MOST MORAL ARMY.

The more than million men Of the
American expedltionary forces eonsti-
tutes the most moral army in the
world, ACCORDING to official statements
of the United States medical corps.
Attributing the extremely low per-
centage of affected men in the army
to the medical programs of the United
States forces, medical officers say
that the two important factors in the
production of the most moral army
were vigorous work programs coupled
with the diversified recreations of the
camp and hygienic measures.
At am Getting Of the resea rch soci-
ETY. of the American Red Cross con-
sisting of the medical officers of the
United States Army, the plan now in
operation in the training camps Of
the United States, where illicit houses
and the liquor traffic is suppressed
was spoken Of as highly productive of
results.
The introduction in the training
camps of the United States Of athlet-
ic games, Libraries, recreation halls
under the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION and other organizations, lee
lures and wholesome amusements was
hailed as great step in the solution
of the problem of vice in the army.
The work of the chaplains, the uni
versities and the press also was men
toned as playing great part in the
alienation.
The education of men along moral
lines conducted by the medicl officers
through literature which was dis
tributed among the men, by exhibits
and through the agencies of the war
department commission of training
camp activities served to keep the men
in the right mental attitude toward the
problem, the medical officers stated

The first of these aero ambulances

tests have proven successful and pho-

instructions to prepare this emergen-

On the same day senator Chamber
lain attempted TO break the recess OF

three senators-not a quorum-an-

the house the following Thursday, and
passed IN three days.
The only essential difference in the
bills passes by the house and senate
was that the measure approved by the
upper body contained an anti-strike
provision.
The conferees, meeting August %,
decided to drop the Reed-Thomas

WORRYING HELPS THE KAISER

1t seems as if there never was q
time when there was so much 10 wor

OF us have to endure daily-and niobt.
ly-the thought of the vague enor
nous peril of those we love, who are
at distance that makes it beyond
cur power to cheer or soothe or com
fort them. Beside this one great
worry, all others are insignificant
Yet there are others, so many othersi
Help is difficult to get, if not imnossi-

Money grows scantier, and the need
OF 1T, both for ourselves and for 9TH
ers, was never so pressing. Food is
hard 70 procure, and when we have
procured it conscience will not allow
Us to eat in comfort. The same Is
true of fuel and clothing.
Yes, there never was a time wbon
worries were so descended upon us in
hocks and swarms. In the old ouiet
days, we knew that We worried NOT
because there was any real reason for
I, out because we were little over
strained and undernourished. some
light spiritual cloud had drifted across
a clear heaven, and for the moment
everything looked gray. Well, now
we are often a little under nourisbed
and always good deal over strained.
and the clouds are not light, but heavy
beyond anything we could have mag
med before. When had we ever a bet-
ter right to worry?
Yet, oddly enough, when we stop 10
think of it, good many CT us find
that we are not worrying so much as
we should have expected. The fact q
we are too busy. Worrying is, after
all, a spiritual luxury, a moral-or
immoral-dissipation. The enormous
rush of necessary action is so great.
the pressure Of actual, present evils
that demand all our thought and more
is so overwhelming, that we simply
have no time to brood upon the posi-
bilities of the future. We live from
minute to minute; the misery that to-
morrow may bring is sure to be some
thing no Worrying could anticipate.
Plenty Of us, however, still worry
much more than we ought. We ought
to stop it at once, to form the habit
of stopping it. Cool provision, wise
