81 can think of no greater induce
ment which could be offered to men
to enter the army than the thought
that some day they might be detailed
in Washington as a guard of honor to
the president of the republic" said
Colonel McElroy. 1T would be a
splendid idea. Many Of the nations
of Europe have such a plan, and 1t
always has worked admirably This
is work for retired soldiers who
have not outlived their usefulness
which should be advocated by all pat
riotic persons. 1t would be excellent
to have men in soldier uniform guard
ing both the inside and the outside OF
the executive mansion.
With the continued growth of the
city, it is said, all policemen will have
to be recalled from detail work, or
the force will have to be increased.
Should the military guard be estab-
lished, they argue. the country would
not be put to any additional expense.

White House would add to the dignity
of the place, and the Washington po'

THE question of a military guard for
j the White House Is occasioning
much discussion, both among people
who think soldiers should be detailed
there and among others who oppose
that plan. Adherents to the plan for
military guard had to combat the
objection of others that this would
be undemocratic. but they pointed out
that the president of practically every
republic in the world Is guarded
against danger by soldiers. 1t would
not be necessary to have such large
force of soldiery as to lend too much
of a military air to the White House.
It was pointed out. Col. John McEl'
roy, a prominent G. A. r. man, pro
posed that the presidents guard be
selected from among honorably dis
charged soldiers. Such plan, ne
said. not only would lend proper dig
nifty to the White House, but would
tend to provide rewards for men who
