| able to keep up to the scratch on mat
| tiers outside army life. And he agrees
that it is up to him to learn all he can
| and tell it to his American friends
| when he returns to the United States.
Obvious as it may seem this idea
| of getting information, of becoming
| acquainted with problems of the day,
| is welcomed by men cOoPed up in
| army camps thinking only of that day
when they will get back to America.
Sometimes it happens that n sol
| der gets his first definite idea of the
| responsibilities he is to assume as
| citizen, directly from these lectures.
| He commences to realize that he is
scheduled to become an important fig
ure in American political affairs. He
appreciates more fully that he is a
| man Of broader vision than when he
| left America.
| He had been too busy training and
travelling to think great deal about
his remote future, during the period OF
war. Now he is getting his bearings
again. And the welfare men are en-
c0uraging him to develop his ideas, to
round them out by observation and
reading and by study. And means are
being provided for study. Here In
France the welfare boards are building
up big educational machines.
More than 100000 men, during the
first weeks of the peace conference
! in Paris, were enrolled in the hundreds
Of educational classes in the army
camps of France. This work was 60
ing on all over the country. A list
| of the schools would be a report on
the disposition of the American troops
in France, because there was some
| kind of school in virtually every camp.
Officers Are Instructors.
Army officers-men trained In the va
rious sciences and Professionalism
as instructors. 1t was beyond the
ability of the Y. NJ. c. A. or any other
welfare organization to provide the
necessary teachers from their own
comparatively small PERSONALS.
| So while the American boys waited
patiently for the ships that would
take them back home, they studied by
the hundred thousand, and began their
preparation for return to civilian life
where, If the ideals Of Comrades In
Service are realized, they Will still
maintain much of the fellowship OF
service that helped to defeat Germany.
There are many men In France who
believe Americas great and lasting
benefit from the war will be better
realization Of the duty each American
owes to his government and his COM
munity, of better understanding or
the ideals of America, and of wiping
out Of much class prejudice and sec
tionalism. And Comrades In Service,
| in addition to being great after-the-
war organization such as the G. A. X.
and U. G. v, will perpetuate these
results Of var, which bring out the
finest traits Of character.
Headquarters for Comrades in Serv-
ice was organized in France, but as
soon as a goodly proportion OF the
American army is sent home, head
quarters is to be moved to some large
American city, probably Washington.
