Show B As Soldiers Rate MISS ADDAM'S story is a reminder of what General Pleasanton once said. He was fl speaking of the soldiers in the armies of the Civil B war and said: "Pick up a volunteer army in the B United States and half their number will be nat- B ural soldiers. There will never be any trouble B with them. Half the remainder can be trained H to become good soldiers. The rest had better, m so soon as tried for a few days, be sent homo. B They never can become of any use as soldiers m and while held in tho army will be a source of M weakness rather than strength, for if ever put M to the test they will fail and their failure might m cause the sacrifice of any army." B We suspect that makes clear the real facts. |
