14 WAR SECRETARY PRAISES WORK OF CAMP SERVICE Thousands of Ypung Men Ben efited by Community Recreation Fund Washington, Nov. 6. Both the communities adjacent to the training camps and the communities . from which the men have gone, and to which they will return after the war, will benefit greatly because of War t'amp Community Service," declares Secretary of War Uaker, in n state ment given ;o the public to-day. The statement conies In the midst of the nation-wide campaign this week to raise $4,000,000 to be known as the War Camp Community Rec reation Fund. This fund is to be expended in vai iuus ways, under the 1 direction of ihe War Department and ' Navy Department commissions on | Training Camp Activities, i'or whole- j some entertainment for llie enlisted j man when he is absent from his! camp jn temporary leave and noes ;o '.lie neighboring community to upend his idle hours. "The concerted effort on the part of .lie communities to uo Improve ; civic conditions that the thousands •if visiting young men and boys will j remain lean in mind, body lin.d • i-pirit, is bound io have a wholesome j • •fleet that will continue long utter I the soldiers have left," continues the i statement. "When good Is once tub utituted for evil influences tile latter j have received one of their linishing j blows. Other Advantages "But, besides the direct ndvant- j ages to ihe communities themselves J there is another important phase of; the situation. This phase has to do 1 with the enlisted men. "Proper community reception of: the American soldier and uailor will < necessarily make them more efficient i lighting men It will actually add to their military strength and make the! Army and Navy, as fighting units, j nore forceful. A nick uoldier, : whether physically or mentally nick, f is a detriment rather than an asset j to any army. With proper com- ( munit.v environment we will reduce; the n.umbcr of s'ck soldiers to a minimum. "The American public should con tribute most liberally to this cause j for ilie foregoing reasons, and rlso' because this community service will j instill 'n lie minds of our enlisted j men a stronger national spirit. It Is ! human for a man to fight better for , friends than for people who have ! looked upon him as an alien, a per- j ton fo be shunned, to be kept at a j distance. | "In view of all the splendid work being done inside the camps by van- ) oils organizations, it is high time we j should turn our attention also to the environment of the camps. The War , Camp Community Service furnishes j the solution of the latter problem." ; MKKTIXttS IX IJOSI'EI, HAM. lr. 1&. A. Martin, of Providence.

GERMAN PLAN HAS FARED TO CRIPPLE ITALY Military Situation Well in Hand; Political Conditions Excellent; Morale Good By Associated Press Rome, Tuesday, Nov. G. "The Germun plan has failed in regard to its political object," says u semi official statement issued here to-day. "Strong confidence is felt that it 'will fall to accomplish its military ob ject. The military situation, al though difficult, is being held in hand, while the political situation is excellent. Atl the living forces of the nation, without the least dis couragement, are united for the at tainment of the supreme aim, le maining at the side of the allies and repulsing the threats - and cajoleries of the enemy. "Naturally tho military situation lias been overturned completely, since it has been changed from pro gressive penetration to the enemy's territory, aiming at Luibaeh tuid Triest into a war of maneuver on the Venetian plains. Caused Military Crisis "The retreat chused a military crisis which gradually Is being solved by the assembling of troops on a pre viously established line and by Ihe rushing up of Anglo-French forces. While this is being done fighting is going on all the time so as to delay as much as possible the advance of the Austro-Germans who desire to take advantage of the situation. "The Italian army, faithful to the orders of its leaders, is fighting with a morale and a firm spirit." "Some time must necessarily elapse before an equilibrium has been re-established but all existing condi tions give confidence that the fate of the great battle initiated twelve days ago will be concluded in our fa vor. "The Italians are confronted by an imposing concentration of the en emy's troops and materials, under or ders of the German general staff, aiming to obtain on our front a defi nite decision in the European war by crushing Italy militarily and also by an internal political upheaval. "Instead, an unprecedented moral union throughout the country has been caused as the following exam ples prove: "The Catholic party voluntarily has dropped all polemics regarding the answer of Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign minister, to the papal note and lias declared itself ready to perform every duty imposed by pa triotism. "Even the Obserbafore Romano, the papal official organ, lias urged Catholics fully to accomplish their civic duty. "The Confederation of Workmen, representing the whole class, has published a manifesto urging that the mother country be supported by every means." I>l{. JOHN C.
