. A Wave of Army Desertions

Desertions from the army
are worrying the War Depart
ment. 1t is at a loss to learn
why there have been 5000
men to desert since last March
and of those missing only 700
have been caught. The main
worry is the fear that those un-
caught will spread reasons,
right or wrong, for deserting
and that the effect will not be
to the advantage of recruiting.
Several reasons are advanced
for the general exodus. 1t is
thought that he universal un-
res" has hit the army the same
as in the industrial world. Most
Of the deserters are young mea
who enlisted after the arm
stiec. They have suffered a
relaspe from their enthusiasm.
Others expected a small army
which would bring about quick
advancements also higher pay.
The increase in pay has come
and no decision has been reach
ed as to the size of the army.
If present rates of desertion
keeps up, more attractive offer
s to secure recruits to fill the
ranks will have to be made.
