How about the morals Of the men?"
They Don reach the point where
they have no moral sense at all. There
Is a great deal of drinking done, both
by officers and men. In fact. you will
rarely see an officer Of the army on q
frontier post who does not bcar upon
his c~ountcnancc the marks of more OF
less deep dissipation. II is unfortunate,
but il is true. I know that the same
condition prevails aboard ship. where
the officers and ommon sailors have as
monotonous n time as we have at the
post, save that they occasionally run
into port and get liberty togo ashore.
When men are confined, without So
cicty of interest, they unfortunately
fall n the habit of drinking. and
that usually leads to habitual drinking.
The private soldiers, and the common
sailors, are saved by their poverty.
They cannot afford &c drink rs much
as they would like to. But they are
intensely profane. and ~obsccnity in
