The existence of a lively military
spirit among Americans was made
manifest at the outbreak of the civil
war The most eager fighters were
the volunteers. But civil war IL
not the best, nor good, test of the
military spirit. 1t takes a war with
q foreign power to bring fully into
play this quality in a race or ma.
tion. 1t is apparent that if we
should have trouble with any other
country the government could brine
out million volunteers in woel.
The American people may not have
the old Scotch zeal for fightinr--
they would not rather fight than
eat.but undoubtedly they have a
warlike enthusiasm fully equal to
mat OF any other modern nation. The
rush OF men to volunteer for service
on the lately purchased warships OF
the Brazilian government fitted ont
IN the port of New York, is an illus,
tratlon OF this spirit. The lieuten.
ant who had the shipping of the men
IN charge turned hundreds away.
