TURN THE BOYS' THOUGHTS
HOMEWARD, SAYS FOSOICK,
ASKIKG CO-OPERATION
Washington. (Special.) Just be
fore leaving for France to superin
tend the demobilization activities of
those organizations which recently
took part In the United War Work
Campaign, Raymond B. Fosdick,
Chairman of the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities, was Interviewed
with regard to the present situation of
nr overseas forces.
"The problem presented by the
gradual demobilisation of more than
two million men three thousand miles
from borne is one which will tax all
our social resources," said Mr. Fos
dick. "It Is above all a morale prob
lem, and It must be faced as such, with
the full co-operation of families and
friends here In this country, If it Is to
be solved successfully. Every one who
has a son, a brother, must help.
"While the war was on our boys
were fully occupied; they were still
filled with the spirit of adventure,
looking forward rather than back.
Now, however, the fighting Is at an
end. They are going to remain, most
of them, mifny months doing work
which will be neither exciting nor
particularly Interesting. They will get
lonesome, bored and terribly home
Sick. "The 1170,000,000 raised In the re
eent United War Work drive Is to be
sed precisely to bridge over this pe
riod by providing recreation and
amusement But no amount of mere
money expended in such a way will be
-enough. What these boys really wont
Is not diversion, but human Interest
and sympathy. These things express
ed in letters from home will warm
their hearts and create a home at
mosphere around them, even while
they are absent from the family circle.
"Such letters may be a very neces
sary sheet anchor to windward in the
case of some boys. The thought of
some one waiting for them, counting
on them, will more than anything
else, make them hold back and think
twice before plunging into situations
which might mean harm and unhap
plness for them.
J'U.'e. have, raised the cleanest army
in the world. We have kept It clean.
We hope to bring It back as clean and
strong as it was when it left us. But
while we believe our soldiers will
stand the present test the hardest of
all In ' some ways s bravely and
successfully as they have stood every
other test of their manhood and en
durance. It Is our duty to give them
all the help we can.
"This, as I bave said, can best be
rendered by means of letters which
will begin now, at once, not only to
satisfy their home longings, but to
turn their thoughts from tasks already
' accomplished In the long years of life
ahead of them."
HOME FOLKS MUST HELP.
Washington. (Special.) The War
Department Commission on Training
Camp Activities has hit upon ?n Im
portant and entirely new Idea In the
"Letters-from-home" plan Just an
nounced. Pull the boys through the most try
ing period of their service by writing
the right kind of letters, letters full of
the home feeling, the mother feeling.
This appeal Is made to mothers, fa
thers, sisters and sweethearts by the
War Department It Is hoped that mil
lions of Inspiring letters will be writ
ten the week of December 15, deslg
njited as "Letters-from-home" week.
Pulpit and press are co-operating to
make a great success of the plan.
OEMOCRACY VS. AUTOCRACY.
"There Is no royal road to
food conservation. We can only
accomplish this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element In proportion to Its
needs. It is s matter of equality
of burden."
The truth of this statement,
made by the United 8tates Food
Administrator soon after we en
tered the war, has been borne
out by the history of our ex
ports. Autocratic food control
In the lands of our enemies has
broken down, while democratic
food sharing has maintained the
health and strength of this coun
try and of the Allies.
By Reducing Consumption People ef
the United States Averted
Famine at Heme In Spits
ef Lew Supplies.
The fad that the people ef the
United States were able to reduce by
tors thaa one-hilt rnlUloa loos tbetr
July, August, September sad October
consumption of sugar proves eocds
stvety that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened aad that the
country as a whsle stood ready to fol
low the Injunctions of the Oovernment
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 400,000 tons per month,
a total of 1,000,000 for the quarter
year.
In July, srhen our sugar stringency
began to retch Its height, consumption
was reduced to 200,000 ton a In Au
gust only 825.000 tons went Into dis
tribution snd In September only STv,
000 tuna In October the distribution
fell to 230,000 tona
If the general public had failed to
observe the Injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely Impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be s mere lux
ury In the American diet
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre
dominantly as this reduced consump
tion of sugar. By It we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops Wv.re In sight
Now the nation Is in a position so
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of siiKar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield, can maintain Its recent re
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to Increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our coiitlmu-d sharing with them
through limiting our own consump
tion. AMERICAN 6PIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.
In the light of succeeding events It
Is Interesting to lecnll the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun
try had been In the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Purls.
"Even though the situation In En-,
rope may be gloomy today," be de
clared In a public statement, "no
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained In every di
rection need bave one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend lUelf
in these United States."
LOYALTY IN LITTLE
THINGS LAST PROOF !
OF PATRIOTISM
Americans without murmuring cut j
their sugar allowance from four
pounds a month to three and then as
long as need be to two pounds for loy- i
alty's sake.
Food Will Win the World.
America earned the gratitude of al
lied nations during war by sharing
food. America under peace may win
the world's good will by saving to
share.

America's Pledge of Food
Gave Heart to the Allies
In Their Darkest Hour
Whatever Is necessary America win
send. That was America's pledge to
the Interallied food council. And be
cause the American food army bad
hitherto made good they took heart
and went forward.
Farm enterprise and much soft corn
Increased pork supplies, food conser
