With tho Americas Army in
France, Nov. 10; (By the Associated
Press)-There has been no special ac-
tivity reported on the sector held by
the American troops In France during
the last two days. A continuous rain
has tnterfered with aerial observa-
lions but the Americans have bsen
firing their. usual number OF shells
daily. There - good reason to believe
that some Of these fell upon or rear
certain German battery positions and
strategic points.
On an average. 500 German shells
daily have been coming over. but no
damage from them has been reported.

struggling with mud and water, de-

UNCLE SAM CEARD TO HANDLE
BIGGEST INSURANCE BUSINESS
THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN
tFrom Our Washington Bureau)

(From Our Washington Bureau)
Washington, Nov. 9.-The new
American army has entered the lists
against a foe Of humanity no less ma.
Mgnant than Prussianism. For the
first time In all history the high com.
mand OF an army has declared wal
on sexual vice and disease-not after
Its soldiers have been stricken, but
before.
In the past war has been the mos,
potent factor In the spread Of sexual
disease. After every great contest
Europe has been polluted. The pres.
ent war is no exception and every
country has suffered, Germany per-
haps more than any.
In America the lessons Of the pasl
have been learned, and the monster
has been attacked. Tho greatest ally
OF the social plague is prudery. I'm.
der the veil of silence and false mod
esty these preventable diseases have
flourished. DR.. Oslsr, famous English
physician, says that they are probably
third among killing diseases.
Over half Of the men at the army
camps now under treatment for sex.
ual disea4es were infected when they
entered the army. This shows whiit
war really does cause a spread OF
such diseases. 1t also reveals the con-
dttions which T so carefully and
fooltshly cloaked In times Of peace.
Today there probably are enough
men undergoing treatment for sexual
disease in camps ind hospitals to fill
an entire cantonment.
But this is q small percentage com.
pared to-the hundreds Of thousands Of
men in hospitals or invaded back
from the front In Europe. whole 'di:
visions have been decimated.
OF the British colonial troops, over
one-third have been infected.
Not even the most elemental pre-
cautions were taken III tho British ar
my for a long time after the war be-
gan, on account of. British prudery.
Among the c~olonials, thanks largely
to the clear-sighted and brave ef-
forts of a number of Australian wom-
on doctors. preventive treatmente
were finally begun.
The work Of protecting the army
through civilian cooperation is also
leading to the projection OF the whole
American people and the ultimate
elimination Of sexual disease. For dis
ease can be eliminated, even though
vice and frailty may not. It must be
frankly realized that the elimination
Of sexual disease is q scientific prob
lem-not a problem Of morality. While

moral suasion has proved valuable Tor
many centuries 1t has failed to pro-
tect humanity from sexual plaques,
and the fear OF disease has never act
ed as an effective deterrent to vice.
The work Of combating sexual dis
case falls In two parts. First, In the
camps. It includes the examination
individual .'prophylaxdb' Of every. man
who exposes, himself to infection. Ev-
cry soldier after leave is compelled to
report whether he has been exposed
Or not, and to submit to preventive
treatment. II he 10 caught lying, the
severest punishment IL inflicted.
+, But this Is the least important part
Of the work, the purely medical end.
The social end Of the problem is the
preston Of prostitution around all
camps.> -

ly in the great cities, ports. and rail-
way centers, the corporation Of every
