particularly about this war as the Ameri-
can soldier knew it. For the soldier who
escapes without a wound, war is dam
nably fascinating. 1t begins with a COM
plete release from responsibility, such as
mature person can enjoy nowhere else
in human society. You are fed and
clothed, moved about over the earth with
the least possible worry on your part. If
the war goes wrong, it is not your fault,
and the sense of detachment enables you
to criticize the high command or the sec
ond lieutenant with surgical precision.
You become, not man of action, as the
uninitiated might suppose, but philoso-
pher, and you enjoy your philosophy.
In about nine cases out of ten the uni
form vastly improves your appearance,
and Army etiquette improves your man
ners, and beyond your extreme hopes
you become a social success. You walk
in glamour, and your prestige with the
ladies is outrageous. Kind women greet
you in canteenS, fatter you, dance with
you, take an interest in your soul.
You are like one of those primitive gods
the anthropologistS tell us about. gods
for an hour, but soon to be sacrificed,
and, therefore, furnished with adulation
and with love, because they must die for
the people.
But the anthropologists forget to say
whether the gods, in case they are re-
prieved, would present bill to those who
have given them adulation, or to those
who have given them love.
We have not forgotten the men whose
total experience of war was in the mud
and the trenches, who gave service more
than devoted, and who were too busy at
it to profit by any of the relaxation the
folks at home tried to provide for them
It is not of these men that we speak
here. AS general rule, they are the

ones who have not asked for a bonus,
nor have they cared to dwell publicly on
the personal sacrifices they made in or
der to serve their country.
It would be interesting to know how
many soldiers were better off financially
in the Army than before they enlisted,
and how many went back to better jobs
afterWard. No doubt some men had diff
flculty in reorienting themselves, but
they are much overbalanced by those
whom the Army trained to trades, or for
whom the wars deep experiences were
a stimulus and an education.
LEW small towns in the United States
offer such entertainment as the
American soldier enjoyed almost up to
the fighting line In the welfare hutS
he had films and lectures and concerts
and plays and books. Against all this
he registered many a complaint and
many grumble, in the soldier tradition,
but he rarely missed a performance, and
he knew he was hearing more famous
singers and seeing more firSt-rate actors
and actresses than would ever come his
way in peace times, unless he lived in
the large cities He had all this free, of
course, as the gift of the folks at home.
But the greatest privilege OF war is not
provided by the welfare workers, and for
some reason it is rarely spoken of, even
in the memoirs of veterans. To serve in
an active army, even when you are not
under fire, is to live in more parts of
your nature, in greater variety of
nerves, with keener sensitiveness and
a more vital energy than you suspected
you had. The mere possibility of danger,
the fate that hangs over you, even if it
does not fall makes life inexpresSibly
colorful and passionate. The fiendiSh

aside vast sums for the wounded and the
disabled; if our good intentions in that
respect went astray, it was not the fault
of the people at large. In our gratitude
we made no diStinc ction between the COM
paratively few who reached the line of
danger and the innumerable toilers who
supported the line and furnished the
supplies. We were proud of the fighters
as fellow citizens, and we expected them
to behave like fellow citizens when they
returned. We regret that some of them
prefer to have us think of them as en-
ployes, who wish to raise their wages
after the work is done
Mo doubt there will be opportunity in
Congress to point out that any ex-
traordinary aid which the country can
afford should go to those who really need
it, whether they fought in the war or
whether they did not. No doubt our
Treasury will warn us how close these
billions will bring us, soldiers and all, to
bankruptcy. Meanwhile the private citi-
zen, whose gratitude the ex-soldier is
claiming in dollars and cents, might as
well say just how much gratitude he has.
We owe debt to the dead
We owe debt to the wounded.
We owe a debt to bereaved families,
and to all for whom the absence of their
men meant distress
We owe debt to the comparatively
few soldiers whose career was damaged
by their service in arms.
But to the vast majority, who came
home unscathed, we owe nothing at ALL
If the conflict wrecked the world, we are
all in the same boat, and the one differ
ence between the ex-Soldier and the rest
of us is that the rest of us are not pre-
senting our bills
1t is time we told the truth about war.
Evening star., 1932-06-26

S it true that any large number of our
ex-soldiers wish to present bill for
patriotism?
If they do, would they not rather
postpone the bill until the needy have
been cared for?
Or do they believe, because they once
wore the Nations uniform, that they are
set off in a favored class, and should
come first?
II that is SO, perhaps it would be as
well to pay the bill. The act of Congress
authorizing it might provide that all our
school histories should faithfully portray
this profiteering kind of patriotism,
which comes home with its hand out.
There have been mercenary armies be-
fore, which, after victory, looted the
treasury. Rome employed such troops,
when she had none better. Let our his
tory tell the truth about us.
Let history say, of course, that many
of our soldiers were diSinterested patri-
OTIS, prepared to risk their lives for an
issue they believed in, and intelligent
enough to know that their best service to
the country would be to put it on it's feet
again after the costly and wasteful strug-
gle. Let history say that no one knows
how many or how few individuals who
wore the uniform insisted on having their
honor commuted in cash. But if the
number is large enough to throw a bad
scare into Congress, the sworn custodians
of the Republic, let history record that
fact also
We went into the war with more
thought for the enlisted man, whether
he was drafted or a volunteer, than any
nation has ever shown before for any
army We provided insurance, and al
lotments for families, and recreation and
entertainment and education, both in the
training camps and in the field. We set
