Show SAFETY FIRST MILITARISTS Investigation has brought out the fact that a great number of men in this country aspiring for military honors have been carefully playing their hands to draw places of safety in connection connec-tion with the war. .These are men who for some reason have a "pull" with the powers that be, and they have used this to draw positions where burning powder and whirring shells would not . molest their sorry nerves. t These are the men who desired all the . arlory of the war, but wanted to make sure that they would be -... stationed in the safety zone. They should be smoked out and .placed in the front ranks. No man is entitled to the honors of the war who is not willing will-ing to face the bullets and die, if need be, for his country. The physical coward is not entitled to hold an honorary position in the army or navy. Men who are entrusted with these positions should be real men, and in order to be real men they must possess physical physi-cal courage and stand ready to face any danger or hardship- that at private soldier might have to face. . It is to be hoped that the investigation now under way will bring to light those who have worked their way into soft places - and that they will be assigned to proper positions. |
