further, to assist in the tremendous re-
educational program for wounded and
ihcapacitated soldiers flowing into
camp from overseas. soldiers who saw
fighting and paid the price, soldiers
who won and saved the liberty OF the
world for us, our allies and our
enemies. These soldiers require not
only our sympathy, but our care, our
attention, service, sacrifices. Aglance
at the facts concerning the condition
of many of these men reveals the
utter necessity for doing our bit for
them as they have done their bit for
us. The caring for these men will
mean a lot Of work for the personnel
of the army, and it is surely your duty,
and the duty of every able-bodied man
in the service, to see to it that the
work incident to the proper main
tenance and assistance Of these dis
abled men is properly carried out.
Perhaps this is a reason why you are
being held here, and if 80, can you
conceive a better one3

OF the vast army which was sent
overseas but a lesser percent went
into action, the remaining greater part
being held in reserve or performing
some other task. One of the health
lest signs of our army was the magni-
6cent spirit the men at home showed
in trying to get across. Disappointed
beyond belief at failing to sail, the
men who remained in America may
find no little consolation in the fact
that they did their best which, in the
final analysis, is all that can be asked
of any men.
The government the American SOL
dier swore to defend to his last breath
has pledged its word rehabilitation
will be carried forward as speedily as
is consistent with conditions as they
exist. In the meantime, the duties
that are to be done should be met in
cheerfulness and contentment.

While the guns are silent on the
western front the soldier b facing one
OF the most severe tests Of his career.
There is no more natural impulse
in . human being than longing for
home. While this exists in oil, In no
one more than q soldier does the
spirit obtain. Those who tore them
selves from their families to march to
the defense Of the nation In the hour
Of bitter peril spiritedly and gloriously
performed their task. Now that the
incentive, which prompted men to
consider no work or sacrifice too try
Ing, has been removed the period has
been reached when the call Of home
is most appealing. Especially Is this
true Of those who remained In this
country and were not privileged to
stand with their comrades on the edge
Of No Mans Land. Those IN the
Army of Occupation can reason the

NATIONAL GUARD

To The National Guard and its

their valor in the annual report just

'eThe National Guard, as organized
under the National Defense Act Of
June 3, 1916, and drafted August S,
1917, has passed into history as q Ma
tional Guard organization and is now

that two years after the passage of

BY this ruling not only does the re-
