IN AN OBSERVATION
PLANE
MANY of our soldiers have return
pd to us with bitterest words
for American officers. Iii the nature
of, tilings we cannot investigate the
truth of these complaints, but inas
much as they co-incide with condi
tions in the American army before
. the war we are justified in accepting
them as the basis for criticism and
i for a reform which will make our
army democratic. Already, after
j years of tyranny and in the face of
the administration's chastisement of
i those who have raised their voices
for fairness, an attempt is being made
i in congress to revise the rules and
i practices of courts martial so that
; the system shall shed the character
i of czarism and take on the character
of our democracy.
When our soldiers went to France
they found the French army demo
cratic. The officer treated his sol
diers as his brothers. They were at
hbeity to mingle with the officers off
duty and to assert their dignity as
citizens of a republic. Not so wtih
our own men in a land as free as
ours, if Ave may believe the stories
brought back by the doughboys.
I heard the other day of a remark
able address made by a French gen
eral to American students of the mili
tary art who were about to take po
sitions as officers in the ranks of the
French. I am told that this is what
he said:
"Gentlemen, you are now fitted in
a military sense to take charge of the
French soldiers whom you are about
to command. But as you go forth to
exercise control I feel that I owe a
duty to you and to myself to give you
a warning. You must not treat the
French soldiers as your American of
ficers treat the American soldiers. If
you do, they will rebel. They are not
accustomed to such treatment. They
expect to be accorded the considera
tion that French officers give them. I
assure you that if you give them that
consideration they will not take ad
vantage of it. They will understand;
they will do their duty and you will
have no : "ason to regret that you
have "u my advice."
The erican officer was trained
to be a gentleman in an ancient
school, but there was something fun
damentally -rong with the school and
the officei often developed into a
snob. While life in these United
States was generally free from snob
bery except in certain exclusive
circles where idleness and vice
asserted supreme sway snob
bery was practiced as a fine
ait in the army. If it was not a
part of the training and we think it
was not it was an inheritance from
European social conditions of other
centuries. It came to us from the
aristocratic legime of the British
rrmy in which, until recently, petted
lordlings were accorded the tradi
tional privileges of the military caste.
We perpetuated that caste in our own
army. However charming the fine cul
ture of the West Pointer he was out
of tune with the spirit of his own
country. He was hedged about by a
barb-wire entanglement of aristocratic
traditions. He was required to be
bath a snqb and a tyrant in his treat
ment of his men. They were placed
on a social grade, compared with him,
which about corresponded to the
grade a negro occupied with refer
ence to his master in the days of
slavery.
Individual preferences, genial dispo
sitions and whatever measure of de
mocracy was communicated from the
body of the American public through
the Insulation that separated the mili
tary aristocracy from the civilians,
tended to mitigate the rigors of abso
lutism In our army. But all to fre
quently the martinet, the scion of a
brutal line, the alcohol addict or the
officer with the soul of a stunted flea,
aggravated this rule of master and
slave.
When our boya first wont to France,
I am told, conditions were not so bad.
They were freely entertained by the
French. Everywhere they were treat
ed with courtesy and consideration,
but at length the snobbery of their
officers, of the American military
caste, began to interfere with this
frank and human intercourse. Today,
wherever the doughboy goes, he finds
the sign: "Reserved for officers." He
cannot associate with his officers on
the same democratic terms that the
poilu associates with his officers.
The American military caste the
comparison is not mine is like the
Prussian military caste. In France
our soldiers are often told by the
Frenchmen that they are troated no
better by their officers than is the
Prussian soldier by his officers. It is
an exaggeration, of course. Our of
ficers are not on a plane with those
