AMERICAN ARMY.
Its Ups and Downs From the Days of
the Revolution.
UndianaDOlis NeWs)

indianapolis NeWS) =,
The American army of the revolu-
tionary war period consisted of two
elements-the continental army, or
ganized by congress, and the militia,
organized by the states. Although
during the years from 1775 to 1881 the
total strength averaged about 10000,
there We're often not more than half
that number in the field. At the end of
the war the regular army was dis
banded and was not increased until
the war of 1872. During part of that
war the number of regular troops ex-
ceeded 10000 and the militia number
ed 100000 During the next 30 years
the regular army averaged only 9OOg
men. During the Mexican war about
$1,000 regular troops and $4,000 volun-
teers were enrolled. During the first
year of the civil war the number of
the regular army rose to $4,000. Lin
coins first call for volunteers. April
Is, 1861, was for $4,000 men for three
months AT the beginning of 1862 the
number of volunteers in the field was
about $4,000. During the next three
years 1t was about 100000 At the
close of the war the Union army num-
bered 100000 men. The total num-
Der of troops furnished first and last
was 2,S50OO0 men.

Railroad Man Says Slackers Get
Too Much Publicity

in his estimate of the sentiments and
purposes of 99 out of every 1000 in
habitants of the United States who
have achieved years of discretion:
"To the Editor of The Sun--Sir: So
much has been published about slack
ers and persons of both sexes who are
opposing the selective draft that near
" all attention has been withdrawn
from the majority of men who are
making personal sacrifices and who
willingly do so to help their govern

Don't you. believe there are hun
dreds of thousands Of men over 81 who
regret that they can not go to war?
And don't you know that there are
thousands who are so or 60 or even
older who would willingly go to the
front without a whimper and whose
greatest regret is that they are too
old?
Most men are loyal, good true cti-
zens, but the trouble is we hear more
about the other kind. 1t is depressing
and discouraging until we discover by
ordinary reasoning that there is com
paratively little real treason, Stacking
and cowardice among American citi-
zens.

bringing an intelligent discipline to
the ordering of it's movements, re-
straining the tendency to consume en-
ergy in merely emotional activities
and conserving it's strength for the
hard labors it must perform, is going

just themselves in good temper to con-

rendered without complaint; he sees
individual rights curbed by voluntary
acts of their possessors in the interest
of the common good and he sees no
every side men and women prepared
to make the sacrifice of life itself in
no frenzy of enthusiasm, but in the
calm decision of patriotic reasoning.
Never has America so encouraged
the believers in democracy as she does
today. Never has the public will been
more worthily expressed. Never have
high ideals elected a more gratifying
response from men and women than
in the United States today; and never
has the dissentient majority been
fewer in numbers or as contemplate

challenge autocracy and offer ourselves

THE WAR

Another week has passed and the great
conflict is still being waged without material
gains on either side, unless we count the
operations of the Italians.
The fight of the German submarine fer
control of the seas seems undetermined.
The record of losses for the week is about
normal and no practical solution for it's re-
str1ctlon has yet been announced.
There is growing belief that the allies
will be called upon to resist a powerful
German offensive in France within the next
few weeks. This issue is clouded in doubt
due to the enormous increase of the German
forces on the French front and to which
condition must also be considered the fact
that the allies have already mustered their
full strength and are hot capable of increas-
ing their armies to meet the more important
offensive.
DISCRIMINATION in Russia now seems
complete. The government is in the hands
OF the ignorant peasants, soldiers and labor
unions and hope of assistance from this
source is about at ali end.
The western continent has been united
against Germany as is evidenced by the act
OF Brazil, the leading South American re-
public, which has joined forces with the
United States. Other Latin republics will
follow her lead.
There is nothing in the whole situation
to give immediate satisfaction to the Ameri-
can people.

the government to foster and increase food
production.
We had reason to expect, after the de-
feat of the tax proposed on cotton, that
Louisiana would escape further attempts to
penalize her principal industries, but unless
the measure is finally defeated in the house
we will have a fair sample of legislative
discrimination.
. No one can complain if the government
finds it necessary to tax every business, but
we are at a loss to know why sugar should
be singled out as the only product that
should stand this burden. The solution is
found, perhaps, in the fact that it offers an
easy mark and that it has, relatively, few
interested friends in the senate.

EXCISE TAX ON SUGAR

The latest development in the war reye-
nue. bill is the Senate's proposal to place an
excise tax on tea, sugar, and coffee. The
measure is of particular interest to Louisi-
lana inasmuch as the measure provides for
aconsumers tax amounting to one-half a
cent pound on this commodity. With the
present tariff it is estimated that it will re-
duce the protection on sugar to about one
half.
Sugar producers will feel seriously the

isccurage the industry in this state. This
