AMERICAN SOLDIERS
LEAD CLEAN LIVES
SAYS GEN. PERSHlNG

In reply to inquiries as to the re-
ports of immoderate drinking among
the men, General Pershing, on jan
uary 22nd, cabled to Secretary Of War
Baker that there has never been a SIM
liar body of men to lead as clean lives
as the American soldiers now in
France.
General Pershing's message was
made public by Mr.. Baker in this let
ter to Governor Capper, Of Kansas:
You may recall writing to me sew
eral days ago concerning persistent
reports as to the immoderate sale OF
liquor among our forces in France.
My impression was that these rumors
were not well founded in fact; but I
feIc->it my duty to convey their con-
tents to General Pershing, and to ask
him to communicate with me as to
the facts. You will be glad to know
that have received the following
words from the commander of the
American expeditionary forces:
There has never been a similar
body Of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers in France. They
have entered this war with the high
est devotion to duty, and with no other
idea than to perform these duties in
most efficient manner possible. They
fully realize their obligation to their
own people, their friends and the
country.
"a rigid program of instruction is
carried out daily with traditional
American enthusiasm. Engaged in
healthy interesting exercises in the
open air, with simple diets. officers
and men, like trained athlates, are
ready for their task. Forbidden the
use of strong drink and protected by
stringent regulations against sexual
evils and supported by their own
moral courage, their good behavior is
the subject of most favorable COM
ments, especially by our allies.
American mothers may rest as
sured that their sons are a credit to
them and to the nation, and they may
well look forward to the proud day
when on the battlefield these splendid
men will shed q new lustre on Ameri-
can manhoQd.'H
