Division Publicity Office, 90th Divis-
ion, U. S. N. A., Canip Travis, Texas,
March 23.—"There will be no lost
motion at Camp Travis. Every move-
ment made by every soldier of this
command must be made with a dis- I
tinct, purpose." This is the opinion o.
Major General Henry T. Allen, com-
manding the Ninetieth Division, Na- |
tional Army, who has recently return-
ed from a careful inspection of the (
English, French and American troops I
the war zone of France.
The absolute necessity for a coordi-
nation of physical activity with men-
tal activity is apparent to those who
have seen service or have visited the
fronts in Europe, according to Gen-
eral Allen. With this end in view,
the soldiers of Camp Travis are to be
given a thorough course of training of
such nature that will call into play,
not only the muscles of the body, but
the muscles of the brain.
The success of the allies in a great j
measure can be attributed to the fact
that the average soldier of the allied |
armies is a clearer thinker, and a more i
concise thinker, than is the German |
soldier. The German soldier is often |
driven, while the soldiers of the al- j
lied forces are led into combat. With- ,
out their officers, it has been shown j
that the German forces break down. |
This is not true in the allied forces ^
where non-commissioned officers and ,
even men without rank have stepped i
into the breach at the proper time and .
lead their respective units to victory j
cr safety.
It is the development of men in the i
ranks who are capable of leading when
the occasion demands that General
Allen is intending. Nor can the men
themselves be choosers of the time ,
or place. For this reason it is neces- j
sary that every soldier be able to j
think and act, that he know and under-
stand clearly what should be done and
d ics it. In order that minds may be
kept continually active, the plan is in :
o eration whereby officers and men j
alike must think when they act.
An example of the coordination |
necessary for precise military salu- ;
tations demonstrates the point. Where j
officers and men might previously sa- j
loot with an almost nonchalant wave j
of the hand, is substituted a style of j
saluting which require- heads to be |
turned toward the parties saluted |
and the eyes looking directly into
those of the person saluted. It re- j
HUires four movements to complete
the salute. These four movements
may not be altogether necessary for
compliance with the former drill reg-
ulations on the subject, but they serve
to do more. No'man can salute and
salute properly at Camp Travis with-
out knowing and without thinking
just what he is doing. Many times a
day salutes are made and returned
and every time a stimulus is of neces-
sity sent through the brain.
Aside from this training of mind
