We were engaged In actual battle

these must not exceed a percentage

The majority of officers and men when
hey took off the uniform.
Why was there 80 much bitterness,
70 much disgust with a military sys-
lem which should have been produc-
hive of a new national army rs bull
wark of national defense?
Nearly seven years have elapsed
since the armistice. and to this day
the military authorities have been un-
able to induce thousands and thou
sands Of desirable discharged officers
to accept commissions as reserve Off
GERS, not even with the understanding
that they are under no obligation TO
do any temporary duty Of any kind
without their full consent. Why?
Because some of our responsible
military authorities did not know how
to handle the more than four million
men and to mould them into homo
gsnous body Of patriotic Americans,
willing to maintain an active interest
in national dcfense--just as they did
not know how to prepare for and con-
duct the World war on a common

what we do charge is that the most

deliberately at that because certain
