1T is recognised BY all intelligent stu
dents of army life that morale Is vital
factor In the training and life OF our
soldiers" the Rev. Dr. Batten said. This
means that n heavy responsibility rests
upon moral and religious agencies. and
especially upon the churches.
There are two most important agen-
cies at work within the camp. the chap
lains and the Young Mems Christian
Association. However, the men when
OF duty leave the camp for recreation
and change. Fully 5000 men are on
duty In each camp during the day. Some
of the camps are located near cities
and this creates a moral problem or
great magnitude. The Government.
through the Commission on Training
Camp Activities Is doing much to pro-
vide wholesale recreation, and looks TO
the churches to do all in their power TO
help In this work"

now they are figuring close and going

while. according to reports. the smaller
