CARDINAL GIBBONS SAYS
OBEDIENCE WILL WIN WAR
Roman Catholic Prelate Urges
Men of Army to Obey God
and Their officers.

"Obey"
That was the central word about
which Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore
builded his sermon to the Roman
Catholic boys of Meade in the mass
held last Sunday on Liberty Field.
What he said was short, but filled
with wisdom and understanding.
Our Army" said his emnence,
marked by strict obedience. will be
irresistible"
This came from a kindly old man, a
churchman in his eighty fourth year,
and private soldiers and generals
alike realized how true was the in
junction and accordingly felt an i'm
pulse to live up to it that America
might be saved.
He spoke not of valor; he knew
there was no need. But he did speak
of wounds which might come to some
of his hearers. These. he said, would
be honorable marks of battle which
those who suffered would be proud to
exhibit to their children and grand
children.
To go abroad resolved to return to
those who held them dear, free Of lust
and with passions controlled: these
should be TIE high ideals of the Amer
lean soldier, said the cardinal.
ODey dOu anu the HllllldIN dulHOIl-
ties; love one another, regardless of
nationality or creed, and death upon
the battlefield. he concluded, would
find no soldier unafraid.
Rev. Ignatius Smyth of the Domihi-
can order, director of the Holy Name
Society, received 1000 soldiers into
the society pledged to refrain from
profanity. blasphemy and obscene
speech. He made a powerful appeal
that this pledge be always respected.

That rifle range excursion that the
Sl3th Infantry completed Saturday
morning was memorable because of
some good scores, but many bad ones,
and because everybody who took a
dip in the Patuxent took a regular"
bath in the showers when he got back

The "Y" men were as pestiferous
as the mosquitoes and ants. They

with stamps and "the Markings" and
when Miss Dorothy Wolf came down
from Philadelphia with her repertoire

THIS WAY FOR SMOKES, BOYS!
"Yo Eddie Club" of Bethlehem, Pa,
Gives Away Tobacco Here.

lie there are any Bethlehem boys in
camp who would like a smoke, the
way to get it is to write to the ''Yo
Eddie Club" of that city. Anyway
that's what Z. II. Buchanan of the
154th Depot Brigade. Attached to Com
spany d, 314th Infantry, says about
the matter. And he should know, for
he is Efpfs vice president of the club.
This "Yo Eddie Club" was started
when Bethlehem boys went to Mexico
and it has continued ever since. The
purpose was to form an organization
which would keep the soldiers in to-
bacco, and it has accomplished its
object When man leaves for the
service he is presented by the club
with a kit of tobacco worth $3.50.
One of the biggest drawing cards at
the entertainments the club gave was
abe quartet, which took a very active
mart in the minstrel show which
raised $4,000 for the tobacco fund.
And. best of all, this quartet is in
camp, over in the 310th Field Artil-
-7ery. Waldo Roberts, who was bass
soloist with the Neil O'Brien Ministries,
hits the lowest notes for the quartet.
The club sent $3.50 worth of tobac-
60 to Buchanan Sunday, the automo-
Aile bringing it, leaving Bethlehem
1t / am. and reaching Meade eight
hours later.

THE WAR 1T THE AIR.
Camp Library Has Thrilling Books
on That Subject.

Before the beginning of the Euro
pean war, aviation was very inter-
esting probability for the future. Up
to August, 1914, it was only an inter-
esting novelty that amused the popu-
lace at county fairs and might prove
of some value in scouting for the ar
mics of the future, if it were devel-
oped far enough
The war came. and in an instant all
was changed The warning nations
found that their aerial scouts were
far more reliable than the old time
cavalry, besides covering something
like twenty times the amount of
ground. The older arm was displaced.
And, as the war went on. aeroplanes
were found to have other uses than
the service of information Bombing
expeditions were organized that de-
stroyed ammunition dumps and bat
teries, aeropianes We're found to be
almost Indispensable to accurate ar
tillery fire, and these swift fighters of
the upper regions even invaded the
trenches and broke up infantry with
their machine-gun fire. Visit the
Camp Meade library and see books on
these subjects.
