In a recent communication to Secretary of War Baker, General Pershing paid our boys this splen- did compliment: “There has never been a similar tbody of men to lead as clean lives as our American soldiers in France. They have entered this war with the highest devotion to duty and with no other idea than to per- form these duties in most efficient manner possible. They fully re- alize their obligation to their own their friends, and the country. A rigid program of in- struction is carried out daily with traditional American enthusiasm. Engaged in healthy, interesting exercises in the open air, with simple diets, officers and men, like trained athletes, are ready for their tasks, Forbidden the use of strong drink and protected by stringent regulations against sex- ual evils, and supported by their own moral courage, their good’ be- haviour is the subject of most fa- vorable comments, especially by our allies, American mothers may rest assured that their sons area credit to them and to the Nation, and they may well look forward to the proud day when on the battle ficid these splendid men will shed a new luster on American manhood.” Cottonwood Milling & Elevator Co., Ltd.
