Keep Your Soldier Friends Out Of
the Guard House.

General SHASKS's appeal to civil
inns to assist the War Department in
maintaining discipline among return
ing soldiers should awaken everybody
TO the seriousness of the offence COM
mItted by those who encourage en-
listed men or officers to overstay their
leaves. or 10 neglect their duties in
any other way.
When the troops were going II
France there was considerable com
paint because friends and kinsfolk of
members Of the departing battaions
frequently detained them beyond sail
Ing time. Except in an intinitesimal
proportion of cases, this did not indi-
cate that the delinquents wanted to
evade foreign service. or that their
friends desired them 50 to do. II was
the result of overgenerous hospital
ity. which took no account Of the
flight Of time.
Now the men are returning. nat
urally feeling that the emergency Is
past, knowing they are soon to be
mustered out Of the service, and anX
icus to get back TO their families
their friends and civil life. Tn,
consciously or consciously, response
bility has relaxed, and their inclinn
ton to take things easy needs only
the slightest encouragement to induce
temporary forgetfulness Of their obi
cations. This encouragement fire.
quently comes from civilians who dc
, not know or else ignore the duty that
still rests on the soldiers.
The consequence of this is that {
number of officers and men now await
court-martialr and may be severely
punished. The civilians who contrib

none Of the burden; they cannot bt

most cases was only overgenerosity

Under these circumstances it is thu
plain duty OF every man and woman
to refrain from any act or word thai

The first big contingent OF sea soldiers

started red blood a-going in the cir
culatory systems Of millions of Amer
leans who were more or less In need
Of the TRANSMISSION. He iterated and
reiterated for years his urCings of
that sort of American manhood and
preparedness which WAS to flower
later in the North Sea and on the
Atlantic and ut Chatcnu-Thlerry and
in the hard fought territory beyond.
If ever II phrase of words cut
deeper than swords 1t was his famous
injunction to the American people to
speak softly but carry Il big stick. He
never himself was permitted to get to
that battle front which to his fighting
fervor and genuine patriotism seemed
the most desirable part OF the planets
surface and to which he sent all his
sons, one Of them t. II glorious death
but his spirit was there all the same
in the hearts of our millions in khaki.
His ideals of service were national
rather than international. If to the
thinking American he said six years
before he reached the White House.
I'VE must base our appeals for civic
and national betterment on nobler
grounds than those of mere business
eNpediency," to the Americans of ac-
ion she said three years before the
war for the liberation of Cuba. The
great writer's who have written in
prose or verse have done much for
,is. The great orators whose burning
words on behalf of liberty, of union, of
honest government have rung through
our legislative halls have done even
more, Most Of all has been done by
the men who have spoken to us
through deeds and not words or whose
words have gathered their special
charm and significance because they
came from men who did speak in
deeds"
He lived at least long enough tn
see the vindicatlon of his ideals of
Americanism by the deeds Of those
whom he had inspired.
A simple character in complex
manifestations an essentially human
person with many sided interest in
most of the things that ought to
interest humankind; n leader whose
gallant adherence TO the course that
he had laid and whose friendly, hui
man soul won the passionate devotion
,, of the immense following that shared
his convictions and had faith in his
start seems scarcely credible this
morning that he has gone from among
MS to live only in the pages Of the
chronicles of his time.
That he will live there no mourner
Of ROOSEVELT need doubt. There are
personalities so vivid. there is vitality
so intense, so magnetically alert, as
