Your Bows Morals Safe.

American mothers with boys in the armies-a
word of cheer. Don't worry about the morals OF
your boy. Don't figure that army lite means he
is to be exposed than ordinarily to diseases
For he isn't. Your boy with Uncle Sans armed
forces is looked after even more carefully than
when he is at home. In your town he comes and
goes as he pleases In the army he is under strict
est wartime discipline. Uncle Sans doctors and
surgeons are on the job all the time to guard the
moral health of your boy. His health is an asset
to the army. His illness is debit.
H. H. Moore secretary of the committee for
civilian cooperation in combating venereal dis
eases, says:
"The lad who goes into the army has his time
so fully taken up that he has small chance 10 get
into mischief He is up early in the morning and
works in the open air most OF the day. When the
days work is there are abundant camp amuse-
ments to keep him occupied Leave OF absence
from camp is hard to get, if there is big city
nearby where authorities have not cleaned up the
town to suit the army officers"
This is also true when the boys land in France.
The very seriousness OF the job they are to under
take keeps them close to their camps. They un-
dergo an intensive training which occupies most of
their time Their days filled with tasks and
lessons, the nights in decent amusement. Leave OF
absence from camp is allowed with even less fire.
quency in France than here. The arrangement is
that soldier is to get few days off after certain
duty in the trenches.
He is not free to about France or to go
to Paris or other big unregulated cities. Instead,
he will spend his leave in large French towns
where the American army will undertake police
work to see that American boys do not get into
trouble.
"If people are interested in vice suppression" "
said Mr.. Moore, Il would advise them to look
around their home cities Patriotic citizens should
do what they to protect the boys still in civil
life who are in greater danger than their brothers
in the army cantonments, so when these boys are
called they will be in fit condition"

Americans in Line.

1t will be source OF pride to all Americans
that an emergency measure our troops IN the
training camps behind the lines In France are to be
brigaded with the French and British divisions; in
other words are to lose their identity American
units and become an integral part of the two main
allied armies.
Military experts here say that American bap-
tism of fire in this fashion will be one OF the most
inspiring and effective things for the allied cause.
Not only will it have direct and immediate influ-
ence on the morale of friends across the water
as already shown by the comment of the London
press-bu the use of the soldiers in this fashion is
the only manner in which they could be used on
the firing line in their present and unframed
condition We need further warning OF the
great crisis confronting civilization when we find
that this manner of increasing the allied reserves is
deemed necessary.
Now it will be easy to brigade our troops in
with the British and French, even with such small
units as the company and the battalion-and in
deed it will be necessary to break up our regi-
ments in this fashion to gain the fullest efficiency
from the merger" Literally men will be hght-
ing side by side and shoulder to shoulder with the
Tommes and the poilus. For the time being the
American army-save that portion of it holding the
Lorraine and Toul sectors-will go out OF exist
ence. In few days, perhaps, the news will be
streaming from the cables of how our men acquitted
themselves in some glorious counter offensive, or
sustained some new onrush of the Boches.
All the dispatches coming through last night in
dcated that new and greater phase OF the titanic
struggle is about to open. Hindenburg is not yet
ready to confess defeat How could he be- unless
he is willing turn the Prussian chslIce OF power
downward?

Mothers Of Men.

When a mother gives her three boys to Uncle
Sam, as has Mrs Cora B. Talley, of 1900 Third
street northeast, feel like taking of our hat
and exclaming Thank God for such women"
After ALL is there a greater heroism than to
raise three boys to manhood and send them all
to service, with a smile. We interested
when we heard of Mrs. Talley and her boys so
we asked for photograph The mother sent a
photograph of the boys, and we had to- insist
on having one of her, so that The Herald readers
might see what one more real patriotic Amer-
can mother looks like. Fortunately, the country
has countless thousands of such mothers, that
the honors for the ultimate decision in the war
will rest with them.
In all the mothers the real heroes
the SILENT cheerful, unobtrusive heroes. Through
out the world homes have been desolated by this
war-and never a complaint from those who have
suffered most
Nothing in this war has been quite as sub
lime as the sacrifice of these mothers. Nothing
to come after the will make for finer
quality of American manhood than their faith in
their country in its time of peril.

sympathies today, in answer to a
demand by Richard Fletcher that
the Philharmonic directors drop him
as conductor because of his nation
ality. Stransky said in part:
while I readily admit that dur
ing the first part of the war my
sympathies were with the German
people, I was not in favor of the
policies of the German government.

hardly revolutionary enough now to
attract more than cursory attention.
Which indicates the stupendous
pace at which We have been revolv-
ing governmentally during the past
year. We have just one thought
to offer in this connection. And IL is
that in our judgement the step
wasn't decided upon until the gov
ernment had allowed the packers
time in which to make good--an nd
had also allowed them time in
which to pick off some mighty fat
dividends. Some OF them can af-
ford to retire now. But when they
are retired We hope they'll stay
there. Incidentally, we hope that
governmental control, whether
drastic or semi-drastic, will be more
successful than the pretended con-
troll ~ regulation we have been
hearing about for the past three or
four years, II II isn't we'll go fas-
ter toward socialism-that is. part
OF our population will-than we've
gone up to this writing This is
written plain in the cards.
II the Wisconsin election didn't
go to suit you there need be no hard
feelings. Really the matter. as be-
tween Lenroot and Davies. is not of
mammoth Importance. Both are
good Americans. Both will act con-
scientiously and ably. Both are men
worth having as friends. Both are
good. Neither should have been as

visable to consider the constructions OF government
workers quarters in either the Mount Pleasant or
Rock Creek valley sections, in view of the traction
congestion which already exists there.
1t goes without saying that these barracks are
to be only temporary quarters; that workers forced
to live in them by stress of present Washington
conditions will constantly be the qui vve to go
elsewhere. For that reason the efforts OF private
builders to meet the new conditions should not be
slackened. The government plans to meet an
emergency in an excellent way; but il does not pre-
tend to have found more than an emergency solu-
ton.
