Rainbow Division Wins
Praise of Secretary as
He Explains War Secrecy

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March s0-Secretary of War
Baker continued his inspection in the
zone of advance today in a cold rain,
over heavy roads and under generally
uncomfortable conditions. The program
included visits to certain divisional
Headquarters that had not previously
been inspected and conferences with
various high officials.
In an informal address to the Rain
bow Division, ofhcially known as the
42d Division, the Secretary took occa-
sion to explain to the Army, as well as
for the military secrecy which deprives
the soldiers and the population at home
of news of each other during the pres
snt stage Of the preparations.
While 1t was in training at home I
saw good deal of the Rainbow Divi-
sion" said the Secretary.
Then, one day. it was gone to
France. where 1t disappeared behind

sacrihce the lives of our men for the
sake Of publicity. The enemy's elabo-
rate Intelligence system seeks at any
cost to learn the strength, the prepar-
edness and the character of our troops
Useful to Spies.
"If we were to announce the identity
Of each unit that comes to France.
then we would fully inform him of the
number and the nature of our forces.
Published details about any division
are most useful to expert military in
telligence officers in determining the
state of the divisions training and the
probable assignment of the division to
any section.
But now it is safe to mention certain
divisions which were first to arrive in
France and have already been in the line
This includes the Rainbow Division IA
| nous because it is representative of all
| parts of the United States, which. how
ever. as a military unit is to be indeed
only by its efficiency against the enemy
regardless of its origin At the SANE
time. this division should find in tie
character an inspiration to the esprit de
corps and general excellence 1t shouId
be conscious OF its mission as a symbol
of national unity.
