of these ornaments, worn so jauntiiy by the cavaliers" in the picturee
 Only for short time-untiI they are caught at it. The only insignia of a private is his privacy and ab sence of insignia
 Are camp stools a par. of a pri yate's accouterments?
 Oh. no They are used only at om cers quarters and a private may not sit in the presence of sn officer He stands-m'ark the word-stands at attention
 Do priyates carry field glasses?
 Ony as a smart collie earires his masters parcels.
 Are these posters which are com plained of representative of a pri vate's life in the army Evidently the gentleman on tho left has never served in the army lil he belongs to the cavalry branch of the service. he is valet to his horse when he is not valet 70 his superior officer. In the navy he is the scrub woman or swab hand. Tn the infantry. he does everything bat the things that he is shown to be doing in the posters. He may be assiened to the kitchen to peel potatoes or 'spuds. to wash the dishes. or he may be assigned to the supermenial task of cleaning the toilets This he is allowed to do only when he is good Then. who are these happy people who sit astride fine horses. as per picture?
 They are officers. Wes, Point grad uates Few officers have ever fought lup as high as horses unless they were graduates of the army school. Is the poster an appeal for men to enter West Point?
 West Pointers are appointed: they do not join"
 Do you mean to insinuate that
 Uncle Sam imposes on the pa triotism of the youth of America. by wilfully and knowingly picturing a life that does not exist?
 There is a business here of an embarrassing situation. Rather a serious charge to bring against your uncle, isn't it? But the question is insistent- If it is true it consti tutes a grave indictmen: of the original grand old man." There is one man who is courageous enough to accuse. He is Judge Kenesaw [ Mountain Landis. he who fell on Standard oil.
 | Recently a youth of 22 years was arraigned before him on the charge of deserting the army. In cases oi this kind it sometimes comes 70 the knowledge of the court that the of fender has a mother back home. It did in this. She was a mother such as Rome boasted.

I will pray for you every night as l always have done and I will pray that you will come home to us and be true to yourself and your country"
 ' For moment after reading .he letter Judge Landis wiped his glasses and gazed absently out over the court room and toward a far corner where a bust of Abraham Lincoln stands on its pedestal.

 commenting on the bunco game by which Uncle sam makes the army look like the seventh heaven to me raw recruit, Judge Landis says:

And. when that has been accomplished, he is going to be dis satisfied If dissatisfied men make good soldiers the recruiting of1eers' advertising policy may be nearer right than think. although there still is involved the moral issue oi misrepresentation. Bus I do not Inc iieve such men do make good so, diers, and I do not believe tha present system of enlisting men can live much longer. There is too much
