Discouraging Letters Cause <Desertions
 From Army Camps

In recent statement the War Department strongly advises against discouraging letters to soldiers:
 Recent reports from com manding generals of certain Army divisions indicate that one of the fruitful causes of soldiers absenting themselves without leave is the discouraging letter from home. Such letters ire auently give alarming and exag- gerated reports of conditions surrounding the soldiers family, that some member is desperate ly ill, that all are starving, or that they are being in some way harassed. In instances such let ters have so preyed upon the minds of soldiers that they have absented themselves without leave to go home, only to find

Barracks, Ohio, last year was a member of a court martial that tried approximately 100 enlisted men for desertion from National Guard regiments stationed on the border. I believe 1 am safe in saying that at least 90 per cent of them gave their reason for de. sertion the fact that they had re ceived letters from home to the effect that wife, sister, or moth CT was either dying, very ill or in destitute lcumstances, and begged the man to come home at once. Many of the men admitted that when they arrived home they found that the writer of the letter had exaggerated condi- tions.'
 Many young soldiers, fresh from home. suffer homesickness. no matter how Army officers may try to make their surround ings pleasant and comfortable and provide proper amusements Extraordinary measures have been taken by the War Depart ment during the past year to keep the young soldier actively engaged while in camp with sports, amusements, and com forts that wholesome psychol, ogy might be sustained.

that conditions had been grossly exaggerated.
 Meanwhile, the soldier had been absent without leave-a se- rious military offense. His prob lem then became one of facing the penalty or getting deeper in to trouble by deserting. Some times mans pride or fear has led him to desert.
 Every soldier wants to re ceive letters from home. They should be frequent, cheerful, hopeful, and appreciative of the sacrifice that he is making for his country. They should be full of family incidents and cheerful home gossip. They should pro tect him from the triflng alarms and the small annoyances of ey eryday life. They should en-( courage him by giving full conf dence that his family and his friends stand behind him in the great enterprise he has under taken.
 The value of such letters to soldiers is beyond estimate. The harm that discouraging letters from home do to him is clearly indicated by reports at the Adju tant Generals Office. Here are some of the extracts from recent reports of division commanders:
 1 find, also, that many of the families of the men write to them of unsatisfactory conditions at home, sickness of relatives, and how much various members of the family wish to see the sol dier. These letters, so far as sickness, etc, are concerned. are often overdrawn, but, combined with the homesick feeling, often result in the man going without leave and finally being dropped as a deserter.

from my mothers people (my paternal
grandmother for whom | was namel,
died before | was born), and it was a
journey to get there with a gig and
horse in a two days trip. There were
six single aunts at that time in grand
mothers home. seven daughters and
my mother, the oldest, and three sons,
only one married. When the second
days trip was finished my mother said
there was a great. and joyous rush and
greeting for the coming of the new
baby. Mother had dressed me in the
best frock / had, and | was almost de-
voured with caresses. l kept one hand
