Democracy In the Army

s'The French have exploded the allacy that army
officers must deal with their men at arms length to
obtain obedience and efficiency. Officers in the
French army, up to grade Of major, must know
personally every in their command-and tho
officers are their spiritual and temporal advisors.
And the soldier of France--the Poilu--is the hero
of this war;"
This is one of the observations brought back from
France by Congressman John +. Miller of Seattle.
Altho he attended West Point as schoolmate of
j. J. Pershng, general in the field, and has
q host of close friends in the military service,
Miller feels deeply the need of bridging the social
gap between officer and soldier in the American
army.
And he has focused the attention Of congress on
the ISSUE
America, fighting for the perpetuation of demo-
cratic civilization, cannot gracefully overlook any
Rarng needs for characterization at home or in her
army.

swine or horses. The French officer things Of his
men as~cOmrades
If there are any red tape barriers in the Ameri-
can army regulations and traditions that make for
Prlssian rather than the French viewpoint let US
hope and pray that Miller wins his fight.
