Moral Welfare Of
Men Is Protected

1--WE have got those young men in
camp, and they are surrounded from
the day they left home until the day
they come back to it-if in Gods
providence they can come back-with
more agencies for their protection and
comfort and health and happiness,
physical. spiritual and mental, than any
army that ever went out on field.
"They arc classified by system un-
mechanical instincts and training will
be given mechanical opportunities in
the army. The round man is not
sought TO be put into the Square
place.
Tho American people have supplied
literally for the purpose. The Young
Mems Christian Association. the
Knights Of Columbus. the Young
Womcn's Christian Association, the
Training Camp Activities Committee,
the Training Camp Athletic Commit
tee. have all been brought in. and the
Red Cross has been brought in, to live
with the soldiers, and by virtue of
activities started in the War Depart
ment the communities which surround
these camps have been instantly gotten
away from the notion winch used to
be prevalent Of a certain alienation
between civilian and soldier group,
and these soldier boys in these camps
have been adopted into the homes and
hearts of the people among whom they
live. No such relation has ever eX-
stcd between an army and civilian
population as exists with regard to
this.
"And then. with your aid. the army
has been able to practically stamp out
intemperance and vice among the sol
diers by the establishment Of zones,
by the establishment Of patrol systems
of one kind and another, by tho train
ing of these young officers in these
training camps, young men of eXpe-
ricncc aud fine feeling and all that.
We have gotten into this great army
the idea that it can be strong and
effective military army and still be
free from things which have hi therto
weakened and sapped the vitality and
Nirility OF armies.
II have gone from camp to camp
among these environments. and my first
question almost invariably is to the
camp commander. What about your
disciplinary problem:'

RETREAT OF CZECHO-SLOVAKS

HE LAST speech by Lloyd George announces the purpose
 of the Allies with respect to the Czecho-Slovak army, which with such remarkable achievement is moving toward Vadsvostok controlling hundreds of miles of the Siberian railroad in Asatc Russia.
 The Czecho-Sovak armies largely composed of sub ects Hungary who managed to desert to the Rus cause who left in desperate situation when the Russian Revoluonaries made peace with Germany
 The Czecho had the status of men who fight ing against their government They had rights as prisoners falling into the hands of the Austrian thories would have been executed otherwise severely punished.
 Under these circumstances the Czecho Sovak decided to make fight life and liberty and to contnue possible to fight for their cause with the armies in France.
 In all of history there is movement of troops of like nature which appeals with such dramatic force to the mlnd excepting perhaps the retreat of the Ten Thousand.
 These army of Greeks, serving in Persia Their officers reacherouy massaced by the Persans bu led by the philosopher Xenohon they marched more than thou sand miles, through strange and hostile country to safety among their countrymen
 wonderful is the retreat of the CzechoSlovaks who body, operating among greater people, a time when the materials of communication of movement and of offense much formidable.

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

The first great scientific institute in America, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, was founded 72 years ago today. James Lewis Macie Smithson, who bequeathed the funds for the founding of the institution, was a natural son of the third Duke of Northumberland, He was a dis tinguished scientist and on his death in 1929 left his fortune of about $590,- 900 to his nephew, with the proviso that if his heir died without issue the money was to go to the United States government and to be used In estab- fishing an institution for the increase and diffusion of knowledge. His nephew died in 1885, without heirs, and the property accordingly came into the possession of the government The institution was formally organ- Eed on Aug. s, 1846, and placed un= der the control of g board of trustees, consisting of the president and vice president of the United States, the cabinet members, the chief justice of the supreme court, and ether officials. The Smithsonian Institution has play ed an important part ia tiis scientific researches of the last half century and it's publications have added vastly tq human knowledge. Fine remains of James snithsen, buried at aenoa, were brought to America in 'sa4 and reinterred on the grounds of the institution which bears his name,

MAJ. GEN. BLISS.

Major-Gen. Tasker Howard Bliss, Americas representative on the Al lied War Council at Versailles, will soon celebrate his 65th birthday, as he was born in Lewisburg, Pa., in 1853. Under ordinary circumstances Gen. Bliss would have been retired from the army almost two years ago, but in an emergency such as the present the country needs all the brains it can get, and in having Gen. Bliss on the Allied Council, Uncle Sam knows that he has a worthy and able representative. Gen. Bliss is the son of Rev. Dr. George Ripley Bliss. After graduating from Bucknell Uni versity, he entered the West Point Military Academy, and in 1875 be- came second lieutenant of the First Artillery. Five years later he be- came first lieutenant, and he remain ed with the First Artillery until 1892, when he was appointed captain com missary of subsistence" He became a abrigadier-general over 15 years ago. He has held many important posts in the service of his country, including the command of the Department of the East. He was Chief of the Cuban Customs Service, commandant of the Army War College, commander of the Departments of Luzon and Min danao and later of the division of the Philippines. He has also been mem- Der of the Joint Army and Navy Board. Shortly before going to France to represent the United States Gen. Bliss was a member of the American Mission to Russia, which was headed by Elihu Root.
