GREENE HITS OFFICIALS ON VICE
It'sSeattle's Move
in Vice Situation

= EN-. GREENE says Seattle is a
~ vice-ridden city. He says def
initely that he has not only evidence
as to the amount of vice, but infers
that he has evidence that it is pro-
tected by officials high in authority.
Seattle and Seattle's officials must
look at this vice situation from a diff
ferent angle than ever before. They
standpoint.
1t is the policy of the national gov
ernment to keep its soldiers clean, to
keep them healthy, and to make each
man an effective fighting unit. If vice
defeats this purpose, then the general
in command is just as much guilty as
if he permitted his men to be badly
trained, or as if he allowed some con-
tageous disease or unsanittary condi-
ton to spread in the cantonment.
The Star made an investigation at
Camp Lewis about 10 days ago.
At that time 400 soldiers out of
the $4,000 at Camp Lewis were in the
base hospital as the result of what we
will call vice diseases. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that this number of men
are incapacitated by these same dis
eases in each of the various army
camps. There are approximately 80
times as many soldiers in the United
States army today as the Camp Lewis
unit.
Therefore, if this same percentage
of diseased men holds in all of the
camps, then today the government has
more than 10000 of its soldiers sick
in hospitals as the result of vice.
In other words. the government is maintaining
an army unit big the Camp Lewis in hospitals
as a result of this thing
The loss is appalling in dollars. 1t runs into
millions daily but the most serious loss is the fact
that this many soldiers, instead of being trained
and made efficient are suffering from disease and !
wasting their time in hospitals
If this number of soldiers. or, if half this num-
ber of soldiers were in the hospitals because of
typhoid or because of any other single cause. the
whole nation would be aroused and would demand
of the military authorities speedy action to bring
about instant reform.
This is the viewpoint that Gen. Greene in
command of the 10000 soldiers at Camp Lewis.
takes The nation, thru the administration, de-
mands that Gen. Greene perfect an effective fight
ing organization out of his 10000 men. If he
allows vice conditions in Seattle, or anywhere else,
to defeat that purpose, then he is failing the
tion at the most critical point of its
Gen. Greene will not fail, and there is
why Seattle cannot be made clean enough to
make it safe for Gen Greenes soldiers to visit
here.
It's Seattle's move.
The question involved is not moral one. 1t
is not political one. 1t is strictly military and.
in times of war, everything must be made to con-
form to the military requirements.
Most decidedly, 1t is Seattle's move
