THE AMERICAN
SOLDIER AND
THE GERMAN
Critic Claims Has Always Been En-
roaeous Opinion Regarding Sol
dieTs of Both Natioa2litlcs.

y local contemporary has much
praise for the German thoroushness
in the affairs of war, and then ii
expresses a doubt as to the maxi
mum efficiency Of the German soil
der on the ground that he has had
"all the independence and initiative
drilled out OF him"
Herein lies an error which is COM
non enough in America 1t has
long been the claim that The Ameri-
can soldier was an excellent fight
ing man, because OF his individual
Intelligence and independence.
Those making this claim have
overlooked the main scheme Of war

take every individual into the con-
idenco of the directors. Tho indi-
,idual soldier mast be taught i'm
glicitly to obey. ellis not to rea-
5on why; but to do or die.
Such a theory is antasonistie,
certainly to our democratic ideals
but the plain truth is that militor-
.sm and democracy are Numerically
opposed to each other. Democracy
means the development Of the in

he development of a body

We in America believe in men
ather than in kings; but so long as
we are willing TO consider men in
citation to a vast game of strategy,
we must admit that the soldier is
no longer for the time being, a
man. He is a little part in the
great machine Of destruction And
