YOUR army a big, strong. useful army.
you've got to make II far more atrac-
tive to us young men,"
Such is the chorus OF the year
5000 deserters from the service.
II is also the moral taught by all
recent facts and figures.
II the United States army Ii TO be
built up into the powerful force we
need, life In the army must be made
a vacation by comparison TO the drudg-
DRY OF civilian life. The men must be
treated as human beings. and penal
punishment for purely military
offenses must be abolished. But, more
than that, educational and social ad-
yantages must be added; useful oc-
equations must DE provided; the men
must be given more opportunity OF
getting out OF the service IL II proves
too distasteful to them.
At present the army Is way below
its authoritized strength. and that
strength" is not much more than I'M
disguised weakness.
Every government Official Of respon-
sibility, from Secretary OF War Gar.
rison down, has recently pointed out
that the present army Is wholly made
Quate.
To remedy this almost laughable
feebleness OF our army. Secretary Gar.
rison demands two immediate steps.
The first Is raising the army TO its
full war strength" by filing out the
skeleton companies, batteries and reg
iments. This will require the imme-
date enlistment OF at least $4,000
men.
The second necessary step Is the
provision Of a big reserve
Since compulsory service would
never be tolerated by Americans. this
would be accomplished by volunteer
enlistment, with shorter active service
and much longer reserve service.
With this in view, Secretary Garri-

the remainder on 10 the brewer. The

which he apportions certain amount

tolling the benefits derived from
drinking beer is placed in the daily

thus secures an introduction TO the
members OF that family.
Advertising is purchased that new
business may be secured. Brothers

intoxicating beverage. No Badfellow,

Perhaps we are narrow, but Il all
seems so strangely Inconsistent. Every
Detroit newspaper with the excep-
tion of the Times and Saturday Night,
carries liquor advertising. Thank
God for the men and women OF the
farms, who have the courage Of their
convictions, and will not permit
farm paper in their homes which car

city "Goodfellows" will look for cause

be found to be strangely connected.
