From the Columbus Dispatch.
1t seems to be the general opinion
of all thoughtful persons. especially
those who have been on the other side
and who understand what our boys are
going through, that when the American
Army returns it will constitute the
most intelligent citizenship in this ma
ton. Here is the sentiment expressed
by a war correspondent who is now
lover there:
II believe that when our splendid
Army returns triumphantly from France
it will constitute the most intelligent
and best educated Americans we have
ever seen. l expect that they will rather
some things in the United
States when they get around to it, in
business, in commerce, in science, in
position-and in government. No Amer
leans ever have learned more in a year
than these boys have"
There isn't any question about it:
there isn't any question but what the
boy who takes part in this great war
is going to be mentally and spiritually
superior to the one who doesn't take
part in it. Even if the boys in the
Army and those outside of the Army
started life upon equal footing. those
are so. fortunate as to serve abroad,
will so far outdistance those who re-
main at home there will be no compari-
son. No better guarantee of the
stability of this nation can be given than
through the statement that when the
triumphant American Army returns it
will constitute the most intelligent and
best educated citizenship the world has
ever known.
