LONDON April 19 - Correspondence of The Ass ocated PresS) "Ten weeks spent in the war zone con- vnces me that the morale and morals of the American soldiers in France are in full accord with the finest trad tions of American and credit to the social and religious standards of American society,", said Dr. A. Polling of Boston, Associate President of the United Society of Christian Endeavor in an interview with the Associated Press his arrival in London on his way to America.

 "NIv whole experience convinced me that the admin straton of our war activities in France is amazingly efficient Our railroads camps, our food our water supply and our rapidly increasing military equipment are miracles of swift and through achievement.
 "In the business of keeping soldiers physically and morally t the program of our military authorities is the comprehensive and aggressive ever laid out by nation at war The stories of wholesale drunkenness and vice circulated in quarters at home concerning the American ExpeditiQnary Forces false While some men and groups of men have committed grave eX- cesses and shamed their uniforms the small number ot those in proportion to the total number under arms is source of qualification and pride to every citizen who be- lives in the moral soundness of American society. My own investigations substantiae the figures already made public by the Army Medical Department which prove that the American soldiers in France is living higher al plane than the moral plane of American civilian life General Pershng and his associates deserve not reso uon of inquiry and but vote of confidence and the assurance of the nations whoehearted cooperation and support.
