1t was months before Washington
could regain semblance of placidity.
Until long after the war it was over
crowded.
We heard much about wild doings
and reckless gayeties those days. That
phase was to be expected. I think the
revelers were small, noisy minority,
however, and among them was a large
element OF youngsters who labored
through long, hard hours and then
drifted into dissipation as q relief. This
class OF war workers danced furiously
and drank plenty, despite prohibition
laws that were unenforced for them in
Washington and nearby Baltimore.
Undoubtedly there were scandals and
imagined scandals, to which only feet
ing attention was paid. Does personal
conduct make any difference when war
Is going on? So far as I know that
question has elected Q negative answer
from youth whenever men made war.
