GOVERNMENT MUST PROVIDE FOR SOLDIERS
FAMILIES.

Il VERY American who enlists either in the army
~ navy in the war against Germany should know when
he does that his famiys financial obligations
automatically assured by the government.
It should make no difference whether these obga-
lions to dependent father and mother, dependent
wife and children 1t should make difference whether
the enlistment is voluntary compulsory.
The government has the right not only to ask but to
demand that every man do his duty. But It has no
moral right either to ask or demand that enlist
to fight their country unless at the time it
makes ample provision for the support Of those who
thus are deprived OF their breadwnners.
Whether this provision be in the form OF wages paid
the soldiers and sailors thus enabling them to
tinue support their families, whether be in the
form Of direct payments by the government to the faml
lies is merely matter Of detail
The important consideration is that the situation
which existed when the militia serving the
Mexican border be not repeated during the with
Germany.
Tho recollection OF what occurred during those
months must be painful to every decent
The families OF thousands OF who went to the
front nothing less than objects of charity
To be sure when their plight discovered, chair
itaby disposed persons willingly contributed for their
support
But that there should have been such necessity that
selfrespectng wives OF soldiers who had volunteered
TO fight If need for their country, should have
been put the humatng position of having to ask for

with which they to fight.
And such provision must have flavor Of charity.
It should be written into every soldiers contract as
matter OF right and justice.
