CAMP LEWIS RECRUITS GET
 SQUARE DEAL

i CAMP LEWIS Tacoma. Oct &1 "Throwing soldier into th" guard house" for slight infractions of discip. line is discountonanccd at Camp Lewis and courts martial are under the ban also except for severe cases To bring this to the attention oI yodng onicor- q memorandum prepared hy the juIg" aGvucatr.s office recently was pub. Hshcd here The last paragraph sums up what i, expected ot an officer. It says
 Let the officer remember that II i- his duty To mah" soldiers rather than prisoners tho ranks oucI with good soldiers will win in the end. but pen itentiarirs filled with prisoners will result only in internal trouble and unrest The officer who makes ten soldiers from ten recruits has per formed his duty. but the officer who makes mnotyninc soldiers out of hundred recruits and. through lack of patience. tact or Judgment, aids the rhundredth. man to become a general prisoner and probable criminal. has failed in the concept and execution of hGs commission"
 The higher officers realize the change in bringing d man from civil life to the army and the memorandum says on this point
 "OniCers should never forget that these recruits are from an entirely dif1ersnt mode of life and govern mcnt, that they have been used to | little or no discipline and that the | cross grained nature and character, in- 1 to d smoothly working organization 1 must necessarily result in consider able minor friction and disturbance, l but that with the exercise of patience, l tact and discriminating judgment in | the individual case. this disturbance and friction can and should be reduced tn minimum.
 ! The memorandum also says all pun ishment should be based upon the principle of reformation rather than yindictiyc justice and no recruit should be punished for the sol" purpose of aiding an officer to maintain a per sonaI end.
 This memorandum said on officer who has been many years in the ser vice. shows nor" clearly than any thing else that when recruit is in ductcd here he will have a square deal Many men expect to be ac-
 ually manhandlcd by their officers and be forced to lose every shred of individuality. If the truth were only known it would be found that officers themselves are forced to undergo dis C;plinc much more strict than that of the men. In Camp Lewis il has become case of the officer getting along with his men instead of the men getting along with their officer"

 The gun crew and ship crew guar ters are separated. the former being placed where their occupants can jump to their positions on the gun stand on an instant's notice. These quarters are very comfortable also
 Safety devices for the crew are to be seen everywhere but the nature of many of them cannot be divulEri. Needless to say the engineers and stokers do not have to depend on the usual exits They have other means of getting to the deck, and of shutting of water as they climb. Protection is paramount to construction with the wartime cargo carriers.
 The spirit of plenty that character izes the wartime shipping boom is as evident in this community as else where. The workers ride to their toll in automobiles and strings of their cars line the entrances to the plant.
 No one not knowing the run" of the plant could select the presidents s quarters from any other office in the administration building from the mere standpoint of the interior decoration. The plant is run on the basis of a shoulder-to-shouldcr proposition with only the thickness of white collar separating the grimed mechanic from the big boss

from the officials for her work at the

A word must be said about the

socks for the soldiers. The knitting

You see, the Red Cross has allotted
100000 pairs of socks to the Atlantic
division, all to be finished by Sep

Among the star performers are Au-

to the interest, the men are racing
with each other and with the women
to see who will turn out the greatest
