nicat ton follows:
ITO the Comeback editors:
Il note with pleasure that 1t is your
purpose to have a national essay con-
test on What Are the Benefits of an
Enlistment in the United States
Army
Il believe that this will be the
means of fostering a deeper spirit of
patriotism in the minds of the youth
Of our country, for naturally before
writing of any benefits whatever they
will want to know what sort Of gov
ernment this Army is intended to
maintain and defend against enemies.
foreign and domestic. I hope that the
youth of our land will apply them
selves to the study of the principles
OF our government and then engage
IN the essay contest. Very sincerely
yours, THOMAS Il. MARSHALL"
