CAMP ACTIVITIES HELP
MORALE, SAYS FOSDICK
Ideas, Once Thought Fads Now
Recognized as Real Help.

The pernicious disease rate is lower
in our army than 1t has ever been
in any army here or abroad. This
announcement was made by Ray
mond Fosdick, chairman Of the COM
mission on training camp activities
of the War Department in am ad-
dress last night before the business
women's council of the Y. w. {. A
at Wesley Chapel
Mr. Fosdick has recently returned
from France where he saw ou. Ma
rines going into battle at Chateau
Thierry singing Hail. hail, the
gangs all here with "a spirit which
is going to send our men singing to
Berlin" Singing is regarded by Mr.
Fosdick as one OF the most important
innovations which the commission
has introduced into the army. He
described the horror with which the
proposition was first received by the
General Staff
Another proposition which threw
a thrill of horror into the hearts OF
the General star was the Y. w. c.
"A. Hostess House. They regarded
war as "a mans game and a camp
no place for women"
Mr.. Fosdick spoke Of the inestima-
Bile part which has been played by
the Y. NJ. C. A., X. of G.. Y. W. c.
tho Library Association in sustaining
and establishing the fine morale OF
our troops.

HUNS DOUBLING
IN PEACE GAME
Use Austrian Step to Soothe
Enemies and Spur the
People to War.

Germany is up to her old trick of
playing the peace game both ways.
Dispatches from Berne yesterday, re-
ceived through official circles, show
the doubIe-edge newspe Ter broadside
that has been launched since Austria
sent her peace note out into the cold
world.
Whatever conditions existed be-
tween Vienna ard Berlin regarding
the peace note. Germany IS trying &C
res ? every advantage from IL" saws
the dispstch ssFsr from exhibiting
bad temper, which would have i'm
piled a disagreement between herself
and her ally, the German government
would like to profit by the Austrian
step as much from an interior point
OF view as from an exterior one.
"obedient to the suggestions OF the
censor the press is simultaneously
leading two campaigns. OF which one
is addressed to enenv peoples and the
other is trying to influence public
opinion in the interior"
Seek to Impress Allies.
Evidently Germany still believes that
she can impress the minds Of the
peoples Of her enemies, the advice
says. and 1t refers to the Vorwaerts'
which says, the poilus do not hate
their German adverseries.,I-- The
koelnische Zeitung has a similar ar
ucte. Regarding the articles for in
terror consumption" the dispatch ex-
plains that Germany's leaders wish
the impression to become prevalent
that they have been sacrificed TO the
bellicose wills of imperialistic states
men. who are rejecting a peace which
could be easily concluded under favor
able conditions, were it not for their
vain desire for complete victory"
Tho Frankfurter Zeitung saws:
France must know that she is
addressing an adversary who, al
though ready for conciliation. re-
mains unmoved by threats. Threats
will not shake our resolution: they
will not lessen our determination to
bring the war to the issue neces-
sary to assure the integrity of the
Fathcrland."
"Proof of Our Righteousness.-
The Koelnische Zeitung adds:
Our enemies refuse peace. The
proof has been given of our right
eousness. The brutal manifestations
of Belfour and Clemenceau remind
all citizens of the absolute neces-
sity of defending themselves up to
the end"
1t appears, concludes the dispatch.
that the Austrian note has caused
more agitation in Germany than
anywhere else. This result, which
was perhaps not foreseen by the
authorities OF the peace maneuyrc,
furnishes an exact idea of the re-
spective morale in their camps, and
adds: Conceived at the wrong
moment. the Austro-German peace
maneuvre is turning against its
own authors"

VICTORIES ESTABLISH
NEW EASTERN FRONT
Armies in Balkan. and Palestine
May Force Separate Peace.

A new Eastern front has been es-
tablished with dire possibilities for
the central powers. 1t is the ever
growing menace of allied armies in
the Balkan theater and the tremen-
'dous menace that the British have
brought about through the successful
Palestine operations.
Military observers here believe the
next few days will see allied troops
hghting on Bulgarian soil In addi-
tion, they see the obiiteration of Tur-
key as an enemy
NOW is the time, in the opinion of
many persons in the Capital, for the
United States to put the finishing
touches to both Turkey and Bulgaria
oy declaring war against them, and
mus lending its moral support at
least TO its allies in the East. At the
State Department yesterday, how
ever, II was authoritatively stated
mat our relations with Turkey and
Bulgaria were unchanged.
Meantime, reports show, the allies
are sweeping everything before them
IN both theaters of the Eastern war.

Ssrians that at times II has taken fast

Official dispatches also reveal that
the capture of Prilep. the Bulgarian
stronghold. Is only a matter of time.
Official dispatches from France say
the successes gained by the allied
armies in Macedonia are assuming
the character of great victory.
Aside from the military features of
the day, though. there remains the
nrst belief-advai.c iced many times in
Wsshington-that Bulgaria, sever at

AUSTRIAN BARBARITY
INDICTED In FRANCE
Paris Press Arraigns Dupicity of
Central Power

The cynical barbarity OF Austria
Hungary toward the Czecho-Slo-
vaks is condemned bitterly by all
the French press, according to dip
lomatic advices yesterday.
They base their denunciation on
an official communique from Aus
trian headquarters. wherein the
capture of a trench on the italian
front, containing Czecho-slovak SOL
diers, Is mentioned in the following
words: THE majority of its occu-
pants suffered the fate they de-
served"
1t is thus that Austria, says the
dispatch. at the moment when she
is sending a whining note to all the
governments, a note addressed 10
the civilized world. shows her cyni-
cal defiance. 1t adds:
"She dares boast of having mas
sacred the soldiers of an oppressed
people, who were defending the
cause Of right for the whole of hu-
manity, together with the freedom
of their fatherland. All the French
newspapers draw attention to the
extraordinary cynicism with which
Austria proelaims her barbarity in
an official text"
