GET WRITING CRAZE
Yankee Fighters Heap Troubles
on the Censor.
When Out of the Tranche* H? "Tails
'Km About ltM In Reams
. and Reams.
r?irl8. ? The letter-writing craze has
struck the American army.
Just us soon HS he out of tin*
trenches tlrn doughboy washes up,
scurries around for peri and juiper and
sits down to tell 'em an about It, Ami
he tellx Vm In reams and reams.
"Well, let's see," he says, as he
medlthtlvely kicks his steel helmet
under his cot 'Tve got to write to tua
-s^ul pa, Kittle and Johnny Boggs over
utX^auUui, O, Then, I owe Neil John
son ? letter. And I've got to scribble
u fow lines to Uncle Abe and Aunt
Minnie. After thit I'll answer those
letters of Bill and Tom."
Wrlllutf materials? paper and en
velopes? a re not always pleiUlful
where the doughboy Is stutjoned, and
for a while It was doubtful whether
the last of bis correspondence Hat
would receive their letters, for the
supply In the small town stores was
soon exhausted. But the Y. M. <?. A.,
learning of this scarcity, soon ar
ranged to supply all contingents. It
sent out seven million sheets of writ
ing paper and some 8,500,000 envelopes
u month.
With the tremendous growth of the
expeditionary force, orders h*vve been
increased and the estimate for next
year Is 120,000,000 sheet# of paper and
60,000,000 envelopes. ?
This means that the Yanks will use
nbout 720 tons of writing materials
720 tons of news and comfort tor the
folks at home.
And when the ceusor officers stop to
consider it -they -grow weak, for it Is
their duty, along with everything else,
to Censor the letters and see to It that
the soldier uses discretion and doesn't
mention things of military Importance.
PLACARD WARFARE GOT
THE WAY OF BOCHES
With the American Army 111
Frnnce.r-It was a qulef week -
on one of our Lorraine sectors,
wkerjv Amorlcan and -German
trenches run close together. Th?>
spn came up one morning on ?
huge- placard hoisted from the
German front line and bearing
this in English :
"Welcome, ?> Yankees, of the
Blankety-Blank division. Did you
bring cofllns with yon?"
A couple of hours later this
sign. In German >Vent uf> on our
front line : '
- "No, but we brought a lot of
Hell."
- The next morning the Ger
mans opened with this one:
"Yankees, spend the day in
prayer. We kill you tonight."
And this was the answer frOin
our trenches: , '?
"Germans, give your hearts
and souls to Jesus, because
..we've got your goats."*'
Something about this sign an
gered the Boches. They riddled
It with rifle bullets and thereup
on the placard warfare was off.

America is Pledged, War or Peace, to

Only Way to Sand It It to dave It.
America la Still to Fssd Hungry

A. hundred and eighty million people

mania and Armenia are already crying
aloud to Amerloa.
Prom America food meat go. What
la sent must he saved. ~
Perhapa that is America's missio*.
Peace or no peace, trsr or no war,
the American people must keep o?
saving food.
This (s the message of the United
States Food Administration, whoae
leaders realiss that the outoome of
the preeent situation will only la
crease tlu responsibilities of the Uni
ted States, no matter how events In
Europe turn.
Millions of people la' territory that
has beeu occupied by the enemy are
In misery. Famine stalks abroad.
They must ha fed.
Under any circumstances, the
American nation is bound by the
food pledge of August. 1918. The
Allies were told: "Make your plana
for Victory."
To this Victory. America's contra
button, among other things, will be
seventeen and one-half million tone of
food. Amerloa Is bound. Ths pledge
to not broken by the signing of the
arm in tiro. . .
Tho change that has oome In the
situation has gather increased the'
burden on American resources be
cause the burden of feeding millions
of hungry, peoples who could not b?
reached before now becomes the
common burden of the Allies; and
that obligation can be lessened only
by living up, to it
There is but one way fn which sev
teoii and one-half million tons ^of
food can be got to send to Europe'to
save the live* of hundreds of thous
ands who will die from hunger tn a
famine land unless they get it. That
way is to gave It. -
It 'means intensive saving of all
food, just as.'wheat was saved in the
wheat emergency, Just as sugar was
saved in the sugar emergency. There
can be no greater folly indulged by
the American people than the idea
that because the lighting has ceased In
Europe these Is no longer any need
'tM MvCtur #?wwl
America is pledged.
Tfre nation's pledge must be re
deemed. war or no war, peace or ao
pecae.
Suffering humanity and national
honor demand it.
