Because the United States has been

| thrall OF 'miitarism." The cry will be
| raised that we are travelling the same
road as the great military powers of
| the old world, and that as in Germany
every peasant carries a soldier on his
back, so the American civilian will
| soon have To sta9ger under a military
burden. Such lessons" drawn from
| the mobilization are inspired not by
knowledge but ny ignorance of our
condition, for while we as a people are
Of military personalities we are 81 far
| from being military that our ability to
muster twenty thousand regular sol
| diers at any given point in the United
States is news 10 the average Amcri-
can whose lot has rot carried him
near one of tho great posts in the west
or southwest. The spectacle of trans
portation of troops, and the other
| spectacle OF ten thousand or fifteen
thousand soldiers in camp, moves the
popular interest to an extent that
would be impossible if militarism had
touched our national life.
