IN THE ENEMY's FOOTSTEPS

The past war, it is said, was fought
SO that Democracy might live. The
enemy defeated was a professional
militaristic state. Every able-bodied
man was trained in the rudiments of
warfare and was subject to call at any
time. The men of Germany did not
enjoy the fruits of democracy-their
bodies belonged to the state and their
souls were censored. In the Peace
Treaty are articles which provide for
Germany a relatively small regular
army which must be recruited volun-
tally. The old system of compulsory
military training, which was one of
the leading factors in the causes of
the war, was abolished. However. the
Peace Treaty does not contain provi-
sions concerning the armies of the
Allies, for they fought the cause of
Democracy and are keepers of the in
tangible goddess, which makes them
infallible.
On August 4, Secretary Baker
transmitted to Congress plans for a
system of universal military training
and provisions for peace army of
$4,000 officers and men. All boys
upon becoming 10 years old-about
100000 annually-would serve three
months in military training, and .or
two years thereafter would be automa-
tically subject to call, and beyond that
period selective draft act would be-
come operative. The bill provides for
the maintenance of one field army
with war strength of 1,250,O00 men.
There are several arguments in ia
vor of the system on the grounds of
building up the physical strength and
health of young men; but it must be
remembered that the primary purpose
is war. The past war has proved con-
clusively that the United States can
put a superior force of men in the
field without universal military train
ing.

PERSHING. MISSOURIAN

John ]. .Pershing of Missouri is COM
ing home in September.
America and the world are proud
of General Pershing The American
army leader has been honored in great
cities of the Allied countries. He rep
resented the United States in the
greatest war Of course, we are glad
that the world likes and honors him.
But Pershing's greatest ovation will
be, not the one in Paris or in London
or yet in New York, but the one when
he arrives home back in Missouri, the
state that gave him to the world and
that claims him as her own.
1t is all right for Paris and Lon
don and New York to pay homage to
General Pershing, but Missouri, the
state where he was born, and educat-
ed, will show its affection not to the
army general but to John Pershing,
or Jack Pershing if you please, who

Former fellowtownsmen, school

are going to tell him so. Their well
come will not be a superficial show,
but a homely, warm, spontaneous
greeting from the heart of friend to
friend At the celebration in his old
home town, Laclede, Black Jack
Pershing will be with his own kind of
people, who know and understand him.
1t will not be until then that General
Pershing will realize to the fullest ex-
tent how much the world admires him
for his courage and generalship at
Chateau Thierry, Balleau Woods and
the Argonne, when he and his Ameri-
can doughboys turned back the foe
and saved the world.
