"Why should give up good job in the country and

infer that if the government would pay him something
more than the $3.50 per that he might be earning out r
the fields he would the thing in quite different

what his neck is worth.
In contrast to this, the flower of youth

Of battle 1t is the pathetic side of that while slug
CARDS and sackers would stop bullet just we'll any
one has to be the of initiative and courage and de-
cision who are subjected to this futile waste.
There are some constituted that they do not
feel under obligation to their country The pay envelope
is their flag If enemy country offered them better
wages they would cheerfuly go theref they could gel
there without harm to their precious skins.
Such men may have great hulking bodies, but the
soul seems left out Of people Of this kind bring
their own peculiar punishment themselves. They are
psychoogcally constituted without the sentiment Of 10y
atty They may have animal strength and able to dig
bitches or hoe crops They will starve long Their
hunger drives them into the field But this lack Of
loyalty will not show itself merely in striking their duty
to their country 1t will also be apparent in their relations
with their employers and their home community dis
loyal worker is Of little in any gang If hard times
come they may wish they had taken Uncle Sans meager
