answer that there are some soldiers who
are constantly violating military and
social regulations, but who fight like
tigers when called into action. That
may be true. but these instances are
rather rare. and the bully Is usually
coward. The worthless citizen is gen.
orally no more than what soldiers call
cannon fodder
There Is no doubt that much Of the
discomfort In the army is due to the
want OF continued labor, the isolation
from populous centers. and the too
close companionship OF the men. In
times OF peace, there is no reason why
soldiers should not be kept at active
employment for a part OF each day In
some industry which would fit them
for self-support outside OF the army.
This would make better soldiers, more
contented men. and when they chose to
enter civil life. they would remain
available as a reserve from which to
draw. Under such a tenure of service
many more men. and Of better class,
would enter the army for the expert
ence and the honor It would afford;
