Tho campaign for clean speech among the soldiers will come to a climax on the evening of May 30, when special talks will bo heard in tho camn amusement building and addresses mado on tho subject. Circulars aro being sent to every Sunshine Sammy, containing a copy of an order issued by General George Washington, August 3, 1776, to the Colonial army, and urging his men to discontinue the use of profane language. lan-guage. The order follows: Tho general is sorry to bo informed in-formed that the foolish and wickeil practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in an American army, is Rowing into fashion. He hopes xhe officers will, by example, as well as influence, endeavor to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hopo of the blessing of Heaven of our arms if wo insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and despises it. Inspired by the same ideals, President Wilson has addressod to American soldiers sol-diers and sailors tho following order relating to Sunday observance. Copies have been issued to the men by order of Major Goneral Frederick S. Strong, divisional cotninauder. President Sends Order. The president, commander-in-chief of the -army and navy of the United States, following the reverent rev-erent example of his predecessor, desires and enjoins the orderly observance ob-servance of the Sabbath by the officers of-ficers and men in the military and naval service of the United States. The importance for man and beast of the prescribed weekly rest, tho sacred rights of Christian soldiers and sailors, a becoming deference to tho best sentiment cPE a Christian Chris-tian people, and a due regard for the divine will, demand that Sunday Sun-day labor in the army and navy be reduced to the measure of strict necessity. Such an observance of Sunday is dictated by the best traditions of our people and by the convictions of all who look to divine providenco for guidance and protection; and, in repeating in this order the language lan-guage of President Lincoln, the president is confident that he is speaking alike to hearts and conscience con-science of those under his authority.
