BE NEIGHBORS WITH FRANCE.
France has lost two and a half
million of her population. Germany
held six per cent of the territory of
France but it was the very heart of
French industrialism and manufac
turing. This region, before the war,
paid one-fourth of the revenue of
France. It is now laid waste. The
mines cannot be reopened for years.
The machinery of mill's is destroyed.
The French arc industrious, but
they have not now the means to
exercise their industry.' They must
have railroad equipment and shop
equipment. They must have building
material. They must have the labor
of engineers and technical men.
The French ..today are just as one’s
country neighbor is when a cyclone
has destroyed his home. After the
cyclone has torn a farm to pieces, the
neighbors gather and, without much
price, rebuild the house and barn.
They set up the fences and make it
so that the*victim can resume his op
erations. We must be France’s good
neighbor in her hour of victory and
suffering. We must go back to our
ioncer days and get the spirit that
was manifest in co-operative log-roll
ing, house-raising, corn-shucking and
wheat harvesting.
We must be “neighbors” with our
their brothers. We must divide with
French fellow -citizens. We must be
them. They have poured out their '
blood for us, and we must pour out
\
our energies now for them.—Com

TELLS ABOUT “Y”
WORK IN FRANCE.
- *
(Continued from page J).
' at once to the front, and there was '
no question about my going. The
‘Y’ does not -follow the troops—-it
goes with them. We hiked over the
roads of France, and found much to
I do along the way. Food supplies
were hard to obtain, and there the
‘Y’ came in. Cakes of chocolate,
were given to the tired and hungry
boys, and as one of them remarked,
‘gave them a new lease on life.’ ”
The battalion’s first experience in I
the line resulted in heavy losses, and
there was an opportunity for service.'
Working with the medical corps, we
were able to assist in giving first aid
to the wounded, and in disposing of
the dead. It is also .a part of the ‘V
man’s work to cheer up the boys
along the way.
“That isn’t a hard matter, for tha-%
average American doughboy is usU»^'«Ji
ly a cheerful individual. I recall
that we were hiking through the mud
and rain—it always rains in France—
the mud came up over our ankles,
and it was as dark a night as one has
ever seen. All at once we heard the
first gun of a big American offen
sive. A lad shouted to his pal,
‘Cheer up, Sam—it’s all for democra
cy,’ ‘Sure,’ yelled Sam, ,‘we’ll make
this a fit place for democrats .to live
in’—Sam is an Arkansas boy. .
The ‘Y’ man never has a minute to
himself—there is always something
he can do for the boys—someone of
them to talk of home and the deeper
things of life. He becomes a warm
friend of nearly every chap in his
battalion, and when, after a battle,
he can help the wounded, and assist
in giving a Christian burial to the
dead, and still serve the boys in the
line who are ready to make the su
preme sacrifice, he feels that it was
well worth his while to cross the
ocean and join the forces of the asso
ciation in their good work.
The work in the Third Division
was well arranged by the Y. M. C. A. "
that there was no neea oi tne otner
war work organizations, but in oth- ,
er Divisions the Knights of Colum
bus, the Salvation Army, and others
are doing wonderful things. The
Salvation Army lassie with her
•doughnut^ and coffee is making a
wonderful hit with the boys.
“I hope that there will be no slump
in the War Work campaign because
the war, the actual fighting has
ceased. The need is even greater
now for all the war work organiza
tions. There will he much leisure
time for the boys now—we cannot
hope to have them ' ark with us for
a long, long time-—tl..1/ will need
looking after more than eve- before,
and it is up to the people at home to
see that the necessary funds are
raised to support the organizations
that are doing such a noble work.
Our boys will come home cleaner and
better for having gone over, provided ■
the home influences supplied by these
agencies can continue until the last
lad comes marching home. Arkan
sas has always done her part and
more in all the war drives—I know
she will not fail in this critical time.”
