The war department commission on training camp activities today made public correspondence between Chairman Fosdick and Mayor Rogers, of Lexington, Ky., in which the mayor asknowIedges that the committee's Investigation of moral conditions around Camp Stanley, discloses a situation "simply horrible," and pledges his personal and official word that, he will use
every means in his power "to correct awful conditions that now exist." When the situation was brought to the attention of Mayor Rogers by Chairman Fosdick on Sept. 12. the mayor replied that Lexington's public officials were unaware of a single disorderly housein the city. The training camps commission then sent agents who made an investigation that disclosed twenty-six disorderly houses In Lexington "all running in full bloom," and selling of liquor to soldiers In direct violation of the federal laws. The report of the commission was sent to Mayor Rogers who replied that although he at first firmly be
lieved there was not a single disorder
ly house in Lexington, the evidence
conveyed to him by the commission
convinced him beyond doubt that the situation in Lexington "is simply
horrible.
than tve hundred thousand of the inhabitants of the provinces, according to official figures, have migrated to France. Immediately after the declaration of war three years ago, every one of real Alsatian, or Lorraine origin, who eould find a way to do so, made a hurried departure over the frontier line, Hundreds Kept in Camps. Hundreds of those remaining owing to their Inability t leave in time, were at once sleied as suspects and sent to prisonment or internment camps, where they have been kept In confinement for three year!. While the migration was in progress, the younger nd more daring spirits among the men of Alsace and Lorraine took, the still more serious step ot joining the Franca army. Over thirty thousand of them have fought beneath the tri-color since the war began. Many of them by . their
heroism. ; have gained high rank, while numbers of their comrades have made the great sacrifice.

have fought for France, the two provinces have supplied many military
leaders of high renown, among them

soldier's death In fighting the Ger-

Loyalty to Rulers is Act of Homage to God, Says Cardinal
WASHINGTON, Oct 12. Cardinal Gibbons wrote President Wilson in a letter made public here today that he is trying to "persuade all Americans that they can do the greatest good to themselves and their country by a cheerful and generous performance of their duty, as it is pointed out to them by lawfully constituted authority. "The letter was written on the occasion of the recent formation of the League for National Unity, of which Cardinal Gibbons is honorary chairman. President WDson in reply thanked the cardinal for accepting the chairmanship of the league. "In these days of the gravest problems, which have ever weighed upon our American government," wrote the cardinal, "our thoughts go out to the
chief executive, warmed by a heartfelt sympathy for the heavy burdens of office which he must bear, and
freighted with the unwavering deter
mination of loyal citizens to stand by
him in his every effort to bring suc
cess to our arms and to achieve those Ideals of justice and humanity which
compelled our entrance into the war.
"We wish our people to see and we
are striving to help them to realize
that they owe unswerving loyalty to the rulers whom they have elected to office and that in doing so they are not acting in a slavish manner, or obedience is not an act of servility we pay to man, but an act of homage we pay to God. "We are working to the end that our countrymen may see ihe folly and grave disobedience of unjust and illtempered criticism of national policies.
