DURING the year ended June 80 there
were 6523 desertiOns from the enlisted
force of the army, which is 6.S per cent.
of the whole number, as compared with
an average of 4.5 per cent. for the ten
years ending 1904. Speaking of this
evident increase in deserticns, General
Ainsworth, the military secretary of the
army, said that the only real rene iy is
for the public to socially ostracize the
deserter and treat him as criminal.
Some of the reasons given for the in-
crease are the abolition of the canteen,
the mOnotOny of garrison life, the
greater amount of study and work re-
quired and tie ability to obtain good
employment in civil life, but General
AinswOr;h believes that the principal
cause is that Americans are not a mill.
tary people" The actual strength Of
the military establishment on June 30
was 8, 934 officers and 60, OPP men. If
Gen. Ainsworth's real remedy is the only
one adopted to prevelt desertiOD, then
assertions will increase rather than di-
minish. Why there are many real
criminals all over the country who are
not now ostracized, while there are thou
sands who should be behind bars but
who are held as good fellows" in every
community IN which they live

New York, Nov. "a. IL a. IN. The
