WRITE! LETTERS THAT CHEEK
Much la said about the Talue of
cheerful letters from the people at
home to their soldier relatives and
friends. Less Is heard of the value
of cheerful letters from soldiers, and
there seema to be quite as much
need of such comment.
The civilian morale needs sustain
ing Just as much aa the military mor
ale. It Is the backbone of the whole
organism, and It must be kept erect
If the whole body is to wage success
ful warfare.
When a soldier writes home that
"ha Is Just in from the battlefield
and never'expects to see home again'
the effect upon the mother, sister,
wife or sweetheart who gets that let
ter Isn't . encouraging. . Depression
ooxes out from such letters Into the
general home atmosphere in clouds
which can hardly be dissipated.
As a matter of fact, it doesn't seem
to be soldiers who have seen much
actual fighting who write these blue
letters. It Is the lads who have been
out In training fields for a short
pace and who wish to be thought
leroes and are making bids for sym
. pathy and glory.
The boy in tranlng camp who
writes bitterly of the "terrible hard
ships" he has to undergo is also cul
pable. He "had to walk 12 miles
carrying a pack of 60 pounds, and
sleep in wet clothes, and it's just aw
ful the way they make us work."
' What did he expect? Is he not in
camp to learn to undergo hardship
without being hurt by It? On a
eamplng expedition he would do as
much or more, and brag for years of
, the fun he had doing It.
These boys do not mean to fright
en or make miserable their people at
home. Half the letters of this kind
are written proudly or humorously.
But the written word does not carry
with it the Joking tone, the twinkle
of the eye. The written words are
flat and capable of differing Interpre
tations. The boys, therefore, should
be careful of their letters.
It is up to each boy to remember
that his people are anxious enough
about bis welfare and his real dan
gers. . He should not add to the cup
one' drop of artificial worry. If he
