Wilson Administration Penalized Patriotism
An editorial argues President Wilson’s June mobilization of the National Guard and border preparations functioned as compulsory service. It contends 135,000 citizen soldiers were mobilized to patrol the border and train for war, while the administration withheld full figures and misrepresented the mission. The piece condemns perceived deceit and faults the policy for punishing patriotic volunteers.
