First and foremost in the minds Of men who would serve their country stand the two great arms of Uncle Sam's fighting machine,-the army and the navy. The door to either of these attachments is open to men who are capable of passing the physical and mental examinations The examinations are strict. They arc not too easily passed. Failing to secure a place in either one of these organizations the National Guard of fers the second step for ambitious cit izens. After that there is the Home Guard. It seems all very simple, and no man after he has tried and failed should be the subject of criticism. The Army has it's special work. The Navy has it's duties. The National Guard serves 9 purpose. And the Home Guard stands as.the watchdog of the community when the more perfect forms of fighting units will have been. called to the front.

If he says no, the incident is closed. If he says yes, the lieutenant governor will ask hin ''to state specifically the precise evidence that he had inducing him to make the charge" The mayor may be examined by his own counsel tfen, but after that he may be cross- examined by the whole senate.
