DEFENSE. ESSAY
The contest national by the
Legion Auxiliary which Browning students participated
by Miss Beverly Young with cent Following
is her contribution '

That is the definition for an army.
An army may, however. be more
than that. In early days, that
is the fourteenth century. men
organized in one body and when
there was war they would simply
fight for the country which would
pay them the most. These men,
though. had no love for their respec-
tive country's, no patriotism in their
fighting, no desire for personal dis
tinction. An excellent example Of
this type of fighting were the Hes
SLAMS whom the British hired to
fight against the colonists during
the Revolutionary war. 1t might
be interesting to note, however, that
after the war some of the Hessians,
finding America pleasant. remained
and to day their defendants are some
OF the sturdiest and most loyal sup
porters of our government.
The army OF the United States
has never been exceptionally large
when compared with the armies OF
leading European powers. Indeed,
in 1880 the rank and file of our ar
my consisted of 1926 men. In
1861 at the beginning of the Civil
War it totalled $4,000. Between the
years of 1861 and 1865, however,
nearly 100000 men were pressed
into service. But only about 10000
of these were authorized, the balance
being special volunteers who return
ed to their ordinary lives of civilians
as soon as the war ended. In several
other wars also. including the Span
ish American War a large percent
age Of the troops were volunteers,
some completely unframed. Since
then drawn into the war OF Europ-
can country's we stand good
chance Of coming out the victors.
With our semi-isolated geographical
position, our outposts conveniently
located and our nationally defense
we will be able to hold our own
against the strongest enemy. Per-
haps the best factor of our present
safety is our location. With Canada
on the north and Mexico on the
south we are in no immediate dan
ger of invasion. However regardless
of our advantageous position and
our friendly relationships with all
our neighbors our defense must be
adequate to meet any power or com.
bination of powers. We must keep
in mind the words of Washington
" a good army and navy is the best
insurance of lasting peace
