MAY BE TRUE.
Sergeant Does Not See Need of Too
Much Saluting. =

Editor The Washington Herald
So the military authorities have be-
gun enforcing Discipline" in WASH
ington by arresting enlisted men for
failure to salute officers. Evidently
some officer with an enlarged Ego
in his Cosmos" has been watching the
boys.
In the camps they give great deal
OF attention to what is called Mill
tary discipline" and 1t Is thoroughly
drilled into the men. There is a rea-
son for this. On the battle field abso-
lutte doglife obedience is essential to
success. The practice Of saluting a
superior Is carried out with the main
idea of the discipline 1t represents
and the respect for higher authority.
Battles cannot be won without that
discipline and obedience.
But to inforce such rigid practices
in a station like Washington, where
the enlisted men never have and pro-
baby never will be called upon, to
perform field duties, Is carrying mat
ters to an extreme.
Discipline of the strict military sort
is entirely unnecessary in a place like
Washington where there are hardly
any fighting or combat troops. The
writer was sent here from a canton
ment where it was necessary because
combat troops were in training. I had
not been here more than a day when
noticed the fact that the Washing
ton officers seemed to look upon the
salute as a boresome formality and
a nuisance and apparently did not
expect it. In fact have heard sew
eral of them say 1t was such and to
expect that rigid discipline in this
place was the "hmit of nonsense
The enlisted men in Washington are
generally office men, men of special
qualifications or of non-combatant
branches and to enforce discipline that
is only necessary for battle troops
does seen to be a boresome formality.
for what good does it do?
In the trenches or training camps
It really is necessary. but here where
there are no real soldiers in a military
sense it is almost ridiculous.

Mr.. EICHELBERGER RILED
Suffragist Thinks So and She May
Be Right.


To the Editor of The Washington
Herald: We thank you for permit
ting us to use a little space in The
Open Forum"
1t would appear from the article
under the heading OF Opposed to
Suffrage" in the Open Forum, that
Mr.. Eichelberger got real riled from
the expressions Ct the "One of the
Shackled." 1t occurs to me that
the man with the Berger name got
unduly excited about the matter and
let the subject run away with his
good sense. Not only that, but he
took it quite to heart that one of
the weaker sex had actually had
the courage to say things against
one of our Senators. To read the ar
ticle would lead anyone to think that
the lady had committed a very seri-
Gus offense We are not going to dis
cuss the faults or virtues of any
OF our statesmen. but we would like
to impress upon the writer of thai
article that in this country 1t is con-
sidered one of the privileges of an
American of either sex to find fault
with the men that their vote has
elected to Office.
'Tis true that the strong and state

excuse that the living here was too

"MENTAL PABULUM."
For Those Who Think from Top
of Head Up."

Editor The Washington Herald:
am glad to see the stand you have
taken in regard to the extortionate
charges for foodstuffs in Washington.
and I, also. want to offer a protest
in the following: Diversity of opinion,
like other human virtues and vices,
still flourishes. Some are fallacies and
some are facts. In the days gone by
caterers of cogent conclusions said:
"Contentment induces happiness, as
right living induces health" but hun
ger and the H. c. of l. produce an
other philosophy.
We are told that the avarice and
cupidity of the livestock producer
may be assigned as the cause for the
present high prices of meats and the
packer is the victim with no means
of retaliation, hence the consumer
should place the blame where 1t
rightly belongs; also cheerfully con-
tribute his daily dollar for a modicum
of meat. Clever conclusion! Seduc-
tive as a cigarette sign. Mental Pab-
ulum for those who do their thinking
from the top of their head up.

ments in your valuable paper:
l. General March. chief of staff of
the American army, says the rule
against wives and sweethearts of
soldiers going to France in any ca
pacity, Red Cross or Y. NJ. c. A.
is to be enforced: and answering the
Y. NJ. c. A. statement often iterated
that they cannot obtain women for
overseas work in sufficient numbers
unless there be draft on the fami-
lies of soldiers.
2. In connection with a plea by Dr.
John R. Mott, for hundreds Of wom-
en- to go to France. is printed the
statement that every woman going
for Y. NJ. C. A. overseas work must
have a minimum of $500 for her ex-
penses.
1t is explained to inquiries that
the $500 is for uniforms and $50
a month for current expenses for a
year. -
Gen. March stated that he believ-
ed the needed several thousand
other than those OF soldiers. II the
same degree of energy were dis
played that is witnessed in asking
for and getting funds for the Y.
NJ. c. A.
Is it not obvious that the two
facts are important and suggest a
solution of the Y. NJ. c. A. women
workers overseas problem? They
need many women: they make those
who go supply $500 each towards
| their expenses.
Probably it would be argued that
the Y. NJ C. A. has not funds with
which to pay these $500 items. Let's
see. Probably not more than 1000
| women are there now for the Y. NJ.
| C. A. Where the Y. NJ. C. A. to

would mean an added 100000 for
those now there. Assume that 5000
more went. That would be another
$2.50O, 900; or SS,00o.000 in all.
The Y. NJ. C. A. asked for $685.
