AID Club Committees Findings
Bring Out Facts About
''Camp No. 2"

The AID Club committee having
charge of the investigation of the ten
ement question, has encountered some
of the difficulties that often accom-
pany investigations of this character
The information they have received
has not, in all cases, been fully re-
liable, and it is found that the COM
mittee may have to investigate the in
formation given by the authorities.
This was exemplified in the report
of the committee on the tenements
credited to Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Richards, and known as Camp No. 2.
in the Kauluwela section of the town.
The committee report states that
Theodore Richards that portion OF
it is being rebuilt in cottages and an
other part remains in old tenements,
the condition of which is harshly criti.
cised.
The fact is that Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ards do not own this property. They
disposed of it five years ago and ap-
rarently the records of the health de-
partment and the building inspectors
office, from which the AID Club COM
mittee secured its information, have
not been kept up-to-date
The property owned by Mr.. and Mrs.

The Warning

a Once again the commandment of the great army
training camp at American Lake Washington, has
warned Seattle that unless it's tommPrcialiZcd vice
is cleaned out. he will forbid the thousands Of sol
diers at the camp from visiting the city.
ia the dispatches "bOOtlegging' is mentioned as
one of the kinds of lawessness against which
Major General Greene is taking action. the others
being prostitution and gambling. These dispatches
may give wrong impression TO the extent OF
Illicit iqu0rselling for the truth is there is much
less of this than Of the other lawbreakng. Seattle
is dry town for all practical purposes, and what
little bootcggng goes on is done clandestinely and
usually stopped, the record of arrests shows.
But Seattle has been woefuy lax in stopping the
redlight traffic. 1t was this which first stirred the
military authorities, The department and the
subordinate officers have determined that our men
III this great war shall he trained under conditions
of physical cleanliness; that there shall be no vice
districts around the camps; that the shall not
be tempted by the panders and prostitutes which
invariably flock to the neighbOrhOods of camps.
{ american Lake, which is a dozen miles from
Tacoma is ideal neighborhood if the civil author
tiles do their part to keep it clean. Tacoma is re-
ported TO have done it's part but Seattle less than
80 miles away and easily reached by train and cleo
trc has not cleaned itself of the vice traffic.
Hence the stern warning that unless Seattle
cleans up, the soldiers will not be allowed to visit
there.
\ situation similar to that in the northwest ex-
lists in Honolulu. We have got to clean up this city
morally and physically and keep it clean. Does Ho-
nolulu want the unenviabe reputation that Seattle
is gaining? Does Honolulu want to be exhibited to
the world as a city which fosters vice in defiance
Of the expressed desire and purpose of the war de.
partment?
How long before the civil authorities here will
wake to the danger of laxity and incompetence and
take radical action? Must they wait until military
authority is forced to take charge in defense of the
lives and health of American soldiers?
