THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS
TEN COMMANDMENTS

Sergeant George Davis left Camp
Johnston Monday night for New
York. He sends US the following copy
of the American soldiers ten COM
mandments, and the Star viii guar
antee that none will live up to them
better than George.
1. Keep your eyes on the ready,
your ears at full cock and your mouth
at the safety notch, for it is your sol
dierly duty to see and hear clearly;
but as rule, you should be heard
mainly in the sentry challenge or the
charging cheer.
28. Obey orders first, and, if still
alive, kick afterwards, if you have
been wronged.
3. Keep your rifle or gun and your
accouterments clean and In good or
der, and yourself as clean as you can;
treat your animals kindly and fairly
and your motor or other machine as
though it belonged to you and was the
only one in the world. Do not waste
your ammunition, your gas, your
food, your time, nor your opportu-
nifty.
A. Never try to fire an empty gun
nor at an empty trench; but when
YOU shoot, shoot to kill, and forget
not that at close quarters, bayonet
beats a bullet.
5. Tell the truth squarely, face the
music, and take your punishment like
a man; for good soldier won't lie,
doesn't skulk, and is no squealer.
6. Be merciful to your foes and
shame them not, for you are man;
pity and shield the children in your
captured territory, for you were once
a helpless child.
z. Bear in mind that the enemy IS
your enemy and the enemy of hu-
manity until he is killed or captured,
then he is your dead brother or your
fellow soldier beaten and ashamed
whom you should not further humll-
late.
8. Do your best to keep your head
clear and cool, your body clean and
comfortable and your feet in good
shape; for you think with your head
fight with your body, stand and march
with your feet.
9. Fear dishonor, dread defeat, be
of good cheer and high courage, ano
don't shirk work or danger.
10. Fear not death, dread moi
wounds, suffer in silence and die
game

AMERICA CONSIDERS
THE MORAL EFFECT
That Japanese Invasion of Siberia
Would Have on the People
of Russia
ASSOCIATED Press,

Washington, March Cit was au-
thoritatively stated today that the
United States has sent no commune
cation to Japan on the subject of ac-
tion in Siberia, that if any views are
expressed they probably would be
conveyed through Great Britain, thru
which the United States will receive
all information on the situation. At
the same time, it is understood that
Japan understands the United States
is giving thought to the moral effect
in Russia Of such action and would
feel the absolute necessity must be
apparent before any action is taken.
These views have been expressed to
Great Britain.
