UNCLE SAM AND His SOLDIERS.

And now it develops that there are
other difficulties connected with mil
lions OF citizen soldiers springing to
arms when the nation is in danger.
1t is highly significant but by no
means creditable commentary on the
policies OF Uncle Sam that hundreds
OF national guardsmen who were call
ed to the border left dependent fami-
lies behind. without any provision for
their support
Mr. Shepherd, the United Press cor
respondent. who has been on the bat
tIefronts in Europe for nearly two
years. tells us that no nation across
the water has been as negligent Of the
welfare OF the soldiers families as we
have been. It is not because Uncle
Sam is cruel but because he has never
given much attention to military af-
fairs and has seldom been compelled
to face the problems presented by
sending large bodies Of men away from
home to serve their country.
Herein is another argument for pre-
paredness, that should not be ever
looked. Try as hard as we may, there
is no assurance that our nation will
not be driven to take up arms. Only
by close scratch did we escape a
conflict with Mexico following the Car
rial incident If Carranza had not
met the demands Of our government.
willingly or unwillingly, we would
have been compelled to fight. The
cost OF going to war without being
prepared for it is bound to be more
frightful, measured in money or hui
man lives, than it is when a nation Is

tion.
we have seen how long it takes to
get our citizen soldiers ready for ser.
vice in the field. and after weeks de-
voted to mobilization, drilling and col.
leeting necessary supplies and equip
ment, we stiIl find that we have over
looked one Of the most important parts
OF the business, the care Of tie sol
diers' families. If our Mexican trou-
bles have served no other purpose they
should have opened the eyes Of the ma
ton to the necessity for sensible pre-.
