VICE q MOTIONS BAD

Vice conditions in Minneapolis and
st. Paul, declared by Hen F. Burt,
investigator for the war department,
to be shameful" may 'e5ult il the
removal of al soldier troops from
Fort Smelling.
Mr.. Burt visited Des Moines week
before last and made thcro invest
igation following which he declared
that city and Camp Dodge surround
ings free from vice.
But he found conditions sc differ
ent in the vicinity of FIT Smelling
that he has ordered a complete clean
up under threats of transferring every
soldier from that pest. Provost
guard has been established in both
Minneapolis and st. Paul, and every
soldier found on the streets after
$50 O'Clock is placed in a truck and
dispatched to the fort Not only
are soldiers being furnished liquor
illegally, but women of the under
world have been preying upon the
soldier boys unmolcsted by the
authorities. Mr.. Burt discovered.
That the newspapers realize the
gravity of the situation is evidenced
by the following editorial in the Min
HtdpOllS lIlDuHc otlul udN
Minneapolis and st. Paul are I'M
der provost guard. The reason is
that the police have not done what
the military authorities at FIT. Smell
ing say they ought to have done and
could do to clean up these towns
and make them fit places for the
soldier on leave. The vice condi-
tions are represented as such that
the government has threatened, if
they are not made better, to remove
all the soldiers from FIT. Smelling.
That would be a fine price to pay
for the privilege of keeping out sa-
looms and "blind pigs" and boot
leggers" and houses of i'll fame. But
that is the alternative-clean up or
the soldiers will clear out
Is it possible that any administra-
ton in Minneapolis could survive a
development like that"

it is the Protestant church in the

the Army Y is to have a place for
the soldier to go and forget about
the war, and the friends they left
behind.
AS you know, some of the boys will
worry more or less about home and
the Y. tries to make them forget for

AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE
BURIED IN FRANCE

With The American Army In France
The first three American soldiers
killed in the trenches in France to-
night are sleeping in French soil
honored by the American army and
the people and army of France.
Their final intorment took place one
day last week.
With a guard of French infantry
men in their pictuseque uniforms of
red and horizon blue standing on one
side and a detachment of American
soldiers on the other, the flag wrap
ped caskets were lowered into the
grave as bugler blew taps and the
batteries at the front fired minute
guns. AS the minute guns went off
the French officer commanding the
division in this section paid tribute
to the fallen Americans. His words,
which were punctuated by the roar
of the guns and the whistle of shells
touched both the French and Amer
leans. In conclusion the French Of
ficer said:
''In the name of the-th division.
in the name of the French army, and
in the name of France, l bid fare
well to Private Enright, Private Gre
sham and Private Hay of the Ameri-
can army.
"Of their own free will they had
left prosperous and happy country
to come over here. They knew war
was continuing in Europe; they knew
that the forces fighting honor, love
of justice and civilization were still
checked by the long prepared forces
serving the powers of brutal DONNA
ton, oppression and barbarity. They
knew that efforts were still neces-

sary They wished to give up their
generous hearts and they have not
forgotten old historical memories,
while others forget more recent ones
They ignored nothing of the cir
cumstances and nothing had been
concealed from them-neither the
length and hardships of war nor the
violence of battle, nor the dreadful
ness of new weapons, nor the per-
fidy of the foe. They accepted the
hard and strenuous life; they crossed
the ocean at great peril; they took
