Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1918-09-12
A GOOD SOLDIER IS CAUTIOUS

A British soldier, while home on
leave told some Of his friends about
his work. He described how he was
stationed at secret, camouAaged ar
tillery observation post ON q high tree
on high hill, which had a command
ing view OF the surrounding country.
He told the names Of the Fleanish vii
lagos he could zee and the length Of
the German lines in plain view.
Two days after he returned to Flan-
ders and was back at this post, il was
subjected TO q violent bomhardment
by the enemy, % that Il was rendered
untenable, and constantly thereafter
the Germans kept the position under
FIRE.
The fact that the post was 90 often
shelEed attracted the attention of q
war correspondents, who wrote back TO
his paper that somehow the Germans
had discovered its existence. Some
one who had heard the soldier tell Of
his post informed army headquarters
In London. An investigation was or
dered and il was found that the sol
der had been killed by the first bonn
bardment.
The same story might be written of
some American soldier. We love TO

Playing Baseball Before Battle
Helps Make A Soldier Fight

"Our soldiers in France are the
finest sportsmen In the world. Their
sportsmanship is manifested in every
thing they do. What is more, the
sports our men are playing overseas,
such as baseball, football and soccer
and boxing and wrestling, are making
them better fighters"
This statement Is made by Ray
mond B. Fosdick. Chairman of the
War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities, who re-
turned recently from the American
front In France, where he made a two
months study OF the relief and recre-
ational work being carried ON among
our expeditionary forces.
Sports probably are the most pop
ular form Of diversion among our
troops overseas" said Mr.. Fosdick.

THE NAvY's SPLENDID COOPERATION

Men Of army units setting foot in
France for the FIRST time this week will
have learned to appreciate more fully
the cooperative relationship which
the Navy bears to them.
- From the time they left embarka-
ton points to the minute they disem-
barked in France, 1t was the Navy
which became their constant, unweary-
ing guardian. The transport which
bore them, the convoyers-destroyers
and cruisers-which protected them,
were all part of the Navy-America's
maritime answer to Kaiserism. While
infantrymen, artillerymen and avia-
tors brave death in French territory,
men of the Navy viii be facing peril
on the deep, to insure that they are
fed and clothed, and reinforced by a
never-ending stream Of more and more
troops. And the Navy does this gladly,
proudly, in the freezing watches of the
sea, in gales born Of cyclonic fury and

been so far away from Us that we
never have thought of the possible
need OF silence. The people of France
and now of England-know that the
war is not to be discussed like business
affairs or election campaigns. They
have learned in the main to keep their
mouths shut.
Perhaps the hardest military lesson
we soldiers can learn - to keep our
mouths SHUT. It's q great tempta-
tion to answer any question put to us
by q civilian when we know the an
swer. It takes real moral courage to
say, II don't know" when we Do
know. BUT WE MUST. Once we
start, once we say, II don't know, y
when we do know, we win find il cas-
Ter the next time, and we will prob
ably end by making 4 better impress
sion - to our worth by our exhibits
Of discretion than by our former indis-
cretions. BY other means the civilians
are being educated MOTTO talk 90
much, and they will spot the soldier
full OF talk as tyro.
Don't talk. Don't tell about your
work, the number Of men in your
camp, the progress in your training,
the Ikelihood of going Over There.
IL you do, you may never get there.
Facts that may seem unilnportant to
you may be just the missing link to .
long chain that our enemy spies have
been in vain trying to Link together.
Beware of the man who asks you
questions. Beware of the stranger who
'leads you on" You are in the pres
ence Of the enemy. He is everywhere,
