(By mail) If Am erica could know France today most likely American young men would flock to har aid by hundreds on every trans-Atlaatlo boat. The pity ot those scores ot villages behind the lines entirely stripped of able men, with many of the women In deep mourning as they carry on the work Of departing soldiers, would appeal more strongly to the pure American than miles of recruiting (rasters. Hop Into a military auto and go tor a tour behind the fighting lines, over the ridges from which the wide landscape unrolls Itself In Its spring splendor. The ride will convince you that the young men of the Unit ed States have before them duty that can't be shirked without dis honor. The car drawa up at a railroad barrier where stands an elderly sol dier of France, disabled In the war and now on light duty. He passes the car and you roll Into the main street. Here are women driving farm wagons, women herding sheep, women carrying burdens that would cause a strike of the moving-men's union back home. Children may be seen through the cottage doors, as suming the burdens of -housework. Women and children, no men, except the disabled. It la the war. Beyond the village your car mounts a ridge. Miles of field are under cultivation. - Women are fol lowing the ploy or lawklng down the ridges with one arm swing as they scatter seed from a bag. Women pass by on the road, leading term horses. That is a santple and typical or what la to be seen. The French are stole but they , do need American help to whale the Roche. Their dis illusionment If America should fall would be hard to picture.

If It Is destroyed, then Tommy will have another score to setUe with the Boche dynamiting squad. Before the town Is a flat field of more than a mile. Underfoot are patches of dandelions. It Is quiet and peaceful aa a May day In Iowa. Overhead an aeroplane drones Ilk a lasy bee In Its patrol along the sky. Suddenly a battery wakes up at a vague spot and the shells make dsrk spots against the haxa on the German horlion. The TJoche bestirs himself, evidently trying to find a British gun. His gun thumns far sway, there Is an Interval and then the shuttle Is heard gradually grow- Ing louder. "Here cornea one." says s Tom my. The shell drops a quarter of a mile away. "Dud." says Tommy. Boche throwa lots of duds."
