Anything goes to get the job
done. Once out of the front lines
there's just as much emphasis
on salutes as there is anywhere
else. Some of the men from the
South Pacific say that it's
stricter there than here. And il
is certainly true in Italy. Once
the battle tide rolled north, the
troops remaining in southern
Italy, and in cities not very far
behind the lines, discovered that
the M. P.'s were under the same
orders they are in, say, Annis-
ton, Ala. (And evidently they
are much stricter than in Chi
cago or Detroit, where saluting
seems pretty rare.)
The relationship between Off
GERS and men Is a curious thing
that has to be experienced to be
understood. Good officers will
do almost anything Including
risking their lives) for their

of them for forgetting to salute

relief arm of the American Federation

Disbursements under this fund, i'll

of 1914, which is at the rate of $780,

relief in Palestine, minimum of $751;
