PERSHING'S CARE FOR MEN
Reassuring Message Dr. Luther H. Gulick Brings
From France After Two Months Study of Moral
Conditions of the United States Army in France

THE most reassuring thing got
in France was General Per-
shing's attitude toward his men.
So far as know, he is the first mill
itary authority to realize that the
care of the men ranks with artillery
and submarines and aeroplanes in
winning the war. On his breakfast
table the one thing that appears
every morning is. a report on the
condition of the men from the diff
ferent parts of the field. He has re-
duced the rate of venereal disease
below that of any army in the world
and way below that of the civilian
rate in America.
Parents in America are afraid that
their boys will become debauched
and diseased in France. General
Bradley, who has entire charge of
all the medical force in the army in
France under General Pershing, tele-
graphed me the day before 1 left
Paris that the venereal rates of the
American Army in France week by
week since January 10 up to date
of sailing, averaged but one-third of
one per cent. This means that there
is only one man out of each 800 who
is incapacitated for service by ven
ereal disease. This is lower than can
be found among any other group of
men in America or elsewhere. The
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-18

Army instead of debauching men is
cleaning them up, making a more
moral atmosphere, and giving them
better opportunity for clean recrea-
ton than any city or town in
America.
The most critical time for a SOL
dier is the first two or three days he
spends in France. He knows things
are new, he knows he does not know
and he is reaching out with every
thing he has got in him to get hold.
General Pershing has commission
ed major who has exclusive charge
of matters at the ports. No soldiers
debark until there are adequate pre-
parations on shore to take care of
all the men in ways that are clean
and fine. The commanding officer of
each group of troops has to report
to General Pershing before he leaves
the port of debarkation as to the
exact number of men who have be-
come diseased while there. 1t is eS-
pressly stated in the Army orders
that the continuance of a man in
command depends upon a good rec
ord in this respect. This is not only
in Army orders but it is actually be-
ing carried out in practice. A man
can no more lose his men through
venereal disease and immortality
than he can waste them in battle
and retain command.-Association

SNAKES AS AN ASSET

Be careful how you kill snakes.
Few of them are poisonous, and they
are national asset worth many
millions of dollars. So says Gayne K
Norton, writing in American For
estry, Washington. Mr.. Norton is
afraid that one result of the intro
duction to outdoors given to thou
sands of indoor "tenderfeet' by the
new gardening impulse will be the
destruction of a large number of
snakes by "well-meaning but misin-
formed gardeners" The kind of mis-
information that Mr.. Norton fears
has, he says, been spread abroad for
generations, so that there is a very
general tendency to kill snakes on
sight" And yet. every time a snake
is killed more damage is being done
than good" Farmers should protect
and breed harmless varieties of
snakes that destroy really harmful
vermin-and these embrace a large
proportion of the whole snake fam
lily. Writes Mr.. Norton:
Reptiles may not manifest friend
ship toward us, few would welcome
such a condition, yet they are not
enemies. They never attack unless
in self defense. OF our Ill species
L
Flaps, coral snakes, and 15 species
of crotaline snakes, the copperhead
and moccasin. the dwarf and typical
rattlesnakes. On the other hand, the
help they render is valuable. The
pests destroyed each year, especial
ly the rodents that injure crops and
carry communicable diseases, roll up
a large balance of good service in
their favor.
Rodents are destroyers of farm
products, cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation
from electric wires, and of human
life through germ-carrying, particu-
larly the bubonic plague. Before the
war the United States Department of
Agriculture placed the bill at $780,
0OO, 900, one-fifth of which equals the
loss of grain. With advanced prices
this is increased"

1t. flguratively speaking. just before
the war broke out, and there would
net be so blamed many Made In
Germany" pencils In this country to-
day If It had not been for the twen-
ty per cent. cut In the duty rate
made by the Underwood tariff law.
Fifteen hundred employees Of the
Eagle Pencil Company, New York
City, petitioned the Democratic COM
mittee not to reduce the duty on
pencils. stating that 1--WE have al
w=ys received fair wages" and that
the Republican duty rate has pro-
tected us on cheap and medium
priced pencils which, on account of
cheaply from Germany and Austria
that our very positions are threat
ened." Five thousand people were
dependent for their living on this
company alone, and many other COM
panies ased for a continuance of the
Republican duties. Yet the muggin-
ses who pushed the present tariff
law through, sat in their seats and
smiled and declared for foreign COM
petition. The Democratic officials in
charge of the State Administration
of Ohio were simply being supplied
pencils of which their Democratic
brethren higher up, and their Presi-
dent, still higher up, had enabled
the importers to lay in four years
stock, and the money for them has
been spent by the Germans in killing
our Allies long ere this. So doth a
pencil point a moral. Let Ohio re-
form, and let the rest of the country
sign the pledge to abstain from free
trade henceforth, and sign it with
an indelible pencil Made in Amer
lea"

German Papers Disappear
TEditor and Publisher.I

Growing mortality among the Ger
man newspapers in America is evil
dencing the fact that Americans OF
German stock are aligning them
selves with the ideals and war aims
of the United States, according to
julius Koettgen, assistant secretary
of the Friends of German Democ-
racy, New York.
A survey has just been made of
the German newspaper field in Amer
lea by the organization, which is
sending out a weekly bulletin to
these papers. Within the last two
weeks, about a dozen newspapers
have notified the Friends of German
Democracy that they have discon-
tinued publication. One newspaper,
the Texas Deutsche Zeitung, of Hous-
ton, Tex, wrote that it had suspend
ed publication until after the. war.
This high death-rate among the
German papers," Mr.. Koettgen said,
Shows conclusively that the Ger
man speaking population of this
country is anxious to become assimi-
lated as never before. 1t bears out
our belief that the overwh Ginning
majority of Americans of German
birth or descent are eager to array
themselves on the side of democ-
racy.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

The Marital Adventures of Henry
and Me, by William Allen White.
Illustrated by Tony Sarg. The Mac
milan Company, publishers, New
York, $3.50.
To use the words of the author,
this volume is a humorous account
of the experiences of two middle
aged old coots who go out to a ruth
less war without their wives They
have commissions in their pockets
from the American Red Cross, and
they are going to the front in the
interest of that organization. Their
story is distinguished by an abun-
dance of good spirits. 1t is TYPICAL
ly American, eXemplifying the buoy
ant, whole-hearted fashion with
which thousands of Americans nave
entered upon a great task, conhcent
that there is much that is unpleasant
before them, but resolved to make
the best of things. With its humor
and it's general tone of wholesome
ness it is a valuable antidote to the
numerous publications which have
over-emphasized the grimness and
horror of the war.
The Dark People, Russia's crisis,
by Ernest Poole. The Macmillan
Company, publishers, New York;
price $3.50.
Mr.. Poole, who has recently re-
turned from Russia, seeks in TINS
book to discover the constructive
forces at work building nation. He
deals, first of all, with Petrograd, the
Kerensky government, various polfti-
cal parties and the Council of Work
men and soldiers. Then he takes up
the army, and after that the rail-
roads, the industrial and labor prob
lens and the question of food and
supplies. All of these considerations
lead finally, he finds, to the peasants,
commonly called The Dark People
The last half of his work is there
fore centered on them. Russian Re
ligion, the Peasants Congress, the
attitude of the peasants toward the
war, the revolution, the city work
men and the land-these topics are
considered in the successive chapters
of a wholly remarkable and inform
ing volume.
