ARMY FAvORITIsM.

1t is already manifest that our
newly created army is going to have
before it a big problem in personal
favoritism. 1t will take all the res
A,lution and independence of our
bubble men and our army chiefs to
meet it.
First there will come up the ques-
zion of the making of appointments
@rom the men trained in the new
camps. There is going to be an in
tense rivalry. ALI these young men
f3re bent on military success and
5 look for the higher rewards both OF
glory and money. 1t is human ma
n ture to expect that they will work
personal pulls.
A certain type OF men will try to
get by on their social nature and
good fellowship. by their smooth
address and winsome ways they will
ingratiate themselves with the oaes
higher up and the men in power will
be impressed. At thr same time
many quiet fellow w..Lout social
gifts, but strictly. attentive to work
and studious, will have more Of SOL
dierly gifts. 1t will take discrimina-
ton to make appointments solely on
merit and not be misled by social
friendship.
Then the report comes from Wash
hgton, that a host of vultures are
descending on the departments, de-
handing commissions for personal
Friends who up to now know moth
= ing about military work. Now Off
GERS are going to be short, and the
officials may think they have excuse
for making appointments of untrain-
cd men on the basis Of the promises
they hold out, IL not on personal
pull.
1t will be fatal to the morale OF
the army if the idea spreads that ap-
pointments are going to be made
through political influence. The men
who have been doing the hard work
OF the training camps and who now
Aire taking their work in these camps
must be given the preference over
he friends of politicians.
