PARIS, April 15-what's the A. Z.

a war to keep it busy?
A few months ago two million men
were licking the Germans. collectively
and individually according to that

They were fighting men. Now
they're tourists, students, athletes.
That's the answer. That's what
they're doing now.

tween watches the soldiers of occu-

Vacations I'm Hunland.
Some of them are getting vacations
right in the enemy's territory. Thous-
are scattered all over France.
More than 100000 men had seven
day vacations up to the beginning of
March. Two hundred thousand more
will have a their turns by the end
of April.
The American Expeditionary Force
is running the biggest tourists agency

It's part or the army scheme OF
keeping the men in good health and
spirits while they wait their turn to
start home.
It's part of their education, too,
Uncle Sam is giving educational
doses by means Of travel and also by
the classroom method. The soldiers
keep in trim from a military stand
point by drills and training-not so
much as when the war was on, but
enough to keep their hand in. So
just ''supposin', 1t was necessary
they could jump right in and lick the
Germans all over again.
The drilling is one of the main
stays OF the health campaign. An
other, and a bigger one, Is the athletic
program.
In between military duties, studies
and touring the doughboy Is getting
greater opportunity than he ever had
to take part in athletics.
