Secretary Daniels and the Soldiers

The Purity Congress, met at Louisville, Kentucky, Nov. 8,

for the tenth season. Among the number of messages read at

the session that evening, was one from Secretary of the Navy,

Daniels, as follows.

"Today, as never before, American manhood must be clean.

We must have fitness. America stands in need of every ounce of

strength. We must cut the twin cancers of drink and prostitu-

tion, if we would quickly win this war. May America fear

moral disease more than German bullets! Those who do the

most for clean living and clean thinking, do the most for victory

that will make a better world."
