To Avoid Future Wars
Unqualified approval of President

Soldiers in Trenches
Regard Name Sammy"
Inapt and Ridiculous
BY Associated Press

American Training Camp in
France, Monday, Aug. 13.-Not un-
til the recent arrival in camp of GER
tain American newspapers did the
soldiers of the American expedition
airy forces become aware that efforts
were being made in certain quarters
to fix upon them the name of
Sammy"
That name is never heard on this
side. Within the last few days the
correspondent of the Associated
Press has been approached by great
numbers of officers and men asking
that something be sent home telling
the people there how the standard
bearers of the American army really
resent what they consider an inapt,
undignified ana irritating name.
1t can also be stated that the
resentment does not rest with the
officers and men of the army but
that it extends to all Americans resi-
dent in Paris and in other parts of
France, many having written in to
say they consider Sammy most un-
suitable for men who have come to
France seriously and earnestly to
fight for the liberties of the peoples
of the world.
please hit the Sammy propa-
ganda as hard as you can" said an
officer of distinguished rank to the
correspondent to-day. "The men and
officers would he proud to have an
appropriate nickname, but there is
not one among us who thinks
Sammy is in any way suitable and
it certainly is not desired.
"The name does not in any way
suit a fighting man. We recognize,
of course, that it is an effort to play
upon the name of Uncle Sam, but
who would think of calling Uncle
Sam Uncle Sammy? 1t is ridiculous"
West Pointers particularly smile at
Sammy for sammy" has always
been a nickname at the Military
Academy for molasses. Pass the
sammy" is an old-t time table phrase.
