Pershing's Message to Mothers--May
Rest Assured That Their Sons Are

Washington, Jan. 22.-There never
lead as clean lives as the American
soldiers in Francs, Gen. Pershing said
in 4 cablegram today to Secretary Ba-
ker in reply to inquiries as to the truth
of reports of inamoderate drinking
among the men.
General Pershing's message was
made public by Mr. Baker in this let
ter to Governor Capper of Kansas:
You may recall writing to me sew
eral days ago concerning persistent
reports as TO the immoderate sale Of
liquor among our forces in France.
Ny impression was that these rurnors
were not well founded in fact; but
felt it my duty 10 convey their con-
tent to General Pershing and to ask
him 20 communicate with me as to the
facts You will be glad to know that
have just received the following
words from the commander of the
American expeditonary forces:
There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers in France.
They have entered this war with the
highest devotion 10 duty and with no
other idea than 10 perform these du-
ties in the most efficient manner pos
sible. They fully realize their obliga-
ton to their own people; their friends
and the country.
A rigid program of inspection is
carried out daily with traditional
American enthusiasm. They are en-
gagged in interesting exercises in the
open air with simple diets, officers
and men. like trained athletes, are
ready for their task. Forbidden the
use Of strong drink and protected by
stringent regulations against sexual
evils and supported by their own NOR
al courage, their good behavior is the
subject OF most favorable comments,
especially by our allies.
American mothers may rest az.
sured their sons are credit to them
and to the nation and they may look
forward to the proud day when on
the battlefield these splendid men will
shed new lustre on American man-
hood"
