Generals commanding cantonments
and national guard camps are en-
thusiastic over the plan endorsed by
Secretary of War Baker to provide
entertainment for the soldiers. The
plan, It is felt in official circles, solves
many serious problems which camp
commanders faced in preserving
strict discipline and at the same time
allowing their men necessary relax
alton. Some OF The men, suddenly
taken from an everyday life where
they did about as they pleased. have
found relaxation in nearby cities and
towns near the camps where inau-
ences have not been Of the best.
Under the new plan, some o. the best
kinds Of entertainment the country
affords. including six or more Of the
seasons best successes, will be pre-
senteG in the camps, in theaters built
BY the government. Friends of the
soldiers throughout the United
States Will pay for the entertain
ment by buying Smileage books, con
tanning coupons passing soldiers to
