No Prejudice
Is Oueriooked

One of the first things the army re-
allies it must overcome through the
advertising campaign is a deep-rooted
prejudice against army life in times of
peace There is feeling that the
army is a haven for those who cannot
make good except under the restraint
of military discipline, or who arc so
shftless they must have everything
"found" for them. In addition, It is
recognized that some parents feel that
the Influence of the army is demoraliz-
ing.
There is no prejudice against the
army that has not been taken into con-
sideration; there is no prejudice that
the advertising campaign soon TO be
launched does not strike at directly.
One slogan reads, "Why, guarding
the fla" is the worlds finest business
Then the advertisement specifies that
there is good pay, enjoyable, inspiring
work. with vocational training and rec
reatonal opportunities. The adver-
tisomcat further tells of the trades and
occupations that are taught in the
army and that arc necessary IN army
operations, Finally it aims to show
how tho man graduated from the army
is ready for IA we'll paid occupation IN
civil life. This particular advertise
mcnt lays but little stress on the hu-
man side of the army. 1t dwclls prin-
cipally upon the need Of the country
for the services of capable men and on
what the country will do in return.
But the other advertisements strike
different note entirely. They tell
we'll, just listen to this:

One American regiment, with more
than 5000 men, passed through the
port OF Brest with only one case of an

record for physical we'll being, the kind
of physical well-beng that is depen-
dent on moral well-being, has never
equalled that Of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces. The testimony of the
men that have served is that they were
safeguarded.

When the armistice was signed and

fer whom there was little possibility
f overseas service the great problem
was to return them speedily to civilian
life. So the United States expert
mented in advertising. There was no
appropriation for the purpose. The
government was compelled to rely upon
the generosity Of newspaper and mag
azine publishers and to stimulate their
generosity BY appeals to their patriot
ism.
Brigader General T. L. Munson,
Chief of the Morale Branch, General
staff, called conference of the adver-
tlsing men who held commissions in
his Office.

piooyers how desirable these men are"
The advertising men put their heads
together and offered this:
IAN HONORABLE DISCHARGE-THE

General Munson adopted it; the
newspapers printed it and editorialized
upon 1t. They preached 70 prospective
employers that the honorably dig
charged men were men who had been

Tanks Saved Many Lives.

I'VE always started into battle with
eos rounds of ammunition. and usu-
ally got rid Of the most of it before
the infantry could catch up with US. ,
And YOU can just bet one thing,
and that is that the development
of tanks saved many thousands of
lives. because without them no of
fensive could have proce eded so rap
idly as did ours; not in the face or
the machine gun defense the Germans
put up. For three days in the Ar
gonne forest Americans fought almost
wholly without artillery and tank
support. and could just make about
a hundred yards Il day.
Il have read a lot in the papers
about the German officers having
manacled their men to machine guns
and to artillery. The Germans un-
doubtedly were manacled TO the guns.
hut the officers never did it; the men
did it themselves in order to excite
sympathy and TO allow them to fight
til the last minute and then get
by without getting shot They would
wait until about three or four min
utes before capture was inevitable,
| fighting like demons all the time,
| then lock themselves to the guns and
! throw away the keys. Also. / saw
! German snipers hide in trees from
| which they would shoot away at our
men all day. then when they were To-
/ Gated would pull a Red Cross arm
