WAR CAMP COMMUNiTY-R ECRE-
ALTON.

Everyone is more or less familiar
with the splendid work that is being
conducted by the Y. NJ. C. A. and other
organizations in military training
camps in this country as we'll as with
the army in France. The activities OF
the Y Nj. C. A. are confined almost
entirely within the camps. Those who
have studied the situation have decid-
ed that a great and important service
can be rendered outside these camps,
In the towns and communities near
which they are located. The great need
| for this work resulted in the formation
| of a plan TO create a war camp COM
munity- recreation fund to provide hos
ptality and wholesome community re-
! creation for every man in military
| training camps in the United States.
| In this connection, Boise has been
asked to contribute $4,000 to the rec
reation fund. This money Is going to
be used in breaking the monotony OF
camp life in red blooded practical
way. 1t is going to be used to pre-
serve the fighting spirit of the boys in
blue and khaki-to make them realize
every day they are in training and at
| the front that the folks at home are
| back of them. Imagine yourself In
the position of one of these men. You
have left behind your friends and home
surroundings that meant great deal
Ito YOU You have arrived with thou
| sands~o others in surroundings that
are new and strange to you. Your in
Individuality Is completely submerged in
the multitude all dressed alike, all do
ing the same things. For while the
novelty OF the change appeals to you
and holds your interest. Soon. how
aHer. the camp life settles down to
steady routine that is part OF the
making of a soldier. and the novelty
passes away completely. You yearn
for something to take the place of the
home life to which you have been ac-
customed since childhood--which Is
lust as much a part of you as your
head. or your arms, or your legs. You
have not suddenly become sentimental
: do not want to be "fussed over

mitted by the American Defense So
ciety for consideration. The commit
tee, after due deliberation, reported on
the adoption of all proposals. The
proposals submitted for consideration
are as follows:
81. Troops to France-Great Brit
ain. with population of about 50,
100000 and France, with a population
of some 100000. have already con-
tributed approximately 100000 and
5000, 10000 men respectively. and
have borne the burden of the struggle
for more than three years. If Ameri-
ca should send even 100000 men
from its population of over 100,000,000
it would not, in our judgment, be do
ing more than an equivalent share. For
America to send an overwhelming
force should also hasten Germany's
realization Of the hopelessness of her
cause and materially shorten the war.
The more men we send the fewer will
be slain.L
80. Internment of Alien Enemies
The interning of aggressive pro-Ger-
man sympathizers. whether German
citizens or not, we believe should be
followed up with increasing vigor.
England allowed Germans and Ger
man sympathizers at large for about a
year. then informed 10000 and the ma
licious plots and propaganda ceased.
"3. Warning to Germany-The ex-
amples that Germany has given of
the course which the doctrine of mil
itary necessity has impelled her to
follow, surely justifies such a warn
| ing, and if given we may look for an
adhering on her part to civilized war
| fare AS it will protect our forces in
the field and our people both at home
and on the high seas, is it not better
to warn now than to be compelled to
act later?
q. Prohibiting Publications In
German Language-A similar law was
passed in England and France imme-
diately after the declaration of war
Besides minimizing the danger of dis
loyal utterances, such law would, We
believe diminish Teutonic influence ir
the United States and hasten the
Americanization of our foreign popu'
lation of Teutonic origin.

1t does not contribute anything to
the pride of an American citizen when
he realizes that in many of our great
cities a majority Of the inhabitants
are foreign born, or direct descend
ants. Cleveland, o., has been taking
stock and 1t must have been a great
surprise to that city when it was dis
covered that rs per cent of its popu-
lation was either foreign born or of
foreign parentage, and that so per
cent of this number were from enc

over $4,000 were unable to speak Eng

people look upon Cleveland as a truly

COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.
Commercial clubs live by the work
they do: the idle and inefficient die, IL
Is therefore natural, that to impress
community with a strong belief IN its
manifest destiny, to organize hundreos
OF its energetic men into committees
and to direct their energies TOWARD
the ANALYSIS and solution of commun-
ity problems has an influence IN the
creation of community consciousness
that is irresistible.
In order that commercial organi-
cation may perform its functions IN
community building 1t must be strong
in numbers and the measure of its ac-
complishments Is directly proportion,
ate to its numerical strength. 1t must
grow as it's work expands.

and the treason which speaks when
both are designed to effect, and do eff
forts in war. Why send the nations
youth to the battlefield, and at the
same time permit any man to set
back fires from the vantage point of
high position back fires which will
bring death to increasing thousands
of our own men by weakening sup
port from behind the lines and by
strengthening the enemy to renewed
endeavor?
~. Issuance of New Securities
The national defense council has re-
Gently declared that new issues should
be limited to conserve the financial
resources of the nation for national
use. We believe it would be wise to
have this recommendation embodied
in law. A similar law was adopted
in England early in the war under the
system of licensing all issues actually
justifiable and useful in time of war
and has produced beneficial results.
Issues to refund maturing securities
should be excepted
'S. Forbidding Study of German in
Public Schools-In the past the study
of German in the public schools has
Internationally been due to political
rather than to educational influences
The widespread study of German by
immature minds tends to Teutonize
American Children, and delays the
Americanization of children of Ger
man parentage. This Is now recog
nized and German is being voluntarily
dropped in many schools of the United
States where it has heretofore beer
compulsory.

ton that can contribute to the hap
piness and welfare Of a communal pop
ulation, but, unless it advertises these
facts to the world, it ID lost in the
glare and noise of less favored COM
munity whose publicity resounds In
the heavens. and reaches all parts of
the earth.
Every active organization engaged
In the multifarious problems of COM
munity building needs brake. Ill
considered actions upon matters that
vitality effect the ultimate welfare of
the city are often the cause of much
harm.
No modern community is sufficient
unto itself 1t must establish friendly
relations with it's neighbors. Out Of
these relations grow trade, upon
which every modern city depends for
substantial growth.
A city is great in proportion to its
wealth in all Of those things which
contribute to the moral. intellectual
and material welfare of its people. The
success of a Commercial Club or
| Chamber of Commerce depends alto
gether on the willingness of its MEM
bers to do their part: to believe In the
destiny of their city, and snake others

AN BERNARD is a dear, bless ms
y heart. He is not bit proud and
hard 70 meet as one would have fan
cied. and he will luugh at your jokes
lust as though he thought they were
clever. When he tells you that he had
his first contract for $1,000 a week
framed and you say it is nice 20 be
framed that way, he says "Buliy.
YOU are stealing my business. May /
use that one in my monologue :'
But this rela xation did not occur
until away along in the middle Of the
interview. The first few moments were
tense ones. Both interviewer and in
,erviewed were frightened. They shook
hands. but, then. so do prize fighters.
In the first place come one had said
that it was difficult to interview Sam
Bernard. Then when your chief says

afraid you are too, but you have to 60.
A young person whose duty 1t is TO

together received the caller with open
arms. Her manner was cordial; her
smile was broad, but there was a tri-

made one feel as though perhaps one
we're destined to be the canary.
On the way to the star dressing room
the caller tripped over block set on
the stage, which in some mysterious
way switched the spotlight from Elsie
Janis to Vera Maxwell; then sand
rag weighing 1000 pounds hit her

and she stepped on the revolving stage
