and the way to victory.
Modern warfare, to arrive at its
end to impose its will on the enemy
says General Foch, recognizes only
one MISUNDERSTANDING of the enc
my's organized forces.
WAR undertakes and prepares this
destruction by battle which brings
about the overthrow of the adversary,
discrepancies his command, destroys
his discipline and nullifies his units
as far as their lighting power is con-
cerned.
"Our first axiom must be that COM
pletely to achieve its object a battle
must not be purely defensive. A pure
ly defensive battle, even well conduct
ed, does not result in victor and a
vanquishqer. 1t is simply game that
must be begun over again.
From this it is an obvious corral
airy that an offensive, whether strated
at the beginning of an action or wheth-
er it follows the defensive, can only
give results and in consequence must
always be adopted at the finish.
ITO maintain our position is not
synonymous with being victorious.
and even prepares for defeat. If we
remain where we are and do not pass
to the offensive to fix the direction of
attack to guard against the plans OF
the enemy and prevent him from car
rying out the same maneuver, we must
undertake to carry on and sustain nu-
merous combats each with determined
aim.
"But since there remains no doubt
that decisive attack is the very key
stone of a battle, all other actions
which make up battle must be en-
visaged, considered, organized, provid-
ed with force in the measure in which
they win prepare, facilitate and guar

tack characterized by its mass, its sur
prise, it's speed, and for which in con,
sequence it is essential that there
shall be the maximum reserve force
possible of troops Of maneuver. The
reserve-that is to say the prepared
bIudgeon-is to be organized and kept
carefully instructed to execute the
single act of battle from which re.
suits are expected, namely. the de-
fensive attack"

BARNS PART IN SOCIAL LIFE
Small Boy Whose Father Possessed
One Used to BE Coed Deal
Of an Autocrat.

III simpler times, and in parts OF the
United States where simple customs
prevailed, the popular small boy Of
the neighborhood was not necessarily
the son of the richest or most promi-
nent family. but, more likely, the boy
In whose yard there was a good rain
barrel, a smooth cellar door, or barn.
The boy who would now and then,
from pure favor, or in return for mar
bles, or some other valuable cOnsid-
Grafton, permit other boys to 'hOller"
down his rain barrel, or slide down
his cellar door, or, greatest privilege
Of all, play in his fathers barn, was
the boy whose friendship was best
worth cultivating.
Some boy. in the small community
Of a generation ago, was sure to have
a father who possessed a barn, and,
generally speaking, he intuitively felt
his power, and exercised it over the
other boys ON his street or in his part
Of the town. Wherever he went, the
barn stood back of him and gave him
support and influence. He could say
and do things to the other boys that
they would not dare say or do to one
another, simply because the boy he
said or did things to could see the
barn door behind htui, open or closed,
as the case might be.
To be one of those entitled to adj
mission to the barn was to. be in the
right set; to be denied the privilege Of
playing in the barn was to suffer So
cial OStracism.
