On/in the/at basis/nn of/in the/at long/jj chronicle/nn of/in military/jj history/nn Funston/np and/cc his/pp$ brethren/nns assumed/vbd that/cs the/at issue/nn was/bedz insoluble/jj and/cc that/cs anyone/pn interested/vbn in/in a/at mission/nn like/cs Fosdick's/np$ was/bedz an/at impractical/jj idealist/nn or/cc a/at do-gooder/nn ./.


	During/in the/at brief/jj Mexican/jj venture/nn Fosdick's/np$ report/nn to/in the/at Secretary/nn-tl recommended/vbd a/at definite/jj stand/nn by/in the/at War/nn-tl Department/nn-tl against/in the/at saloon/nn and/cc the/at excesses/nns of/in prostitution/nn ./.
