The Kid Brother in Camp
How Uncle Sam Hai Organized &a Training Camp
Activitiw to Provide Healthful Outlets for the Soldi an*-Energy
By June* H. CoBm
The "kid brother" Is now In camp.
He went full of health and energy—
the army surgeons have seen to that.
When he reached his National army
cantonment Dnde Sam Immediately be
gan to put more energy Into him. He
will live outdoors 16 hours a day, and
g<-t scientific physical training to tune
up every muscle In his body and make
It available for endurance and hard
work. War is the most energetic ac
tivity of mankind. They will fill the
kid brother full of the energy of the
athlete and give him the enjoyment
of properly trained muscles that coaies
to the acrobat. They will do this and
then multiply him by 600,000, and the
sum total of him will be 600,000 Ameri
can boys with more energy and better
ideas of how to use it than have ever
been possessed by an equal number.
This energy Is being generated to
fight the Germans. But before It can
be applied on the western front there
is a problem even more serious than
fighting Germans to be solved. Un
less you give that much energy an am
ple outlet It is going to wreck some
thing. If it cannot find anything else
to wreck it will wreck itself.
About a year ago In a little town on
the Mexican border there were 5,000
kid brothers In our National Guard
camp near a town which had not even
a pool room, much less a moving pic
ture theater. The one organized out
let for energy there was a well
equipped, efficiently run redlight dis
trict. Many of those 5,000 soldiers
did the logical thing—proceeded to
wreck themselves. They were so suc
cessful that the war department hur
riedly sent trained social workers to
see what could be done to stop the
damage, and one of these social work
ers who Is now In charge In the train
ing camp activities of the National
army resolved as he stood in the deso
late streets of Douglas, Ariz., that If he
ever got a chance to provide healthful
outlets for soldiers' energy he would
certainly do the best Job that he knew
how. Today this man. Raymond B.
Fosdlck, has charge of the training
camp activities of our new National
army, and what sort of a Job he Is do
„WU IUOJ ....
May Think Time Lost.
The kid brother knows that when
he goes to cainp Uncle Suui will have
provided for hitu a uniform, a rifle, a
place to live and sleep, and proper in
struction iu the soldiers' discipline and
duties. He has probably seeu some
figures of the food that he Is to eat,
the millions of pounds of beef, and
beans, aad jatu; the trainloads of po
tatoes and onions and cabbage. He
is willing to do this patriotic service
as a soldier. Yet he may also feel
that his period of soldiery, whether It
last one year or five, may be so much
time dropped out of his life, spent In
a sort of Jail far from the people and
the things that he likes. If he has
heard anything at all about training
camp activities it is probably about
only that part of it which relates to
booze and vice. So much has been said
about safeguarding his morals that he
may have good reason to think that ho
Is going to have a pretty dull, slsslfled
sort of a time.
Suppose the kid brother comes from
some country town where good shows
are seldom seen. If he got a chance
to see a real Broadway success under
^he management of a man like Marc
Klaw he would not let It get by. Well,
he Is golug to a place where there will
be a theuter under the management
of Marc Klaw, and will have a chance
to see some of the real Broadway suc
cesses. Booze and vice have received
altogether too much publicity In con
nection with the soldiers' training, Mr.
Fosdlck says—they are negative activ
ities in his job and also the least im
portant and most uninteresting. Despite
a great public curiosity in this phase
of the work there has been little
difficulty in making the surround
ings clean. The army has enlist
ed local polite officials in every train
ing camp territory, and these terri
tories have been cleaned up, and vice
and booze are giving little trouble, and
that Is about all there Is to say of
them.
Show Every Night.
The active work Is much more Inter
esting. This Is divided Into work In
side the camp and outside in adjoining
cities and towns. Each cantonment
will have its own theater, seating 3,500
people, and In these theaters every
night there will be shows given by pro
fessional actors and actresses traveling
on regular circuits, far above the av
erage theatrical amusements available
to 75 per cent of the boys in their
home towns. Two weeks every month
,wlll be given up to legitimate dramu,
goods plays, and musical shows, cur
rent successes from the b'g towns.
One week will be given up to moving
pictures and vaudeville, and the fourth
week to lectures, concerts, and ama
teur stuff.
Hundreds of our leading actprs and
actresses have volunteered their serv
ices without pay, while those taking
minor parts unable to give their serv
ices will receive nominal salaries.
This entertainment is not to be free.
They tried that up in Canada and
found that the soldiers, like everybody
else, appreciate best what they pay for.
Then there will be singing. Every
army cantonment is to bare Its singing
instructor, /or sinolog la a. wonderful
coordinator in army discipline, and
lightens the jtiard work of marching
and soldiering Immensely;. Many a com
mander has said that he does not fear
the outcome when an army goes Into
battle singing. Already It has been
found that our soldiers are anxious to
sing under skillful leadership, and we
know that we must meet on the west
ern front an army that Is not only the
most highly. trained In the world In
military tactics, but also .trained In
singing. A German regiment on the
march will sli\£la a way to make one's
hair stand ou end. The men wUi,swlng|
along to a German song that runs'
for six beats, and then will stop
abruptly for two beats, and sing for
four beats more and then stop four
beats. Every national resource that
we have In the way of ragtime and
college cheers will be needed when we
meet the trained singing soldiers of
the kaiser, and as we learn from them
In treneh fighting and bombing, so we
must learn from them In this.
Idle Tlme .lt OrganUed.
The other day a f(ew York lawyer
who was a pacifist until war was de
clared, but who now understands that
sometimes the best way to get peace is
to fight for It visited his brother who
Is training in an eastern camp. He
found his brother hard and brown,
every inch a soldier, keen for the west
ern front, and glad to be in the army,
but he also f«ind that j)ls brother hjid
FRENCH SPAD IS THE SWIFTEST WAR PLANE
m f* v -I 11Ii I IIjMM
The spad Is the swiftest of the nir craft used by the armies In Europe.
This one has been officially named Ma Jeanne by ltii pilot
a great deal of time upon his nanus
which It was difficult to use to advan
tage. In civil life the kid brothers'
day can be pretty efficiently planned.
When he gets done at the office or fac
tory he has sports and social interests,
can read or study, and make every half
hour count in a general scheme of
work, play, and self-improvement. In
the training camps there must be a
different scheme. Surroundings are not
alwnys so favorable to study, and
many an hour which in civil life would
be utilized to some useful end is idled
away. But this Idle time is also being
organized and in ways that not only
make for personal improvement but
for better citizenship. At some of the
cantonments It has already been dis
covered that hundreds of recruits can
not read or write the English language.
They come from sections in the coun
try settled by European immigrants
ivhere the parents' language has been
retained and contact with Americans
a.is not beqn sufficient. Classes in Knir
lish have been started and wtien inese
boys come out of the army they will
be American In speech and Ideals. The
French language and French geography
are being widely taught because It has
been found that these studies make the
most direct appeal to recruits.
Then there are the sports. Many a
country boy who has lived far from
baseball and football and many a city
boy whose interest In boxing and wrest
ling has found outlet only through
sporting pages of the newspapers will
find in camp not only the opportunity
to play these games for himself but to
learn under a competent Instructor.
Each camp will have one of the best
college coaches in the country, and the
sports will be organized In a way to
give every recruit his chance to play
the game he like.s^and to excel In It.
