- Description:
- The document is a response to a man named Max Koesler who is opposed to the extension of the Draft Law and compulsory military training in peace-time. The writer, George B. Schwabe, acknowledges Keesler's opinion and suggests that the voluntary system should be given a fair trial before considering any extension of the draft. Schwabe also shares his own experience of having four sons in the service during the war, expressing sympathy for Keesler's loss of one of his sons. Schwabe emphasizes the importance of offering better pay to encourage voluntary enlistment in the military.
