WHY NOT THE ARMY?

Recruiting is on in earnest.
Mai. Clemens of the l7th In
fantry is in Baltimore with a
worthy detail to encourage the
men of the city to join the col
ors. Meanwhile the officers of
Meade who are on duty will pur-
sue their campaign with re-
newed zeal.
Men would do we'll to ask
themselves the question, "Will /
be better off in civil life than in
the Army under existing condi-
tions in the labor market?"
America will probably not be
called upon to do very severe
military duty. within the next
three years, owing to the de-
pleted state of finances and
manpower in the countries that
have taken part in this war.
Duty in the Army will be hard
under certain circumstances, but
I it will not be half so hard as
struggling for a living in city
which has thousands of men in
idleness.
The time is past when the
Army can be treated with cold
disdain by the public, and the
government is determined to see
that soldiers are safeguarded in
every way. Facilities will be Of
fered for their entertainment
their health will be built up
rather than pulled down; educa-
ton will be fostered; travel
will be a part of the program;
pleasure will go along with
fatigue.
Get on the band-wagon!
Place Meade at the top of the
list. Is the Army such bad
place, after all?

MEN AND HEROES!

Placing his body between his

Merritt of Company {, 345th
Tank Battalion, won the distin-
guished service cross.
Other feats of bravery have
been recorded since the war
started, but seldom has one been
described which contains so
much of human fellowship, re-
spect,s love and devotion to coun-
try. Merritt saw at once, in the
moment of peril, that his cap
faln's life was more valuable Cat
least in his own estimation)
than his own, and he was ready
30 die in order that his COM
pany might retain the COM
aiander.
He stood ready to sacrifice
himself under circumstance
chat called for extraordinary
self-denial and courage. He
stood, as it were, between a
company with leader of proved
reliability and one without a
head or of doubtful value. His
rome he doubtless looked upon
IS place which could best be
protected by the kind of service
l'hich he was about to perform.
lis family, no doubt, he knew
to be backing him in any deed
of heroism which might be his
chance to enact.

Harry Silverman of Roxbury, Mass,
in the Saith Light Tank Battalion, gave
the following statement:

place between the tanks and the dough-
boys.

New Star on the Horizon.

The base hospital can always be
counted on to produce new athletic
celebrities. Not content with its
champion basket ball team and its
famous "acrobatic" Oscar Moyer, the
medical detachment now presents a
new star who threatens to eclipse all
rivals. He is none other than Private
Sweitzer. who has been entertaining
the boys with his daring stunts on
the ropes and trapeze.
1t turns out that Sweitzer was
formerly star performer in Robin
son Brothers famous circus. This
circus for years has played the small
er towns and cities. Sweitzer was
a member of a troupe that pulled
of spectacular stunts on the trapeze.
the rings and the revolving ladders.
Sweitzer says the circus business has
its ups as well as it's downs On
some occasions. when the spectators
failed to put in their appearance, the
treasury was soon empty, the ghost
failed to walk and SweitZer and COM
pany would tighten their belts across
their empty stomachs and hit the
ties to the next town. Because of the
uncertainty of the business. Sweitzer
says, he is through with the show
business. However, his many adj
mirers are glad to watch his antics.
In fact, considerable rivalry has
arisen between Sweitzer and Aero

for the gyTnastic crown is likely to
be pulled of soon.

Raymond Lunn. the ten-year-old son Of
Representative George r. Lunn of Sche-
nectady, N. Y. 1t was stated that the
child left Washington, and it is believed
that he came to this cantonment
For some time the boy has exhibited a
disposition to visit camps. it was stated
i'm the message. He was heard by some
OF his playmates to say that he intended
to come here. While on these visits to
camps he has been known to frequent
the knights of Columbus and Young
Mems Christian Association buildings.
AS soon as the word was received
those in charge Cf the war welfare build
1ngs were communicated with by the
provost guard and requested to keep q
sharp lookout for the boy. He was de-
scribed as appearing to be about twelve
years old. and at the time of his de-
parture from his fathers residence in
Washington wore black shoes and
dark blue bloomer suit Up to late
hour nothing had been heard Of him
here.

exercise preparatory to going around
