UPLIFTING THE ARMY.
Meddling by the Self.rIghteous Has
Kent Down Recruiting.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: One
day recently you expressed the hope
that after the reformers had settled
all the things that the soldier must not
be allowed to do they would aid re-
cruiting by stating a few privileges
which the soldier might enjoy in COM
mon with other American citizens.
| often regretted during the debate in
Congress upon the army bill that the
suggestion was not mace that we get
an army first and regulate 1t when We
had something to regulate. There Is
no doubt that the prospect of being
put on the nag list" like the village
drunk" and the spectre of white
zones" presided over by a lot OF med
dIesome uplifters. deferred many n
citizen who is perfectly well behaved,
and would doubtless remain so. from
putting his neck into any such yoke
until his country really needed him.
II out of our experience in this war
shall come the restored right OF a man
to use his own conscience and sense of
propriety In what used to be known as
indifferent acts we shall gain some
thing.
As it is now the encroachments on
personal liberty proceed In an arithmet-
ical progression. These reformers re-
mind one OF Macaulay's statement that

A TRAGEDY OF MANILA.
Sad Fate Of q Cargo OF stimuli IS
Intended for the Wounded.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH-Sir: There
has come to my attention letter to THE
SUN which was published under the
heading "A Sup for the Woun6ed" This
letter advocated the giving OF rum-the
word being used. l suppose, in the broad
sense to include alcoholic liquor gener-
ally--to those who are wounded. What
a blessing a little rum will be to them"
It says; many will be wounded. and I
am going to try to see II can do a lit
tie good. Just a drop OF rum here and
there will do go much"
This letter recalls very vividly an
evening on the line north Of Manila
eighteen years ago after an all day
fight in which a considerable number of
our men were wounded. A chap who
may have felt as the writer of this letter
says he feels, that just a drop of rum
would do 80 much" came up to the field
hospital with several bottles OF whiskey
''for the poor wounded lads One OF
the ablest surgeons in the army was on
duty there. At the first suggestion OF
whiskey for the wounded he whipped his
big revolver out Of its holster, jumped
at the bearer OF the booze, smashed
every bottle the man had, and the last
seen OF that helper of the wounded he
was galloping madly down the road in
a frantic effort to get away from the
doctors gun.
II want to see nybody giving whlskey
to my wounded" exclaimed the angry
surgeon when he came back from the
chase. Doesn't the d-n fool know that
whiskey is great stimulant-that its
effect would be to make the heart work
more rapidly than ever and pump more
blood out OF the wound? That's the way
to kill a man. not help him" l have
seen surgeons In the field forbid the
giving OF coffee to wounded men for the
same reason. The brave Canadian off,

no doubt was right in the heart. but he
