Harvest Army Moves.
The harvest army moved steadily
northward, once it was organized early
in the season. and the great American
wheat belt was covered thoroughly.
Canada's wheat was saved. and later
the great army of migratory workers
moved back into the States to gather
the corn crop. The army was not, of
course, held intact all season; it's
makeup fluctuated widely from week
to week and day to day. But tn.
ranks were always Kept closed. and
it made It's way steadily onward to
victory.
The munitions shortage was always
on hand. Army construction jobs al
ways needed men. Skilled and un-
skilled workmen alike were in con-
stant demand.

LABOR SERVICE MADE
GOOD DURING WAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. What the
United states employment service has
accomplished in its existence of less
than a year as a war organization
entrusted with the gigantic task OF
furnishing the nations labor supply
affords some measure of appreciating
the magniture of the effort this coun-
cry made in winning the war.
Ships. coal food, munitions, all were
needed in hast quantity and at once.
the manpower of the nation had been
siepleded considerably through ems
Iistment and the draft, before the
service actually was organized. All
kinds Of industries were crying for
help. Farmers needed men to oraise
the great crops that must feed Ann
erica and the allies, and factories
needed men to build the great guns
that were to blast the foe out Of
France.
Training Begins.
Last spring ships We're perhaps the
most immediate need. There were
rather less than 100, 600 shipbuiIders
IN the country. and four times that
number were needed at the start.
Carpenters, blacI1smiths, and other
craftsmen who had had experience
along lines somewhat similar to the
building of ships were brought into
the work, and the ships were finished.
The task of training these mem for the
highly specialized jobs Of shipyard
work was not small. but they were
roupded up by the employment serv-
ice and training began.
Farm labor was the next really big
problem. The farm labor organizes
tion of the employment service re-
cruited an army from everywhere and
nowhere. It took old men who in the
ordinary course of events would have
taken no part in the harvest but who
to show their patriotic devotion to the
nation, gladly returned to the harvest
fields. 1t took boys, of high school
age; and they gave the finest kind OF
volunteer service. It. t6ok ministers

kinds Who were. glad of the, chance
to get into the country, gain recreation

Where Is the
Childhood of France?

The case does not rest upon cartoons.
If you care for figures, this is the case
of the childhood Of France:
The total deaths in France in 1916
we're about 100000. Births numbered
only $4,000 The net loss in population
was $4,000, or nearly per cent of the
whole. In Paris, where 1927 babies
were born in the year ended August I
1914, only 26,179 were born in the wear
ended August l, 1918.
The American Red Cross is irving to
reach every child in France. The
"emancpated baby" cartoons are lust
one brand Of ammunition used in the
educational campaign of the Child Wei
fare Bureau in the battle to save the
children of France To this end the
American Red Cross has appropriated
the sum Of $2775, ,S77.19 for the period
ending December 81, 1918. TQ date the
American Red Cross has reached 100000
children; that is to say, there are 2O0,-
600 emancipated babies in France to-
day
The emancipated baby is not neces-
sarlly any relation to the emancipated
woman, but he insists upon having a
mother who recognizes the rights of
common sense.

lett intact, up long hill with Boches'
graves along its border, and on over a
recently mended road just west of the
Chemin des Danes, which we could see
very plainly; also Malmaison. On both
sides of the road were piles of German
ammunition, with their wicker contain
ers and helmets. In the vicinity of the
Chemin des Danes the fields showed the
heavy scars of the fight; the mounds of
tossed-up brown earth looked like the
pillows of the sea in a stiff Southwestern.
Leaning on the crest of an occasional
red-brown wave was wooden cross
marking the interment of a Boche.
Sometimes there was helmet balanced
on the upright piece. The odor of de-
caying flesh was very evident Once we
saw. the legs Of a horse sticking out of
the pillows. Chavignon, village in No
Mans Land, as we passed through re-
sembled in its sad destruction the scum
one might expect to find in the cauldron
of a witch's stew
After we got beyond the Chemin re-
glon the countryside seemed more tran
quill in comparison. There were only
ammunition heaps, splintered trees,
wrecked villages, broken bridges and
gougedout roads which were being
rapidly repaired by whole companies Of
territorials-hlaclS Senegalese and white
French soldiers. This was being done SO
rapidly that when we returned in the
afternoon the road was quite smooth
and passable.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-01

the time comes for putting away child
ish thlngs-that is, substituting his own
conscience and judgment for that of
other people-he finds that the older folk
are not willing to give up their power
and that he must fight them to be al
lowed to become man. For, unless
parents have been more wise than the
average, the road to manhood and to
womanhood lies only through rebellion.
There is no way to try wings except
to fly with them-and this is the prob
lem, the glory and the tragedy of ado
lescence.
The rebellion of the young is healthy
thing. The child who is unable to rebel
against his parents cannot rebel against
anything. He is spineless-hs person-
ality is like fluid that will take the
shape of any jar that holds it. And the
parent who tries to crush rebellion in
stead Of directing it~-who wants to
"break" the will instead of bending it
will have only himself to blame if nor
NAL self-assertiveness is either ham
mered into supine submissiveness or
nagged into lawlessness.
At the time Of adolescence, if the ell
ders have been wise, the external COM
pulcions which have surrounded the
child during his period of dependence and
submission should have become internal
compulsions, changing him from
healthy, immoral little animal controlled
from the outside into civilized human
with standards of right and wrong, COM
monty called conscience" inside. And
this Will happen unless there is an in
herent defect in the child himself, in his
surroundings or in the method by which
his standards of right and wrong have
been conveyed to him.
For conscience is not God-given nor
Unborn. 1t is not an infallible guide. 1t
is not moral instinct. 1t is a set of
habits, which are assimilated from the
environment and act like impulses. Thus
in Japan lying and stealing are not con-
demned-they prick no mans conscience
And whereas here the ordinarily consci-
entious girl feels guilty if she does not
go innocent" to her marriage, there the
situation is reversed.
Are Children
People?
So the conscience of a child will be
"normal'-that is, will reflect the stand
ards which prevail in his environment
unless there is fundamental defect in
the child himself or in the method by
which the standards are conveyed to him.
The defect in administering these
standards may lie in either too great
laxity or too great severity. Be sure

The Babies of France Are on Strike
By DEEMS WELLER

the American Red Cross, forty thousand
Of these could have been saved.
The striking babies under the organi-
zation of the American Red Cross Chill
dren's Bureau say, LET mothers obey
their babies" And there are two planks
to their platform, the Dos and the
Don'ts.
They believe in direct action. If they
don't get what they need they die Fol-
lowing are the demands which a French
artist has put on the signs carried by
this imaginative demonstration; they
are of worldwide applicability, and in
fact are the doctrines being taught in
the American Child Welfare and Baby
Saving campaigns:
DOS
l.. Nurse me yourself, at least during
the first eight months.
2. Feed me at regular periods
3. Battle me at least once a day.
a. Weigh me once week
5. Clothe me warmly in winter and
lightly in summer.
6. Let me sleep in the fresh air.
Z. Keep my teeth clean as soon as
cut them. Teeth are often the source Of
Infection.
DON'TS
l. Do not put me on bottle food un-
less the physician so orders.
2. Do not expose me to contagious
maladies.
3. Do not believe that am destined
to have measles, mumps, whooping
cough, scarlet fever and dphtheria. I
prefer to escape these diseases.
4. Do not permit me to be handled by
persons with chronic cough or throat
trouble, for these maladies are quickly
spread.
5. Do not give me soothing syrup:
pacify me with pure water
6. Do not permit me to crawl on the
floor; let me play on a mat.
Z. Do not neglect to wake me at feed
ing hour; regular feeding is as impor
tant as sleep.
8. Do not kiss me or allow me to be
kissed by other children or strangers. A
kiss is unsanitary and dangerous thing.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-01

continue and improve-the state should
have seen to it that Mrs. Chapman's
children could live in an environment
that would turn them out upright citi-
zens and not criminals OF weaklings.
But that was before there existed such
a thing as mothers pensions and before
the war had made woman power so pre-
cious and child life so indispensable that
maternity insurance and day nurseries
were part of every factory, as they are
now in France and soon should be here.
Older Brothers Stand
In the Middle
Twelve years ago a widow with chill
dren was unfortunate" and we let it
go at that. She could send her children
to an institution or she could turn them
out on the street and worry about them
while she was at work, if she liked. It
was nobody's business and nobody cared
until they got into trouble. Then the
law cared, and punished them for it,
Paul still had an older brother, how
ever, if his mother did have to be away
all day; SO the little family got on fairly
well-until the older brother was just
about old enough to help. And then he
contracted tuberculosis, as his father had
done, and, after long and expensive
illness, died.
Paul was fourteen then, and it is prob
able that from that day dated his ulti-
mate tragedy-for those pregnant, hu-
man things that we think dry and call
statistics show that the loss of older
brothers from the home circle since war
began has been a large factor in the in
crease of juvenile delinquency. Older
brothers have acquired some of the wis
dom of age and have not forgotten all
Of the things of childhood. They stand
in the middle and are able for a little
time to look both ways.
And so in the dangerous days of
adolescence-the days of strange, strong
impulse and frail control, when the fist
is quicker than the Judgment, pride
stronger than prudence, ambition than
fear-Paul fell.
He had been away from home, work
ing, and had come home without money.
He did not want to face his mother in
his worn clothes and broken shoes. So,
when two friends of his, boys, but both
older, told him that they would give him
S25 if he stood in the yard outside a GER
tain house and watched for "cops" he
consented.
They planned a robbery. They took
chloroform with them and carried re-
volvers. They were going to enter the
house, overcome the man and woman who
lived there, steal their valuablss and es-
cape, while Paul watched outside with a
revolver in his pocket.

ambitions and desires they have had TO
