CAMP DODGE A
!. CLEAN CAMP
Camp Dodge One Of Places Where u
Is Proven That the Destruction OF
Morality 10 Not Necessary.
THE CAMP STARTED RIGHT
Eight English Officers and Enlisted
Men Direct From Battle Front Now
Stationed at Camp Dodge.

Dodge, Nov. 27-It has been the fear
of many mothers heart when her son
marched away that he would meet
more loathesome enemy before he
reached the battle front.
She has heard how the moral fiber
of the soldier is destroyed by the So
cial vices she has been told go with
the uniform, She has heard that assO'
citation with women beyond the pale,
barred by society in civil life, Is toler-
ated and condoned by. commanders;
that it is looked upon as a necessary
evil the moment red blOoded youth
dOns the khaki. 1t is permitted, and
winked at, she has been told. because
it induces cOntentment. And cOntent'
ment OF the soldier is so vital to VIC
tory. y-,
1t Is not hard for her to picture
military camp with women of the un'
derworld living In .shacks nearby
camp followers for the soldiers pay.
1t requires no conjuring for her to see
her son breaking his own leash, and,
when the war is over. come to her, un'
clean.
There have been times and soldiers
camps that justify such fears. to the
disgrace OF the men who command
them. But the black flag has not flown
from the flag staff Of all camps.
Camp Dodge is one of the places
where it is proven that the destruc'
ton of morality Is not necessary in
the making of soldier.
The $4,000 men who have come into
it since the day it opened are cleaner
now than the day they arrived. The
