embarking in order that the people
might see and cheer the fighting
forces of the nation, Secretary Baker,
of the war department, emphatically
said no. His decision has drawn out
storm of protest from all over the
country, and has drawn further at
tention to the small calibre of the man
who has been placed at the head of
one of the fighting branches of the
government. Secretary Baker evil

troops would expose our strength and
military movements to the enemy, yet
every school boy knows that 1t would
add nothing to the information al

training at the various mobilization
He overlooks entirely the
splendid patriotic effect that would
follow such a parade upon the people
and the soldiers themselves. They
are going to participate in the worlds
greatest war. one that involves the
oerpetuation OF free government, and
he hearts and hopes of their country
men go with them. The ovation that
would be bestowed upon them would
