Camp Logan, Houston, Texas, Sept
29-There was nothing about the
young sergeant to distinguish him
from the other soldiers near.
He lay stretched on a camp cot,
| reading diligently in a blue-covered
manual of army drill. And he pro-
vided what is to me the best proof
that our army now training to fight
the battle of democracy is a really
democratic army.
The young sergeant is Marshall
| Field III, grandson Of the great Chi
cago merchant and heir to $50 mIi
lions. Photographer Dor1nan and
found him in the section Of Camp
Logan that is occupied by Battery 3.
Second Illinois Field Artillery, Of
which he is a member.
| Among members of the same or
ganization are former employees of
Marshall Field & Co., workmen from
chorus man from a Chicago theater
and even a cabaret singer.
The other artillerymen, / found,
have a wholesome respect for Ser
geart Field as an efficient non-com-
missioned officer. AS a lnulti-nil-
lionaire, they simply don't think of
him.
"He won't let u.s." one Of them
explained. "He doesn't spend more
money, wear better uniforms, eat bet
ter food or have any easier time than
the rest of us. The only difference
seems to be that he studies more"
Sergeant Field had this to say when
asked him why he hadn't entered
an officers training camp:
81 saw so many others trying to be-
come officers that / thought q few
privates would be much needed. So
| enlisted and served two months as
private before / was made cor
poral and later q sergeant"

! That's the kind of army Uncle Sam
is getting ready, here in the training
camp Of the Illinois National Guard as
| we'll as in the many other camps and
environments scattered over the coun-
try.
It's an army in which one man
is just exactly as good as another
| man; its officers as well as its SOL
diers are drawn from all ranks of
civilian life.
| We saw a group of these new Of
ficers today, gathered under one Of
the big pines of Camp Logan to hear
q lecture from an older officer. It's
my opinion that the history of
Americas share in this war against
kaiserism will have much to say OF
the part played by these boys from
the officers training camps.
| Most of them have had only
three months of intensive training. On
trains going to the encampments I've
seen them skylarking Ike college
freshmen.
But here at Camp Logan, and in
other training camps we have visit
ed, I've found them serious and earn
est, facing with grave determination
their tremendous task of moulding
unframed men into a great modern
army

learn, and / believe it's that very
willingness that's going to help US

RELIGION AND THE WAR

We hear criticisms every day of the
ineffectiveness of Christianity in this
war and of its failure as a mediative
power Some persons say that it has
been put in the balance and has been
found wanting.
But would it not be better to think
that Christianity is only going
through a testing period, and that it
will survive it and come out a slight
ly different religion and stronger
one?
One has only to read the newspa-
pers to believe that religion is get
ting a more sincere following than
ever before. People are turning to
Christianity for consolation in their
wartime sorrows.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has done invaluable
work along spiritual lines in this
war. Never has so great work been
accomplished with so small an ex-
pense. 1t is inspiring to read of a
French general personally handing
out Bibles to soldiers and telling
them to read the Book closely. and
adding that Holy Scriptures have been
great help to himself for more
than forty years.
Let us not be too rash or cynical in
our statements about Christianity. for

ROOSEVELT FLAYS PROGRAMS
Asks for Suppression Of Teuton Con-
trOlled Newspapers.


BY United Press
NEW YORK, August 11.-Denounc-
ing some senators, congressman and
newspaper editors as standing where
the Copperheads stood in the Civil
war; Colonel Roosevelt has de-
manded the suppression of the Ger
man controlled press, deportation Of
"50-50 Americans" and called upon
every man. woman and child in the
country to exert every ounce of en-
ergy to end the war.
When asked concerning the state
ments attributed to him by Dr. Kuno
Meyer, Berlin professor. in Amster-
dam dispatches, Roosevelt said Meyer
was guilty of gross impropriety" in
quoting him concerning compensation
and indemnities a victorious Germany
may collect. Meyers statement is
substantially correct with this excep-
tion," said Roosevelt. II did not say
the Austro-German victory would en-
title them to compensation or indem-
mites, or to form a mid-European
federation under German agency.
What | said was that, if Germany
was victorious, she would undoubtedly
exact the utmost limitations of COM
pensation and indemnities she could
wiring from her adversaries, includ-
ing the United States, and | added she
would take them from the United
States whether we went to war or
not. Mr.. Meyer and his wife called
