SOLDIERS AND GENTLEMEN

An army coming home victorious
from war is not always counted on
to exercise high moral influence.
Camps are not Sunday schools, and
behind the plaudits for the return
ing troops there are sometimes men,
tai reservations as to the effect on
social conditions of soldiery fresh
from a successful campaign. Yet
here is Secretary Baker asserting
that the greatest inheritance the
country will derive from the world
war will be the reflection upon it's
future government of the simple vir-
tues the men of it's armies have alb
sorbed in the training camps and at
the front.
That is a tribute probably never
before paid by war secretary to an
American Army. Its soldiers, as
the Secretary says, have not only
fought like heroes but lived like
gentlemen. They have gone singing
into action and helped the aged and
infirm women of France gather their
crops and cheered up the sad little
war orphans, and all the while their
private life has been clean and honor
able. And with this is the testimony
of Col. Whittlesey chat the enlisted
man is a wonder"
Obviously this development of
moral character in mass by our D.
100000 men overseas will be a po-
tent social force at home. 1t has
justified the temporary militariza-
ton of the Nation in an unforeseen
