(By Mail.)- Not best sellers" but serious works Is the liter ary refreshment demanded by the American soldiers . , in France, now. that the war is oyer, and our boys are waiting to get back home. Jrhe, soldier is a serious-minded person, with decided intellectual views, all . reports to the contrary. He wants to make his way in the world. ' The American T. M. C. A. in France came to 'this conclusion when a group of 300 doughboys, when asked what they would like as "light read ' ing matter, spoke up with 'one voice, and demanded books on applied Math ematics. They were so much in earnest about it that the Y. M. C. A decided to sjart its first class in practical arts in France: B. H. Morri son, formerly an instructor in the States Teachers' pollege of Greeley, Colorado, was sent for to take charge of the class. , " The first real Impediment to intellectual research among the buck pri vates presented itself when it was discovered that there wasn't so far as any could find out, an American book on applied mathematics in all France. There were the French ones, of course, but none should be ex pected to study French and Mathematics simultaneously. It really isn't ; well to mix drinks from the fort of learning in -that way. Mr. Morri son, however, was undaunted by the absence of textbooks and volun ; teered to teach without them until the ones which were wired for im mediately could arrive from the good old U.

(By Malt) A sugar-coated American Expeditionary Force is the ideal: now being striven for in the mark-time period of the armistice and demobilization, with fighting gone and the American fighting men suddenly turned into a uniformed tourist-seeing France. Peace, as has been quoted often, has victories and one of them is. to. be the victory over-, the evil in fluences which besiege an idle army. In this campaign the Y. M. C. A. has planned t the drive and the sol diers are executing it , Incidentally, the. Y. M. C. A. has gone . into compe tition with the ,wine-ehop, as this story Will relate. J i,'' - During the period, of demobilization, the Y. M. C A. will have an even greater responsibility than it has had while the war was on. The soldiers then had the inspiration of being in the fight or backing up the fighters to spur them on. They also were ex tremely busy and their time for recre ation and for spending money was limited. But there has been a let down since U armistice was signed, and the men in olive drab are wait ing for transportation home. Idleness always means trouble and the government has no idea of dump ing hundreds of thousands of men back into the United States after they. have had nothing to do but loaf for months. To do this would be to cre ate a very unhealthy social and. indus trial ' condition in our own country. There are drills and discipline and, for many, the work of helping to put France on her feet' again. At the same time, the men have more lei sure and more chances to buy things than they had before. ' One of the most important things the Y. M. C A4 expects to do during the demobilization period is to enter into ; active competition with .the French wine shops. No, the Red Tri angle is not going into the saloon butrf- ness. it is planning to ngnt ajcoiyr with sugar. According to j medical perts, this is the best kind of amn nition to use in a battle against t more or less well-known Demon. Heavy drinkers don't care for sug and heavy consumers of sweets u ally pass up the "booze." So by p ing the soldiers with candy, chocola . chewing gum and cookies, the Y. C A. expects tq reduce the consul tion of alcohol very materially. Office up (tain In Jno. L.

M. C. A. In j the Southeastern department, which inchidea the states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisi ana, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, Prof. A. M. Souby, de partment educational director, has ad vised a plan to better prepare the. sol diers for civilian life when they discharged from the service. Under Mr. Souby's new program of educational activity. . the number f of classes in various subjects will be in creased and speakers will be exchang ed by the different camps, all of them are s discussing 'questions of importance to the men attending the classes. ' Special historical topics will be se lected for discussion, and speakers will be borrowed from schools and colleges to speak in the camps and cantonments. - . ' It is also planned , by the Y. M. C. A to keep in touch with the men even after they leave the service. This will be done by correspondence,, and will be undertaken in the cases pf illiterates and naturalized Americans unfamiliar with the English language. The city Y. M.. C. A. secretaries will aid in this work! Since the signing of the armistice the' duties of the camp soldiers are not sp strenuous, and they naturally have more time at their disposal.
