 Dr. Stephen S. Wise, the fight ing rabbi" of the Free Synagogue, New York City, says:
 The American soldier repre- sents life's highest aims and nob- lest purposes-to establish justice between nations, great and small, and to end the reign Of the sword. His cause is holy; therefore the Church of God Jewish aLI Chris tian alike, may bless him and must serve him. The Army and the Churches of America are under one banner--that of liberating ser vice.

 There is no place in the world can live together In amplificatior of this, it may be said that when tho Americans come the mosquitoes go
 The French civilian population il many localities noticed a striking absence of mosquitoes this sum mer They cant understand it un- til they found out it was the worl of the Americans.
 The AEF. sanitary corps ha! been busy at points where Ameri- cans are stationed and all stagnant water nearby has been treated witt the same oil composition which vir- tually exterminated the mosquito and overcame fever on the Isthmus of Panama.
 The next thing you know, yor may have to wash your mess kit three times instead of the usual twice-and the third time in boil ing water. Reason: There may be germs around and boiling water kills them.
 A certain unit has tried both the twice-over and the thriceover way In the former process, the medical officer in charge noted that while the soapy water in the first pail was, after use, nearly sterile, the clear water in the second pail showed 5000 to 5000 "colonies' per cubic centimeter. And colonies (except, of course, the Philippines) are mighty bad things from a med ical standpoint.
 Accordingly, the units mess au- thorities added the third pail to the kit-washing chain. It is placed over a fire and kept boiling all the time the men are using it. And so far it has worked so well that the unit, which is large and hefty one, hasn't had a single infectious complaint spread through it's ranks
 The example, according to the Chief Surgeon, is "well worth fol lowing"

 He had gathered most of the francs in the company in the first three days and then started on per sonal effects.

GREATEST NEWSPAPER GOTTEN OUT BY AMERICANS ON THE
 FIGHTING FRONT IN FRANCE

Most probably no other news paper ever gained a larger bona fide circulation in a shorter time than "The Stars and Stripes" pub lished by the American Expedition ary Forces in France. It had near ly 100000 subscribers in August and the demand was taxing the fla cilities of the publishers. It is gotten up in a regular newspaper style with excellent half-tone cuts and original cartoons, all furnish ed by members of the American forces. Besides the news, there is a department of Army Verse" and the poems ring true and show that war is probably bringing out much latent talent. After viewing the contents as whole the high standard that is maintained, and the humor that shines out from the columns here and there, one feels all the more proud that he is an American, and speculates upon the wide influence the combined in telligence and enterprise that Amer icanism will wield in old country affairs by reason of the newspaper and the war A few bits of hun or are clipped as follows:
 Geographically, the AE.F. may be described as a body of land en- tirely surrounded by a No Smok- ing" fringe. In the interior it is something of a smokers paradise. But it is emphatically defense de fumer" at both fronts, battle and water. You frequently can't smoke in the first line because Fritz is watching, and you cant smoke at the other end because you would set the docks on fire.
 Colored troops from Louisiana have a linguistic advantage over other American soldiers. Many of them, through living in sections where French still is spoken, are more or less familiar with the Ian guage of this land when they get here. But they have their diff ties nevertheless.

TAUGHT TO
JUDGE DISTANCES
Every British Soldier is Expected to
be Able to Tell How Far Away
an Object May
by Captain H. C. B. Pollard, of the
British Army.l


Written for the United Press.]
LONDON, Sept. 15.-(By MaiD--Ev-
cry British soldier is expected to be
able to judge distance approximately,
and an officer is expected to do it with
fair accuracy. 1t is an essential part
of his training. Without it he cannot
give his orders correctly.
Most people have their own mental
unit of comparison Such and such a
place is mile away, and they always
Think of distance in terms of con1par-
ison with that mental picture. But
though to the ordinary man, half a
mile or so is close enough reckoning,
the soldiers must be ahle to estimate
distance in units of so yards or less
and he can only teach himself to do
this by hard practice. It is by pra ctice
that he gets a store of mental units of
comparison which enable him to Judge
distances in the field.
One of the best ways of teaching
men distance judging is on route to
marches. AT a halt the men estimate
the distance of objects visible ahead
of them along the road When the
march is resumed these estimates are
checked by pacing the distances In
this way the men are taught to take
an interest in distance judging, and
competitive spirit is encouraged among
them.
In the same way the ranges Of all
prominent objects near camp are care
fully taken with a range finder. and
the mon are taught, by heart the var
ious distances. Natural objects such
as houses, average sized trees, or
roads where men or traffic move are
preferred to merely landscape features
for men retain a mental picture OF
such objects best.
In addition to this mental picture"
method of estimating ranges there
are certain rule-of-thumb methods
One of these is the observation of OBJ
jects through service rifle barrel
with the bolt removed and the eye
placed lmmedIaIely ABOVE ne DUR
plate. Thus a standing man complete
ly fills the diameter of the barrel at
300 yards distance. If he occupies one
half he is some $50 yards away, and
at eight hundred yards he occupies
third. This system is good for, ranges
up to 500 yards, but it requires a good
light too see a dismounted man
through the barrel at this range.
For close range the following table
Is an accurate guide to man of nor
NAL vision: Mouth and eyes of a man
through the barrel at this range.
For close range the following table
Is an accurate guide to man of nor
NAL vision: Mouth and eyes of a man
can be seen at fifty yards.
Eyes appear at points at 100 yards.
