Salvage Committee has right to be

While it is probably true that greater
results could have been expected if
the national campaign had been
launched after more careful prepara-

the fact remains that other COM

American Front, 1917

Twenty-Five years ago today the
First Division of the American Expe-
ditionary Forces landed in France.
The anniversary is worthy OF atten-
ton if only because it furnishes
opportunity to mention an obvious
principle of modern military Sci
ence-the necessity for overwhelming
multiple attack.
On June 26, 1917, the United States
had been a theoretical belligerent
for approximately eleven weeks.
During that period vast progress in
preparation for battle had been
achieved, but no actual blow had
been struck against the foe. The
situation at the time was distinctly
favorable to Germany and her allies.
With the exceptions of the operations
on the Marne in 1914 and around
Verdun in 1916, the Central Powers
had been consistently successful In
the field.
American participation in the
struggle naturally was desired by the
Allies at the earliest possible moment.

be left to cling to the finer things of life.
The day will come, let us hope, when
men unshamedly can be proud of the
finer things of life, as they have called
them. Life cannot be all heroism, even
in wartime.
Associated Heroes, Inc, may parade

they must be bit perplexed. The very
essence of heroism. one had always
thought, is that the hero is not particu-
larly aware Of the fact that he is such.
There are many mornings. even in the
summer, when a fire in the fireplace
would feel good.
This is to be secured by opening up
the house at dawn.
How many families indulge in this?
Somebody. of course, has to go around
and heave the windows up.
Every family, no doubt, has some such
active and uncomplaining person.
The windows and .doors are thrown
open, particularly on the first floor, and
then the cool air of the morning starts
coming in.
BY breakfast time, every downstairs
room is cool and balmy-and soggy.
Often there is so much moisture in
the air (at least in the suburbs, beneath

that it might be possible to cut it.

We'll, one of the best things to do is
to dry out the air by lighting a fire in

Your friend in the next column, Mr..
