Whining Out the Lines

Q ECRETARY OF WAR BAKER has an
- nounced that the War Department is
working upon a plan whereby the regular
army, the National Guard and the National
Army, now three distinct branches of the
military establishment. to be merged in
the army of the United States. BY this
scheme all the lines which have arkcd the
old divisions will be erased Every officer and
every enlisted man in uniform will have
exactly tho same standing as every other of
equal rank.
This move will commend itself to every
democratic American, whether he is III the
army or out OF it, 1t is in line with Il
Policy which the War Department pronounced
when it asked for the seiectivc service act
policy which it was impossible, however. TO
put into effect at once. The old order existed.
and had TO be dealt with as Ions ques-
lions of organization were TO be met But
the army now has been thoroughly organized.
and there is not the slightest reason why any
ono branch of the service should have
status different from any other
Obviously, the program now being whipped
into shape is designed primarily to give the
men who have been drafted their prope foot
ing in the army and their proper rating be-
fore the country. Many of the draitees have
felt that they were less esteemed soldiers
because they were not volunteers. AS mat
ter of fact, they volunteers in the sense
that they voluntarily registered for service.
