Pure Bunk-Not Pure Food.
After explaining many other non.
existent virtues of the C. M. T. G. he
started to convince us at the point Of
the belly. "You get pure, wholesome
food at the camps he said. We knew
that, but why was there the threat Of
strike in Plattsburgh last year be-
cause of the poor grub fed the will-be
soldiers? Can you answer, Mr.. On
Ger? That's the answer. When he
spoke of the wonderful athletic events
in camp 1 thought of the recruits
rushing to participate in these events
after four hours Of drill, when the re-
cruits are tired.
In speaking of the constitution the
honorable" officer spoke about re-
ligious freedom. Didn't hear that
the c. M. T. c. one was forced to at
tend chapel? When he talked about
freedom of speech" I recalled the
few recruits who were kicked out Of
the camps last year because they had
the audacity to believe in this and
started distributing the Young Worker
among their buddies.
Is it any wonder, then, that this
morning, besides cleaning my finger
nails, became more determined than

Army Officer "Steams."
One fine morning we were greeted
with the grinning countenance of an

began to speak. First of all he was
from Camp Monmouth, n j., one of
the Citizens Military Training Camps
where boys from II to "a years of age
are given "a fine vacation free" The
first thing he started to do was to
quote the constitution: Congress has

NATIONAL LOYALTY
BY THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

r NEVER cared a great deal for Mar
i tin because in conversation he never
seemed to miss an opportunity to say
something not quite complimentary OF
his family. He was constantly com
menting upon their weaknesses and
deficiencies.
Now I suppose that no one, If he
should 60 back far enough or inves-
tigate with due diligence, would find
his entire ancestry quite to his liking.
asked Plumb once something about
his ancestry, and he replied that he
knew very little about them. He had
looked them up far enough to discov-
er that one of his remote relatives
had been hanged for stealing, and at
that point his interest had waned. We
should probably all be equally sue
cessful If we went deeply into the
matter Many of our relatives are not
all that we should like to have them.
But be that as it may, he is pretty
poor chap who. is not loyal to his
family, his college. or his country,
no matter what their faults are.
But loyalty does not necessitate
Boosting. We can be loyal to our fam
lily or to our country without constant
ly. extolling the accomplishments or
the virtues of either. Sometimes ST.
lence is the best praise. When one
hears a man necessarily stressing the
virtues of relatives We are likely to
wonder what villainies he is wanting
to conceal.
The American abroad too often. does
not take it for granted that his coun-
try has accomplished wonderful things
within the last three or four hundred
years. He is seldom ineonspicuous
and far too seldom modest. He never
lets anyone forget how tremendously
great and rich we are.
l listened to two Americans not
long ago talking to a young English
man In a Paris hotel. Neither Of
them had taken any active part in the
great war though the Englishman- had
and bore the marks of his service upon
his broken body.
They told him how prosperous we
are. how clever. how easily we make
money! They boosted of the short
ness of time 1t required for US to get
into the war as compared with Eng
