EEEp OUR ARMY TRUE TO OUR
TRADITIONS


i The reason that this paper is so
n UGH concerned against permitting
the Prussian military system from OBJ
tanning foothold in our own army is
because il is well aware of the danger
that turks in its wake
There is grave danger in the very
mldest of military systems and for
that reason the founders of our gov
eminent made the military subservi-
ent to the civil authority.
Cromwell started out bitterly hos
/ tile to kingIy domination, but as he
gradually obtained control of an army
and could sway it at his pleasure the
principles he early espoused were
quickly forgotten. and he grew more
and more ambitious, and as soon as
tie opportunity offered, with an army
at his back, it was an easy matter for
him to seize the government of Eng
land, and, putting himself at its head,
he soon became a most despOtic ruler
If one will read the story of Napo-
leon he will find that he satrted out
fred with the spirit of democracy,
ui.J his feelings we're entirely alorg.
side those of the common people. and
he entertained dreams of doing much
for their emancipation, but with his
military successes he became ambi-
tious for power, and his early dreams
vanished.
As soon as the conqueror of Italy
bad the army completely in his power,
kaiser-like. he strove for aus ere.
world dominion.
When Washington became the idol
OF the continental armies Sere were
those about him bold enough to offer
him the "kingIy crown" and had he
not been the patriot that he was, he
could easily have proclaimed himself
king, and in doing so would have
changed the destiny of the world.
Grave danger turks Ia the military
arm of any government. and that is
the reason why republics are opposed
to big standing armies. for those in
control Of them are liable at any time
to seize the reins of government and
create a despotism.
The more our army becomes Prus-
the greater lies the danger:
the more we keep it democracized fine
less will be the danger, so we should
bend our energies in that direction.
and frown down the first appearance
o. the Prussian military system.
We must not permit it to obtain a
loothoid on American soil or under
the folds of the American flag.
