AN the Boys Have Como to War.


New York Sun: Over on the west
side of the city, where most of the
armories are, the boys have caught the
war fever" with vengeance. When
school hours end, then the boys gather
and put on their uniforms which are
something great" Paper caps, leg
g1ngs made from brown paper or cotton
cloth, sticks for guns or swords, and
good strong voice make up the equip
ment. Then the company starts out to
parade. Fire crackers, torpedoes, flags
and other martial Accomplishments are
carried in abundance, and as the
youngsters swing down the side streets
they make noise enough to stir the
blood of fish. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to see half a dozen companies of
nifty or seventy-fiye boys each parading
In different side streets within an hour.
No distractions can be placed in the
streets, or there would surely be fort
at every other corner in the city. But
up in the less thickly settled districts
that Is different. If the Spanish ever
landed in New York they would find
at least one formidable fort confronting
them at Kingston road and the boule-
ward. Up on a high and large rock at
the intersection of those highways
there is monster fort, builC by the
boys. The Notifications are at least
twenty-five by thirty feet in size. The
ramparts are built of pillaged stove
iron and scrap iron, with guns made of
sewer pipe and stove pipe frowning
from every embrasure. The place is
called Fort Washington" as one may
see by sign on the ramparts. Then
thereB,re other signs, all neatly let
tered, such as:
Dewey? guess we do"
"On to Cuba"
Down with SPAIN"
A big American flag waves over the
fort all day and is hauled down every
night with due ceremony.
