SELECTIVE DRIFT
Washington, April 12.—"The re"j
suit of niy visit to 15 of the lt» .Na- |
ticiul Army ruiitonuittits throughout
the couacry yields ample testimony I
t. the fact that the selective draft
iias fully vindicated itself," said
former President Taft in h>s lecture
b> fere the National Geographical
Society in Washi*glon. ".No filler
body of men was ever formed into
regimen's of soldiers anil the con
dition of the men in those camps
to-day is a liigh tribute to the Xa
t'ou's loving care."
•'The generous interest in the
boys taken by the citizens in towns
adjacent to the cantonments had
added much to the happiness of the
encamped boys," said Mr. Taft, "and
nr. Army catuj^ in the world were
evtr more free from drunkenness
aud vice."
.Mr. Taft expressed himself us
impressed with the love of singing
evidenced among' the men and its
cheering effect. Where the men
ha\e the best singing leaders lie
found the brightest men. The pref
erence of both soldiers £nd their
audiences in the cantonments is for
lhe lighter war so«ss of the day,
wi»h their stirring lilting melodies.
