Clean Athletics
Planned for Camp
Life of Soldiers
Red BIooded Sports for Red
BIooded Men, Is Slogan
of "Chaperons"

RAYMOND b. Fosdick, chairman Of the
commission in charge Of training camp
activities throughout the United States,
left for Washington last night. deter
mined that the men who are to make up
the rank and file of the conscription
army arc to have about as much whole
some entertainment in camp life as
they would ordinarily get at home.
"Red-blooded recreation for red
blooded men," he said, would be the
slogan of the commission and in
measure the same scheme followed at
Aldershot and at the training camps
of Canada would be observed at the
various camps throughout the United
States.
The commission. which has loosely
dubbed the place Camp Chaperone, has
already worked out scheme FOR COM
munitv cooperation which will guard
the morals of troops in training and
also protect them from any imposition
the villagers may seek to put over, such
as the importation of cheap amuse-
ments or the sale Of inferior goods at
exorbitant prices.
Life at the training camps, SAID
Mr.. Fosdck, sis not an easy one, and
the men must have plenty Of good
amusement and athletic diversions for
their leisure time.
"The necessity for this mental and
physical relaxation has been recognized
at Aldershot and the camps in Canada.
and is one of the essential features
in the rear at the French front.
al saw one Of the finest boxing
matches of my life at a camp in Can
ada. II was fight for the regimental
championship and created intense en-
thusiasm. 1t is our plan to provide
within the camps every form OF ath-
letic contests the men may be interest
ed in. There will be baseball, tennis,
track events and even boxing, If the
men care for it. We are dealing with
red blooded army of men and they
need red-blooded sports.
Through the Drama Society we ex-
pect to procure professional companies
TO present standard plays weekly, and
the motion pictures will be of the best
the country affords"
Mr.. Fosdck said that the military
authorities are handicapped in having
no jurisdiction outside the camps, but
provisions may be made to give COM
manders the right TO go into the ad-
iacent communities TO eliminate the
immoral influences that usually appear
at army camps.

America to Provide

Eight Hundred Will Be Need

100000 Men

Washington, May 14.-For fear OF
overstraining the already heavily taxed
transport facilities of France, elao-
crate arrangements will be made, 1t Is
declared, to have the American expedi-
tionary force furnish its own lines oil
communication.
When an American division of 2O,Ooo
men reaches France it will need s0,ooo
tons of transport, four tons for every
man. Eighty trains of 1000 tons ca
pacity each would therefore have 10 De
provided for every such division. For
300 900 men 500 trains would be neces-
sary.
These figures indicate what trem-
endous task faces the United States IN
only one phase of the war. and 1t Is ap,,
preciated better when it is remembered
that entire railroad systems must De

built before Russia will be able to use

Wives Come Higher
In Belgian Congo
Because Of the War
Natives Now Have to Pay Tax
on All Brides After
the First

Belgian Congo, Africa, is not feeling
the war except in the price Of war
brides, which are now taxed francs a
head (the first wife being exempted)
by the Belgian government, according
to Mrs. Edgar Allen Johnston, a mis-
sionary, who has just arrived from
abroad and is staying at the Martha
Washington Hotel.
"A native lives on about 5 cents q
week" said Mrs. Johnston. THAT goes
mainly for food, as clothes do not
trouble them except when they dress up
for palavers. Their main diet is cas-
sava, a root which is pounded up into
-four, the leaves being cooked as vege-
table. They also use palm nuts for the
oil, fruits and have a wide variety of
meats, chiefly wild pigs, antelopes and
monkeys" Mrs. Johnston said she ate
a piece Of roasted monkey once at
feast and it tasted like veal or chicken.
Copal, basic substance in the manu-
facture of varnish. is one of the main
sources of the natives incomes. I'VE
live in Tonga, on the Congo River
said Mrs. Johnston, "and there are
about $4,000 natives under our care,
that is, just my husband, who is still
there, and myself. Once a month we
get mail, and newspapers are always al
least six weeks behind time. The ma
tives cannot seem to understand the
great war. They say to me: But the
white man teaches US it is wrong t.
fight, why does he do it?' And it isn't
an easy question to answer"
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnston have beer

Foreign Christian Missionary Society
OF the Christian Disciples Church
The first glimpse of the war which
reached Mrs. Johnston was aboard {
