But it is pos- sible that it will show much greater results than are anticipated.

It has at the same time resulted in a setting forth of the conditions which are existing in the army today and a presentation of the needs for reme ing the situation, which might not have been possible in any other way. It has resulted in greater publicity than might otherwise have resulted had the same story been fold to the government officials alone, but 1t is possible that this very publicity will be the means of bringing the peo- ple and through them their represen- tatives to a realization of their sense of duty.
