CHAIN GANG
BACK AGAIN

For the first time In several
years, "chain gang" of police
prisoners was instituted Tuesday,
and may become permanent in
in Tacoma.
Six prisoners, under guard of
Officer James Angus, were taken
in the police patrol to the White
Shield home, So. SEND and State
sts., and will be busy for the next
week or so clearing away brush
on the home grounds and pro-
pairing the soil for spring gar
den.
The White Shield home. an in
stitution maintained by the w. c.
T. U. for the care of unfortunate
girls, asked Police Chief Smith
recently IL he could donate pris-
oners to help prepare a garden.
The girls will care for the garden
once the brush is removed and
the soil spaded. Officials of the
home agreed to pay for the serv-
ices of the guard, so that there
would be no additional expense,
and Chief Smith readily agreed.
Tools were borrowed from the
public works department.
II am considering the perma-
nent establishment Of q chain
gang for city prisoners" said
Chief Smith today. I'VE might
as we'll have these fellows work
for the good of the community as
to let them lie In Jail and get fat.
l think that the next chain gang
to be turned out for work will
have the task Of clearing away all
brush and rubbish from the bluff
overlooking the waterfront. be-
tween 18th st. and Old Tacoma.
The police chain-gang was
several years ago aft
err protests were made that prls-
oners were subjected to improper
ridicule by being forced to exhibit
publicly.

The social measures are many.

Through the war department.
commission on training camp &C
tivities, the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, the Knights of
Columbus, and similar agencies,
we have proper social surround
ings and recreation for the men
both in the camps and in the
towns near the camps. The whole
idea is to encourage the estab-
lishment of such play places as
will give the men wholesome
amusements and will give them
no excuse for seeking vicious re-
sorts. This Is largely matter
for civilian enterprise.
When we come to the second
line of defense we come nearer
to the scope of the army itself.
Medical and line officers give lee
lures to the men in which they
tell in plain unvarnished English
just what syphilis and gonorrhea
are, how dangerous they are to
themselves, both now and in the
future, and how dangerous they
will be for their future wives and
children.
We have perfected a system
now whereby practically every
man who comes into the armed
service receives little blue pam
phlet which tells him the facts
about venereal diseases. There
is no preaching. There is just
straight talk for the purpose of
informing young men who may
be ignorant of the dangers.
All the company commanders
have been provided with a
syllabus of a talk they are to give
the men on SYPHILIS and gonorrhea.
And one of the finest
things abOnt these talks is
that the officers appeal to
the sporting instincts OF the
young Americans.
The average lad either in col
lege or in high school or in his
Y. M. C. A. or other organiza-
lions has gone in for some form
of athletics. He knows that the
football team that is competing
for championship cup has to go
under training rules. The play
ers are not allowed to smoke, or
drink. or waste health and
strength in the red-light district.
If they do, they are bounced from
the team. They have violated the
code of honor. They have broken
training.
So now, our officers point out
to their men that they are in
training for the biggest cham
pionship game in the entire his
tory of the world. They are to
fight for home, for America, for
democracy, for liberty against the
kaiser and autocracy and brutal
militarism.
Uncle Sam needs each and every
one of them on his team in or
der to win--and he needs them
in good health. II they run with
loose women, il they are stricken
with syphilis or gonorrhea, they
have broken faith with Uncle
Sam. They have deserted him in
his hour Of need, almost as ef-
fectually as IL they actually cross
ed No Mans Land and deserted
to the enemy.
We are coupling, with this
work among the soldiers, educa-
tional work among civilians too.
We want to protect them as much
as we want to protect the SOL
diers.
