I how the Wilson j Administration Has Penalized Patriotism “Having in view the possibility »! further aggression upon the territory of the United States from Mexico and the necessity for the proper protec tion of that frontier," President Wil son, on June 18, called out the mobile arms of the National Guard for lederal service. He did not call them out at their existing peace strength, but at war strength, which Is practically doable, lacking a system of reserves, the National Guard organizations Immedi ately had to start a campaign of re cruiting, to bring about the desired In crease in their numbers. Patriotic young citizens, under the urge of the cry, "Your country needs you,” volunteered for service in grati fying numbers. According to Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate Committeo on Military Affairs, the re sult is that about 135,000 citizen sol diers have been mustered Into the federal service and are now on the Mexican border or In camp in their home states. There may be more, but the administration refuses to make known the exaet figures. The movement is costing the public treasury many millions of dollars; It Is costing the Individual citizen sol diers many millions more. They went to the front believing the cry. “Your country neods you.” for war service. They sacrificed advancement In their civil occupations, severed home ties, suffered. In thousands of Instances, great financial loss. The less pa. trlotlc. who did not believe the cry, or believing, declined to make sacrifices, fatten at home on these losses. The real purposes of the call are slowly developing. They are two in number: mrsi, a patrol of the harder to do the work which President Wilson’s friend, Carranza, finds It Impossible to do. Because the recognized govern ment In Mexico Is too Ineffective to keep Its own citizens In check and prevent them murdering Americans on American soil, the American gov ernment undertakes the costly task of doing that work for them. The mur der of American citizens on Mexican | soil is another matter. Carranza may go as far as he likes in that direction. Second, a purpose of the mobiliza tion on the border and in the camps Is to train citizens to perfortb effective military service. The regular military establishment of the nation is mani festly too sma" for the actual military needs. To this extent the cry. “Your country needs you.” was correct. But these facts were not made cleat when the call was Issued. The idea was promulgated that men were need ed for actual war service; not fat military training. Deceit was prac ticed. t Opposing In the open legislation fot universal military service, the admin lstratlon by Its acts has established what in essence Is a system of com pulsory military service. It Is a sys tem all the more vicious because 11 operates only against the patriotic whereas a legalized universal training system equalizes the burden of mill tarv service among all men and al' classes of men. Wien. In 1914. Europe plunged Intc the greatest war of all history, and conditions In Mexico grew Intolerable Intelligent men realized the fact that It was incumbent on this nation t< build up its tiny regular army and put Its other military resources lit condi tion for use. National safety demandod this. And yet. In December of that year, four months after the Edropeex war began. President Wilson went be fore Congress and declared that al! agitation for military preparedness was hysterical; that we were ade quataly prepart'd. After a while the administr&tior changed Its mind and professed t< believe in the necessity for prepared ; naas. First came an enactment tc | increase the regular anny by 20,000 But the body of the country’, and ever jail parts of the Democratic adminis ; tration. could not change front sc quickly as the head. Recruiting foi the regular army lagged. Not yet have the 20.000 been secured. The need pressed. A new national defense act. providing for still mori men In the regular army, was enacted But a till the meat were not forthcom tag. Suddenly and without warning tlu administration issued its call for mo bill ration of the citizen soldiery. Ii seemed still obsessed with the Bryar notion that an army could be created by presidential ukase. When the call went out the govern xncnt did not own enough uniforms shoes. socks, blankets, hats, wagons trucks, horses, mules and other things essential to equip the men called; 11 had made no provision for transport ing the troops called to the points where they were required. Who suffered most by tills am&z Ing lack of foresight this leaping b» fore looking? Only the 1S5.000 patriots who be l'oved that their country needed them for national defense; only the men who are making the great sacrifices. The whole disgraceful story may be summed up in the phrase, the administration has penalised patriot ism. True. K ts accumulating, by sub terfuge. a reserve of trained soldiers, but events have demonstrated that it cried -wolf when there was no wolf. Should it be forced to cry “wolf" again, when the wolf 1? at the door, what will be the result? FOR SALE. My eight room house. Good bam and outbuildings with twelve lots in cherry and plum trees.
