NOT INCLINED TO ARMY LIFE
The more American military leaders talk about mili
tary preparedness the more it becomes apparent that this
nation is not inclined toward militarism.
Instruction camps for business men proved a drawing
card and thousands spent a short time last summer, learn
ing the difference between “a bayonet" and “about
face." Similar instruction in the navy department is now
being contemplated and will undoubtedly be equally popu
lar. The reason for this is plain, for the average Ameri
can is always looking for something new to occupy ins
mind and a dip into military or naval life presents an op
portunity. But when it comes to the routine ot continued
military discipline—not much.
The National guard went down to the border and be
cause the only service asked was to emulate those “who
only stand and wait," a life sized howl went up. This
howl has grown into a general threat to disrupt the Na
tional guard.
French or German or Russian or Japanese regiments
called out for similar duty would have at once settled
down to camp and patrol duties and stuck right there
till they were grey headed, and protests would be excep
tional, but not an American. In time of real danger every
man in this* country with red blood in his bodv would
spring to the defence of the United States. I here would
he a protest over the slaughetr of thousands while tne
survivors were learning how to light, but to give up a
couple of years to army life, or even one night a week to
rigid militia discipline to prevent this slaughter—well it
just isn’t done, that’s all.
SOMETHING IN RESERVE
All the world seems of the opinion that President
Wilson has the aee up his sleeve, in regard to this world
peace proposition, otherwise he would not have risked be
ing branded an impractical dreamer.
Wilson says that he is convinced that the peoples ol
the world want peace. In this he is ably seconded by the
Central powers, but to judge by outward expression the
Entente nations have just commenced to light.
The ace which our chief executive is supposed to have
neatlv hidden somewhere twixt wrist and elbow is an
%
authorization by the allies to go ahead and bring about a
peace in such a wav as to relieve them ot any apparent
desire to quit.
With German U boats busy and raiders after allied
commerce in several of the seven seas, England s present
iot is not a merry one, and the continental nations of
Europe have fought themselves almost to a standstill on
both sides.
What the year may bring forth no one knows, but it
is fraught with wild possibilities, one of which is that a
league of nations may be found to enforce peace.
