se business of a soldier is to fig';ht when the opport unity
to him. Until that upportiity comn(s it is his business
pare to fight.
usideration of peace terms is for the Executive Branch of
overnment. It is possible that in the near future peace
ty be declared; but it is still certain that a long time will
pse before allied soldiers are withdrawn from the War Thea-
This is particularly true of American soldiers.
The Allies have fought for four years and lost millions of
n. America has fought for less than a year and a half and
lost thousands.
It is reasonable to believe that much of the work of occupa-
n will fall to American soldiers and that many of our troops
ill be sent over in future. Also, after this war there may still
other work for troops in this Department which will require
' best soldiers to do well. For these reasons there will be no
t-up in work, none in drill or in training that will fit our
'ops to do their part well in whatever they may he called upon
The above applies to all arms. but very particularly to tae
iry of this Department. The duty of every officer, non-
(c-m.issioned officer and private soldier to keep up his work
1 the best of his ability, and with unflagging energy is a real
Tne.
Every effort will be made to keep up the morale of the troops
d the interest of officers and men. The full drill and instruc-
on program will be carried out daily with proper relaxation
ne to influenza only. The earnest co-operation of all com-
ers is essential at this time.
