Griffin, a Baltimore Protestant Episcopal clergyman serving as chaplain with the Fifth field artillery, the regi!ment tTint fir^d America's first shot iD the war, has written a letter to Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, a prominent BaltSuorean, which was printed in full in ;the current issue of the Manufacturers' Record, in which he discusses at length cruelties inflicted by the Germans upoD civilians and soldiers. i "1 feel," he says, 'that I express the sentiment of those who have seen and heard over here, when I say that were 11 in America today, priest as I am, I should do my best to have put to death any Boche in America or any so-called American who would apologize in any jway for what the Boche has done. "All that you have heard in America about them does not approximate the truth. There are little children right here in France with their little stutaps of hands; there were some not far from my last camp, and young men with all the fingers of their right hand cut off.

I cannot tell you what the Tommies told me they found when they drove these hell-fiends out of these positions; it is too awful even to think about I also have it on the word of one of the greatest French abbes that the Boche were especially instructed to destroy convents?and kill or outrage the nuns?and he says that all through France and Belgium are ruined convents, and that the nuns were given to the soldiers to be outraged in camps. "These are not isolated cases nor abnormal conditions which prevail here and there where troops were drunk or without restraint Go along the French or isritisii iront, ana tne oniy conclusion you arrive at Is that they ars just the ground principle of Boche efficiency in action.

Washington.?After struggling for ft long time with the knotty problem of conscientious objectors in army cantonments, the war department now announces that the difficulty has to a large degree been solved through the aid of tjie farm help specialists of the United States department of agriculture. y In the various states where there are farming communities which include sects opposed to war, such as the Dunkards and Mennonites, and where additional farm help is needed, theso places are made known to the canton ment commanders, togetner wiui a record of their farm labor needs. The plan has worked out so well that in the three camps where definite lists of objectors were compiled practically all erf these men have been placed. Camp Meade had 88, all of them now at labor on farms; 100 of the 102 men at Camp Lee have been placed and the majority of those at!

SHE Ere THE HOME TOUCH i Calls It Privilege to Talk to Boy*^ sees Tnat Tney Are wen ana Happy and That Their ( Clothes Are Whole. By ROY S. DURSTINE. Paris.?Some day the story of whatAmerican women have done over fcere?_ m m r ranee wm oe wrmeu. rwy?r will hear, then, about the women who* are cooking and baking for the American boys with their helmets and ga& masks on the shelf, next the baking: powder can. They will learn of the* casual heroines who see nothing remarkable in making hot chocolate life shacks where the rain and the snow come in on them through fresh sheHL holes in the roof. One of the women people will hearabout will be Mrs. Clara Simmons. She is as close to the front linehere as any woman is permitted to* go. For many days, during the activefighting just over the hill from her*, she was the only woman in the entirearea. That didn't bother her at all. The boys wanted hot chocolate, andS she could make it So there you are^ And there she was. She is a little bit of America, or American womanhood, dropped right down in the middle of the fighting zone. She looks more like home to tne boys tnan anytning in rne wona_ except a letter. She has no pic-^turesque ideas about carrying cultureand uplift to the soldiers. She'a. there to work for them. Sure Like the Chocolate. She works with a huge mixing bowk full of pulverized chocolate, and sever*, or eight open cans of condensed milk; on the table. On the rickety stove? where the old fireplace used tS be, ai great kettle of hot water is simmering. She stirs and pours, and poursi and stirs, till the air of the little^ shack is as fragrant as that of st candy store at home. A convoy of camions rumbles past: her door. They are almost at the end. of their journey. German territory isn't half a dozen kilometers away,.. Mrs. Simmons knows that, of course,, but she hums, under her breath, at: her work. Even before the hot chocolate is quite ready, the boys begin to arrive. They come in tin hats with gas masks hanging at their sides. Her own helmtt and mask are on the shelf behind, her. "Hot chocolate ready?" the first onaasks. "All ready," she- says, as she stirsit with her lone sooon. She fills ona* of the tin caps from the mantelpieces "Um-m-mV says the youngsters "That's good and thick. Give us. & package of cookies." He takes his tin cup and his cookies^ to an empty packing box in the corner, sits down, and feasts slowly ar$dT luxuriously. Another boy is at tha board that serves as a counter. Glves^he Home Touch. Some of the boys stop to gossips, when the edge Is taken off thefi+V????o+e onr? finnwprs. LLlil OlO UiiU "Remember Bill Johnson?* they ask* Mrs. Simmons. She does. He was the boy who always took three cups of chocolate. "He won't any more for awhile/*' they tell her. "Stopped one In the leg: last night "Oh, that's too bad!" she says, Just the way she would say it at home If she heard that Johnnie had the measles. That's the thing about Mrs. Sim* mons and snch women. She brings to the boys a constant reminder or the women they have Mt behind, of tfceir mothers and their sisters and their wiv^s. She talks in the most casual American way about things . that are neither casual nor America**. After the last of her soldiers feas . put on his tin hat and gone down ; the hill into the valleys from which , they start for their outposts, she be- . gins talking very simply about he^work. ^ "There is not a mother or wife or * ? i- ~ sister or any one 01 inese ooys wno wouldn't give all she has to be where I am today," she says. "Just think what a privilege it i? to talk to them, and to see that they are well and happy, and that their clothes are whole. Women, you know, worry most about their uncertainties.
