Secretary Of War Baker, in a state
ment given to the public yesterday.
The statement comes in the midst Of
the nationwide campaign this week
TO raise 100000, to be known as the
War Camp Community Recreation
Fund. This fund is to be expended
in various ways, under the direction
of the War Department and Navy De-

tertainment for the enlisted man when

object of Movement.
1.-THE effort on the part OF the COM
munites to so improve civic condi-
lions that the thousands OF visiting
young men and boys will remain clean
in mind, body and spirit, is bound to
have a wholesome effect that will
continue long after the soldiers have
left" continues the statement. when
good is once substituted for evil in
fiuences the latter have received one
of their finishing blows,
But, besides the direct advantages
to the community itself Their is an
other important phase OF the situa-
ton. This phase has to do with the
enlisted men.
Proper community reception OF the
American soldier and sailor will neces-
sarily make them more efficient fight
ing men. 1t will actually add to their
military strength and make the army
and navy, as fighting units, more
forceful.
"A sick soldier, whether physically
or mentally sick. is a detriment rather
than an asset TO any army. With
proper community environment we will
reduce the number OF sick soldiers to
minimum.
THE American public should con-
tribute most literally to this cause
for the foregoing reasons. and also
because this community service will
instill in the minds OF our enlisted
men a stronger national spirit. 1t is
human for man to fight better for
friends than for people who have
looked upon him as an alien, a per-
son to be Stunned. to be kept at a
distance.
In view of all the splendid work
being done inside the camps by va
rious organizations. It is high time
that we should turn our attention
also TO the environment of the camps.
The War Camp Community Service
furnishes the solution Of the latter
problen."

More than one million Germans, Aus
TRANS, Turks and Bulgarians are now
lined up in the drive against the Ital-
ians, according to official dispatches
received last night.
Additions to the Teutonic forces are
moving down from the north and
northeast continually and they are
bringing up with them large quanti-
ties of material and artillery.
Messages received at the Italian EN-
bassy indicate that more than fifty
divisions are now taking part In the
advance and that the retreating Ital-
ians are basing their hope on rein
forcements OF the British and French
to enable them to make a stand at the
Pieve River. They are resigned to an
abandonment of the Tagliamento line.
Two More Ships Provided.
And with the urgent cry Of the
Italians for aid. the United States
yesterday gave further indication of
the speed with which she is going to
the relief. Two more ships, each of
10000 tons and speedy, has been
placed at Italys disposal by the Ship
ping Board, making a total OF seven

for help. Other vessels will follow
in the service Immediately.
The board announced that all these
vessels will ply directly between
American and Italian ports, carrying
supplies the Italians themselves re-
quest and returning In ballast for the
sake of speed. The United States
needs iron pyrites for use in making
