Americas Cause for War

The military masters of Germany
denied us the right to be neutral.
They filled our communities with
vicious spies and conspirators. They
sought to corrupt our citizens. They
sought by violence to destroy OuI
industries and arrest our commerce
They tried to incite Mexico to taHe
up arms against US and to draw ia
pan into hostile alliance with her
They impudently denied us the use
of the high seas and repeatedly exc
cuted their threat that they would
send to their death any of our people
who ventured to approach the coasts
of Europe.
This flag under which we serve
would have been diShonored had we
withheld our hand. Woodrow Will
son. President of the United States.

{ Lesson ,.
Making Good as Il Soldier.


The National Army. in which you
are TO take your place, truly expresses
the American character ana Ideals. 1t
includes men of all degrees of wealth
and education, chosen through talr
and open selection by lot All are
brought together on terms OF equall-
ty. There has been and there Will
be in this great National Army no
favoritism and no pull. The poor
man will drill side by side with the
man who has been raised III luxury,
Each will learn from the other. The
place each man makes for himself
will be determined by his own work
and ability.
Developing SoIdierIy Qualities.
The question as to whether II Is
better to join the colors now or with
a later contingent is not worth argu-
ing, since the decision has been made
for each man by lot. An ambitious
man, however, will be glad to join
now. 1t gives him better chance
for promotion. The commissioned
officers of the first contingent are
picked men who have voluntarily
gone through the hardest kind OF
training. The officers OF later con-
tingents will be drawn largely from
the men enlisted in the first contin-
gents There is plenty of opportuni-
ty here for every man to use his
brains and his energy and to earn
promotion according to his worth.
This does not mean easy or quick adj
yancement. 1t means only that you
will have your fair chance-and you
would ask for nothing more-to de
velop yourself and to climb upward
step by step.
In order to make good in the Ma
tional Army you must, first of all, fit
yourself to carry with credit the sim
pie title of American Citizen-Soldier
one of the proudest titles in the
world. This means that you must
develop in yourself the qualities OF
a soldier. The more quickly and
thoroughly you cultivate them, the
greater will be your satisfaction and
success.
There is very little real difference
of opinion as to soldierly qualities.
They have been determined by ages
Of experience. Weapons cnange, bul
the soldiers who handle the weapons
remain much the same.
Three Basic Qualities.
There are three basic qualities
without which no man can be a real
soldier even, though he may tempo
rarily wear uniform. They are:
Loyalty.

Going a step farther loyalty gov

actions toward his own rgiment, his
own company and his own squad.
Without this form of loyalty there
can be nc real comradeship; with
out it YOU will never feel that per
sonai pride and satisfaction in the
service which should mean so much
IN your army rIe.
Obedience.
The second of the soldiers basic
qualities is obedience, based on dis
cipiine. Without obedience and dis
cipline an army can not long con-
tinue to exist; it Will "uickly degen-
crate into an armed mob. AS the
Infantry Drill Regulations put it, dis
cipline is the distinguishing mark o.
trained troops.
Frequently the recruit, with his in
born dislike of being bossed. makes

: weeks in the army of resenting the
fact that Immediate and unqueStlon-
ing obedience is required OF him. He
quickly learns, however, that obedl-
ence enforced throughout the army
is in all situations the chief safeguard
of the rights, the comfort and the
safety of every man, from the raw
recruit to the commanding general.
1t is a guarantee that the small num-
Der OF unruly or cowardly men to be
found in every group shall be kept in

rules made for the benefit of all.

will become your duty, whenever
you are given authority over other
men, to demand from them the same
full measure of obedience that 9th
ers will require of you.
! Discipline is not only essential in
developing the army. but also in de
veloping your own character as d
soldier. The soldier who is by ma
ture brave. will by discipline become
