the Knights OF Columbus, Jewish
Welfare Board, Salvation Army, etc.
These papers have sought to define
the place al every welfare institution
within ttle camps. The work OF the
War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities, which is the
eo-ordinating and supervising body
Tor all activities projected into the
camps, has been explained and cur
rentiy reported.
Some time ago the War Department
Commission on Training Camp Ae-
tivities prepared new set of boxing
rules for all the camp and canton
fnents. Every boxing match that was
held in the camps after the decision
was made to publish these rnles was
to ~ hsId uader the sauetioas AID
pIohInftioas Of fhat code. Realizing
the popularity vi boxing among SOL
dirrs. TreDct1 aas Camp arranged for
tic ifniaeeiate publication OF these
rules al over the UEttsd Gtaees. This
was done. Of coarse, with the CO.
operation and approval OF the War
Department Commission.
These are but few Of the setivities
OF the charm Of newspapers. Our files
would show how important q part
these papers have played and how
much appreciated has been the service
rendered.
an this is history.
Now as TO the future:
Mere than ever Trench and Camp
wants TO be a soldiers newspaper. Il
has learned lessons from the past 1t
will profit by mistakes. How to
achieve its primary aim is better ur-
derstood than ever. The primary aita
is to produce a camp newspaper that
shall reflect the life and spirit Of the
camp and shall at the same time in
cnicate the spirit OF the whole army
into the civilian being transformed
into a soldier.
The most important factor in the
success OF the camp newspaper is the
cooperation Of gile. soldiers them
selves. In our great camps and car
tonnen4s there are ensugh newspaper
men in every divisional camp to MAN
complete daily Newspaper. To then,
the smell Of printers ink ought to
be Sufficient lure to bring them into
contact with the Trench and CAM
management, especially when an or.
PoTtlITlity is afforded 70 reader a reel
service.
1t has been suggested at differer,
times that prizes be offered by the rs
tioRal organization Of Trench arr
Camp for the best editions pToducs I
in any given week. For a time th,&
plan was eozsidered seriously; bat j.
wSs decided tlaat it was unfair, for tbs
reason that facilities for producing
camp Newspapers differ according q
localities. In one city where TreneA
and Camp is produced the local editor.
a painter holding a union card, had to
set type occasionally. In other eities
there are batteries of linotype ms
Chimes and the most up-to-date eeuis-
ment.
incidentally it may be remarked that
the suggestion for prize award orig
mated in the fertile mind Of one Of
the most enteFprasirg and successful
of our camp editors.
But all this is beside the point. The
important thing is that every unit in
. camp should name a Treaxh and
Camp representative Then his hands
should be upheld. He should be as
sisted in getting the news.

4 sTArEMENr ARouT rRENcH AND cAMp

The camp newspaper is typically
American institution.
The American mind has lent itself
completely to the newspaper habit.
The average man reads not one, but
two Or three daily newspapers in civil
life.
Long before the great camps and
environments were erected it was fore
seen that the newspaper reading habit
would be carried into the training
places.
II was a civilian habit that army life
could not shake gilmore than that,
1t was civilian habit which it was to
the best interests of the army to pre-
serve.
Therefore, just about a year ago,
the idea of chain of camp nczs-
papers was rrojefsed. Mr.. JOIN
Stewart Rrysa, PISS slisher cf the 6sc5a-
mond News Leader, conceived ths
plan. It occurred 10 hs11 that If he,
as a newspaper ogIer, were wiling
70 turn his plant 10 thc use Vi tie sol
diers for the production of their own
newspaper, other publishers in cities
adjacent to the camps and canton
nlents would be willing to do the same
thing. Mr. Bryan made tour Of the
country and stated his theory to the
puhligaers By common consent they
entered heartily into the spirit of the
project. The contribution they have
made since 10 the happiness and
morale of the army cannot be esti-
mated.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, through it's National War
Work ConncA, announced to Mr.
Bryan that it would under write the
proposition, paying for white paper
and other incidental costs, a financial
outlay by no mean to be ignored.
When the camps were ready to be
opened, the Trench and Camp chain
of newspapers was ready to be 1aunch-
ed The success Of this chain cannot
be questioned. Half a million soldiers
are appealed to every week through
its, columns and they in turn send the
paper home. Thus Trench and Camp
furnishes the men with newspaper
describing the activities of the differ
ent units within the camp and also
keeps the people at home posted on
what is happening. MoEe people have
heard more about the intimate details
of arEny life through the columns Of
Trench and Camp than through any
other medium.
There are some difficult situations ia
which soldiers find themselves. BY
word Of instruction, explanation and
admonition, Trench and Camp has
sought to make these situations less
difhc1iit. These is ample testimony to
the success of this effort.
In the work of the reclamation ser.
vice Of the QuzrteEuaster's Depart
ulent Trerch and Camp has Mayed a
definite part. II has airaed 10 show
the men IN the camps the necessity for
conservation, the necessity for pre-
venting waste. In the general Offices
OF the newspaper chain there are let.
ters expressing tic gratitude of the
War Department for Trench and
Camps efforts in inf pyeting this spirit
OF the reclamation lsergiee 10 the men.
In the Liberty Loan Drives Trench
and Camp played g large part, II
addressed the homes through the men.
1t carried the message as no other
medium could have carried it that the
Liberty Loan meant everything to the
men under arms.
So with the Red Cross Drives, the

Our Weekly Fable In Slang
By BARTON RICHARDS

Appearances are very often deceit
full, Several instances bear me cut IN
this statement For instance the we'll
known American institution, the army
mule. Approaching him from south
easterly direction, some pleasant after
midst OF a pasture field with benign
look in his eye To all Appearances he
is at peace with the world.
As he stands there with his tele-
scope ears playing tag with young
army Of blue bottle flies, his great
mulish heart seems to be swelling with
brotherly love for the whole world
including an army mule skinner, and
If you look him square in the eye, you
can see malice for none and charity
for ALL sticking cut like a sold bar on
a new second lieutenant
Taking his appearance u face value
you feel a great bond of fellowship
arise underneath the third button on
your vest, and you walk up to Mr.
Mule determined to pet him on the
neck and call him some confectionery
names
After the NJ n, sets your arm and
gives YOU g cgutch for your sprained
ankle, ans Ss's you coat 10 take the
place OF Ora ope You had when you
starred io make friends with the mule,
you realize very poignaHtly that APP
pearanoes are daceltful
Its a whole LOT the same way with
people, A mule is merely a eouseien-
tious objeetor compared 70 some Of
his relations that walk on two feet
an das for deceit compared 10 some
folks a mules countenunee is . $ open
as a Waterbury watch
Then again the rule works in re-
Yer. English, Looking al soma Of
these bun dogs with am improving
face and undershot jaws gives you
the idea that they could wallop their
weight in wildcats, They have teeth
that look dike the shi bone OF shet-
land pony, and their general appear
ance reminds you OF lower East Side
gunman with skinful OF coke. Yet
some morning you walk down the

the same problems that city Of sim
liar size would present. Study the
newspaper of cities between 10000
and 10000 population. They are filled
with personal news, gossipy para
graphs. And the successful newspa-
pers are those that record everything
worth printing.
The deduction Is obvious. The
Trench ard Camp pages should be

Suppose we all get together on this
