Five hundred footballs have just been sent abroad by the Athletic Association for our troops when resting from military work. The English soldiers have been known to go into action kicking a soccer ball; Pershing may now desire to follow their example.

Perhaps more to the point is the case of the French army, whose definite casualties (included killed, prisoners and missing) were reduced to only 1.28 per cent, in the last half of 1916. It is safe to assume that the American Army will make use of the experience of the French...
