A- of the Untied ilia tee. with the co-operation of the above named publishers and pap era A STATEMENT ABOUT TRENCH AND CAMP The camp newspaper is a typically American institution. The American mind has lent itself completely to the newspaper habit. The average man reads not one, but two or three daily newspapers in civil life. Long before the great camps and cantonments were erected it was fore seen that the newspaper reading habit would be carried into the training places. It was a civilian habit that army life could not shake off—more than that, it was a civilian habit which it was to the beat interests of the army to pre serve. Therefore, just about a year ago, the idea of a chain of camp newt paper* was prxjvir fed. Mr. Tolu Stewart Bryan jntj Lshei of thr itcv mond News Leader, conceived the plan. It occurred to hit Chat if he,; 98 a newspaper owner, were wining to turn his plant to the use of the sui diers for the production of their own newspaper, other publishers in cities adjacent to the camps and canton ments would be witling to do the same thing. Mr. Bryan made a tour of the country and stated his theory to the publisher*. By common consent they entered heartily into the spirit of the project. The contribution they have made since to the happiness and morale of the army cannot be esti mated. The Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation, through its National War Work Council, announced to Mr. Bryan that it would under-write the prcposilioei, paying for white paper and other incidental costs, a financial outlay by no mean to be ignored. When the comps were ready to be opened, the Trench and Camp chain of newspapers was ready to be launch ed. The success of this chain cannot be CKHwtioned. Half a million soldiers are appealed to every week through Us. columns and they in turn send the paper home. Thus Trench and Camp furnishes the men with a newspaper describing the activities of the differ ent units within the camp and also keeps the people at home posted on what is bapperoag. More people have heard more about the intimate details of army life through the columns of Trench and Camp than through any other medium. There are some difficult situations in which soldiers find themselves. By word of instruction, explanation and admonition, Trench and Camp has sought to nuke these situations less difficult. These is ample testimony to the success of this effort. In the work of the reclamation ser vice of the Quartermaster's Depart ment Trench and Camp has ;-fayed a definite part. It ha:, aimed to show the men m the camps the necessity for conservation, the necessitv for pre venting waste. In the general offices of the newspaper chain there are let. ters expressing the gratitude of the War Department for Trench and Camp's efforts in injr t '-ting the spirit of the reclamation c he to tile men. In the Liberty Loan Drives Trench and Camp played a large part. It addressed; the homes through the men. It carried the message as no other medium could have carried it that the Liberty Loan meant eveiything to the men under arms. So with the Red Cross Drives, the Young Men’s Christiau Association, Our Weekly Fable In Slang I By BARTON RICHARDS Appearances are very often deceits fu) Several install \t • me out in this statement. Km- instance the well known American institution, the army mule. Approaching him from a south easterly direction, some pleasant after noon you find him standing in the midst of a pasture field with a benign look in his eye. To all appearances he is at peace with the world. As he stands there with his tele scope ears playing tag with a young army of blue bottle flies, his great mulish heart seems to be swelling with brotherly love for the whole world, including an army mule skinner, and if you look him square in the eye, you can see malice for none and charity for all, sticking out like a gold bar on a new second lieutenant. Taking his appearance at face- value' you feel a greut bond of fellowship arise underneath the third button on your vest, and you walk up to Mr Mule determined to pet him on the neck and call him some confectionery names. After the M D. sets your arm and gives you *» crutch for your sprained uufele. .i; g*.* you a coat to lake the place of t. one you had when you star- tv. kc friend* with the mule, you i«*lu*e very poignantly that ap pearances are deceitful. Its a whole lot the same way with people. A mule is merely a conscien tious objector compared to some of his relations that walk on two feet, an das for deceit, c.ompared to some folks, a mule’s countenance is s open as a Wuterbury watch. Then again the rule works in re ver. English. Looking at sonu of these bull dogs with an ingrowing face and, undershot jaws gives you the idea that they could wallop their | weight in wildcats. They have teeth that look 4\k& the ehi bone of a Shet land pony, and their general appear ance reminds you of a lower East Side gunman with a skinful of coke. Yet tome morning you walk down th« ’ the Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army, etc These papers have sought to define . the place of every welfare institution within the camps. The work of the I War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, which is the I co-ordinating »nd supervising body for all activities projected into the : camps, has been explained and cur ; rently reported. Some time ago the War Department i Commiaaion on Training Camp Ac , tivities prepared a new set of boxing > rules for all the camp and canton ments. Every boxing match that was held in the camps after the decision , was made to publish these rule* was ■ to V held v use* *h* tanctious ■ otuoitiona of List code. Realizing the popuL»,ty us boxing among soi :> dirts, T.t, .ch and Cas.p arranged for , tii invar diet i publication of these ; rota til over the Unites dtatat- Thi was done, of course, with the c-> i operation end approval of the War i Department Commission. These are but a few of the activities i of tbe chain of newspapers- Our files would show bow important a part : these papers have played and how ’ much appreciated has been tbe service rendered. AU this is history. Now as to the future: More than ever Trench and Camp wants to be s soldiers’ newspaper. It has learned lessons from the past. It wiU profit by mistakes. How to achieve its primary aim is better ur • deratood than ever. The primary aim is to produce a camp newspaper that shall reflect the life and spirit of the camp and shall at the same time in culcate the spirit of the whole army into the civilian-being-transformed into a soldier. The most important factor in the ■ success of the camp newspaper is the t co-operation of the- soldiers them" selves. In our great camps and can ! ' tonnieats these are enough newspaper men in every divisional camp to rtv," a complete daily newspaper. To them Hie “smell of printer’s ink” ought to be a sufficient We to bring them into ; contact with the Trench and Cam j management, especially when an op portunity is afforded to render a re?' • service. It has been suggested at differs i times that prizes be offered by the n: ' tional organization of Trench ar l Camp for the best editions produ-t ; in any given week. For a time th:.' •; plan was coasieierod seriously; btu i - v»s decided that it was unfair, for the reason that facilities for producins camp newspapers differ according t ■ localities. In one city where Trench i and Camp is produced the local editor, -a printer holding a union card, had t: - set type occasionally. In other ride there are batteries of Haotype roc : chines and the most up-to-date ecu,;- roent. Incidentally it may be remarked tha * 1 the suggestion for a prize award orig t inated in the fertile mind pf one of j . the most enterprising and successful j i of our camp editors. But all this is beside the point. The . important thing is that every unit in ■ a camp should name a Trench and : Camp representative. Then his hands : should be upheld. He should be as sisted in getting the n*ws. Let us talk even more intimately of , the shop. Every camp presents to m-un stem and see some little sawed off rat terrier sidle up to the bull and ill the proverbial three shako* of a iamb's tail, grab Mister Bull Dog where he swallows his lunch and in about as short a time as Jack Demp sey put the k. o. on Fred Fulton, shake the gizzard completed out of him The rule even extends over into the matrimonial field or sea if you went to call it that. Some birds call it a sea because they find the sailing ao rough, and others call it a field be cause they find so many rocky part* it. To some of us callow’ fledgling* who have never ventured on this great excursion even as far as the ticket office, it would be the essence of arro gance to calm at all. My guess would be to Call it a sea for after seeing how some lads get in so deep, wqth no chance to get back, a sea is about aa good a comparison as any. Be that as it may, and all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, to throw a little of our best writer’s stuff in. that old adage scores heavy. And it always causes me to throw a few ; snickers when ! remember how one matrimonial bout worked in the re verse English. The male party to the agreement was a man. according to his birth cer tificate, but to quote the neighbors’ opinion he was merely something that wore mints. He was a cuckoo I’ll hand him that. When some cubist artist or escaped nut agent gave the waiting world a 10,000 volt shock in socks or neckties, our friend usually was first OR the boulevard with it. You could always hear him about three squares ahead of your ability *c see him. He parted his hair in the middle, but the Wise N. Hcimers of the village said he did that to main tain an equilibrium, for according to their version ofit, his head was merely a knob to keep his spinal cord from unraveling His conk was like the win ter home of a millionaire in the sum- TRENCH AND CAMP the Trench and Camp management the same problems that a city of aim ilar size would present. Study the newspaper of cities between 20,000 and 40,000 population. They are filled with peracne! news, gossipy para graphs. And the successful newspa pers sxe those that record everything worth printing. The deduction is obvious. The Trench end Camp pages should be CITIZEN VS. BANDIT “You say we are fighting to defeat militarism, Prussian militarism, well, are we not creating in America, as well a* the countries of France and England, a gigantic militarism our selves?" The speaker was a private at Camp Devens who was anxious to clear his mind on the reasons he wore a uni form. Someone, somewhere, had tried to confuse him. Every serious ques tion deserves t serious answer and this particular one keeps recurring frequently wherever the issues of the war are discussed. It is true we are creating a mighty army that we expect to be more mighty than the forces of Germany. It U true that France and Britain are each striving by every means to be more power nil in the use of force than the troop* of the Kaiser. As armies mean militarism we are creating a militarism more gigantic than the Prussian. It is the purpose of militarism and not militarism itself that makes the great distinction between the Allies and the Germans. It is not the weapon that is the murderer but tbe man who uses that weapon. It is not the axe that fella a tree but the woodsman. It is not the locomotive that drives the train but the engineer. Militarism is merely the instrument and it is the use or abuse of the in strument that makes Han evil. When we speek of Prussian militarism, we sre talking about ideas, not arms. We mean lust for conquest, ambition to dominate tbe world, shackling small nations to s whipping post. We mean ail the evil purposes for which the German army was so greatly enlarged and it is to prevent that army from carrying out those purposes of its leaders that we are fighting. Because a policeman carries a revolver—and uee* it—does not r ake him a burgiar. If Prussian militariam; dropped -te sinister peirp-.se* for the rps»r..-. ti.at tl.vte who control it be eat animated with democratic ideals, it would cease to he Prussian militarism and the wsr would end. it is only be cause the German government refuses to abandon its imperialistic program and release from bondage those peo ple* now under its Iron hand, that the Alb« must continue to fight. Tbe Allies cannot allow the German government to triumph because it would prove that Prussian militarism was a profitable business and brought concrete results that would undoubt edly benefit the German ruling class, in spite of the huge expenditure of life and treasure.

In fact I have hoard it said that nobody ever lived there. He had a face that always looked as if it had never bet.i finished. Hi* chin receded like some parts of Rock- Beach after a h!gn tide, and the expression on his lovely map was like * yard of wrapping paper, absolutely ‘ blank. Altogether he was some specimen of | humanity. The first time you met him ! . you were never sure whether you wanted to kiss him or kill him It takes time to make a fight or a . wedding and of course this matri monial melee wag no exception. After , giving the Apollo Belvidare hig share ; of the calcium the scene shifts to the ’ female of the species, who according ; > to our old friend, Ruddy Kipling, is more deadly than the male. , If pow’der wag deadly this peep was , a killer. The only way you could tell her from a sack of Pillabury’s best was -by the smell. At 9:00 P. M. she looked ’ like a Rembrandt, while at 9:00 A M. I she looked like the breaking up of a r hard winter. She was a real little , blushing blonde and ghe was artist , enough to get the blush on the same spot every inning. To her a broom was nothing more I ' than a bunch of straw’ tied on a stick | ! and she often wondered if baking pow- « : d«r was a brand of powder she hud ( [•never tried. The married women of:' t the neighborhood called her a young' huzzy and the girls *aid she was a blonde Theda Vampire. As to her vamping proclivities you can score her • up for your self, when I slip the news to you that she kidded our male friend along to such an extent that he prom ised to making a living for her If she would let the parson tie the knot. Now if appearances were true we : could draw a picture of our two fitends living on love, and if you ever tried living on love, you know as a des sert It has th* world stopped, but as a piece de resistance for a man-sized ineai it is a* filling as cream puffs and chocolate eau olaires. But using our opening shot a* a text puts another light on it. Love has been called a wonderful thing, and it certainly must be all of that because anything that could drive this young dude to work, was not only wonderful it'* magic. Before our filled with personal gossipy items. The Trench and Camp pages should print everything worth printing. Suppose we all get together on this proposition and decide to make the camp paper like the camp— wherever j sitnated—the best in the country. Trench and Camp is not a Y. M. , C. A. paper. It is not a War Depart ment paper. ) It is • soldier’s newspaper. 4 class in Germany, called Juicers, eare little how many lives are lost provided these comparatively few men could exact tribute from a conquered world. This class caret nothing for humanity or the happiness of peoples. It cases only for itself. Since the German government wanted war, would not have peace, and still is as autocratic and imperial istic a* ever, we must fight it until the end. We must completely discredit the war business. The only way to bring about its defeat is by force. The Germans cannot be talked to defeat. The Russians tried to talk to Ger many and lost the most fertile part of their country. When the German government rtiad admit defeat, it will admit the failure of the most ambition* attempt to win by might what was not its own by right, and all its forty years of prepa ration will have brought only the hu miliation of the meat costly failure ever known. Such a defeat ought to discredit such a government with its own people, particularly when they finally understand the unselfish aims of their enemies. A new Germany ought to evoive from the wreck, with an enlightened government, which will remove the last shades of mediaeval militarism and assist in the creation of a world government that will re duce the necessity of all defensive militarism to a minimum. Thus our huge army and those of the Entente Alues are fighting to de feat militarism in its most sinister form in order that it shall not con tinue to be a menace to the peace of the world. Once German militarism haa been completely discredited, then th* cause for our huge armament will cease to exist and being without a purpose, it will be greatly reduced. If German militarism is not deci sively hasten cow, it will of court-# continue to exist, to increase and to try again to win more spoils. That wjII mean that the All- .till ie c bhged to continue support of huge ci.neroent*. With such a highway man ration stii free to c art snath r war, no other policy on the part of its present enemies would be considered. Germany’s latest alliance with Aus tria show* the plans for the future of those two government*. They mean to have more Prussian militarism. Such a future, with colossal wax costs even in time* of peace, cannot even be contemplated. It staggers the mind and impresses on all of us the absolute necessity, for the sake of our country and ourselves, the suffering people of the world and our children, to win a complete victory. j FOR Hie COUNTRY .j "And what have you done for your (country, my man?” "Kept out of the army, »o I would j not be takln’ tbe place of a man who i was a better fighter than I am."— friend in skirts crossed his path, the only time he ever paw 6:00 A.
