Moral Hygiene for Soldiers

A movement to promote moral hy-
giene in the vicinity of the Wrights-
town cantonment has been inaugurat-
ed by the medical department of the
United States army.
Col. L. Mervin Maus, of the medi-
cal corps of the army, last week visit
ed the townships in the neighborhood
and had conference with the local
officials in relation to this important
subject of preventing venereal diseases
among the soldiers at the camp. He
was in Mount Holly on Friday.
He favored the passing Of ordinances
providing for the arrest or segregation
of girls who are known in each COM
munity to be menace to the health
of young men and who are known to
be on the streets every night for illegiti
mate purposes. If these loose charac-
tiers are removed, the dangers of veneer
cal diseases will be greatly minimized.
Communities generally give con-
siderable attention to preventing other
diseases, such as smallpox, typhoid
fever, malaria, ETC., and exceptional
precautions are taken when only one
case of any of those diseases appear.
No attention whatever is placed, how
ever, on the more prevalent and equal
ly vicious venereal diseases, which are
constantly present and which are
very serious menace to the residents
and visitors to community.
A large military camp is to be estab-
lished at Wrightstown, where upward
of $4,000 young men are to be assem-
bled. Many of these men will be daily
visitors to the towns and cities in the
vicinity of the cantonment, and each
community should be interested in as
sisting to keep their morals clean and
health good. Local pride, if nothing
else, should cause each town or town
ship to cooperate in this work, for no
community is DESTROYS of becoming
known as place where unclean dis
eases are prevalent.
The cooperation of physicians and
druggists was requested to promote the
eradication of this evil by giving to
the agents of secret health service
that is to be established the names of
persons under treatment for the loath-
some diseases, so that a system of
surveillance may be inaugurated.
The Importance of the subject is OBJ
vious to any citizen, and any steps
that are taken by the local or military
authorities in this direction should re-
ceive the hearty support Of all resi-
dents who are interested in the good
regulations Of the communities here
abouts.

Random Remarks

The United States government is in
need of stenographerS and typewriters.
The Civil Service Commission suggest
encouraging more people m this
branch Of work. 1t advises its agents
to ask editors of local papers to publish
this information, post notices and bring
the matter to attention in every avail
able way. The government does not
offer to pay for any Of this advertising,
in fact is asking the newspapers to do
lot Of this work gratis. This is all
right, perhaps, and we are willing to do
'our bit" but when glance is taken
at certain sections, like the Wrights-
town Camp, where money is being
spent freely and big percentages paid
to contractors it would seem as if there
might be a loosening up in other
quarters. This does not apply particu-
larly to the government, but not q
week passes that the local papers are
not solicited to give dollars worth Of
free advertising. If the granting of
these requests is appreciated we are
satisfied.
IAN inextingushable record" is the
heading in the Philadelphia Inquirer
which says: '"Thsy"-ths enemy
cannot extinguish the glory of Ger
man Deeds" says the Kaiser in his
proclamation to his people. The
"glory of German desds"! Unfortified
ports bombarded; children murdered in
their sleep by the bombs of airplsnes;
the massacre of the Lusitania; women
violated and driven into barbaric slave
ry; innocent men, women and child
rem tortured and slain as an example
to invaded towns of Belgium; homes
ruthlessly plundered and burned; vii
lagos and fertile lands made waste;
prisoners subjected: to frightful atroc-
tiles; men captured ON the battlefield
crucified. "They cannot extinguish
the glory of German Deeds" No, they
cannot, unfortunately for Germany.
1t is an inextinguishable record that
will live throughout the ages, and
countless millions yet unborn will
marvel that men in human shape com.
NIT such foul crimes and boast Of
them.

Sea Girt Camn Affairs

The physical examination of the
national guardsmen at Sea Grit was
made last week and those accepted
were sworn into the military service of
the United States.
Company E, of Mount Holly, made
good showing in the physical con-
dition of its men, as only four were
sent home, namely: Thomas X. Ell
bertson, David Swayne, Salvatore
Lamenta, and Thomas r. Williams.
On Sunday many thousands of Wis
itors flocked to Sea Girt to inspect the
camp and interview the soldiers. So
great was the crowd that restrictions
mad to be placed upon promiscuous
visiting to the soldiers quarters and
parade ground. Guards were placed
IN every direction to keep out the
callers unless they had good reasons to
give for admittance.
Major General Bell, commander Of
the army department Of the east. re-
viewed the troops during the afternoon.
and said he was pleased with the show
ing made by the New JERSEY guards
men.
General Bells visit also was for the
purpose of discussing with Governor
Edge the organization of state mill
tary force to take the place of the
national guard which now has passed
out of existence. Some plan must be
formulated to provide body of men
subject to call of the governor to pre-
serve order in the state in case of riots
or other disturbances. Governor Edge
has called meeting of representatives
of the larger communities of each
county to discuss with him, at Sea
Girt tomorrow, the formation of a
second line of military defence for this
state.
The general impression appears to be
that the national guard, after passing
into the service of the United States,
will never be recognized after the
war. 1t is probable that the next legis-
lature will enact laws providing for the
formation of q state constabulary,
similar to that of Pennsylvania, to
cope with internal disorders. This
plan has been in existence in the
neighboring state across the Delaware
river for several years and h as proven
to be efficient and highly satisfactory.

Business Mems Association

Business Mems Association
Tuesday evening was extremely hot
but secretary Killie, of the Business
Mems Association, is authority for the
statement that his Office was the cool
est spot in town and that the large
number Of members who were present
really enjoyed themselves. That may
be SO, but it is certain that the heat
did not prevent considerable business
being transacted.
The committee that was appointed
to see whether the Adams Express
Company could not give better and
quicker delivery reported that the
Philadelphia Office had promised much
but had done little in this matter. :
Progress was reported in the matter
of trying TO get the Burlington County
Transit Company making improve
msnts along its right of way in Mount
Holly.s
The advertising committee reported
tina t signs had been ordered, to be put
up along the roads leading from here
to Camp Dix.
1t seems that the Association is
bound to have the Halloween celebra-
ton. 1t will come high, but we must
have it. 1t is purposed to have baby
parade in the afternoon, and the hous-
ing OF Good Intent's new fire engine is
expected to be an event. In the evening
there will be the mummsr's parade,
and the intention is to Guido last years
event.

Examination of Conscrints

Exemption board No /, of Burling-
ton county, yesterday began the ex-
animation of the men called for mill
tary service under the CONSUMPTION act
passed by congress. The hoard is COM
posed of County Clerk Harry l..
Knight, Sheriff William T. Stecher
and DIR. R. c. Darlington. The board
holds it's sessions at the court house.
The physical examinations are being
made by DR.. Darlington, assisted by
DR.. E. d. Prickitt.
Ninety-four candidates had been
summoned for examination yesterday,
but it was impossible to complete that
number, although the board worked
diligently from 9 a. M. to 6 p. m. The
total number examined or disposed of
was 80. Those who were not examin-
ed were notified to appear again at the
court house on Thursday morning,
August 9th.
The board did not make final dispo-
sition of any of the conscripts, but will
do that later. Every effort was made
to examine as many men as possible,
without taking any time to consider
each case for final decision, in order
not to detain the men any longer than
possible.
After each conscript had received the
physical examination he was given an
opportunity to state. his claim for ex-
emption, II any. If exemption was
claimed he was given the proper affi-
davit blanks to be filed, stating in de-
tail the reasons therefor. These blanks,
duly executed, must be filed with the
board within ten days. The board
then will make a final decision upon
each case.
All exemptions granted by the local
board are subject to appeal by the
government for review by the state
district board.
All reflections for physical reasons,
before becoming absolute, will be passed
upon by another physician.
There we're quite number of appli-
cations for exemption blanks, as will
be seen by referring to the list given
below.
The penalty for making false repre-
sensations to obtain exemption is
severe, and all the claims will be care
fully scrutinized by the boards.
The following passed the physical
examination and did not ask any ex-
smption provided by the draft law:
