TWO SYSTEMS COMPARED.
The British war office is reported
to be again at its wits' end to secure
recruits for the army, a condition
that frequently exists in peace time
in Great Britain. With the immense
population the country possesses,
much of which is in excess of the
productive capacity of. the home
islands, it would, on the face of it,
appear remarkable that so few young
men are willing to enter the military
service. A glance. into the existing
conditions, however, shows several
reasons why the better element in
the British manhood shuns a military
career.
Small pay, of course, Js the first
item which may be numbered in the
list of objections. Next, there is
the absence of a chance for pro
motion. Rare, indeed, are the in
stances in the British army where
men from the ranks have been given
commissions. Between "the enlisted
roan and the officer the breach is as
broad as centuries of tradition can
make it. No matter how excellent
the soldier may be or how fitted he
is for command, a commission is not
for him. The British race is growing
more democratic every year, and
the young Briton no longer accepts
with the grace his father did the
consequences of lowly birth. He
wants a chance to work his way
upward and sees no opportunity to
do so in the army. It is not a lack
of. martial spirit, that deters him
from entering the service of the
queen, nor is it a lack ot patiiotism,
for the Briton is every whit as fond
of fighting and as true to his country
as ever, but, minor objections aside,
the idea of entering a service where
be will ever be ranked as an inferior
being and subject to severe discipline
to him is most repulsive,
i Low though the pay of American
soldiers is, it is far better than that
given British soldiers, as well.it may
be, considering the fact that our &rmy
is small in comparison with that of
Great Britain, and in-addition such
allowances are made the American
soldier as to insure him a comfortable
living and a chance to save a little
of hia pay. In addition, promotion
from the ranks is frequent. To a
bright and studious young soldier
the way is open to rise to the highest
Tank. It is coming to be recognized
in the army that while the military
academy is necessary for the technical
instruction of the greater portion of
the officers of the army, some of the
most excellent officers come from
the ranks. Officers " themselves rec
ognize that the training of actual
service in the ranks is splendid prep
aiation for command. This is proven
by the fact that- the sons of. many
'officers who themselves are "West
Pointers, enlist - with their fathers'
consent in the ranks and work . their
way up. . . . .
This system gives the army the
"best material to be had. No. longer
can the riff raff of humanity enter,
the army. At every recruiting office
in the country the percentage of ap
plicants rejected on examination is
large. To. belong to the regular
army of the United States .is some
thing worth striving for. : Never,
under this, system, will the nation
lack recruits.
Perhaps the British war office will,
in time, cast away, tradition and
adopt a similar system. When it
does it is safe to say recruiting will
be easy. Spokesman-Review.
