standards are high. believe that for
every man In the army that Is morul-
ly destroyed, at least five men are
morally born again. We have spent
much time in discussing the vast task
Of keeping our men fit to return to
us when the war is over, and 1t Is
time well spent. But there Is another
matter quite as important-America
must be made and kept fit for these
men to return to.
"The American soldier has no rum

the argument was terminated.
LESS than three hours after a re-
cent raid hot coffee was served to the
men, even to the last observation post.
