attack is to be made upon one much

the fat man. 'West Point graduates
who tend to obesity are not to be as
signed to the cavalry branch hence

seems only fair to assume that this is
the entering wedge and that in the near
future not only fat men but those who
tend to obesity will be denied admis-
sion to the army at all. 1t then fol-
lows as a matter of course that the fat
one will eventually be barred from
public service of any kind. This may
be all very well from the standpoint Of
Inspector General Barton who Is res
pOnsible for the new order, but what
are the fat men going to do about it?
Is it to be assumed that the flame of
patriotism burns the less brightly in a
soul contained within a body gener-
ously supplied with adipose tissue?
Perish the thought! General Shafter is
understood to have won the battle Of
Santiago and he was none of Iour

man has his rights and the war de-
partment has started on the wrong
tack. Instead Of eliminating the fat
men from the cavalry, the department
ought to try increasing the carrying
power of the horses.

ship. Five wears have / remained in

American flag flown at the masthead Of
