and sane. moral, patriotic people de-
sire; and the danger that is already
being felt and must be met, now read
a few plain facts concerning selfish
and INSCRIPTIONS interests that are
treacherously attacking our armed
forces and doing everything in their
power to defeat the governments pur-
pose to save the soldiers and sailors
from evil influences.
We refer to the liquor Interests and
their allies of vice and crime.
Every week comes to our desk from
the publicity bureau of the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association,
mailed at Cincinnati, o., an infamous
sheet of lies and criminal attempt to
lnislead the unthinking, to hold the
unfortunates already in rum traffic
clutches, and to faunt brazen con-
tempt for decency and law.
Every week for many months this
sheet has carried two reproductions of
posed photographs of wholesale booze
swilling We have often referred to
them They are claimed to be actual
photographs taken along the war
fronts showing how the British,
French, German, Austrian, Italian and
other armies live on booze: claiming to
prove by actual pictures that the best
fighters in the world are made by
booze: carrying to American soldiers
and into their homes the pretense that
vhiskey and wine and beer are neces-
sary to war efficiency, that officers and
men have the slop whether they have
arms or ammunition. food or other
drink clothing or bedding.
It is nothing to these wholesale
LIQUOR dealers or their tools in Gin
cinnati that such pictures carry actual
terror into thousands of homes. 1t is
nothing to the United States Brewers
Association or such sheets as Hearst's
which fight for the beer interests, that
the minds of thousands of clean boys
are poisoned BY such filthy falsehoods.
Nor does il seem to be anything to
the government itself that this devil.
ish propaganda is continuously pre-
pared and sent broadcast.
Congress provided for the partial
suppression of the infamous literature
Of the booze interests, but these worse
than advertising sheets befoul the
mails OF every newspaper Does the,
government interfere?
The administration must know that
this German booze treason 10 perpe-
trated every hour.
President Wilson was granted power
by Congress to suppress the wine and
beer business, and save the millions of
pounds of food now wasted every
month. while the people are urged to
pledge themselves to save.
Suppose Woodrow Wilson pledge
himself TO save the booze food?
The booze interests in this country
are VIGOROUSLY German industry.
The photographs they are publishing
ara undoubtedly posed in Cincinnati

A Washington dispatch of Tuesday
says: Plans were laid here today for
the Nation wide drive during the week
of Nov. 40 to raise $3,750,000 for the
war camp community recreation fund
to provide wholesome entertainment
for the soldiers and sailors in the cities
around the training camps. Attend
ing the conference were representa-
tives of the national and state defense
councils. chambers of commerce.. ro-
tary clubs, women's organizations and
other associations from all sections of
the country.
Sec Baker told the conference that
he wanted the soldiers to have that
invisible armor. that moral and intel
lectual armor, that new soldier state OF
mind for their protection over seas"
Two things this work is going to
do" the secretary said. 1T will bring
our soldiers back to us better citizens
and it will awaken in American cities
a sense of responsibility and an oppor-
tunity that will go a long way towards
solving the old, vexed problem of how
best to make cities safe for the youth
OF our land"
immortality in the training camps is
more dangerous to the selected men
than is all the peril of the trenches.
declared DR.. J. D. Rogers, investigator
of the International University Union,
who has been making a tour of the
camps in the interests of cleaner con-
ditions DR. Rogers delivered ser
mon Sunday at Bethany Presbyterian
Church, Twenty-second and Balm
bridge Streets, Philadelphia.
eve are rapidly approaching the
conditions that existed at the time Of
the Spanish War. when out of every
five soldiers enlisted four became af-
fiicted with disease. Our training
camps are admitted by no less an au-
thority than Major General Pershing
himself to be hotbeds of vice, and con-
ditions are steadily growing worse in
stead of better. Men are now safer in
the French trenches than they are in
our cantonments."
DR.. Rogers did not specifically men
ton any particular training camp, but
insisted that his remarks were applica-
BILE to all. The presence of immoral
women is not the only evil to be COM
planned of, he says.
Despite the government prohibition
Of the selling of liquor to soldiers
drinking flourishes in most camps" he
charged. THE men are not obliged to
go out of the camp limits themselves
to purchase alcoholic drinks. nor do
the establishments outside the govern
ment reservations violate the laws.
Bootlegging fourishes. Soldiers find
no difTiculty~whatever in getting civ
ilians to purchase liquor for them. and
so to evade the plain letter of the law.
Many civilians are carried away by
desire to help the men and buy liquor
for them without actually meaning to
do harm. but good. Others. however,
are professional purveyors of liquor to
the soldiers and must be ruthlessly
stamped out by the government au-

cially was this true Of the streets leading to the

god thing for the public?
Booze il a destroyer, not creator. i. adds moth.
ING to the nations resources which are strained to

think it over will reach the same conclusions
Enough booze for any person can be obtained BY d
