He's been hurt, patched, bandaged,
he's been in splints or on crutches;
his young blood and young courage
and young strength has been

can't regain what he has lost in a
hurry. He'll be fretful, talk symp-
toms, bore you all with his phyical
history. Not for long, but until he

and soul and body again.
And finally, some of you wives for
give him that he put someone else
in your place, for awhile. In loneli-
ness and distance men need women
for comfort, and when any friendly,
attractive woman is near, home
seems very far away. When he
comes back to you. and perhaps
blurts out his regret and his sur
prise at what he did, forgive him
then. It is part Of the total world
ruin Of war that so many wives find
It impossible to forgive this one
thing. But it isn't the worst offense
a tired, lonely, hungry, despair
ing man ever committed. Cruelty
and injustice and abuse Of power
these crimes leave deep scars. But
reaching out YEARLY for companion
ship and affection. when the home
affection and companionship for
which he longs is not accessible, this
is some thing to be forgiven
forgotten.
As we forgive those who trespass
against US, we all are to be forgiven
some day. Lay up in the spiritual
banks for yourself an emergency

0UR soldiers are going to
need a great many things
~ when they come back
from the battlefronts. One of
these is forgiveness.
"Forgive then!" you say in
dignantly. ''What on earth have
we to forgive them! Our heroes,
who have faced dangers, home
sickness, seasickness, boredom,
wounds, cold and heat, epidemic
and insects, and fatigue - and
you say forgive them!'
"why," cry the mothers and wives
Of America, "we're going to give
them the most royal welcome re-
turning boys ever had; we're plan
ming meals that will build up those
hospital-wasted bodies and those
limbs thinned in Jungle heatl They
are going to be lords of the earth
when they come homel"
And Just the same I say, For
give Them"
Forgive them their bitterness -
their scorn. They'll look at the
prettiness and safety of home life
with weary contemptuous eyes. It's
doggoned important, is it?-that
wedding announcements are en-
graved rather than printed? We've
got to have parsley on that, have
we, Ma? It broke up Betty's life
that I forgot that that fool girl tele-
phoned her, did it?
They Hope to Shock You.
Forgive them their politics. They
won't know what they think, but
they'll be positive with criticisms,
opinions, discussion of socialism,
communism, labor rights, rights Of
ex-servicemen, and they will take
great pains to say what they hope
will shock you. Nothing will be
sacred to them-in conversation at
least-and If you hold for the pres
ervation Of marriage ties, they'll ar
que for license and free love.
Forgive them their strangeness.
You're accustomed to the daily
home events. You love the baby so
much-having loved him all those
months for both father and mother
that the trouble that is a baby is
no trouble to you. With Tom it's diff
ferent. He looks on with curiosity,
annoyance, and even jealousy while
you care for his son. Do you have
to run upstairs every time the kid

self up that way at meals? Can't
we leave him with a neighbor one
weekend and 60 of for one Of our
old good times? You'll have to for
give him that.
Forgive them their uselessness.
To some Of them this terrible expert
ment Of war has come just at the
wrong time. It's hard to 20 back
into college, it's harder still to get
into employment for which they're
not fitted. They will drift. The big
boy just out Of uniform will come
down late to brealdast-and little
sister will look questioningly at you.
Is she supposed to hang around until
10 o'clock to cook eggs for Billy?
You will suggest to him that he
might like to see Uncle Joe about
going into the paper mill, or Cousin
Roger about a Job at the hotel. He
will nod, his mouth full of your good
waffles, but he won't 60 to see

FOOD NEEDS STILL LARGE

Large quantities Of food are still
needed, despite the happy changes
in the war situation. Recent re-
auctions in government require
ments for canned vegetables will
permit civilians to have 10000, 900
more cases from the 1915 pack than
was formerly planned, but total food
requirements are SO high that civil
ians will get about 10 per cent less
canned vegetables than from the
1914 pack. There has also been .
downward revision in the set aside
Of canned fruit and fruit juices.

include few comments on those
men who instigate strikes in wal
production industries.
For there have been many
cases during the last year
when we have heard about
shortages of supplies on Euro

the same time, read of strikes
or threatened strikes in the fac

The Bureau of Labor Statistics
gives quieting figures on the small
percentage of strikes in war indus
tries as compared with the men
who stay on the job, But army fig
ures would also show that the black
market activities in supplies which
have reached France are insignif-
icant in comparison with the sup
plies that get through. Yet when
we think that few American SOL

black market actiYities-just as we
realize that a few will die If there

penalties should be enacted against

kets we all know there are "big
shots" who are cleaning up a for
tune from the gasoline shortage
Gasoline is just one of dozens of
products sold through black mar
kets here, but it Immediately
comes to mind when we hear about
soldiers being sentenced to death
for selling it in Franco. For it
seems no more right for civilians
to get away with interrupting the
flow of gasoline to the front than
it does for soldiers to do so.
Yet in spite of the fact that
any one of US, if we kept watch
at a few of the black market
gasoline stations, could prob
ably discover the source Of sup
ply, many of the operators

caught, the sentences, usually
are so light that others decide
it is worth the gamble to con-
tinue.
One way to put a crimp in these
activities might be to provide heavy
minimum penalties for those who
deliberately engage in black mar
ket activities. l do not refer to the
grocer or butcher who may have
difficulty in keeping track of OPA
ceilings, but to the man who de-
liberately goes in for a black mar
ket racket" as a money making
enterprise. If he knew that no
judge was permitted to sentence
him to less than 25 years at hard
labor if found guilty. he might think
twice before continuing in his oc-
cupation.
STRIKES penalty
And while discussing Interrupt
tions in the flow of necessities to
the front, it seems appropriate to
