ers went to Army camps with emotional appeals designed to whip up sentiment for walloping the Kaiser. The country isn't at war, and Army officers studying the problem here believe there is no place for such a propaganda campaign within the Army now. But they are studying means of carrying to the soldiers, through the officer personnel, the story of what is' happening in the international situation from day to day.
Follow British Pattern
Close attention is being given the British system, in which the company commander daily spends. a short time bringing his men up to date on the events of the war and their significance. Once a week, in the British Army, each company devotes an hour to a seminar on the whys and wherefores of the war. Officials studying the problem here believe that something on this pattern may offer part of the answer to the U, 8. Army’s morale problem. After months of study, Army offi-

national situation; (3) the fact that the country is not at war, that many soldiers belive they never will fight, and that there is no immediate goal.
Command Is Changing
As to the first, officer personnel is being given an overhauling, and the current maneuvers are pointing the direction to wholesale changes in Army command. On the third, there is no answer the Army can supply. So special attention is being given now to the second. Few officers—Brig. Gen. Frederick H. Osborn, head of the Army's morale branch, included — believe the answer to morale is in athletic activities, theatrical entertainment and such diversions. These contribute, they agree, but they are not the fundamental approach necessary.

the world, but these factors alone do not provide high morale, officers agree. As plans are now crystalizing, a move may be undertaken to supply officer personnel, especially those officers in daily contact with troops, with information: on the conduct and progress of the war
and the background of interna-|
tional affairs. Books Recommended
The current bulletin of the War Department’s morale branch, for example, cites a number of books which officers may read to get “a clearer background of the war now raging in Europe, political sha evo nomic forces involved, and the sition of the United States in the world today.” Emphasis also is being placed on books “dealing with the company commander's relationship with his unit. Attention is paid to British and German treatises in this field. Officers here believe that an educational campaign along such
lines will help to meet the prob-
lem of the soldier now asking, “why do we need a big army?” or “why do we have to serve?”
