But you who remain, particularly
the unwell, can still be Of good cheer.
AS rehabilitation proceeds, health
conditions in camps will be improved.
A reduced number Of men in a camp
sirnplifies the sanitation and health
problem. Successful treatment Of all
cases is more easily obtained, with
fewer men. There is less danger.
Soldiers left in camp will have a
better chance to get well, or to retain

KEEP WELL

Uncle Sam proposes to give back
his Yanks to their families in as good
a state of health as they evidenced
when they entered the training camps,
He made a solemn promise TO the
homefolks at the time, and he meant
it,
He relies on your help to do so.
Take care of yourself, Observe the
general rules OF sanitation laid down
for your guidance, and report prompt
ly any infraction of them. When you
go away from rehabilitation camps
to home, you will want to be the
strong, sturdy, well set-up specimen
of army life which popular thought
holds as representative model
Men are now being mustered out
rapidly at the camps in America. The
sick and death rate will rise in camps
from now on, owing to logical con

alarmed about in that. Only men who

There is no room in the thoughts
of the soldier who has faced death and
felt the great calm which came from
the realization that Right was on his
side. Where was there space for the
small and the low, the pretty and
mean, the underhand and deceitful in
the heart Of man who had made his
choice between the external opposites
Of Right and Wrong, and stood on the
side OF Right? There is no place in
such hearts for anything but the
highest and best. War, for all it's
pain and misfortune, has taught men

Only they remain. No battle could

friendly and not hostile TO the Rus, =
sian people. Although in opposition
TO German Bolstcvik forces, Chair
nan Hitchcock Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee said in an ad-
dress to-day. replying 10 the recent
demand of Senator Johnson OF Cali

American policy in Russia
"Therc is no Russia" he declared.
What was Russia is a vast disor-
Eanized aggregation OF local govern
ments"

the following details in specific reply
to senator Johnson's recent request
for information:

that neighborhood Those landing at
Archangel and across the White Sea
at Murmansk, while still holding
those ports in connection with the
British and French troops, have pene-
trated n short distance inland. in each
case probably about 100 miles, as a
measure OF protection for their bases
"ln all cases the occupation OF these
Russian ports was made as u war
measure urged by the Supreme War
Council in Paris at time when our
war with Germany was at its height"
Senator Borah of Idaho, Republican,
interrupted to say the only jutitica-
ton for American activities was that
they were proceeding in the general
policy Of opposing Germany in the
