The Volunteer Soldier,
From the New York World.


The testimony of Harold J. Tenant
British under secretary for war, that
the voluntary system of recruiting
armies has .triumphantly stood the
ordeal should please American read
ers. The Confederacy was put down
by volunteers. Their organization
training and conduct in the field were
successful and satisfactory The draft
was not. 1t caused dangerous riots in
New York and diverted military force
from the war to suppress them, but in
bringing worthwhile recruits in num-
berS to the army it was a fiat failure
New conditions in warfare seem not
to have altered the basic fact. For IL
nation which blue water and a modern
navy protect from too sudden blow,
patriotism is still the trustworthy de-
Tense. The British terrtorials have
doubled in number and gone to the
war, their places taken by older terri
torials. The new armies have been
created and are ready for the field: in
part are on the field, as Neuve Cha
pelle showed. Great Britain and the
United States are the two great ma
tons that have not followed continent
tai Europe in withdrawing their young
manhood from production in time Of
peace for military training. Neither
lacks willing defenders in time Of need.
