DESERT FOR MANY REASONS
Every Soldier Who FIees the Colors in
Times Of Peace 10 Not Neces
sarlly Disloyai.

Tie reversion TO peace is welcomed
by most men. but there is a group in
the army and navy posted as desert
ers who must be uneasy in their minds.
Desertion In the army implies alb
sence without leave for % days, and
entails a court-martial il the lndivid.
ual Is reclaimed, says a writer In Lon
don Answers.
In time of war IL was a serious BUSH
ness. and a man risks his life almost
as much by running away from dar-
ger as by running into II.
But In peace times there is ono
times an element Of humor In deser-
| ton from the forces. Men run away
for such trivial reasons, sometimes
merely to join another unit.
Men desert chiefly because they are
| daily confronted by irritating restric-
| tlons, personal luminosity OF superiors
or for private reasons
Sometimes an attractive uniform
like that Of q lancer regiment win

mind q corporal who vas chased by
military police in Aldershot two years
after the ~desertion, one OF the n. P.'s
.aving known him In his former unit.
A man still living left the navy In
a hurry in 1874. An officer had called
him a liar. a charge he countered with
his fist, for which he WAS placed In
irons. A fire on board that night gave
him HIS chance. He roamed Australia
until his ship went out OF commission,
when the charge automatically lapsei.
Discomfort with existing conditions
Is a frequent cause OF a man break
ing away. In 1915 a private who
held an army skilled trade certificate
was deputed TO examine applicants for
special enlistment In that branch.
He prepared the tests and examined
the finished work.
Those who qualified were created
staff ~sergeants a week later. with pay
amounting to four times his owl.
His repeated requests for promotion
were turned down, as he was a regu
lar. While on leave he deserted. Join
ing another regiment Immediately. and
after IS months In Saloniki he was dis
charged under an assumed name with
heart trouble.

The severe gales of Friday and Sat-
| urday did severe damage in the
borough by uprooting trees several of
which have been landmarks for the
last half century. Although the tides
were unusually high no serious dam
age was suffered along the water
front, other than a small mount of
b~ulkheading being washed away. Sew
era boats now in the water rode their
anchors for a considerable distance
but were unchanged. Many electric
lights about the borough were damag-
ed and the trolleys were somewhat
delayed owing to wires down. How

the damages were unusually light.

MY dear Mr.. Frederick:
Il have before me your favor of

deed, very gratifying to me, this evil
dence of support from nay constitu-
ents, in this great crisis-a more
momentous crisis than any existing
during the late war with autocratic
Germany. This Wilsonian League of
Nations proposition, in its present
shape, is a burning question. Let us
beware lest it result in America be-
ing set on fire, in common with SO
large a part of the world which is
now in flames. Except for the Presi-
dents insistence on his scheme, we
would have had, as we should have
had, peace several weeks ago. Now,
q treaty of peace may come too late
to save civilization from a greater
holocaust than any yet experienced.
II wish 1 could spare the time to
drop a line to each individual signer
of the paper which you have sent me.
AS far as practicable, kindly express
to them my appreciatiye thanks.
Yours very truly,
