“Lonely” Soldiers Are Liable to Court-Martial

Anniston, Ala. —Soldiers who advertise in newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as being “lonely” are subject to trial by court-martial and severe punishment, according to orders issued from divisional headquarters at Camp McClellan. Upon investigation military officials have found that certain soldiers have appealed to the sympathies of the public through such advertisements and have • been flooding the regimental post offices with answers to such appeals.
