ARMY pEsERrroNs.

Is there anything connected with
army life in the United states that
| makes 1t more undesirable and dis
agreeable than formerly? If so. what
is 1t. and what Is the remedy? We
are continually reading Of the i'm
provements being made In practically
every branch and detail of our mill
tary affairs to make the life OF the
soldier more comfortable and pleas
ant. and to induce the youth of the
country to enlist and serve in some
branch of the service. but in spite of
all this we are also being assured that
assertions from the army are contin-
ually on the increase. and that the
problem OF keeping the ranks filled
with good men has become serious
one.
There may be several reason why
such conditions exist. Young men.
often mere boys. sometimes enlist to
crafty some within or spite. and when
they have time to reflect they repent
their hasty action and wish to get out
of the service. other youths join the
army under the mistaken idea that 1t
is life Of ease and enjoyment. where
they can wear uniforms. listen to the
band and march or go on review the
envy of all observers. These also
soon find their dreams dispelled. They
soon learn that "all is not beer and
skittles." even in time of peace, and
that there are many positions and oc-
equations in life much more enjoya-
BILE than soldering. This knowledge
of the realities of army life takes
away all the romance, and in many
cases IL the disguised private cannot
get discharge he takes 1t for him
seif-becomes deserter, in fact. and
thus disgraces his uniform.
There Is much that is disagreeable
in the life of the soldier. even in time
of peace There are dfsagreeable du-
ties to perform at times, hardships
and privations to undergo, and some
times actual want and suffering. At
the same time there is much OF idle
ness and humdrum which may ia time
become unbearabIe to an active man.
and this. also. may lead some to de-
sert. But whatever the cause or
causes may be, the reports continually
made show that assertions are not
only frequent but that they are regu-
lariy increasing. Perhaps lively lit
tie war might put snap and ginger In
to the life of the soldiers and cause
them to stand by their colors with
more devotion than they are doing.

THEY HAVE DEPARTED.

veterans for the splendid weather that
prevailed in Montgomery while the
reunion was with us. At one time

plans for making everything pleasant
for the visitors would be msrred, but
the clouds passed away. the sun shone
brightly and all nature smiled a well
come to the gray heroes of a past
epoch in American history. The keen
November air was not severe enough
to cause serious discomfort, and
taking 1t all in all. one could hardly
have mapped out a more favorable
condition.
And we are sure the "old boys" had
good time and enjoyed it. and that
they are glad they came. With such
crowd it would be strange If there
had not been some inconvenience or
discomfort, but if there was anything
really out of the way we are not
aware of it. and we are sure the vet
Grams will feel nothing but satlsfac-
ton over their visit to the Cradle of
the Confederacy. To some of them
the coming was little less than a
hardship. Age, with its weakening
effects has laid its ruthless hand on
most of them and rendered them less
capable and less inclined to go away
more meeting with old comrades.
Possibly there were some of them to
whom poverty has added it's burden,
and made it hard for them to come,
but let us sincerely hope that they
found themselves amply repaid for
any Inconvenience they may have
been forced to endure. and that they
will look back only with satisfaction
to the brief time spent In our city.
While the crowd of veterans was
not as large as had been anticipated
the reunion was an enjoyable one.
There were enough OF them. and they
so represented all parts of the state,
that they presented a fire spectacle,
and for two days the old city was
theirs. We do not know when Mont
gomery will have them again. Some
of them, in the course OF nature, Will
never attend another reunion. They
