Harder to Live Than Die for

Yankee ingenuity Is a most unfort-

Barnett, commandant Of the Marine
Corps. at the opening Of the second
woman's Training Camp at Chevy Chase
yesterday afternoon.
1T IS responsible for the absurd be-
lief that the million men who, we are
told, would rush to the colors in case of
war, would be an adequate army. The
larger the unframed army the more use
less It is, because it then becomes only
an armed mob"
It IS time, he said. that the children in
the schools were taught the rights Of
American history and not that one
American was the equal Of three Eng
Ishmen or four Spaniards because he
possessed american ingenuity" In
fact, Gen Barnett seemed to have some
doubt about the superiority Of the
average American.
Nine out Of every tep applicants for
admission to the Marine Corps, he said,
were rejected because they were physical
Iy unfit. and he advocated the encourage
ment of physical training through
athletics and camps. such as the present
one. He also had his audience decidedly
with him when he said that although
mother didn't raise her boy to be
soldier, ne WOuLQn give IIe snap Ol
his finger for one who wouldn't kick her
son out Of the house II he did not go
when he was needed by his country.
