JUDGE LINDSEY IS
 WAR TIME WORKER
Believes Camp Community SerV-
 ice Keeps Men Living Clean


 1 New York, Aug. 2S.-Judge Ben i just returned from a trip of several months through England, France 1 and Italy, has become an enthusiastic l worker in the ranks of the War Camp Community Service for the Commis- sions on Training Camp activities of the war and navy departments. So 1 imbued is he with the conviction of i the fundamental necessity of this { work, as result of his observation of the armies abroad, that he says:
 If l had my way. War Camp Com rnunity Service would follow the American soldier around the world England and France especially are in crying need of the kind of work we 1 are doing here through War Camp 1 Community Service. Tn both Eng l land and France we would find the l people ready to cooperate with us and the soldiers themselves ready to welcome us. All of those who have 1 been privileged to visit the front ! testify to the fine physical and mental condition of our boys I am con- 1 Vlnced that one cause is the kind of i work that has been done for our 1 fighting forces by the people at home.
 Communities Are Responsible.
 War Camp Community Service is dOlng it's work in a sane and whOle- some way. In the cities and towns
 near our great training camps it is l hghtlng vice, disease and crime as I
 had hardly dared expect to see these eVll forces fought in this war The
 big secret of successful work in this l very important field has been dis 1 covered by War Camp Community l Service. It recognizes many of ou, 1 difficulties to be just as much | "human' as moral" problems.
 Frankly, 1 think they are a great
 deal more Truman" Therefore they
 must be met in a human way. This Is the slogan of war Camp Community l SerVlce 1t strikes at the root, the
 cause of bad things. It does this simply by providing good things that 1 are just as acceptable.
 But to accomplish this there must
 someone | direct. War Camp Community Service l conducts the activities for good. with l a force uneQualed and at an expense to the community not one hundredth ] part as large as that which the com l munity paid when it left it's boys and girls to the forces of evil The com | munity must pay in either case. It's i people must choose as to the manner | in which they pay. While every man is responsible for himself and his i own conduct there is also just as big a responsibility on the community for ! the soldier boys in it's midst as there is upon the parent in the home for the child"
 ] Victory is Certain.
 I "I have gradually come to see this War from two major angles First there is the physical side. That is, it's forces of violence. These depend up- on the physical strength the equipment of the soldier, and what he does with 1 these agencies. Then there is the spiritual or moral side. The spiritual and moral aspects of the problem are { closely linked with what we do for i the soldier. Generally speaking, how well the soldier does his part depends ! in very large measure upon how well we do our part
 The extent to which the moral and i physical aspect or angle of the war 1 has been emphasized is profoundly 1 stimulating. It presents one of the | most promising phases of the World i Conflict as it relates directly not only l to the welfare of the soldier but to 1 the welfare of all of our home com ! munities as well.
 "Never before in the history of the 1 world, speaking from the angle of 1 physical force and violence, were 1 there such instrumentalities of devas- | tation as the aeroplane and the sub l marine, to say nothing of the essen- tially brutal poison gas, the use of which was initiated by the Germans. ! The Allies have been compelled to meet the forces of violence projected | hV the enemy with equal or inferior 1 violence, just as we meet one poison with another that serves as an anti l dOte. But the Allies stand alone in the use of finer and higher forces which find their expression in part in 1 the great services being rendered hu- 1 manity by the agencies working for l the Commissions on Training Camp Activities. Because of their appeal to 1 these finer and higher forces the AL lies are bound to triumph
 Evils Have Been Conquered.
