The army has been stunned by the faot that tbe government sees fit to go over its head to ftomm "popular" forcea.

This move, added to the faot that the army has only seen small portions of the recently arrived arms, convinces good officers and men that they are being by-passed to serve nefarious government plana for national and international treason.
