THE AMERICAN ARMY

In the view OF many thoughtful
American the greatest ultimate peril
to government by the people and for
the people" is not to be apprehended
from the Hohenzollen autocracy, but
from an American military autocracy.
Organized as is the American army
with sharp lines Of division between
common soldiers. as mere men, and
officers, as gentlemen" il is felt quite
generally that a large and well-organ-
lied military establishment, spells peril
10 American institutions The or
Fanizaiion of the army has been held
TO he necessarily autocratic; and com
bined with the inadequate pay, this
fact has served to create prejudice
against military service The thought
is that no matter how excellent the
service OF an American citizen who en-
lists as private precedent and the
officer and gentleman idea" act as in
surmountable obstacles 10 his promo
ton The private soldier has small
chante 20 become an officer and the
task OF maintaining an army which
crushes ambition has been most diili-
cult American citizens will not join
an establishment which condemns
them TO position of inferiority, and
depriyes them of equal opportunities
for advancement
However, the war has taught one
lesson The French army, absolutely
democratic in its Organization, has
proved to the world that an organiza-
tion based on aristocratic principles is
not necessary for discipline. Man for
man, perhaps the French army has
given better account for itself than
any other military organization par.
ticipating in the European shambles.
An American conscript army giving
full recognition to ability, and which
encourages instead of penalties pro.
motion from the ranks an army which
offers opportunity for education. ad

ters and life career, would be free
from most of the objections raised
to military development. It has been
said of Napoleon's army that every
private felt he had field marshals

the conqueror's greatest generals
came up from the ranks. If the Amer.

LONG DISTANCE FRANCHISE WILL

JAN. 1e.-WlLL MEAN IMPROVED
LONG DISTANCE SERVICE.

The city registration will close next
Saturday. Those persons not already
registered who desire to participate
in the special election to be held jan
uary 16 at which time the franchise
of the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company will be ratified or re-
jected must register before Saturday.
Jacksonville has granted the COM
pany a similar franchise to the one
passed by the city commissioners OF
DaytOna and there seems but little
likelihood but what the franchise will
be ratified by the electors of Daytona
by a large majority, as there seems to
be little objection to the franchise.
The line along the Feast Coast to
Key West is now practically complet-
ed, cities along the coast having
granted the company franchises to
pass through the various municipal
tiles. Only one franchise remains to
be secured, and that is in Daytona.
The election here will be held Jan
uary 16, and as the sentiment is over
whelming in favor of the project, the
franchise will be ratified as has been
the case in all other municipalities.
1t will also mean linking Cuba via
telephone with the United States,
which has for some time been the
dream Of the telephone builders.
The franchise asked for merely
gives to the company the right to build
a line. which will be used only for
long distance service, the other fran
chise along the coast already ratified
