Letters from "Our Boys" in Overseas Service

From Lieut. I. D. McCoy. France, November 7, 1918.

Dear Herb: I suppose you think I have been a long" time fulfilling my promise to write to you, but the fact is I have writ ten practically no one except Mrs. McCoy. I t has been a grand rush. for me from the day I en- tered the Medical Officers' Trainin~ Camp.

I was supposed to have a new months' course there but it was cut shm't and I was ordered to Camp Beauregard, La., to the 39th Division

.about half of which had at that time embarked. I t was my first trip t~.- Louisiana so it was quite interestino~'. especially New Orleans with its un- derground water ways and above- ground grave yards. I was in Louisi- ana the lat ter par t of July and the, first of August, so needless to say I did ~ot find the weather chilly, a~(! another .... feature o'f tha t state that gave me Kreat and also lively interest w a s the famous Louisiana mosquito which ranks predom'inant i~ ' the mosquito family. This lad's proboscis is in sect ions-- i f the first section does not get a response he simply couples

Field Hospital Section, each having four companies with a persone!t of about 900 men and officers.

The first thing I was ordered to do on repor t ing to the Director of the Ambulance Section was to report to the Transportat ion Quartermaster as Train Quar termaster and i was given the task of assembling a troop train for our section. To one absolutely unacquainted in a camp la,'ger':than a smalt American city, this was a hot job. Our train was n i adeup of fifteea Pultmans, six baggage and one cook ~ar. The cook cat" had two army field ranges, (which had t 0 be in- stalled) and rations .to last us to the port of embarkation. All this material had to be drawn from the Quarter- mas te r Department. On the tr ip I had to go through and insPect the t r a in twice daily and arrange by tele- g r a p h our st op.~ fo~,, ice ~n3 water. This would all have been very easy for an army man but it made a raw recrui t a t - t imes anxious, however, we got to our port of embarkation af ter

By J. W ,

Dear mother, when I read each tender phrase, Each throbbing line of love you wri te to me,

My hear t grows sad, and oft I count :the days o Until at last I shall sail o 'er the sea Back, back to you and home and all I love,

And once I cursed the fate that "placed me here. But, lo! I caught a vision from above

i That steeled my hear t with patience, mother dear, ! { Before m ~ thoughts were dark ~vith fancied wrongs,

Of plans miscarried and of work undone, .~ I heard fa in t echoes of the old home songs

And glimpsed your loving faces, one by one. I knew your t r o u b l e s ~ t h a t I could not ease---

- I suffered at the worry in your heart. longed to rest my upon your I head knees

And feel my bit ter ~onelinesS depart. To me-the war had brought out bi t terness;

.~ Brought d i sc ip l ine~tha t cut me to the r a w - - -~ And acts unjust that promised no redress ~"

Beneath the changeless mili tary law, All through the days I heard the homing-call;

I saw your pleading eyes and heard your voice. .~ t prayed to come. I prayed to cheer you all " And in reunion let our hearts rejoice. .~

I All useless seemed the changeless game we played .~ Of endless labor, unremit t ing drill.

It seemed 'tv¢outd be far bet ter had I stayed ~" At home with you, who love and need me still.

And then i caught a vision from the skies

i I saw the reason for our sacrifice, Of why we fight and suffer: and are sad! =

-~ And, seeing, lo[ my heart grew strong and ~:tad; That I was in the ranks to fight mad die,

If need be, for the millions yet unborn! I saw the Belgian women as they lie,

The spoils of Hunnish lust, undone and torn! ~ Their children lifting mutilated a~-ms

And babies caught upon the bayonet; Their aged mothers, slaving on the farms -~

To feed the German hordes unconquered yet[ i I saw the helpless sinking in the waves,

While German sailors laughed to see them die;

i t saw a row of new-made baby graves And distant aircraft slinking in the sky;

I saw the towns of desolated France, The fruiting trees destroyed in senseless hate! ~"

• Oh, mother, these I saw as i n s trance, And others tha t my lips dare not relate!

Oh, think if we had lived in Belgium t h e n ! If France had been our h o m e ! Oh, God on High,

i To picture You the toy of brutish men, ? Our home destroyed, my loved ones lef t to die!

i I s e e ~ I see at last the reason why We must forget the little things of life

And dry our tears and stifle every cry, ¢~ Whatever pain may issue from the strife, i Why we must battle on, with ne 'er a. thought ....

But Victory, nor stop ~o count the cost, _~ Until a sweeter Liberty is wrought

From out the old, which was so nearly lost!

i , i My mother, cheer your heaFc and dry your tears, For 'afterwhile, God willing, I'll return.

We sacrifice to-day that, thro(~.h the yea r s , - We may enjoy the peace for which we yearn.

Forget all cares, forget a l l m i n o r things; To-day we labor and to-morrow rest!

~" We fight for every mother as she sings Her babe to sleep upon her throbbing breast!

We batt le for the Womanhood of Earth, For Liberty, for Honor and for Right!

Be proud, oh, mother dear, that you gave birth ' ~-~ To one who lived to enter such a fight! .¢ Note--The above poem is taken from the New York

The contr ibut ion made by the pr~- d a t e r s of this count ry to the war pro- g ram as applying part icularly to an~- real i'ood products is i l lustrated by the following :

Reports compiled by the U. S~ De- pa r tmen t of Agr icul ture indicate an increase in cat t le of 10.238.000 head and 12,441,000 l~ogs. These figures were comptled to J a n u a r y 1 last.

In this period there was a decrease In sheep of 819,000 head. The indi('a- l ions are that this decrease will show an increase, according m 'recent reports.

s ince J a n u a r y 1 unofficial informa- tion indicates an increase in hogs of not less than 8 per cent. and not more than 15 per cent. as compared, with one yea r ago. w i t h ~n h~crease i~ the average weight.

Following the request of the U. S. Food Adminis t ra t ion for an increase In hog production for market ing in the fall of 19I:8 and the spring of 1919 the increase may yield not less than 1,600,o 000,000 pounds more of pork products than were avai lable last year. With- out this increase the shipping program a r r anged by Mr. Hoover regarding an- imal food products would have been impossible.

The dressed hog products during the ~hree months en~Hng September 30, 1917, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds, while for the cor responding months of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1,277,599,000, an increase of over 374,- 000,000 pounds for the quarter.

During the same period for 191.7 the., cecords of inspected slaughter of dressed beef showed" 1,263,000,009 pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds for the three month period et~ding September 1, this year.

Has t h e r e eve r been an hour l ike t h e one in which we a re living.? An old w o m a n s tand- ing on one of t h e busies t corners in a la rge ci ty w h e n the ce lebra t ion was a t its he igh t r epea t ed over and over, " T h a n k God, thank God," as she wit- nessed the wild scenes of re joic ing. She expressed t h e sen t imen t s of ev- e ry t rue pa t r io t . We do not wonder a t the w a y s in which men and w o m e n are t r y i n g to express the i r joy. But, the rea l Chr i s t i an pa t r io t s a m o n g us will t hank God and recognize the need of immed ia t e ly mobil izing the fo rces of the Christian church, for the ring- ing of bells, and the blowing of whis- tles and noisy parades will not heal the world's wounds nor bring in the era of international good will.

Let us show our gratitude by mani- festing toward God and men the spirit of thanksgiving. Many people do not realize that these blessings com~ from God. The iudividual thinks he is the producer of his own good. The nation considers the ind~[stry and genius of its people as the caflse of its progress and greatness. The cause who made such causes possible is ig- nored. The phi losophy of t h e m a r v e - lous h i s to ry of our na t ion is God.

M a n y of God's g r e a t g i f t s a re b rough t to us by h u m a n hands . I t is not enough to t h a n k Him who is the u l t ima te source of all our b less ings: His h u m a n a g e n t s deserve our 2~rati - rude. I f you s t and on the shore and watch the r i v e r e m p t y i n g into the ocean, you a r e no t capable of apprec i - a t ing its b e a u t y or its service. I t is not sufficient to know t h a t somewhere in the f a r hills m igh t be found its source. To be able to sing the song of the r iver, you mus t have fol!owed its course; t hen only can you under - s tand i ts m y s t e r y and its cha rm and p roper ly e s t i m a t e its service to man- kind. At th is t hanksg iv ing season we need to th ink ser iously before we thank generous ly . The Doxology cannot well be sung nor the t h a n k s g i v i n g p r a y e r be p rope r ly phrased and com- prehended unt i l we have considered our debt to those who have m a d e possible the d is t r ibut ion of the Grea t Provider ' s gif ts .

I n g r a t i t u d e is one of the g r e a t sins t h a t pe rhaps we have commit ted . I t m a y be because i t is so easy- r -usua l ly it consists m doing nothing. A child can let the fire go out. This is one of the wors t %rimes in the big black cata- log of wrong doing. This sin is t he broad h i g h w a y to envy, ha t r ed and malice. We have no desire to be bru- tal. As a m a t t e r ,':f fac t we tell our- s.elves we r ea l ly did app rec i a t e the kindness, and we only did not t h ink to say how much we felt. But in such a world like this wi th i ts rea l sorrows, with its heads t h a t ache and its hea r t s t h a t b reak , wi th its humi l ia t - i~g sickness, pa in and dea th , why leave unexpres sed the kindly though t , re:said the g rac ious word, which had been a r a y of sunl igh t in a world of

Upon this spirf t of service and sacrifice will depend Eurol6e's fa te in the m o n t h s to come.

as equ iva len t ' t o about seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person in the country . Th i s result , accompan ied by co r re spond ing savings of barley, oats, rye and o the r grains, is s h o w n by repor ts f rom 33 grain s ta tes to the U. S. Food Admin is t ra t ion . Other s tates , a l though not p repa red to fu rn i sh deii- nite f igures of conservat ion in the grain fields, repor t great ly reduced harvest losses.

This rural food saving ach ievement , accompl ished in scarcely six months" time, was in direct rospOllSe to re- quests by the Food Adminis t ra t ion , which asked fq rmer s and t h r e she rmen to reduce ha rves t losses f rom about 3¼ per cent.--- the es t imated average in normal t i m e s - - t o the lowest possible min imum. Count ry grain thresh- ing commi t t ee s carr ied into every grain g rowing commm~ity the official r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s for accompl ish ing the resul t s desired.

In n u m e r o u s instanc:es drivers~ of racks with leaky bot toms were vent from the fields to repai r the i r equip- ment and f r equen t ly bad o rde r thresh- ing mach ines were s topped unt i l the cause of was t e was removed. But In propor t ion to the number of persons engaged in g a t h e r i n g the na t ion ' s grain crop, cases of compuls ion were com- para t ive ly rare . The Food Admin i~ t ra t ion freely a t t r l bu te s t h e success of the gra in th resh ing campaign to pa- t r iot ic service by farmers , thresher- men and the i r crews. Incidenta l ly grain g rowers of the Uni ted S ta t e s are many mil l ions of dol lars "in pocket" as a resul t of the grain saved.
