With “ Home-touch99 For the Boys
Hy dear Hr. Fosdlckt
The eyes of th* world are upon our soldters overseas
today not more for what they have done than for what they are
now called upon to do. Before thon lie the tasks of helping
to rehabilitate the devasted lands of France and Belgium and
of making sure that the vlotory in whloh they have so gloriously
shared shall be a permanent one.
This mean* that wo may not oxpeot soon to have them all
with us here and to greet them faoe to faoe. The postponement of
their homecoming will be often uppermost a* well In their minds
as in ours. They will yet meet and must overooms many diffi
culties without either the incentive or the exoitement lent in
the past by the sotlvltle* of war. They need our help and en
couragement now perhaps mor* than at any other time slnoe they
left borne In order that they may be Inspired and strengthened
to maintain that fineness of oharaoter, manner and conduct which
has earned for them suoh universal respect.
I believe that among all the influences which may be
focused upon this object, the strongest and most far-reaching
1* that which emanates from home letters, and I therefore urge
the mothers, fathers, wives and sisters of our soldiers over
seas to express themselves earnestly In their letter* as their
share In seeing that the high standards whloh America represent*
both hare and abroad shall be constantly upheld.
Cordially yours.

Guy Patln says a man of twenty-six,
as he might have said a man of forty-
six; there is not the least intention of
contrasting this man’s years with his
high position. William Pitt was not

thirty-five—were never taxed with
