Army World War I era roundup of welfare, training, and politics
A long, jumbled wartime column covers Welfare Enlisted Men Appropriation Fund use for post exchanges and morale goods, new training programs including correspondence courses, and shrinking restrictions. It notes pilots, mechanics, and dock workers forming battalions, emphasizes centralized motor transport, attendance of Army life, and a mix of humorous anecdotes alongside military development and public notices. It mentions Cuba, Hawaii, and various individuals, plus a digressive reflection on naval salaries and traditions.
