FRANCE BUCKLES
DOWN TO WORK
Courage and- Jovousness Is
Marked Even in Darkest
Hours
Paris, April 26.—The courage, the
jovousness of France, has been the
aspect of the war most remarked by
Jesse Benedict Carter, director of
the American Academy of Rome,
Who has been visiting provincial uni
ftrsities in France as lecturer for
the Hyde Foundation.
"Nowhere have 1 found any lack
of joy, any lack of willingness to
work for victory," said Mr. Carter.
"The joyousness of France in this
moment of crisis is not the super
ficial thoughtlessness of those who
are afraid to think. It is the calm
happiness of those who cannot fail
and who know that they cannot fail
because they are seeking after those
things which are not of the earth
and must therefore continue for that
very reason because, without them,

THURSDAY EVENING,
the earth would become a mad
house. The greatest things are al
ways simple and the French to-day
are simple as Abraham Lincoln was
in our Civil War.
"There is no hatred even for the
German, there is instinctive abhor
once, but no wasting of words over
symtoms and acts which belong In
the realm of pathological psychol
ogy. Common decency draws a veil
over these things and leaves them
to the physician who at the end will
doubtless write the verdict and give \
his full skill to drawing up "the post- i
mortem;' meantime it is day and we !
must work in the day while our |
strength and our courage is with j
us.
"Of course there is a natural ob- :
jectlvity about any people engaged i
in a great work. They forget them- ,
selves in the enormous Importance I
of what they are doing. This is na- j
ture's anaesthetic.
"In a small village 1 was in the
Mayor's office looking at the notices
on the walls, 1 believe two sheets of
paper containing the various cita
tions of a young man who had been
mentioned in September, 1914, and
several times thereafter, receiving
the t'roix de Guerre and finally dy
ing heroically in October, 1916. 1
said to the Mayor: 'What a beauti
ful career! Did you know this boy?'
'The answer came perfectly calmly,
accomplished by a smile of deep ap-
preciation: He was my son. He
was a brave boy, and only 20.'
"The Mayor smiled very thought
fully as he said these last words and
turned back to his business which
happened to be the collecting of dog
taxes, but 1 dtd the weeping for him
and wondered as I looked out on the
little village square so that he would
not see me wiping my eyes, how
anyone could doubt for a moment
that those who had conquered them
selves as these people have could
I fail to conquer those who had lost
i all self-control."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
PUBLIC KITCHENS
TO SAVE FOOD
England Tries Communal
Plan to Avoid All Pos
sible Waste
London, April 26.—Communal
feeding will be established on a large
scale in London this month, under
the direction of the Food Controller.
The kitchen of the largest hbtel in
laondon will be utilized for prepar
ing the food, which will be distribut
ed over a wide area by means of lo
cal depots.
The intention at present, Is not so
much to provide cheap food for poor
persons, as to provide economically
prepared food for all classes, the
idea being thus to conserve available
supplies. Mrs. Pember Reeves, wom
an director of the Food Controller's
office, defined the purpose of the
new move as follows:
"We shall have a central kitchen
J where food can be cooked in the
inost economical way, so that the
best possible use is made of the sup
| plies available. We shall not bake
bread. We shall hope by provldlnß
nourishing und palatable meals to
Ket people to eat more of their meat
ration and so lighten the consump
tion of bread, which Is the most im
portant thing Just now. We shall
take foods that are comparatively
plentiful, such as the salted fish
which is coming on the markets in
large quantities, and make it into
n great variety oi' attractive dishes.
It is not a question of money-sav
ing, but of proving that the sound
scientific handling of food by a skill
ed staff is economy In food.
"With such a kitchen we ought
to be able to feed 10,000 persons with
the same food which wonld have fed
5,000 if prepared In badly managed
private kitchens. We should he
ready to supply meals to dukes and
duchesses from the kitchen as well
as working people. It will not be
a restaurant, but a distributing cen
ter from which a large number of
l,ocal depots are supplied daily with
prepared food for sale. There Is no
question of philanthropy. It Is hoped
that the kitchen will be self-support
ing. At the present time many poor
people cannot afford the meat ration,
but we hope that we shall encourage
the ating of meat as against bread
by supplying it in an economical
form. i \
"Thc plan will depend for suc
j cess largely upon the co-operation
jof the local authorities, who are
