American Lieutenant on Outpost

Has Quarters In Great Castle at
Coblenz, and Under Anti-Frater
nizing Order He Cannot Visit
With Other Inhabitants.
Coblenz. —In a great castle on a hill
! and with a count and countess and
their four daughters as his nearest
! neighbors dwells today the lonesomest
American in all the occupied territory
'of Germany. He is Lieut. John W.
Scott of Detroit, commanding Com
pany K, Twenty-eighth infantry, on
outpost duty at the “stepping off”
place of the Coblenz bridgehead where
It skirts a beautiful valley stretching
away toward Berlin.
Just across the hallway from the
quarters of the lieutenant on the sec
ond floor of the castle, Count and
Countess von Walderdorf have been
allowed to remain by courtesy of army
officers. But the Germans keep to
themselves, looking upon the Ameri
cans as invaders, and an army anti
fraternization order prohibits Lieuten
ant Scott from visiting them.
Spends Evenings Alone,,
I On the first floor of the castle 50
American soldiers have their beds and
mess and a large living room where
| they play cards and enjoy each other’s
company during the long winter eve
nings and tell of their war experiences,
and of all the wonderful things they in
tend to do when they get home again.
Lieutenant Scott spends his evenings,
alone, devouring book after book.
Visitors are few at this furthermost
outpost across the Rhine twenty miles
from Coblenz. During the day the lieu
tenant makes his rounds, visiting one
sentinel after another, always alone.
At the foot of the hill crowned by the
castle of Molsberg is the village of
Molsberg, of which Lieutenant Scott is
military commander, but he talks to
the townspeople only on questions of
business. And so, day after day, the
lieutenant meets no one excepting his
soldiers and the • civilians on routine
matters of duty.
The meals of this loneliest of Amer
icans are served in his quarters, where
he dines, alone, with giddy green war
rior tapestry figures gazing down upon
him from their places on the walls,
just where they were hung something
like 300 years ago. The figures of one
panel picture a gay and jolly party and
all the others suggest companionship
in some form.
Phone for Business Only.
The officer has a telephone which
reaches to Montabaur, the Ist (UyisiQn
headquarters, but its use is restricted
to business only. There are other con
veniences, too, including electric lights
<lnd running water, and a wonderful
. stove reaching halfway to the ceiling,
| and at the bottom the old German
, maker’s name and the date, 1764. But
' to the lonely lieutenant even the fire
in the stove sometimes seems almost
| cold.
Lieutenant Scott’s nearest American
officer neighbor is five or six miles
away out across the 8,000 acres owned
by the; count. After dark visits are out
of *ne question. And so, when over
come by lonesomeness and weariness
from reading, the lieutenant tumbles
into a seventeenth century bed which
stands in the same position it has been
all. these years. And within easy reach
is the telephone, by which he knows
eventually will come the welcome news
for which so long he has been longing
—“We’ve been ordered home.’’
Patent Medicines
One of the strange facts that we are
at a loss to account for is the thous
ands upon thousands of dollars that
are spent by our people for what is
ordinarily called “patent medicine.”
The miracle producing remedies that
are constantly kept before the public
in every way possible to attract the
attention of a sick and suffering pub
lic. How long such methods can and
will thrive among a people who are
supposed to be intelligent and
ordinarily possessed of good com
mon sense and judgment we are un
able to say.
If you are sick you need a physician,
and not an advertised remedy. If you
need attention for any ill, even the
slightest, you need intelligent advice,
individual advice. If you are not sick
you need to save your money against
the day when you are, and will need
attention. We believe in preventative
medicine, and with the right kind of
sanitation, regular hours, proper diet
and exercise, you will not have that j
feeling that causes you to rush to a
drug store and buy some body’s “cure
all.”
We could mention many different
kinds of these nostrums but as a class
those recommended for the cure of the
Venereal Diseases are perhaps the
most dangerous. They never cure.
They perhaps lull you to believe that
you are cured and at a later day you
will awake to the realization of the
fact that you were not, and that it is
then too late, that you will likely never
be well.
The Georgia State Board of Health
advises our people to discontinue the
use of all so-called patent medicines
of every kind. Consult your physician,
One-Third Gf Men Not Fit
The great world war has brought
home to us many lessons, and opened
cur eyes to many problems never seri
ously considered but under the light of
the present day that loom large in
our future work —none perhaps mora
forcefully than public health.
The draft boards of our state found
one-third of our young men unfit foi

condition. We must as citizens awake
to the full realization of this and bend
our every energy to have our coming

Venereal Disease has done its work
among our people. The reports show
that 2,403 cases of syphilis and gonor
rhoea have been reported in the past
two months. Only 2,904 of all other
communicable diseases were reported
in the sanm time, excluding only influ
enza, of which we had over six thou
sand. This is one phase of reform
that we must get busy with. Will you
not give this serious consideration,
and help us in the warfare against Ve
nereal Diseases?
