He Asked for Troops"

General Funston has asked the War
in connection with the pursuit OF villa
and his gang. The War Department
has granted his request.
1t is worth noting that General
Funston asked for troops. He didn't
ask for hay" men. He didn't ask for
raw recruits. He didn't ask for a
campaign to secure volunteers. He
didn't ask for statistics.
He asked for troops. because he had
something important to do. and the
only thing to do it with effectively is
troops. He asked for troops because
a situation has arisen which requires
prompt and decisive action. He asked
for troops because purely statistical
military resources aren't sufficient to
catch a single Mexican lurking in the
mesquite-to say nothing of band of
them.
Some day when the problem may be
infinitely larger than the comparative
ly small one presented by villa and
his gang-when the nation has for an
enemy something more formidable
than even well-armed band of Mexi-
cans. there may come-there is sure
to come-just this same call for troops
which Funston sent to Washington.
And If the country hasn't troops.
real troops. to send instead Of hay"
men and other substitutes for effective
soldiers SO dear to the hearts of the
advocates of unpreparedness the next
message is certain to be one of shame,
humiliation and Disaster Chicago
