"The Honor of the Army" During the past ten years over 46,000 enlisted men deserted from the United States army, according to Charles Johnson Post in a series oi articles entitled "The Honor of the Army," now appearing serially in "Harper's Weekly." Mr.

Tost attributes a larger part of these desertions

to the regulations under which the men serve in our army. He contends that these rules are

archaic and unjust and that when the men find this out, after they have enlisted, many of them

desert rather than put up with existing condi

tions, considering tnat an army deserter is

looked upon as a criminal under the civil as well

as military laws, and if caught, forfeits his citi zenship and suffers a long term in a federal pen

itentiary, it would look as though Mr. Post were right in his contention that out-of-date rules administered in a partial and unjust manner have a

tgrcat deal to do with this important army ques lion.

Out of the many examples Mr. Post gives to

fortify his argument, the following are typical

and elucidating. Soldiers are tried before courtmartials composed solely of officers for infractions of rules, not crimes, and if found guilty, in many cases, are deprived of their citizenship and sent to federal penitentiaries. For instance, a private convicted of being drunk was sentenced to six months at hard labor in a federal penitentiary, forfeited all pay and allowances and was dishonorably discharged. In this case, the officers composing the court martial were disgracefully or ignorantly unjust as the maximum legal sentence under the army rules and regulations for this offense is six months at hard labor at the army post and $60 fine. In another case, a private was charged with having wasted twenty rounds of pistol ammunition. At the trial he pleaded guilty, but explained that he had left the ammunition in his saddle bags over night and when he remembered to look for it in the morning, discovered it had been stolen. He was sentenced to one year at hard labor in a federal peni

tentiary, forfeited all pay and allowances and was dishonorably discharged. Illustrative of the different situation when officers are on trial before a court martial, a lieutenant of the Coast Artillery, who was found guilty of having been drunk, was simply reprimanded. A captain, who retained in his possession $30 in pay due a soldier who had deserted, when found

out and tried was acquitted. Such illustrations as these, as well as the many others which Mr. Post gives in his articles, certainly show that injustice and partiality are rife in our army. Xo sensible person doubts that under existing world conditions the United States must have an army of a size commensurate with the wealth and importance of the nation. Inasmuch as it has been our national policy to maintain a relatively small standing army, every sensible citizen will realize the absolute necessity of maintaining what army we have on the highest attainable -tandard of efficiency. This cannot be done unless officers and men are actuated by a fine

has no intimates, he seeks no confidence and he

jives none. He does not require advice." Another has written, "Everybody has a mental image of Theodore Roosevelt, not often correct, but, so far as it goes, clear. Everybody knew 'Big Bill Taft' but the President is still an enigma." . He has few intimate friends and indulges very little in the erstwhile social activities of the White House. He puts in a certain amount of time on the golf links each afternoon, always

playing with his private physician. Each morning is devoted to receiving callers who move according to rigid schedule and each evening is pent at home in the bosom of his family, if not n some theater. The President is a constant heater goer. The enigmatic element in Mr. Wilson's character perhaps has been somewhat exaggerated by vVashington observers. Unlike his predecessors, he has taken great care to retain the national point of view. Life in Washington is so absorbing, its round of activities so thrilling, the majority of the Presidents have come to live in Washington with their minds as well as their bodies. But he has succeeded in keeping his mind abroad through all the states. The one characteristic which has struck all observers most forcibly is his unbroken self-discipline and his powers of leadership. "The members of congress do not love him," writes a Washington journalist, "but they do not doubt the quality of the man." He keeps his grip on the administration not through distribution of political patronage, but through sheer superiority of mind and character. The coming year, however, will place a severer test on his ability than the past. The currency

bill and the tariff reduction bill were popular j measures. The party was pledsred to them before i

it went into power. But on the anti-trust bills, the "good roads" bill, the Mexican policy and the Panama tolls question, there is much greater diversity of honest opinion. If President Wilson can disentangle the present situation, especially in regard to Mexico, and can mark as straight a line in that as in dealing with the tar-

If they can rid this city of flies, they will deserve v, monument of bronze, or, what might be more to their liking, another term in office. The fly is one of the deadliest enemies of humanity. He slaughters more people every summer than have so far been killed in the Mexican war. He shortens lives, breaks down human strength and carries on all kinds of devastating work on the quiet. The fewer flies there are in town, the less typhoid. Flies carry typhoid germs around on their feet. The fewer flies, the less disease. If it weren't for the flies, a lot of our doctors would have to go out of business.

to live, you wouldn't believe it at aH. The Belgian hare doesn't belong to the same class as the common ordinary house-fly. It sets the world pace for a rising birth rate.

One way to knock out the fly is to swat himj

before he is born. Kill the early spring breeders and clean up their breeding places and there will be no flies. This is the only way to control the insects because after they have once gotten into the breeding season all the swatters in kingdom come cannot banish them from town.

Even Colonel Harvey, that militant free lance, has been moved to exclaim, "All that has been predicted of the effectiveness of Woodrow Wilson has been realized." Samuel G. Blythe, one of the keenest political students of the country, made a trip across the continent during which he took special pains to ascertain the popular feeling regarding Wilson. "I found an almost universal regard for him," he writes, "an almost universal admiration for him, an almost universal support for him, based on the concrete popular recognition of his honesty of purpose, his power of intellect, his lack of ostentation, his good judgment and his evident determination to carry out the policy he has laid down as essential to the well being of the country, as well as the capacity he has shown for taking the initiative. The people as a whole are for Mr. Wilson."
