SOLDIERS ENTERTAIN
AT STAPLETON

The good people of Stapleton, Ga. were
highly entertained by the excellent pro-
gram offered by soldiers from Camp
Hancock on last Tuesday evening.
The program was opened by an over
ture by Corporal Wilkinson of the Mill
tary Police. This was followed by q re-
vue of the popular songs by the entire
company. Local talent in Stapleton then
staged a mock wedding which was very
amusing. Private NJ. A. Kinder of the
Military Police and Private R. B. McCor-
mick of the Signal Corps then pleased
the audience with two with two popular
song selections. This was followed by a
piano solo by N. It. Becker of the Mill
tary Police, and a comedy number by
Mountcastle of the same company r. b.
Mccormick then sang a tenor solo in his
usual pleasing style, followed by a violin
solo by Frank Garrigus. A chorus of pop
ular songs was the next feature, followed
by monologue by Theodore Huber OF
the Military Police, a solo by Kinder with
the Star-Spangled Banner, completed the
program.
The entertainment was given at the
Woman's Organization of Stapleton for
the purpose of helping to lift the debt on
the new school auditorium. Over one
hundred dollars was cleared
There is probably as much talent among
the Military Police as in any other organ
ization in the Twenty eighth Division, but
owing to their somewhat strenuous du-
ties, they do not often get an opportunity

SAFEGUARDING SOLDIERS
BY THE SECRETARY WAR

In the training camps already estab-
lished or soon to be established large
bodies of men, selected primarily from the
youth of the country, will be gathered to-
gether for a period of inclusive discipline
and training. The greater proportion of
this force probably will be made up of
young men who have not yet become ac-
customed to contact with either the sa-
loon or the prostitute, and who will be at
that plastic and generous period of life
when their service to their country
should be surrounded by safeguards
against temptations to which they are not
accustomed.
Our responsibility in this matter is not
open to question. We cannot allow these
young men, most OF whom will have been
drafted to service, to be surrounded by
a vicious and demoralizing environment,
nor can we leave. anything undone which
will protect them from unhealthy infiu-
ences and crude forms of temptation,
Not only have we an inescapable respons-
Utility in this matter to the families and
communities from which these young men
are selected, but, from the standpoint of
our duty and our determination to create
an efficient army, we are bound, as mill
itary necessity, to do everything in our
the vitality of the men in the training
camp.
1 am determined thas our new training
camps, as we'll as the surrounding zones
within an effective radius, shall not be
places of temptation and peril The
amendments to the army bill recently
passed, copy Of which | enclose here
with (Sections II and 49,, give the War
Department more authority in this mat
ter than we previously possessed. On the
other hand we are not going to be able to
obtain the conditions necessary to the
health and vitality of our soldiers, with
out the full cooperation or the local au-
thOrities in the cities and towns near
which our camps are located, or through
which our soldiers will be passing in tran
SAL = otner points.
AS / say, the War Department intends
to do it's fun part in these matters, but we
expect the cooperation and support of the
local communities. If the desired end
cannot otherwise be achieved, 1 propose
to move the camps from those neighbour
hoods in which clean conditions cannot
be secured.

Secretary of War

THE WHITE in OUR FLAG

by Rev. George Craig Stewart, D. D.)
There. is a menace to the white in
that flag which we avoid speaking of
and yet 1t must be faced. White
means purity 1t means clean bodies,
clean minds, clean morals. 1t means,
above all. honor to womanhood. Yet,
during the first eighteen months of
European war England had more men
incapacitated for service by Venereal
disease, contracted in mobilization
camps, than by all the fighting at the
front. Our own mobilization camps
along the Mexican border were ringed
round by dives unspeakable. Whole
companies-yes almost whole regi-
ments--took incubation for diseases

that means? 1t means the transform
alton of gallant boys and men into
walking pestilences, into pitiful lepers.
many of whom will carry through life
the terror of their sins and even
transmit to further generations the
seeds of blindness and insanity. Do
I startle you when I tell you plainly
that it is estimated that among the
soldiers in Europe there are today
100000 syphilics? And your boy
or mine is going to hazard his life for
his country. Must he also lose his
soul? The nation has listened to the
appeals we sent in last winter. Pro

and 1t is to the great credit of the Y.

made to stimulate and strengthen our
boys against temptation; but, when all
Is said and DONE it is up to the boy
himself. up to the father and mother
who gave him clean birth, up to the
principles of conduct that were drilled
into him in youth up to the standards
Of character which were exemplified
by his father and mother and comrades
at home.
We pray for them that they may be
clean and that means that WE must
be clean. We honor the flag. 1t is

ADVICE 5000 YEARS OLD
UNHEEDED BY SOME

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister,"
And call understanding thy lnswoman:
That they may keep thee from the strange woman.
A young man void of understanding
Passing through the street her corner
Went way to her house
In twilight, in the evening of the day.
With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield
With attering of her lips she forceth him along
He goeth after her straightaway,
AS goeth to the slaughter
Or as one to the correction of the foo1;
AS a bird hasteth to the snare,
Till an arrow strike through his liver;
And he knoweth not that is for his life.
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me.
And attend to the words of my mouth,
Let not thy heart decline to her ways;
Go not astray in her paths.
For she hath cast down many wounded;
Yea all her slain a mighty host.
Her house is the way to Sheol.
Going down to the chambers of death.

In the fresh keen hour of youth.

GERMAN JOURNALS TELL
TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA

New York.-German newspapers have
informed their readers that New York
city. for its protection. has girded itself
with barbed wire fence 625 miles in
length. The Germans also have been
told that fifty thousand soldiers are
guarding the port of New York, that rig
orous measures have been taken in Chi
cago and elsewhere and that Hoboken
is deserted Under the caption Amer
lean War Fever" the Cologne Gazette
of Jan. Is, copy Of which has been
received in this city publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch under an Amsterdam
date:
1T is reported from New York that a
barbed wire fence of over 1000 kilo-
meters in length has been drawn around
the docks and piers Of New York. This
York and also the adjoining cities of
Brooklyn, Hoboken and Jersey City. No
one is allowed to pass through this fence
without permission, especially no enemy

Immediately Shot.
Fifty thousand soldiers have been de-
tailed to guard the port terminals. Any
person found lettering in the vicinity
shot All Germans who either reside or
work within the barbed wire zone must
vacate the district Immediately.
"In Chicago some $4,000 Germans have
been forced to move out of the harbor
district. These rigorous regulations have
caused great excitement among the busi-
ness men of the entire country because
they are compelled to do without their
German employees if their places are near
the docks. A delegation of master butch
ers have vainly pleaded for an allevfa4
ton of these regulations.
THE Germans, who in Hoboken had
built up colony resembling little
piece of Germany, have all been forced
to leave and that port, which already
had suffered heavily from the war, is now
absolutely deserted"

ALLOWS MILITARY COURSE
Win Mean Establishment of Train

During Term.

There is a possibility that a
course in military training will be
started in the Rock Island high
school during the present term.
According to a letter received by
z. G. Fisher, superintendent of city
schools, a plan is under consider
alton by the committee on educa-
ton and special training of the war
department in Washington, which
if decided on, will mean the estab-
lishment of training corps in the
secondary schools and will apply
to the local institution. The plan
would offer military training to the
students enrolled under the direct
supervision of the war department.
In the letter Mr.. Fisher received
it is stated that the committee has
not as yet made any definite step
towards allowing the plan but as
soon as final arrangements are
made the local officials will be ad-
vised.
