THE GREAYcuTiSE OF OUR SOLDIERS roXTIM Kl KK"M l' V';K NK nnd corporations were formed to sup ply the military trade." Mouses for W omen. IxinB row of buildings were erected for the expretM purpose of harboring piostitutes. In some inslancc sol diers were stationed as guards In these buildings and In the restricted areas, which were thronged with recruits who often formed long waiting lines at the doors of the houses of prostitu tion. In at leiust two instances hous of prostitution were established within the lines of military camps and under military control. In many of tho seg regated districts In tho vicinities of rampi there were certain houses thut cutprcd only to the trade of officers. Some of these establishments were conducted In an orderly manner, and army medical officers took every pos sible prophylactic measure to aaro gunrd the health of the men. Never theless each of tlwse districts was a distributing point for venereal diseases, which became distressingly prevalent. One syphilitic woman wns found, for example, to whom one hundred and twenty men had been exposed. Such were conditions on tho border at tlulr worst. Tho war department had 'Also examples of how repressive mcasiircH work for military efficiency. One of these was a large camp In the vicinity of two small towns. Here sa loons and houses of prostitution tried i. Mutnltlfttli themselves, but were promptly suppressed by tho command ing' officer, who did not tecnnicauy have the authority to do so, but as sumed It on the ground of military ef riclnency. One saloonkeeper defied this officer and opened his doors. A guard was stationed nt this establish ment to sen that it was not patronized by any soldier. After a week, with no biislneHH, the saloon was closed. Pros titutes In these towns were riven one hour to pack their belongings and were then escorted to Win train. I'roiitl of tlx' lliinih. This officer's experiment In tho re pression of vice showed that from a military point of view such measures are practicable and effective. There was very little venereal disease. In this command, nor was any discontent evident. On tho contrary, the men were wont to express pride In tho fact that they belonged to a "clean nuncn. ti.- ba,'lmiint nroved what students of prostitution have long known, that the existence of open establishments for that purpose attracts many men who would not otherwise be exposed TO THEATER LOVERS Henry W.

Convinced hy this experience on the Mexican border, and by the Kuropean ixample, that commercialized vice weakens an army, often more than The bullets of the enemy, ami that It can he inccf sHfully suppressed, the administration had inserted In the national army bill two suctions which Kive the president broad powor over the environments of camps, inese sections (12 and 13 In the army hill of May 18, 1HI7) jrlvo tho secretary of war power to "do everything by him deemed necessary to protect men In military training from prosti tution. These powers were later ex tended to tho secretary of tho navy. Thus was placed in the hands of the executive branch of tho govern ment practically absolute power over this law were Immediately framed by the war department, and Secretary Haker wrote a letter to tho governor of each state. In which he expressed commercialized vice, insofar as It can possibly affect the military establish ments. This lcKlslation constitutes a revolutionary step in the solution of this Kreat military problem, and one which is having far-renchlnu effects upon the whole problem of the con trol of venereal disease. Social AppoaLx, KeKulatioiiH for the enforcement of his determination to enforce theso reBiiliitlons absolutely and added that In cuso conditions were not satisfac tory In the jylcinlty of any camp, that camp would be moved. This latter threat, of course, K"ve the secret. iry an Immense leverage by means of its appeal to local self-interest. In spite of the drastic character of these regulations and tho forthright expressions of the secretary's letter, there were men both In civil life and tho army who could not believe that the time-honored policy of tol . ittlnK the ravages of deadly communicable diseases as a necessary evil was really to be chanced. The now historic case of a certain southern city is In point. As a camp was to be located near this city, tho secretary of war wrote to the mayor. statlnK that commercialized vice must first be eradicated. The mayor re plied expressing his Ignorance of the existence of any such evil In his city. Tho secretary thereupon sent two fed eral Investigators, who obtained exact flKures showing that there were a number of houses of prostitution, glv Ingr the names of the occupants, the prices charted, the fact that soldiers were patronizing the houses and that policemen were bribed not to molest them. The mayor was srcatly en lightened. This city has been clean i Ing house ever since. The camp has neen moved hut not because or con ditions In the city. 1;"i0;'.tf Less well known is the enso of a competent army office who wan ra ported to have made a speech In a town near which ho was to establish a military camp, Baying that a house of prostitution must be estaMlshe there: and that unless this was done ho would recommend the removal of the camp to another site. This town was one which had previously eradi cated commercial vice, and wiis proud of tho fact. It also needed tho mill tnry camp. Nevertheless, the mayor of the town telegraphed to the ecre tnry of war demanding to know whether the department hacked the efflcer's attitude. Ho was vigorously assured thit it did not. On the same day tho officer Issued a newspaper In tervlew flatly denying that ho hud ever recommended the establishment of a house of prostitution, Puch Incidents ai these havn gone far to convince all concerned that tho war department Is In enrnest In Its In tention to remove the menace of com. merclal vice from the vicinity of Its training ramps. Meantime, the ac tual w.irk of eradication Is going for ward with an energy and thoro ness that Is even more convincing. Many neeneles are engaged, dirept Iv nnd Indirectly, but those that do the bulk of the work are the .Com mission of Training Camp Activities, tho United St.ttea public health service and the medical corps of the army ami navy. The commission, thrJ Its legal department. Is enforcing tho pc.llce work of eradicating prostitu tion from the vicinities of the camps, and through Its recreational depart ments is providing the men with exer cise nnd diversion. The public health service making the eradication of veneral dl.ie.ise nn Important part of its sanitary work tn the environments of the camps. The army nnd navy medical corps la closely co-operating with both of these agencies, are Intro, during the most modern methods of prophylaxis nnd treatment of veneral dUease, and are conducting a cam paign of education in sex hygiene among the recruits by literature, lec tures nnd motion picture. The driving force back of nil theao aeencles, the thing that will innko their efforts effective. Is the belief of the people that this work ouKht to ho done. In all parts of the country pub lic opinion Is backing the government program of clean cities for 11 clean army. Suicide IdcnlirUsl. CINCINNATI. Nov.
