Members of the Fourth South Da-
kota infantry, in training at Charlotte,
S. c., and the First South Dakota cav
airy, at Deming, n. NJ, will receive
news from home, magazines, tobacco
and other things to break the mono
tony and loneliness in camp through
the efforts of the United States Army
Sisters of Cheer, an organization OF
South Dakota young women who have
pledged themselves to aid in making
the life OF the soldiers from their home
state as cheerful as possible. The or
ganization, which originally was form
ed in Sioux Falls and now has chap
ters in every county in the state which
has boys in the former South Dakota
national guard, resembles the Loyal
Girls of America. a Chicago ~organiza-
ton, in SO far as the object is con-
cerned. But the Sister of Cheer will
communicate only with home state
boys, while the Chicago organization
furnishes anne of men in the United
States army and navy to whom those
desiring can write.
Each member of the Sisters OF
Cheer society has been given the
name of some South Dakotan with one
of the two regiments, with whom she
will communicate and inquire as to
things at home in which he is inter
ested, the magazines he enjoys read
ing, if he smokes and the brand of
tobacco he prefers and with what por-
tally eager to keep in touch.
The members of the society are re.
quested to use good judgment in send
ing the soldier exactly what will
please him. The soldier whose name
has been given a member of the so
ciety is assigned to the member, dur
ing his service for his country, and
the members are requested to remem
Der that he may be gone for years and
not to shower him with gifts all al
once. 1t is the plan of the ~orgaIiza
ton to continue communicating with
the South Dakota soldiers when they
go to France; more so then thar
while in training in the United States
for they will be further away from
home with little chance of getting
those things they could obtain Will,
in camp in the United States.
The members of the organization
who hope to see the movement fost
cred by them spread to other states
are asked to send, aside from letters
tobacco or cigarets, such articles a
home made candy, tooth paste, tube o
cold cream or mehtholatum, a Shawn,

For Universe. Service.

i wish to see the principle or uni
versal obligatory military service es-
tablished in this country precisely be-
cause it is the only democratic prin.
ciple. We are in the war and we must
do the best we can with the instru-
ments that are at hand. Whether or
not I have disapproved Of the methods
adopted, when once they were adopted
I have Loyalty tried TO help them work.
But I emphatically protest against the
failure to make permanent provision
by preparedness in advance against
the occurrence of disaster to this
country, and the failure properly to
democratiZe u army.
What we need is the permanent
establishment in this country OF the
system of universal obligatory mill
tary training for all our young men,
and for making csscers out of the best
fitted among these young men, without
the slightest regard to whether they
or their fathers have money or do not
have money.
Under this as a permanent system,
every young man so trained-some-
time between the ages say of Is or 10
and 81 or 22-will spend one year with
the colors in the field. He would not
be allowed to vote until he had per-
formed this service, no matter where
he was born. The son Of the railway
president and the son Of the brake
man, the son of the banker and the
son of the b~ricklayer, the son of the
lawyer and the son OF the farmer will
all live on the same food. sleep in the
same tents, do the same work, go on
the same hikes. This would not only
help from the military standpoint. II
would also help to bring about in civil
affairs a realization of what is meant
by democracy and a chance for real
understanding Of n another by all
our citizens. It would mean the drill.
