Army DESERTIONS!
DURING LAST FISCAL Year 6533
Quite THE SERVICE.
Major General Ainsworth in His An.
nuaI Report Devoted Much Atten.
ton to the Subjeet-canteen Not
Likely to Be Restored-Easy and
Luxurious Life Of Soldiers Criticized.

Major General +. c. Ainsworth, the
military secretary, in his annual re-
port, devoted much attention to de-
sertions from the army. Those who
know how the canteen came to be
abolished, he states, are not hopeful
Of its restoration; there Is no likeli-
hood of any such increase in the SOL
diers' pay as will offset the greater ill.,
ducement offered in civil pursuits; the
comforts and even luxuries that are
furnished men in our service are even
now criticized by some as being not
only eXtravagant, but injurious in their
effect on men whose real business it
is to march and fight, encountered
with few comforts and no Injuries;
and the discipline and instruction to
which the soldier is now subjected are
not likely to be relaxed in the future.
He continues:
Our people have little real interest
in the army in time of peace and from
Inc earliest days of the republic have
been accustomed to look upon it as a
more OF less unnecessary institution.
Enlistment in the army in time of
peace is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence of worthlessness on the part
of the recruit.
1t is safe to predict that assertions
from the army will continue to be ex-
cessive until there SHAH have been
radical change of public sentiment
toward the army and until the de-
e,f,.tor oh tn, ho raI a G
the criminal that he is, to be ostra-
ciZed and hunted down as relentlessly
as any other transgressor of the laws.
There is no reason to look for such a
change of sentiment in the near fut-
ure, and there are some who believe
that the change will never come until
our people shall have learned, through
national disaster and humiliation that
the effective maintenance of an army
of professional soldiers is absolutely
essential to the preservation Of the ma
tional honor and life, and that the
trained and disciplined troops of a
modern enemy can not be withstood by
| hastily organized armies of unframed
or half trained civilians.
! The losses in the regular army dur
ing the fiscal year were: officers kill
ed in action or died of wounds, disease,
etc., "a resigned or discharged, 20;
dismissed, 13; deserted, 3; retired, So;
total, 119.
Enlisted men killed in action or died
of wounds, disease, ETC., 377; dis
charged upon expiration of term of
service, 22,254 discharged for disa-
bility by sentence of court martial and
by order, $780, deserted, 6533; retired,
1889; total, 1881.
During the year 274 battle flags in
custody of the war department were
returned to the governors of the states
in which the regiments that bore them
were raised. He says there still re-
main here 452 of these flags.
General Ainsworth recommends that
these union flags be transferred to the
United States Military academy, and
that the confederate flags be given to
some general confederate memorial or
historical association.
