UTTER CONFUSION

eminent recognized by all the world. was succeeded py
smother which also was recognized by other powers as
competent to administer the affairs Of the nation during

tive OF a revolutionary faction claiming authority by vir-
tue Of having taken possession Of certain offices. It has
received the formal abdication Of the ~reienins monarch.
whose act in . measure established its status as a lawful
government; and 1t assumed and exercised control Of all
the machinery Of administration. It's recognition By 9TH
~ nations as the de facto government Of the empire was
zhtirely logical.
But that government was overthrow by a rabble,

refuse to yield obedience to it. Russian Representatives
In other countries have declared that they will have no
relations with the Bolshevki organization. Recognition
OF that organization as representing the nation seems to
be out OF the question.
The Bosheviki faction has concluded, or is conclud-

can its acts be held binding on the people. Those who

ARMY DEMOCRACY
tass

An army is ncEs sand cannetsbe, a democracy. 1t.suaay
be the instrument Of a democracy, and 1t may be nlled
with democratic spirit. but in its form and method 4, is
and must be a despotism If it is to accomplish the pur-
pose for, which an army exists.
Certain units of the Russian armies undertook some
time ago to apply the methods Of pure democracy to the
operation Of tho army When news was received that
the car had been deposed. and that the Russian PEG
pie were Free" the soldiers undertook to run the army
themselves. II they did not approve Of the officers who
had commanded them. they depcsed them and elected
others. When orders were received from elsewhere the
soldiers gathered Sin solemn conclave and dehatkd
gravely whether or notsyyhose orders should be .obey@&a.
The decision, whether. it. was Affirmative or negatixe,
made little difference, for. before it could be reached
the necessity which existed had disappeared, usually
by the disaster which followed the non,arrival Of troops
when and where they were needed Probably nothing
Of the sort was ever Witnessed before outside the realm
of comic opera
+ The french .rmy is said to be the most demo-
cratic Of any important army in the world. According
Ito many accounts the soldiers participate more funny
than do those Of other armies in the knowledge Of the
why and wherefore Of intended movements, and OF
duty there is mere fraternizing. between ohhcers and prt-
Yates than in other armies. But in. action, the French
army, like every other effective army, is a despotism.
Its officers issue orders. and those to whom orders are
issued obey them. instantly, thoroughly, and without
question or cavil. So it must be in every army.
AS the armies of the United States are assuming
form there is more or less discussion Of the relations
between officer and private. The shipping clerk may
easily be captain Of the company in which the pro-
prietor Of his esta blishnaent serves as a private. The
man who formerly took orders now gives them. Other
civil relationships are reversed. It is obvious that some
Of the old notions which have Prevailed in certain ex-
elusive circles must go by the board. But there must
be unity in the operation Of the army, discipline must
be maintained. and certain forms which are conducive
to order must be observed.
The army is the instrument Of the nation, It's
officers are entrusted with the authority Of the nation,
and the nation holds them accountable for the per-
formance Of their duty. The obedience which the SOL
der renders to his omcer, and the forms Of respect
which are current are not rendered to the individual
who happens to occupy an omcer's uniform, but to the
national authority which the uniform and it's emblems
typify. And the spirit Of democracy can best be ex-
hibited in the army by instant and unduestioning obedi-
ence to orders and to the observance Of the outward
forms Of respect which the soldier owes to the authority
of his nation.
