The Meaning of Your
Subscription to the
4th Liberty Loan
What Is the Liberty Loan?
It’S forts and It’s ships nnd It’s shin
ing guns.
It's a squadron that sweep the sea.
It’s all of the circling band of steel
That shall keep all the homo shores
free.
It's grub and It's warmth for the sailor
lad
Far out on the wintry foam.
For the brave jock tar. as he fights
afar,
It'S the good old "money from home."
What Is the Liberty Lson?
It's rifle and helm and It's bayonet.
It's shovel and shard and shell
For the soldier boy In olive drab,
Out there on the edgo of hell
It’s the soaring wings of the whirring
planes
That battle on high alone.
For the lad who Is. daring "Over
There"
It's the good old "money from home;"
What la the Liberty Loan?
It's succor and life for a bleeding
world.
It's the glimmer at Peace at dawn.
It’s the strength of a mighty arm to
strike.
It's the gleam of a great sword, drawn.
But, more than all. It's the pledge of
love
To the lads whom we call “Our Own."
To the boys on land, afloat, on high.
. It’s the good old “money from home."
By Ralph E. McMillin.
The Peace Our Soldiers
Want—The Peace Our
War Mothers Want
The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper published by the soldiers <fr
the. American Expeditionary Forces In
France, says editorially, about the
enemy peace offensive:
"Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of a compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace by
agreement; let the sldellners who have
had enough of war; let. dio secretly
inclined pro-Oermans who think this
war should end without a decision
let them one and all know once and
for all that for the American Expedi
tionary Force Xfeere is no such word
its ' with the Huns uub<:it<->>. •
The min who talks of .
except through victory, is a traitor." |
The enemy peace offensive is likened
to the action of German machine-gun I
crews in the V'esle fighting, when they i
fought and k 'led Americans until '
they were surrounded, then shouted .
■ “Kamerad."
The mothers of the American Sol- |
dlers In France want the same peace ,
their sons demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is In
the heart of the women of America. J
The object of the Fourth Liberty ,
Loan is to bring that peace—a just
peace, a righteous peace, an American ■
peace.
Women In War Work
Secretary McAdoo designated a day
for Women in War Work.
"Millions of women in the United
States are engaged in war work. Seven
hundred thousand serve as active
workers in the organisation of the
National Woman's Liberty Loan com
mittees. Seventy thousand women are
employed m the railroads. Hundreds
of thousands of women are laboring In
the munition factories. Other him- ;
dreds of thousands serve in clerical
work directly related to the, war. As
many more arc engaged In. the Red
Cross and other activities for the
amelioration of war conditions.
"The women of America arc doing
their share In the winning of the war,
both by actual work and by the tre
mendous force of their moral in
fluence. It is fitting that their service
should be memorialized, and Saturday,
Oct. sth was observed in Fousth Lib
erty Loan campaign as Woman in
Wor Wark Day.’’—W l» McAdoo.
The Home Front
The battle front in Europe is not the
only American front. There is a home
front, and our people at home should
be as patriotic as our men in uniform
in foreign lands.
Every Amelcan soldier who has
fallen in France, every American sailor
who has di<d for his country's cause
has given his life for his people. Surely
we, their people, can lend our money to
our nation, their country.
The fourth Liberty Loan is the fight
ing loan. Its great success will bring
comfort and encouragement and deep
sense of pride tc. our army and our
navy, and to our allies; it will bring
discouragement po our enemies. Its
stfccess means American victory, Prus
sian defeat.
The fourth loan is the fighting loan,
the soldiers’ loan.
Liberty Day
Saturday. October 12th, is the four
hundred and twenty-sixth anniversary
of the discovery of America. Presi
dent Wilson has proclaimed It Liberty
Day and requests the citizens of every
community in the United States—city,
town, and country side—to celebrate
the day.
The president, in his proclamation,
says:
“Every daj the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought ;.t d purposes and
make it clearer what the end must be
and what we mutt do to achieve it
“We now know more certainly than
we ever knew- before why free men
brought the Great Nation and govern
ment we love Into existence because
it grows clearer and cleared what su
preme service It Is to be America's
privilege la lender to the world.”

OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY
With this issue “Trench and Camp”
completes the first year of its exis
tence.
A review of its accomplishments in
that year is permissible. A study of its
I shortcomings is sure to be profitable.
In the first place, it may be well to
review the inception of the project.
When the plans for the training camps
Bud cantonments were outlined, Mr.
John Stewart Bryan, publisher of the
News Leader, of Richmond, Va., con
ceived the idea of producing a news
paper for Camp Lee, the great canton
ment nearby. The more he considered
this plan the more useful he thought
■ it would be and his mind evolved the
idea of inviting publishers all over the
country in cities adjacent to training
camps to engage in a similar service
for the soldiers.
One after another the newspaper
proprietors agreed to Mr. Bryan’s pro
j posals and soon it became evident that
It would be possible to launch a chain
of newspapers serving every divisional
camp and cantonment in the United
States.
When Mr. Bryan was presenting his
proposal to the newspaper publishers,
I other thoughtful men in the country
; were turning their attention to the
camp publication question. Among
them was Dr. George E. Vincent, pres
ident of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Dr. Vincent had urged upon the Na
tional War Work Council of the
Young Men’s Christian Association
the need of camp newspapers. Lead
ers of the Y. M. C. A. agreed with
Dr. Vincent that the need was vital.
But they could see no practicable so
lution of the problems presented.
By a strange coincidence, Mr. Bryan
submitted his plan to the National War
Work Council at the same time that
they were discussing Dr. Vincent’s
statement. Thus it happened that Mr.
Bryan submitted a concrete method
of achieving Dr v ,Vincent’s purpose.
; The main difficulty at the outset was
; to secure trained newspaper men for
service within the several camps, to
j whom could be entrusted the respon-
I sibilityofor producing the local publi-
I cations.
Some camps were singularly fortu-
I bate in the number of newspaper men
i already in the military service who
could be called upon to cooperate.
I Others were just as unfortunate be
cause no newspaper men were avail
' able. The wide divergence in the num
i her of newspaper men in individual
camps is perhaps best illustrated in
! Camp Wadsworth and Camp Sevier,
these two camps being only a few
j miles apart.
At Camp Wadsworth a newspaper
I for the aoldiera was decided upon and
I it was produced under the auspices of
! the Young Men’s Christian Associa-
I tion, though not in connection with the
“Trench and Camp” chain. A meeting
of the newspaper men was called and
forty-two were found to be in the mil
itary service there. Among them were
* Colonel, a Lieutenant-colonel, a
. Chaplain and many other commis
i 'slotted officers. Camp Wadsworth was
i ( the training place of the 27th Division,
former National Guard troops from
,New York State. On the Mexican Bor
, dor these troops had previously been
| mobilized an a division and they had
1 also previously published a newspaper.
' The "Gas Attack," an excellent weekly
| FRENCH FOR SOLDIERS |
BY O. F. WELLS.
U”'' s " *v. „ 4i rec f| on of Mr o. k.
V\en.-. v hi ,'rench Director, a lesson
in .French loi soldiers will appear ev
ery week in Trench and Camp. These
lessons will have the two-fold purpose
of providing instruction for men who
will be unable to join the French class
es to be organized by Mr. Wells, and
of providing text for the use of the
men who will attend these classes;
they should, therefore, be carefully
preserved for further use. Men of the
same squad might profitably form a
class for tho discussion and study
among themselves of these lessons,
which will aim te furnish a reading
and speaking knowledge of the lan
guage rather than a fciudy of its gram
matical form.
The first lesson follows:
First lesson in French. Pronunciation.
Vowels are all open sounds and may
be produced in the following manner:
Open the mouth wide and breathe
out the sound ah—which equals the
French— A.
Close the mouth slightly and breathe
the sound—a as we sound it paper.
This gives the French- -E.
Close the mouth a little more and
give in the same mannet—e —which
equals the French -I.
Contract the mouth still more and
give the sound—o—as in the Er lish
—lo—-this gives us the French O.
The mouth is now nearly closed and
the sound emitted should be as—ew—

the sound of a —as in paper; the first,

as in Tris—(tray)—very; and the
third still longer, as in Te.? (tate)—

printed on super-calendered paper in
. magazine form, was their camp publi
cation at Wadsworth.
( Now take Camp Sevier. Not only
was there not a single trained news-
■ paper man available at the outset, but
the publishing facilities were very lim-
, ited, the local newspaper plant being
taxed to the limit of its capacity and
facing a serious labor shortage
’ But just as this recital illustrates the
. divergence in facilities, it illustrates
. also the universality of the “Trench
and Camp” service. Through its Na
tional Headquarters, "Trench and
Camp” was able to solve many of the
• local problems; through the self-sac-
I rificing patriotism of the local pub
: Usher the ultimate handicaps were
: overcome. Camp Sevier has its own
: newspaper. And be it said here that
: the Camp Sevier edition has been
: steadily improving.
Mention has been made of the diffi
culty in providing local editors for the
■ individual camps. Some unfortunate
: selections were made; some unfortu
i nate mistakes resulted.
I It was the aim of the “Trench and
I Camp” movement to produce a chain
of local papers, each one reflecting the
life within the camp and portraying
the hope of the nation in its soldiers.
“Trench and Camp" aimed to be as
President Wilson put it, “in a very
special sense a soldier’s newspaper.”
Where “Trench and Camp” realized
its ideal and became “a living, vital!
transcript of the life of the army,” it
instantly won a place in the hearts of
the men. They came to await its
weekly appearance as they would the
arrival of a letter from home. Where
"Trench and Camp” fell short of its
purpose it also fell short of popularity
The reason for any failure was no*
difficult to find. In nearly every in
stance it lay in the calibre of the local
editor. Where a local editot was
broad-visioned enough to catch the
spirit of its ideal of service he had no,
difficulty; where the local editor was
narrow-visioned and used the columns
of the paper to serve his own purposes
he failed. Some editors thought of;
“Trench and Camp” as a Y. M. C. A 1
organ. They failed to gUmpse the
ideal, which was and is unselfish serv
ice. When the National War Work
Council sanctioned the expenditure oi
funds for camp publications it was no;
that the Y. M. C. A. might be adver-;
tised, but the Association might in
crease the scope of its service. Nr
narrow-visioned man could understand
the spirit of that kind of a contribu ■
. tion. It took months, in some in-!
stances, to eliminate such men. But
, the elimination has been accomplished
we believe. If we at the National
Headquarters are mistaken we have
only to be informed, and this state
! meat is made on the authority of D:
: John R. Mott, General Secretary, and
■ Messrs. Fletcher S. Brockman and J.
: S. Tichenor, Associate General Secrc
; taries. ;
! Now then for a statement of the,
achievements cf “Trench and Camp.”
i Weekly newspapers are now pro
i duced in thirty-eight of the great train-
■ ing camps. Some of these papers:
i would be highly creditable even to
, large cities. Some of them suggest
i metropolitan newspapers and are pro-
■ duced with the assistance of motropol-.
i itan newspaper men. Some papers are]
I not so creditable. But only one or

tional Headquarters do not expect the
impossible; but we do expect improve
ment.
It is a matter of experience that the
best newspapers are those produced
by the soldiets themselves, to whom
the local editor is but a friendly ad
viser and whose chief function is intel
ligent supervision. In several of the'
camps tne soldiers have organized,
press clubs, the condition of member
ship being contributing to the col
umns of the local edition. The clubs
meet every week and, under the direc
tion of the local editor, “news assign
ments” are given. To remain in the
club a soldier must fulfill his assign
ments. One failure will mean suspen-!
sion;,. two failures expulsion. The
press clubs, with this system of self
government have proved a valuable
assistance in producing the local j
papers and the idea is commended to
all camps.
“Trench and Camp” has not only
stimulated interest and pride in the
military units, but it has been a wel
come messenger to the home. Thou
sands are mailed home every week,
and many parents and relatives have
had their anxieties dispelled by the
realization that army life is a very
human relation after all.
“Trench and Camp” has rendered
valuable and highly valued service to
the United States government, not
alone in entertaining, instructing and ]
inspiring the soldiers; but in proclaim
ing the need of supporting the Liberty
Bond issues. Our files bear eloquent
testimony to the value of the service
we have rendered.
In the War Saving Stamps move
ment "Trench and Camp” has influ
enced the diverting of many quarter
dollars to the United States Treasury.
The War Risk Insurance, that splen
did boon to the soldiers, has been ex
plained with great care and in infinite
detail to the men in service through
the columns of “Trench and Camp,”
and that these explanations have
served a useful purpose is indicated by
the eagerness with which insurance
officers seek space in these soldier pub
lications.
The Quartermaster’s Department
has counted upon the columns of
"Trench and Camp” as the medium of
preaching the new gospel of conser
vation and reclamation and the soldier
who thought the government was
mean when it insisted on rigid econ-

omies has been taught that there is
untold wealth in waste.
Then, too, the great “drives” for
funds for the welfare bodies have been
assisted by the camp publications.
So we might go on. But there is a
limit to our space. We feel that the
year has mere than justified our being,
! and we look forward to another year
of even greater usefulness.
We would be remiss indeed if we
; did not take advantage of this oppor
tunity to thank the publishers through
out this country who have placed their
| printing plants at the disposal of
“Trench and Camp” and who have as
sisted us so wisely and so well, some
1 of them even supervising the makeup
and editorial policy themselves.
Also we feel that our thanks are
! due to Dr. Frederick P. Keppel, the
l Third Assistant Secretary of War,
whose kindly cooperation and firm
but friendly counsel have been ours at
all times —‘even when Dr. Keppel has
seemed to be immersed in the multi
tudinous details of his great office.
To Malcolm L. Mcßride, of the War
Department Comurission on Training
Camp Activities, we would address an
other word of gratitude. His criti
cisms have always been constructive
—and that is a fine thing to be able
to say of any man.
Os course the National War Work
Council of the Young Men’s Christian
Association is to be thanked. But the
editors have been assured repeatedly
that the most welcome word will be
the assurance that the soldiers them
selves are satisfied. Let us say that
there are indications that certain of
the “Trench and Camp” publications
will not only be self-supporting during
the next year, but will show profits.
The National War Work Council will
devote the profits from these publi
cations to the camps they serve. The
funds will be turned over to the mil
itary authorities to spend as they see
fit for the benefit of the men. The
Y. M. C. A. does not want to make
money out of “Trench and Camp” and
will not do so.
A final word—and this to the local
editors: Sometimes we at the Nation
al Headquarters may seem harsh and
exacting. Let no one get the impres
sion that we are too harsh or too ex
acting. We know the local editors’
handicaps, but also we know their pos
sibilities. A happy and useful bfew
Year to you all!
I owing to the natural consequences of
; war their birth has caused them to suf
i fer in many ways, so that many have
i been deprived, in part at least, of their

I States Government does not propose
; that these people shall be made to suf-
I fer and has taken concrete steps to
i help them. It is also the duty of this
i committee to assist the families of in

This activity is another example ot
