Message of Secretary Baker.

"The United States is spending great
sums to conserve the health and well
fare of its soldiers. far greater sums
than have ever been spent before in the
country's history. Our medical and
sanitary provision is on the most gen.
erous scale. and both time and money
are being spent without stint to teach
our soldiers how to participate in this
war with the least loss of life and limb,
as well as with the greatest effective
ness against our adversary.
TT is. therefore. very appropriate
that our soldiers should be given the
plain facts about vice. The exhibition
of the picture Damaged Goods is an
effective way of telling these facts, and
shall be glad to have every officer
and man in the Army. from the Oldest
to the youngest. see this picture: not
that many of them need its warning,
but that all of them can have its warn
ing in mind to repeat to others when
necessary.
A special section will be reserved at
each performance for staff officers and
other government officials who have
signified their intention of going. A
short address will be made by Gen.
Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff. represent
