THE AMERICAN ARMY


The total number of American
soldiers now in France has passed
the 1900, 900 mark, according to
an announcement made by Gen.
March. chief Of staff, at the end Of
last week.
five we're to take time, from our
mad rush to do things, to think q
little of what has been done BY the
government during the last year,
we would be amazed at the mag
nitude of the results accomplished.
At first, when the selective SER
vice plan was announced, many
objected and much criticism was
offered. 1t was claimed by some
that the volunteer army was the
best, and that in a crisis a million
Americans would spring to arms
over night. Friends of Col. Roose-
welt insisted that the colonel with
100000 rough riders" should be
sent to France to put an end to
the trouble. In the face of real
conditions, as they have occurred,
how futile and ridiculous these
things appear. There is no fur
ther room for questioning the ef-
ficiency of the selective service
system for raising an army.
Under this system the govern.
ment promises an army in France
100000 strong by July /. 1919.
In making announcement figures
were submitted to the committee
on military affairs to bear out the
claim.
These figures present an inter.
esting study. According to Gen.
March's statement there are now
over 100000 men in France.
Last Saturdays registration will
provide $4,000 additional men,
The registration of men between
tle age Of 81 and As will provide,
it is claimed, 601.200 men. The
registration of men between the
ages of 18 and 81 will provide
100000. These figures are ex.
elusive of deferred classes, mar.
ried men, delinquents and those
rejected because of physical il.
firmities.
There are in the cantonments in
the United States at present over
100000 men. So the 100000
army will be obtained without ma
terially diminishing the number Of
men in training in the United
States next June.
The government plans to send
to France $50, 900 soldiers a month,
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-08-30

between August / and july i.
This will insure an army Of over
1000, 900 in France at the time
promised.
With the full man power Of this
country at the governments call,
war preparations along other lines
will be as successfully and ef-
fciently accomplished, and one
year from now we will have an
army we'll equipped, and one that
will prove itself the pride of the
civilized world.

Some of the French war writer's
believe that the Huns are getting
ready for a big retreat. 1t is in
sisted that it may start sooner than
many think, and that the Germans
are simply trying to delay the ad-
vance of the allied troops so as to
evacuate territory slowly enough
to save war materials and sup
plies.

1t is believed, and there is some
credence to sustain the belief, that
Germany is facing internal condi-

bringing about an earlier peace

The recent rains will do a great

FRIDAY. AUGUST 80. 1918
WAR is TERRIBLE

The people of this country have
not yet begun to realize the ter
ribleness of war. Our older citi-
zens who experienced the priva-
lions and hardships growing out
Of the war between the states,
know something Of what war
means. 1t has been hard for pa
rents to give up their boys or
wives to give up their husbands
20 60 to France and endanger their
lives, bat this 8 about as far As we
have gone ID experiencing the real
hardships of war.
The demand upon US to conserve
foOdstuffs has worked to our in
convenience some, but it has not
proved a hardship. Responding
to the call for the purchase of
bonds and war savings stamps has
really caused no sacrifice, but to
the contrary has taught us thrift
and economy. The appeals for
help to the Y.M.C.A A. and the Red
Cross have been met with no hurt
to any one. The money has come,
in the main, from we'll filled purses
and without serious sacrifice.
The good women who have cast
aside social functions and to a more
or less degree neglected home du-
ties, to give their time and labor
to Red Cross units, preparing band
ages and comforts for the wounded
soldiers, in point of sacrifice, come
next to those who have given
their husbands and sons to the SER
vice. And it is too often the case
that the Red Cross units are made
up most largely of those who have
loved ones in the service.
In business and social affairs
things are moving along pretty
much the same as before the war
began. Men and women dress just
as fine; summer resorts are just as
well if not more largely attended;
automobiles are being purchased
to the limit and kept in use both
for business and pleasure as never
before; the travel on railroads was
never greater; shows and places
of amusement are crowded to their
capacity, and the money-making
craze holds full sway in every line
Of industry.
In our opinion, before another
year is gone. we will experience a
decided change. A year from now
will find us undergoing sacrifices
of which we know nothing now.
The shortage in food and.feed sup
plies is going to be more seriously
felt than many of US are now will
ling to admit. The high prices
will continue to soar and the abil-
ity to meet them, we fear, will not
be equal to the demand. We are
no pessimist, but we believe the
.terribleness- of this war has not
