PRESSURE OF STRUGGLE FELT
Army Men Want Joffre Back at the
Front "Morale" the Problem That
la Confronting the Foreign
Belligerent, How the
Centorthlp Work.
By LINCOLN EYRE.
(Correspondent of the New York World.)
Paris. A few minutes before the
Bpeclul train bringing General Pershing
and his staff from Boulogue rolled in
to the Oare du Nord the other day a
tralnload of "permlssionulres" sol
diers on leave from the front arrived
at the same station. The "pollus,"
leaning out of their dusty third class
coaches, caught sight of Marshal
Joffre standing on the platform wult
Ing, with M. Itlbot, the premier; M.
Vlvlanl, minister of justice, nud other
dignitaries, to welcome the American
commander In chief to the capital.
"Vive Joffre 1" shrieked a "permls-
sionaire," nnd the cry was taken up
all along the line of dense-packed
cars.
'It's he who spared our lives In
useless attacks," shouted a bronzed,
bearded veteran, "we want Joffre back
at the front I"
"Yes, yes," yelled his companions,
"We want Joffre, who doesn't waste
our lives I Give us Joffre !"
The Problem of Morale.
Fortunately the cry, which could
not have foiled to reach the ears of
the prime minister as well as the mar
shal, died away In the excitement of
General Pershing's arrival. To those
who had heard, however, and who are
aware of the situation on the front and
In the interior of France today, Its sig
nificance was not lost. To me it meant
that after almost three years of In
cessant slaughter, the "pollu" has
learned to distinguish very clearly be
tween leaders who sacrifice their men
uselessly nnd those who, like the victor
of the Marne, never make n move with
out counting the possible cost In lives.
It was, moreover, another bit of evi
dence that there Is no more Important
problem among all those at present
confronting belligerent governments
than that of "morale." The spirits of
the men In the trenches, as well as of
their wives, sisters, sweethearts, pa
rents In the rear, must be kept up to
the mark. Every day Increases the
strain upon soldiers and civilians In
war-harassed nations. Tight-strung
nerves are spanning apart everywhere
In the cities and villages, fur from
the ring line, as much as In the zone
of the armies. That Is why the com
ing of Pershing and his division Is of
such Immeasurable value In the never
ceasing propaganda going on over all
France to maintain at the necessary
level France's determination to win
the war.
American officers, who have sensed
this insistence upon the greatness of
the aid to be provided by the United
States are a bit fearful that expecta
tions difficult of realization will be
aroused among the French army and
people. They know the obstacles that
He In the way of Immediate military
co-operation on a grand scale and feel
that n great mnny months must elapse
before the weight of American arras
can make itself felt In the fighting.
Allow for Frightful Strain.
"Today our principal preoccupation
must be the prevention of that lassi
tude and discouragement which, as
our enemies hope, will weaken our
national defense by corroding the Iron
of our arms," was the way Compere

must be made for the duration of the
frightful strain under which soldleri
and folk at home alike are laboring.
Discipline must be maintained, of
course, but this li not the time for
martinets.
"Without Indicating the moral state
of our troops, It would be nevertheless
vain to deny that those engaged In
this appalling couillct are morally and
physically tired. To pretend that we
are as strong spiritually as we were at
the time of the Murne Is absurd. Dis
aster Is certain to follow a refusal to
recognize the wear and tear upon the
nerves of men, and women, too, bear
ing the fearful burden of this war."
Little of the tremendous pressure
of the struggle upon Individuals Is vis
ible to the casuul observer. One might
travel through France from end to end
and never get a glimpse of It. The
soldiers one sees seem cheerful enough.
There Is bustle nnd movement In the
streets of the cities. Even In the slums
the surface of things reveuls no trag
edy. Listen to the talk of "pollus"
among themselves, however, and sit
alongside a circle of gossiping house
wives of the poorer class, and one will
soon detect the tautness of their nerves
and the weariness pervading their
thoughts.
The newspapers are silent about all
this ; firstly, because of the censorship,
and, secondly, because they necessar
ily are part of the conscious or uncon
scious propaganda for the maintenance
of morale. When Incidents occur they
print only what they are told by the
official press bureau. A paragraph like
this, for Instance, means little to a
reader not familiar with such mat
ters :
"Last night at seven o'clock on the
Boulevard de la Vallette a brawl start
ed, for trifling reasons, among five sol
diers. Some Kabyles emerging from
a nearby factory and pnssersby were
mixed up In the scuffle. The police
Intervened to re-establish order, Sev
eral arrests were made."
What really occurred, though not a
newspaper so much as hinted at it,
was rather more serious. The soldiers
who were on leave from the front,
had heard that the Kabyles, who are
Arabs Imported to clean the streets,
were to be used to repress disturb
ances among the civilian population.
They had been told so by their wives,
one of whom had been ogled by a
Kabyle. When the "polltfs" attacked
them the Kabyles naturally resisted,
and a riot ensued In which a dozen
persons were severely wounded,
This affray was preceded by an
even bloodier affair, In which a num
ber of Annamlte soldiers were attack
ed by a crowd of women nnd "permis-
slonalres" and several were killed. An
Annamlte battalion was brought to
Paris at a time when the strikes were
at their height, and the rumor spread
with miraculous swiftness all through
the city that the Anhamites had been
summoned because the French garrt
son would refuse to fire upon the
crowd In the event of a riot.
Depressing Rumors Flood City,
That there was any truth In this
may be doubted, but certainly the pres
ence of the Mongolian troops at so
stressful a period was unfortunate. An
namltes are anathema to all Parisians
nowadays, simply as a result of the
rumors and the really furious fight that
arose out of them. Yet, beyond a for
mal communique no more communl
catlve than that about the Kabyles,
there has been no mention of the mnt
ter In print.
Paris Is flooded with rumors these
days, as It has never been since the
first weeks of the war. Most of them
are depressing and doubtless a con
siderable percentage are deliberately
Inspired by pacifists and pro-Germans,
of whom there are a good many to be
found in the Greek and Spanish colo
nies. Whether they are true Is of lit
tle consequence; the Important thing
Is they are believed to a large extent,
even by persons well Informed about
the situation as a whole.
One of the minor problems con
nected with the "permlsslonalres,'
who, released for the time being from
direct discipline, have a tendency to
become unruly, is the evil that lies In
wait for them at the railroad stations
In Paris. Almost all of them pass
through the capital on their way to
and from the front, and at the sta
tions they are preyed upon not only
by merchants of vice, but by the
agents of anarchy and pro-Germans as
well, who seek to Inculcate peace-afr
any-prlce Ideas, and the desire to re
volt by spreading stories of the terri
ble conditions prevailing in the rear.
The "pollus" learn In their own homes
that most of these yarns are not true,
but on the other hand they hear a mass
of rumors which have almost the same
effect upon weaker characters, and
they believe them all the more really
because they come from their own
wives or relatives.

HELP CHEER THE JACKIES
Friends and Relatives Urged to Write
Cheering Letters to the
Boys In Training.
Great Lakes, 111. A movement to
bring a little more Joy Into the lives
of the young men at the United States
naval training station here has been
started by the Loyal Otrls of America.
This society hus Inaugurated a cam'
palgn to Impress upon the friends and
relatives of the bluejackets the lm
portance of writing them cheering let
ters.
"Don't write your son John that you
are unhappy while he Is awny In the
service of his country," Bays Miss Ger
trude Elmore, secretary of the society.
"Don't tell him thut his favorite dog
Is pining away. Tell him how envious
the boys at home are of him and his
opportunity. Tell him that you expect
him to make good, that he must make
good for the suke of himself, his home
and his country."
Mnny of these youthful sailors are
away from home for the first time In
their lives and It Is but natural that
they should feel a little homesick at
times. Letters from home written In
a cheerful vein will work wonders In
keeping "up their spirit and inspiring
them with the determination to give
their best service to their country In
Its hour of need.

Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn so It lifts
out without pain.
No humbug! Any corn, whether
bard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug Is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callous.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. . In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses but shrivels
them without even Irritating the sur
rounding skin,
Just think 1 No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying It or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order It for
