MEVRER OF THE ARPOCTATED PRRAS, z aE Se AREY SB a i te Ga WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES? =W YORKERS have a right to expect that the city’s official welcome to homecoming troops from Europe shal! be worthy of New York. ; By far the greater number of the returning soldicrs are certain to disembark at this port. The people of New York are eager to do them honor. The popular reception can be counted on to show what is in the hearts of New York's citizens. Formal reception, wherever practicable, should bear out this spirit. It would seem to most New Yorkers, therefore, that an immediate understanding might be arrived at between the municipal authorities and the War Department, clearly establishing under what conditions troops are to be disembarked here and sent to their various training camps for demobilization. | The War Department should at once make it clear what oppor tunities are and what are not open for welcoming successive ship Jouds} of returning soldiors as they land in New York. ; | This would remove misunderstanding, afford a safe and definite basis for planning every bit of welcome the conditions of demobiliza-| tion permit and might relieve this city of the painful spectacle of i Mayor wrangling with the Fifth Avenue or some other association as to reception plans and schemes of decoration while troops land on- welcomed. It goes without saying that New York would be proud to cheer; returning fighters from each and every State of the Union if it could be arranged to have them parade through its streets. This seems hardly possible, however, if the men are to be taken straight to camp; and mustered out with special attention to their physical condition.. What New York wants to know from the War Department is exactly how much it can do to show how it feels toward the home-, comers. What it wants from the Mayor and any committee or committevs he may appoint is intelligent, harmonious, dignified concentration on the business of making the municipal welcome the most the demobil- ization programme will allow. FOOD CONSERVING WEEK. N APPEAL to Americans to save food in order that they may send 20,000,000 tons of foodstuffs to 380,000,000 people in Europe cf whose need there is no shadow of doubt, addresses itself to a Nation for which thrift and responsibility have now meanings. Habits of war saving have not been formed by millions of familios in the United States only to be put aside and forgotten with the prospect of peace. Lessons of domestic economy have not been studied and learned as a patriotic duty without producing profound households out of every ten toward waste in its relation to the family budget. For this reason the new food conservation campaign launche this week by the Federal and State Food Boards will have little diffi- culty in getting itself quickly translated into the terms of practical saving in buying, cooking and eating that will make it effective. Housewives all over tho United States are in excellent training for another food saving drive. In fact many of them have go far “bet- tered instruction” as to be in a position to give points to Food Admin- istration experts. Throughout the country, thrift in the kitchen and! moderation at table are in high repute. Will anybody maintain the health and happiness of the Nation have suffered thereby? National responsibility is another newly developed element of Bational conaciousness which can be relied upon to make further food @onaervation seem a natural part of the national programme. {3s Among other things, the war has taught the American people tire enormous part their wealth and resources play in the hopes and pros- pects of other peoples to whom the terrible cost of the conflict has left little save the opportunity to climb painfully to a h among self-governing nations.
