1S.YEAR-OLD SOLDIERS

EDITOR, THE POST-GAZETTE:
YOU may have noticed that on
L April q | sent out letter to
parents of Mercersburg boys asking
them to protest the sending of Is
year-old boys into combat so soon.
Since then, | have received infor-
nation about special cases which /
am inclosing.
l am inclosing my letter to
parents. Unfortunately, most of the
argument has conferred around my
statement that a promise" was
made. The army denies it, since it
is not in the law.
| knew it was not in the law, but
| have letters from members of Con-
gress saying private assurances"
were given and that there was
general understanding"
The debate has now passed the
point whether promises" were not
broken.
1t should now center around the
advisability of sending YOUNG
BOYS INTO COMBAT so SOON.
That they are going right in with
ONLY A FEW MONTHS TRAIN
ING is no longer a matter of debate.
The evidence is clear, beyond any
contradiction.

ABOUT MATTERS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
TO THE AMERICANS AND THE BRITISH

The status of Poland, for instance, is not to
be a matter for determination by the conference.
Russia is dealing with Poland as her own
private affair, treating it as no affair of Poland
and certainly no affair of the United States and
Great Britain.
None of the Baltic states are likely to be dis.
cussed at the Washington conference, because
Russia has arbitrarily made them her private
affairs
1t is doubtful if Russia will engage in any
binding discussions about the Balkan states
1t is even doubtful if Russia will make any
commitments about Germany.
What, then is the conference going to &C
complish?
Russia is setting the stage and calling all the
cards.
Russia is not permitting anything to be done
or said that might offend Japan.
Russia is not permitting anything to be done
or said that would challenge her own private in
terests, and especially is not permitting anything
to be done or said in conflict with her expanding
authority in Europe.
THE Washington conference is SUPPOSED to
be the forerunner of an international organi-
zaton devoted to the maintenance of international
peace.
But 1t is little more than RUSSIAN sound
ing board
The interests of Russia are wholly immune
from discussion or analysis let alone question or
compromise.
THE INTERESTS OF JAPAN ARE
SHOWN INFINITELY MORE CONCERN
THAN THE INTERESTS OF RUSSIA'S
OTHER ALLIES ENGLAND AND THE
UNITED STATES.
The Polish and other Baltic Allies of Russia
are not even represented.
The Chinese Allies of Russia are not CON
SUITED
The American and British Allies of Russia
are LIMITED IN THEIR DISCUSSION to what
Russia CONSENTS to discuss
It is strange and incongruous conference.
It is not an honest and open conference, and
is incapable of accomplishing any honest or useful
purpose.
1t is in the pattern of the Moscow and Teheran
conferences which were largely in Russas in.
terest and productive of commitments by the
United States and Great Britain to Russia s great
and almost sole advantage
It is not "big four" conference but BIG
ONE conference with Soviet Russia telling the
United States and Great Britain WHAT they may
talk about and forbidding China to talk at all.

LETTER TO PARENTS
TO MOTHERS AND FATHERS
OF MERCERSBURG BOYS:

MANY of you have boys here who
WI are approaching military age.
Of the "a boys who we're graduated
in January many are already in
service, or going in soon.
Most of these boys have been
assigned to the infantry, many to
replacement training battalions.
This means that after basic train
ing they will be used to fill vacancies
in already organized and well-trained
divisions soon to 60 overseas.
Several boys who were here last
year were sent overseas WITHIN
FIVE MONTHS OF INDUCTION
WHILE THEY WERE STILL 18.
A member of the military affairs
committee of Congress informs me
that the committee agreed to the
drafting of the 1S-year-old boys only
after the army had promised that
they would have a YEAR OF
TRAINING BEFORE BEING
SENT OVERSEAS.
This promise has been broken
and will continue to be broken so
long as parents do not protest.
Bad planning on the part of some
high army officers does not Justify
throwing these young unframed
boys into combat.
T PROTESTED publicly against the
1 drafting of 1S-year-old boys at
the time. | have continued to protest
since but have accomplished nothing.
My experience Of two and half
years in the first war taught me that
few 1S-year-old boys are mature
enough to serve in the army, but
they are going right into the firing
line unless the present plan of the
army is checked.
Do you wish your boys to be we'll
trained before going into action, so
that he will have AT LEAST AN
EVEN CHANCE? If YOU do, you
should write to your United States
senators and congressman at once,
and to your newspapers.
| am sure your senators and con-
gressmen will be most receptive, for
many Of them do not like what is
being done, but hesitate to oppose
army policy publicly without strong
backing.
You must have many friends
whose boys are going in soon. You
may show this letter to any one you
please.
am trying to assure these boys
a chance to meet their enemies in
the field on equal terms. Otherwise
they will be slaughtered wholesale
simply because they HAVE NOT
LEARNED HOW TO DEFEND
THEMSELVES.
Most sincerely,
CHARLES :. TIPPETTS.
