Director Roehrig asserted that sam

they are used extensively for purposes

The library at Camp Meade would

about the Red Cross, and the men in

out its long arms and swats the prof.

ORGANIZING MORALS IN THE

By ], E. Jones.)

[ have been watching the long irreg-
ular lines of Soldier boys" as they
have trailed into this great training
camp today. Their careless, shutting
gaits, and their wiIted collars AMI
shirts, and their citizens clothes,
match up very well with the shyness
and embarrassment occasioned by the
newness of this mode of life.
i have likewise watched another
line, that has been going from the
camp; and my emotions were mixed
as l saw them entraining, for they
were bound for ports of embarkation.
These Soldier boys" were men-their
gaits were regular and firm; their
shoulders were thrown back and their
khaki uniforms harmonized with the
expression on each young face. AS
their cars pulled out of sight their
voices floated back upon the air. eve
