cry possible opportunity for educa-
ton, amusement and social life"
The Commission has not developed
any more machinery than was abso-
lutely necessary. SO far as possible
we wished to work with the existing
agencies. The Commission leans
heavily on the Y. NJ. G. A, the
Knights of Columbus and the Jewish
Board of Welfare. For the general
club facilities inside the camps the
splendid achievements OF these or
CARNATIONS are so well known that
they need no explanation here. The
American Library Association was
asked to assume responsibility when
it came to creating library facilities
inside the camps. It has raised a
fund of over million dollars, and
in every National Army cantonment
and National Guard camp there is
now, either finished or in process of
construction, q library building-in
charge OF trained librarian who
makes it his sole business to see that
the men have ready and easy access to
any type OF book which they desire.
The needs of a million men in
camp, however, cannot be met by
club facilities and books alone The
War Department felt that it was abso-
luteiy necessary that opportunities
for athletics, mass singing, dramatic
amusement and education be fur
nished, not to five per cent or twenty
per cent, but to one hundred per cent
of the men within each camp. Ac-
cordingly, the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities has established
for the Government a comprehensive
| organization which will furnish such
opportunities in each of the training
camps. Sports directors, song lead
era and theatrical managers on the
payroll of the Government are super
intending this great work at most of
the important army~training camps.
For instance, to furnish dramatic
entertainment to every man in the
sixteen National Army camps the
! Commission has erected theatre
seating 5000 people. These theatres
were built under a standardized plan
and are completely equipped with full
sets of stage parephernalia, lights
drops and moving picture machine
BY building theatres on standard
model we obviated the necessity Of
| transporting scenery from camp t.
camp and made possible the pToduc
ton OF high-grade performances a
very low cost, for the expenses are
reduced to a minimum.

Mr.. Marc Klaw was given the task
OF organizing four companies to play
light comedies and four companies OF
vaudeville stars. ''Turn to the Right, ;"
Cheating Cheaters," Here Comes
the Bride" Inside the Line" and
other popular plays will be presented
in turn at the various cantonments
The professional vaudeville COM
panies will also make the rounds and
the theatres will be offered to the
men for the production Of amateur
dramatics or special moving pictures
There will be a small charge OF from
Is to 25 cents made for the profess
sional entertainments. In addition to
these theatres, and at both the Ma
tional Army and National Guard
camps the Redpath Lyeeum furnishes
entertainment. The general direction
of all paid entertainments at the
camps is in the hands of Mr.. Harry P.
Harrison, the president and general
manager Of the Redpath Lyceum Blu
reau.
One of the most interesting activ-
tiles of the training, camps is a brand
new one-mass singing. That is, a
systematic and organized develop
ment Of it is new. Victorious armies
have been singing armies for many
years, but the United States is prob
ably the first country to go into mass
singing on such big scale. Under
the direction OF o song leader, singing
in nearly every training camp has be-
come an enthusiasm. To meet the
demand for songs, the Government
for the first time has printed song
book This was published by the
| Commission.
To make sure that the man who
wanted to study French or English or
| nometry-indeed any such sub
| ject-would have an opportunity to
do so, a special committee on educa-
ton attached to the Commission has
been charged with the responsibility
| for supplying instruction in any
course for which a demand is seen
| The great number of men throughout
! the camps who have seized upon these
educational opportunities is inspiring
! Naturally in many Of the camps OF
forty thousand men there are mum

Athletics in connection with the
training OF a modern army is, Of
course, extremely important, The re-
sponsibility for the organization and
conduct of these recreative athletics
in each camp is in the hands of a
skilled organizer and coach who is
officially recognized as civilian on
the staff of the Commanding Officer
His salary is paid from Government
funds. Thirty such sports-directors
have been appointed By the Commits
sion and assigned to posts. The SUI
pcrvision of this work in each camp
involves the creation of Division
Athletic Council, supplemented by
regimental councils, and by such or
CARNATIONS among the companies as
may be necessary. The sports-direc-
tors in the National Army camps will
be assisted by boxing instructors, fit
teen of whom have already been ap-
pointed. They will also cooperate
with the representatives. Of the Y. NJ.
c. A. and the knights of Columbus
assigned to athletic work in the
camps.
The whole object Of this compre-
hensiVe athletic program is to give to
the largest possible number of sol
diers the opportunity to play hard as
we'll as work hard-and to play at
organized athletics if they want One
of the most popular sports has proved
to be boxing.
So much for inside the camps.
What about the very important prob
lens Of recreation and amusement for
soldiers on leave in the towns nearby?
To make these communities adjacent
to the training camps the best pos
sible places for soldiers in their free
time-to organize the social and re-
irrational facilities Of the towns to
meet every need of the men on leave,
| the Playground and Recreation Asso-
citation Of America has sent, at the
request of the Commission, nearly
one hundred train workers to such
towns. Their object IS to impress
| the various city organizations with
their responsibility for showing sin
cere hospitality to men in uniform
They are emphasizing the fact that
the soldier in uniform is exactly the
same men who walked on the streets
4 in civilian clothes few months since,
and the putting on the uniform has
not changed the man but has in
/ creased the responsibility of the com
rnunity toward treating him fairly,
i and, more than that. cordially.

Athletics Prove
Big Help TO Men
I'm Training Camps

The wisdom of appointing athletic
directors in all the training camps
and cantonments TO coordinate ath-
letics with the military drills has
been thoroughly established by the
results achieved.
The soldiers have been immeasur-
ably assisted In their military work
by their participation In games in
which the same movements were
used as in drills. AS a result they
have made astonishingly rapid prog
Tess.
Much of the credit for the SPLEEN
did condition OF preparedness in
which the men in the camps and can
tonments are found today belongs to
the professional coaches and regimen
tai and z. M. G. A. athletic directors.
OF particular assistance to the men
have been the athletic games In which
the participants wore uniforms or
heavy marching order equipment. The
athletic programs were so arranged
as to put the participants through
the same movements as they would
be called upon to execute under &C
tual war conditions.
In number OF the camps the ath
letic games have approached trench
conditions, the men taking part in
contests of bomb throwing for dis
lance, bomb throwing for accuracy
and bomb throwing for speed and ac-
curacy. These contests have been
witnessed by French and British in
structors, who marveled at the ability
of the American soldiers in mastering
the art of bomb throwing in such
fashion as to compare them most
.favorably with the men now in the
trenches.

ant reserves the right to punish lazy
women with twenty lashes daily
A careful computation by writer
in The Atlantic Monthly, November,
1917, gives the number Of Belgians,
French, Poles. Serbs, Eumanians
and Russians, reduced to u very
practical slavery, as 42,UG0,000. Hun
dreds Of thousands OF Italians have
since been added to these slaves OF
the unspeakable German.
Meanwhile there are thousands OF
fatuous Americans who profess to
think we should make an immediate
peace. Do they long for the black

THE BLACKSNAKE WHIP
BY Gideon Hoe Of The
Vipilantes.

In slavery days the most brutal
overSeers were accustomed to drive
lazy slaves in work under the lash.
The blacksnake whip came to have
an evil reputation. 1t was the SYM
boil of the cruel side Of slavery, long
since done away with in this coun-
try, thank God.
Among the Germans the black
snake whip is still in use, and is
more UNANIMOUSLY employed than
ever. Margaret SnodglasS corre-
spending secretary OF the American
Federation OF Teachers, has this to
report:
81 have before me, as | write, the
official text Of proclamation OF the
German and Austrian military COM
mand in the recently occupied dis
tricts OF northern Italy. These
proclamationS require the inhabi-
tantS OF the region to give up all
.ood supplies of every kind. All per-
sons over IS years Of age are sum
moued to work in the fields under
German task masters from 4 o'clock
in the morning until s O clock in the
evening.
"Di,obediencc will be punished in
the following manner: Lazy work
men will be accompanied in the
work and watched by Germans.
