General Pershing evidently has
some of the spirit of true democracy
remaining in this country. He has,
against the recommendations of the
Secretary of War Baker and General
March, chief of staff, declared for an
army of 275,O0O to 100000 men,
sufficient, he says, with universal
military training. 1t is the strangest
thing to us why the militarism of
Germany was condemned and our
leaders have wanted to follow the

big standing army. But General
