There are statisti cians who will indignantly deny this, but this is because they'ride automobiles at night and do not know how the other 49/50 of us live: Our standing army consists of up wards of ' 5,000,000 people; Thanks to American chivalry "most of these are men. • Some of u9 'stand only a* mile or so each day, while others' stand ten miles a day, and have to" transfer three times in the bargain. The#discipline of the American' standing army is magnificent. This is because, it is drilled regularly, twice a day. Every evening in every American city, whole cars full of our standing army can be seen obeying commands. After a man has* be longed for a while he answers the commands: "Step:lively," "Move up in front," "Take the next car," like a well oiled machine. Many members of our " standing army are splendid athletes. Noth ing is finer, for the muscles than standing army drill. A veteran will carry four bundles and a garden rake under one arm, hang from a strap with the other, and hold * up two large men on his feet for hours at a time. The American standing army is very useful. It is used to build cost >y mansions and provide titled sons in-law and other trinkets for street car magnates. When a magnate wants a new yacht or . -47 !

New York is the only city where the standing army has a regular waiting list each night. This is because women are allowed to be long to it, however, v Contrary to custom in other coun tries, the American standing army draws no pay. On the contrary it pays for the privilege of standing. This leads to the belief that the army would not be worth- two bits in time of war. An army which pays 5 cents per head for the privilege of hang ing from a strap, and: being punched in the back by a conductor, would probably thank the enemy with tears in its eyes while it was being kicked off the field of battle.
