Hon Food Saving Counts

During February and March our allies in Europe were starving
to the point of licking the platter. In London, in March, there were
always 100000 or more people IN line waiting for a chance to get
food supplies. In April the foods saved by Americans began reach
ing Europe in quantity. Says Mr.. Hoover:
1.-The fortunate thing is our food got over there just when the
great spring offensive of the Germans got under way, and just when
the morale of the allied peoples was going down very fast. Our food
saved the day and we never could have shipped the amounts we did
if it had not been for the enormous savings voluntarily effected by
the American people.
1.-The American housewife is holding the line by feeding our
allies until we get an American army over there in force. If 1T had
not been for her, the war would have been over"
OF course, this authoritative information is startling and of
course, we've all got to go right on conserving food, but the point
we want to make in respect of this matter is that it is authoritative
information rs to what the peoples savings and sacrifices have ac-
tua1y accomplished. 1t is information a pound of which weighs more
than a ton of programs, plans, specifications and promises, and Civ
ing such information should in much larger degree enter into the
war arrangements policy.
The old claim that informing the American people as to what
they We done is informing the enemy is pretty much a worn out gag,
which in the case of aeroplanes, for instance, is taken a a excuse
for concealing what hasn't been accomplished with several hundreds
Of millions of dollars. Germany knows our resources, knows that
we re in it for all we re worth and very likely knows what we've ac-
complished better than does the American public. Men and women
are but grownlu children. Show a child that it has done big things
and. in nine cases out of ten, it will at once go at doing bigger
things. Mr.. Hoover declares that we saved Europe from collapse,
last spring. Very good. Wen put her beyond reach of collapse so
long as this war lasts.

Today We Celebrate
The Salvation Army.

This day marks the ffty-third an
niversary of the Salvation Army. the
organization which is doing such re-
markable work for the soldiers at the
front. The Salvation Army man or

fighting has been thickest and are
ever ready to provide things to eat
and drink for the soldier. at small
cost, or, If he hasn't the price, for
nothing. The Salvation Army is

not until 1878 that his missionary
work was organized along military
lines and assumed the name of the
salvation Army. Gen. Booth declared
that this plan and name had been
revealed" to him.
The adoption OF the military model
for a religious organization attracted
wide attention, n Gen. Booth came
in for nue. censure. and while few
applauded, many criticised and OPP

Letters From the Front

We wonder if everyone really grasps the full meaning of the
letters from soldiers and sailors which are published in the EVEN
ING NEWS from day to day. Here, indeed, is the means of keeping
in direct touch with the boys who have gone to France. While at
first glance it might appear that the letters do not contain much ac-
tual news, there is a world of meaning in what is said.
One of the most significant things about the letters is the opi-
mstic tone in which they are written and the encouragement which
they give. We here at home can take a tip from these letters and
send to the boys lover there letters of a similar character. Give
the boys something cheerful. Tell them all the pleasant things you
can think of. Whoop it up.
Wednesday afternoon we were standing on the station platform
when a train load of troops went by. They were probably on their
way to France-for the big adventure.
Were they down heartfelt Were they depressedf
No, not a bit of it.. tR
They leaned out of the windows and cheered and shouted their
~Igood-byes as if it was the grandest picnic they had ever experienced.
That's the spirit that will lick the kaiser. All of oar boys lover
there judging from the letters that are coming back home, have 1t.
Then, too, there is some mighty good advice contained in these
letters from France.
Today we publish a letter from Joseph e. Coey, who writes to
~hs family in a most encouraging manner. 1t seems that some start
ling rumors have been floating about concerning Coley and he has
beard about them. His advice concerning such rumorss is worth re-
IL tsNo news is good news, he says. "f anything happens to me
Ikou will be notified Immediately from Washington. THOSE GER
mans WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO WIN THIS WAR AND THEY
IETART THESE RUMoRS TO GET ON THE NERVES OF THE
PARENTS OF THE BOYS AT THE FRONT. YOU SHOULD
HUMP ON THESE CALAMITY HoWLERS EVERY TIME YOU
IHEAR THEM WINDING OFF,"
IL That's the kind of talk that counts. And it comes straight from
front trenches, too.
sid As Coley points out, it is not always possible for a soldier on
.e lty to write even once a week, but 'no news is good news for if
TWeythipg had happened, the word would come from Washington be-
4 re it could be received from anywhere else.
r c Therefore, don't worry, but keep writing those cheerful letters
Ia 4 the boys crave more than anything else. 1t is the one big way
