powerless to resist the death grip

only way they can save themselves

ten ways to get q boche, Americas
lighting soldiers are learning the
rudiments in q few weeks training,
rudiments that instill perfect conf
dence in their ability to get the Hun
in hand-to-hand encounter.
Six hundred Fort Myer cavalrymen
are q living example OF the possibili-
ties OF jujitsu, and the huskiest
trooper is as a baby in the hands OF
the lightweight soldier when Il Is
brought into use. Offensive and de-
fensive are being taught at the same
time, and the sight OF 800 pairs of
arms and legs flying through the air
is a common sight at the jujitsu
drills every afternoon. Robbed Of the
necessity OF an actual killing, the
troopers call 1t play. but the training
is along the. line OF get the Boche

Smith has ten assorted methods. any
one of which will insure the Hun ly-

Our soldiers and sailors are not go ing to spend all their leisure time in the camp or training station. They nave an almost physical need for change of scene, for a change of social environment, for some revival of those relations to the community at large, 10 home conditions, and especially to girls and women, in which normal life so largely consists. If this need ioes not find its satisfaction in one way, it will find it in another.
 It is also outside the camps that the truest recreation will be found. These young mems hunger for change, for ordinary human society and surround ings, is a normal and a wholesome one. One commander who began by insist ing that his men should spend their leisure time in camp has ended by in- sisting that they shall spend it outside the camp in the neighboring communi- ties. Normal social intercourse is the best aid to health and to morale. The
  essary not only to prevent possible evil, but to provide by far the most effective means of making our men well and fit to do their best. "The spirit with which our soldiers leave America and their efficiency on the battle fronts of Europe will be vitaly affected by the character of the envi- ronment surrounding our military training camps"
 The method of doing the work is as follows:
 The Playground and Recreation As gociation of America sends to each community near training camp one or more of it's trained community or ganizers, whose business 1t is to form a strong representative local commit tee, with many sub-cOmmittees, and to cooperate with these in protecting the soldier from exploitation and making him feel at home. The Association is now working in 14O or more of these communities
 The Association also supplements To- cal resources, especially when the local community is small in proportion to the number of soldiers Gas for instance when there is training camp of 10000 men and the only community within reach of it contains less than 5000 inhabitants) by the provision of sol diers' clEHS and when necessary in other ways.
 AS to concrete achievement--hospi ta!ity is a matter of the spirit and can

# up for the Odd Fellows within the camp. They were able to invite their own members because the com mandant, Major General Hodges, had a census made of all the men in camp showing what church and what frater- nifty each man belongs to, of what col lege he is q graduate, whether he is fond of singing. what games he likes, and what his special hobby is. So that not only the Odd Fellows but every church, fraternity and college society can extend it's hospitality, indi- vidually and by name. to its own mem- bers among the officers and men. A similar census has been made at al- most all the camps.
 The Churches Doing Splendid Work.
 Many churches, in various communi- ties, have, at the suggestion of the local War Camp Community Service, started soldiers clubs. Many union churches have been built. Every where the soldiers are invited to the church services, and in some places the War Camp Community Service has arranged for special trains or had jit-

not adequately be described by a mere i catalogue of the forms it may assume. Certainly the spirit has been aOundanty present in these cOmmuni- ties near our training camps. The aid which the War Camp Community Serv- ice has been able to render in it's ex- pression is partly indicatt'i !Ae fol- i lowing account of some |" things that are being done.
 Soldiers Clubs.
 One form of this War Camp Commit nifty Service is the starting of soldiers clubs: clubs which the soldiers run themselves. usually through non-com- mssioned officers, in which they find opportunities for bowling, billiards, quiet games, a chance to smoke and talk and listen to music, to read or write letters, to receive their women visitors, to buy soft drinks, chocolate, and other things for which soldiers and sailors manifest a special hunger sometimes, especially in the case of the navy men, to secure nights lodg-
 ing. The largest of these clubs is at Newport where a tract of 125 acres has been secured, with an old mansion on it, now fitted up for all the pur- poses of club with a grove of trees ill which 100 hammocks have been siung. a bathing beach, ample oppor- tunities for every kind of outdoor game, an outdoor theatre at which last summer as many as 5000 navy men were sometimes present. The naval authorities have so appreciated the re- sources of this club that they spent $4,000 on a special foot bridge to con- meet 1t with the Navy Yard.
 Another club in Newport is located in the quarters on the government landing formerly occupied by a saloon, closed by Admiral Knight. There are a number of other cases in which this typical supplanting of the old order by the new has taken place.
 Athletics.
 Another thing the War Camp Com munity Service is doing is getting up games and athletic sports between sol diers from different camps. and be- tween soldiers or sailors and local teams. Some of the football games have attracted large crowds of specta- tors and the proceeds have been hand ed over to the soldiers to buy footballs or other athletic supplies.
 Moblizng Community Resources,
 The more important, though less visible, part of this Community Serv- ice is not in doing things directly for the soldiers but in getting the con- munity itself to do them

an opportunity tlaf belongs especially to those communities that lie near enough to the training camps to admit of the establishment of personal re1a- tions between the soldiers and the citi- zens.
