mitted for treatment for venereal dis
eases 112 persons In every 1000, and
In the army ei~ghty-four for every
1000, the number In the army having
decreased from l45 to the 1000 after
the passage Of an act stopping h pay
of all soldiers admitted for treatment
for q venereal disease. The new navy
law stops the pay of men so afflicted,
and will probably reduce the number
to the army ratio. But these figures
show q condition of immortality upon
the part Of the minority in both arms
of the service that challenges the
thought Of the authorities. ""'' The
late figures from the British army gave
$4,000 cases and all other countries
have also beer weakened.
"Sir William Osler places these in
fictitious diseases at the top as a men
ace in war and I'M peace. The time
has come to realize that this subtlest
foe of humanity must be conquered
and II cannot be conquered by denying
its existence, saying 1t Is q necessary
evil. or applying p~alliatives. 1t is
deadlier than smallpox or cancer or
tuberculosis. A Canadian authority
says its ravages today are more ter
rible for Britain and Canada than
Vimy Ridge, the Scmme and Lens
.'The remedy? There Is but one
confluence. II must be preached in
the home, i'm the school, In the marts Of
trade, I'm the pulpit and In military
camps and among shipmates afiOat.
The eradication Of the evil effects must
be thorough. """'
Confluence is no longer a matter
OF morals only though 1t must be en-
forced as the cardinal doctrine Of
morals. '''' There is no foundation
for a double standard for the sexes.
To preach il Is to preach immortality
and a lowering Of manhood.
To-day as never before American
manhood must he clean. We must
have fitness! American stands In need
Of every ounce of strength. We must
cut out the cance If we would live"
The plain advice Of our secre-
tary of the navy-n direct Endorsement
Of the teachings OF the Catholic Church
on that subject-deserves the atten-
ton and support Of every American
who has the moral and physical well
fare of our future men and women ut
heart. Every one of us should back up
the government In this movement In
view Of the fact that our country is
the only one among the leading Pow
ers which has come OF openly aui
officially for clean moral environme T.
at the army camps. We are glad To
again point out 10 the readers that the
Central Bureau Of the Central Society
has published "A booklet treating on
the above mentioned immoral disease
from the Christian viewpoint. Guide
Right" is written for soldiers and
already 67,OOO copies have been circu.
lated. Did you get a copy for the sol.
diers Of your community, for your own
boy In the army?-C. n.

Moral Dangers Confront Soldiers.

Our Secretary Of the Navy, NJ. Dan
iels, deals frankly and forcefully with
d vital issue. He said before the elm
ical congress Of surgeons at Chicago,
October %:
There is no an army In the field
whose effectiveness Is not reduced
by reason Of immoral disease. .
During the last statistical year men
OF the American navy lost al 1878
days sickness from u small group OF
absolutely ~prevsntable diseases, or
rather diseases contracted by sin. This
means that every day throughout the
year there were 45G men disabled by
this d~isgraceful malady. Add to that
number those required to care for the
disabled and we have enough men on
the ~non-effectiye list each day to man
a modern battleship. And this does
not count those who though diseased
were not disabled or the evil Of the
loathing danger Of c~ontagion to the
clean members VI the crew.
