Americas War and Peace Functions

The immediate war and peace func-
tions Of the United States have been
and are: l. To add the final factor
of military power and weight which
turned the scale and won the war
,. To work at Paris for peace of
victory and justiee-a peace which
promises to be enduring, first, because
it disarms and disables the military
power which lusted to conquer the
world and retains in the allies unde-
any disarmament procedure sufficient
military power quickly available to
prevent the would-be world conquer
ors from striking again; and, second,
because it is to the maximum degree
a peace of justice as we'll as of victory,
SO ending this war as to create as
few causes as possible of future wars.
But in performing the latter function
the United States will wisely be care
full not to permit itself to be isolated,
and alienatcd from its associated al
lies, and placed in the position of
world umpire to be hated and reviled
by the disappointed in respect to every
decision which is rendered. 5. In re-
drafting international law to get as
much of justice and of war prevention
into the relations of nations as can
possibly be secured. To this end as
a minimum of accomplishment to eff
feet Cancellation and compulsory ar
bitration agreement, which shall en-
force peace more effectively than has
been possible heretofore. Never be-
fore has there been so wonderful an
opportunity to secure the making and
keeping of such an agreement. Never
before was the world SO war-weary /;
never before were so many nations
gathered at the peace table.
In shaping . workable world agree
ment Of any sort the United States
win wisely avoid such action at Paris
thst a world union Of q kind which
no two great nations strongly desire is
forced upon Europe, Asia and Africa,
in the delusion that it is demanded
by America and is forced upon Ameri-
ca in the delusion that the rest of the
world is pleading for it.

take with them their discharge so that

gaining speed and over fifty men had
enlisted at building 2121, Camp Lee.
before noon yesterday. This will
bring the grand total considerably
over 100 enlisted at the camp
1t is frequently remarked that the
physique OF the men now enlis,ing
averages very high. which. since most
of these men have seen service In the
army lately, is an indication of what
the army can do for it's men from a
purely physical standpoint.
Another interesting piece Of news
was received yesterday. which Will
no doubt sound good to the many
civilians who have not seen military
service and wish TO enlist though not
for as long a period as three years.
II is now permissible to enlist men
for the quartermaster corps and
medical corps for one year terms, re-
gardiess of whether they have any
previous service or not. his new
lenient rule will enable a great many
more to get the benefit of the train
ing and highly educa tionai oppor-
tunities that both of these branches
have TO offer. The quartermaster
corps has q large scope of specialties
and Will Al its men for many similar
jobs in civil life. The medical de-
partment, needless to say offers edu-
cation and training in subjects that
certainly are most expensive to study
as a civilian.
