CLEANLINESS
Men in Detention Camps are
,i,.. Taught to be Clekn
and Obedient
Camp Kearny, San Diego. Cal., Oct
17.—Cleanliness and discipline are
two army'customs hammered into re.-,
emits In the detention camp here
with such vigor that It is-hard to say
which receive most attention. Camp
cleanliness Is Insisted upon as much
as personal cleanliness, and the result
is that conditions exist In'the recruit
caihp: at all' times which would do
credit to the best organized line reg
iment I
The most plentiful thing at the
capip is man-power. Hundreds of
men are available there at any time,
and to train as many as poaeible as
well as to get the work done quickly*
and' well, very large "police"Vd^tails
are used. At most any hour ot the
day groups ot six or seven men under'
command of an "acting corporal',V
himself a recruit, c*a be seen gather
ing tip any chance bits of paper,
bt^rnt match ends, or other waste
throughout the camp.'
The ground is kept scrupulously
clean. Sanitary reasons, training of
the men and pride in the organization
are factors which cause officers to in
sist upon this. An empty cigarette
wrapper on the ground would rank
a misdemeanor here, while to
leave fruit peelings about 'Would be
almost a felony.
We have an extraordinarily high
class of men In this carrtp," "said one
officer, "and while in many places
pride is not a very evident thing in
recruit receiving camp, we have it
in our men here and we-{rant them
to have it In the organization. Two
things we can give them as basis for
this—discipline and cleanliness—and
we are doing It."
To aid the men in keeping them
selves and their camp clean many de
vices, the product of army manuals
or the experience of some "old timer"
among the officers,"-are in use. /'One
of these is a rock platform for the'
tables on which clothes or dishes are
washed. The platforms are bulft of
cobblestones picked up nearby. Water
hed dqwn from the vwashtuBfr
above cannot/fcollect on them and
form unsanitary puddles Ifrom which
the men might collect muddy spat
terings on shoes or- leggings. ..
The cleanliness and order go. fur
ther than the bare -ground of the
camp, howeveh—every tent floor is as
spic and span as it Is possible to have
any space of bare flarth. Every re
cruit's shoes are placed under his dot
in the approved position, every tent
is rolled up in regular fashion ea«h
morning so the sun and air inay
reach every place beneath It
This painstaking cleanliness goes
even further-than is the case in many
Instances, in civil life., For example,
provisions are hauled to the camp In
big automobile trucks, protected by
canvas sheets. Each sheet whether
used lh the handling office, meat, or
only bread is scrubbed with soap and
scrubbing brushes before it is used,
again.
We could not. do this with low
grade men," said Captain Irwin W.
Minger, commanding the recruit
camp. "But these men are of an ^n-
Uy high type. So^e are doing
a lot of things that will make them
even better soldiers then they would
US without 'itljli'training.t
SANG POPULAR ATM
Camp Kearny, San Diego, CaL, Oct
17.—Although ithe Germans marched
in undefended Belgian cities singing
'Duetschland TJber AUes" and Amer
ican troops are said to have sung
popular airs as they advanced upon
Chateau Thierry, recruits here have,
a different refrain. Almost any time
when they are drilling the chant,
"Left! Left, One, two, three, four,"
repeated, endlessly, can be heard a
quarter of a mile or more away*
Some officers have their entire
commands shout this eeries of words
as they march or drill others make
more sparing use of it but most -of
them use/ it because "It keeps the
men's mind occupied," or "it-devel
ops their lungs." One gave a long
explanation of the psychology where
by such a repetition would, he saM,
"train the men's subconscious minds
in rythm so they always would keep
the arn^y cadence in walking."
