UNCLE SAM REQUIRES
MILITARY MORALS

One of the uses of the proceeds of
the Liberty Loan that will appeal
strongly to the great mass of Ameri-
can people is the care and attention
given to the moral welfare and pro-
lection of the American soldiers.
Heretofore with the American army
and even now with some of the armies
of our allies the moral welfare of the
soldier was and is a matter largely
ignored. In the German armies pro-
vision is even made for immortality.
1t is to the glory of American arms
and American national character that
of the men who wear the United
States uniform high standard of con-
duct is expected and demanded, and
provided for Kiplings Single men
in barracks are not to find their pro-
totypes in the American army
Gen. Pershing says there is no
cleaner-living body OF men in the
world than the American Army in
France.
