Those three years, in most bovs’ lives,-^neke a lot of| difference. At 18 they are physically as mature as they ever will be, and are just beginning to find their way around in an adult world. Most boys need discipline more between 18 and 21 than before or alter.

POLITICS—Gone One reason I think the system of conscription or selective draft is a better way to raise an army than the volunteer system is that there’s no politics in it. I grew up in an" era when the politics of the whol^ na tion was controlled by men whose principal capital was their military record as volunteer officers. There were ro many generals ih public life that a politician* who was able to brag that he was only a corporal but had lost both legs in war became a national figure and was appointed commissioner of pensions. “Private John Allen” of Mississip pi however, outmatched Corporal Tanner of Pennsylvania. He came to congress in the 1880’s boasting that he was the only man below the rank of brigadier-general who fought in the Confederate armies; and as Washington had never heard of any body fro mthe South who didn’t claim to have Seen at least a colonel, the boys on Capitol Hill took John .
