DEFENns ~ CnNscRIPr-

defends THE CONsCRIFT.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
Now that recruiting week is over
and, according to figures appearing in
The Herald Saturday, the big drive"
for 10000 recruits has resulted in OBJ
tanning some 10000. 7 would like 70
make a few remarks I'm connection
with some OF the depIorable methods
and arguments that have made their
appearance in the very Commendable
movement TO recruit the army 10 war
strength.
Some ten days ago The Herald
quoted Lieut. Col H =. Stevenson as
saying that the consCripts would be
looked upon with contempt by the
regular army. and that when they
were drafted they would stand stir
and not have the same opportunities
for advancement as the volunteers
Saturday The Herald printed a COM
municatiCn from "A Field Artillery
/ Sergeant" breathing contempt OF the
men who are TO be drafted.
These derogatory remarks and ard-
cles ought TO be stopped. Those men
who have volunteered for service de-
serve all honor and respect, but Il Is
a grave error to cast reflection upon
the ten millions OF men who regis
tered. because they do not come for
ward and volunteer. because brow
beating and trying to bully them will

good.
/ The regular army and the national
guard can, OF course, be considered
ras representative OF the nation, but
I venture to say that the armies that
viii be created by the draft viii be
more representative OF America. be-
cause these men viii come from every
walk Of American life. and to slur
them Is to slur the very heart Of this
nation.
In the civil war the south early
adopted cOnscription. and IL 3 no
where OF record that Grant, Meade
Lincoln. Lee. Johnston. or Davis held
the southern conscripts in contempt.
1t was cOnscription that finally en-
abled the north 70 overWhelm the
south. The fact Is that the ordinary
man is by no means a coward: he may
not like to go to war, but if forced
to he usually proves that he is a man
and fit to stand and fight with his
brothers on equal terms. I registered
on June 8, but. principally because Of
obligations resting upon me, I have
not volunteered; however, I did not
claim exemption, and when my coun-
try, by means OF the draft, calls me
by name and says 7 want you" I
shall willingly 60 and II need be give
up my life in response to that call
Of duty. And I believe that my case
is typical Of a great many other
young men,
