DTNKTRK IN LIMELIGHT
French City is Mentioned More Than
 Any Others in War Accounts.

London, May 30.--Dunkirk The City of Dreadful Night" it is pointed out by a correspondent of the Daily Mail, has been mentioned perhaps more often in French communiGues during this war than any other city. There are weeks when it is rare for a communique not to conclude with the words, Enemy airplanes dropped bombs on Dunkirk during the night or "A Iong-range gun has fired into Dunkirk."
 That seaport, the nearest of all to the firing line, is now scarcely less dear to the hearts of the French people than Verdun, and, like Verdun. it has been decorated for it's courage under fire. Recently Frances biggest ship was launched there.
 The amazing thing about Dunkirk, the writer continues, is that it is still city It's inhabitants, refusing ito leave, have carried on is normal life with indomitable courage. Tramway cars run as usual along it's cobbled streets and weIl-stocked shops are open every day. Weekly in the main square, market is held and the count less stalls are well patronlZeu Dy Shrewd housewives
 The frequent bomba ments from sea, land and air are not laughed at, although they are taken as matter of course Bedrooms instead of being on the upper floors of the houses, are now in the cellars and public dugouts dot the town as do the air raid shel- ters of London.
 Scarcely house or wall in the town remains without its record of the enemy's continual efforts to destroy Dunkirk.

government has taken it without hesitation. Here is one case:
 Clean the street walkers from your boulevards and stamp out those dancing halls, halls where the bootleggers lie thick" warned the commanding officer of the camp. Cor not a man of my thirty thousand will enter your city"
 The mayor and the police of this city thought the general was blufflng but he was not bluffing. True to his word, he slapped an embargo on that en- terprising city; |. . not a sol dier was permitted to enter it. For thousand miles around the papers laughed in loud outlines. It did not take the officials of the town long to get it cleaned up after the citizens got together in an indig- nation meeting following this pub licity.
 In many communities the officials gave their fullest cooperation, how ever, from the first, and welcome d the opportunity to do so.
 AS 8 matter of fact, immense progress has been made to date in
 
 from the army. The commissions on training camp activities off cially estimate that the venereal disease rate has been reduced fif- ty per cent. since the beginning of the war. The significance of this fact can only be grasped after consid ering that our military strength has been more than
 
 supported by the records of Gen eral Pershing and Surgean-Gen- eral of the American army that the venereal disease rate of our army is far less than that of other warning nations. The repression of vice resorts in cities in inn mediate vicinity of camps which : was accomplished early in the war-year under the congressional enactment has developed into an attempt at repression of such places everywhere in sections wis., tied by our soldiers and sailors in large numbers.
 The work of the commissions has, in effect, become one of cleaning up the whole United States. Until May of this year over seventy red light districts had been wiped out. Forty-fve of these were not in the immedi- ate vicinity of military camps and did not therefore come within the prohibited zones provided for by the federal law. Their abolition was the result of cooperation of state and municipal authorities with the commissions.
 "The war must be won by man. power" Secretary Baker has said. The whole work of the commissions on training camp activities has looked toward the creation of fighters one per cent. efficient. We have profited by the "bulletless casualties" of other nations, whose thousands and hundreds of thousands of men, placed on the ineffective list through vene- real disease, remain behind the lines to be protected by the troops in the front line trenches who have kept themselves clean.

 the chapters devoted> to the various branches of the commissions work how the government is offering every incentive to the men to lead clean, wholesome, normal lives. The idea, as set forth by MT. Fosdick, is to make their everyday life so attractive that there would be no place for vice.
 One Town Cleaned Up.
 The subject of the influences of ve- nereal disease and alcohol upon the fighting efficiency of armies in the past has not been avoided. Within six weeks after the United States had entered the war, congress enacted special law, provisions whereby pros titution and liquor were absolutely forbidden within military eny1rons, and prohibiting the sale of liquor to uniformed men anywhere. The war department expected the fullest CO., operation of local communities in car rying out this law-not only the let ter of it, but the spirit as well. The law enforcement division of the commissions, aided by representatives of the department of justice. the army and navy intelligence departments, and other agencies, was assigned this work They sent men into the field to check up on the situation and follow up on it where the law was not being enforced. A few localities failed utterly to take the situation seriously And wherever drastic ac- +;o, has been found necesSary the
