Every consideration demands imper-
atively, now that we are embarked in
war, that it be pushed vigorously from
the start. This talk Of waiting until
fall, until Cuba becomes comparatively
healthful, has no justification. Such
considerations did not prevent Lincoln.
in 1862, from sending Buffers expedi-
ton into the swamps Of Louisiana,
more dangerous than are the uplands
of Cuba. Then our army had no SAM
tary arrangements such as 1t now has
Doctors knew little and cared less for
the treatment Of soldiers suffering
from climatic diseases. They dosed
them with quinine and fed them on
rations, while they and their staffs con-
sumed the supplies the sanitary COM
mission sent out for the boys. There
was no Red Cross then, with it's or
ganization Of trained nurses. There
was dearth Of woman's nursing" but
the army of the Gulf managed to do
it's work.
The administration should realize
that the statement comes from reliable
Republican sources that the war was
intended to help It's party over the
fall elections. 1t should realize that ev-
cry delay will add confirmation to the
belief in the accuracy Of the statement.
If the invasion of Cuba is put off until
fall, it will amount to a certainty that
all this sacrifice Of life and treasure
had it's origin in party emergencies.
And, If that belief becomes general,
the move will be blocked. There will
be a reaction that will make the house
Democratic, change that has much
to commend it. We prefer, however,
that the responsibility for the war
shall rest with the administration that
initiated it. 1t will have the support
OF Democrats. Their representatives
will vote money and bonds to carry it
on. But they demand, and have a
right to demand. that there shall be
no dallying, no playing politics, no po-
ltlcal diversion. 'On to Havana"

line Of action suggested. but it's field
of action will be beyond the local linz

1t will not be long before there will
be coming back from the front some of
these boys disabled by disease or

There should be here an organization
to receive them, take care of them,
aid them in getting to their homes.
1t should have definite location, quar-
tiers where men could be lodged and
fed, nurses to attend them If i'll, sur
geons to dress their wounds, physicians
to treat them if sick. The work should
be taken up by a special organization
or assumed by those already formed,
such as this Red Cross society, the
Woman's Relief Corps of the Grand
Army, and others.
When the Massachusetts troops en-

Ii Recalls 1901.

The scenes on our streets yesterday
morning brought wildly to memory the
scenes in every city in the land during
the eager, enthusiastic April days Of
1861. The veterans of that war felt
again the thrill that coursed their veins
then as they marched the streets of the
cities on their way to the front, as they
stood and watched the companies come
in and march UP to the place of regi-
mental formation. The drums stirred
their blood to action again, as they did
then. and they envied the boys who
are now repeating that highest evil
dence of devotion to land, which they
gave then, the proffer of life itself.
If the experience of the veterans
tinged with sadness their feelings as
they saw these young men going out
to encounter the hardships of active
service, no such foreknowledge de-
pressed the children who deserted the
schools and thronged the streets to see
the soldiers who were going out to fight
the Spaniards. To them the scene ap-
pealed strongly. There is enough of
the barbarian left under the veneer of
civilization to make fascinating to the
young especially the sight of warriors
going forth to the fight. To them the
fighter is the hero, and fighting the one
embodiment of patriotism.
If any Of the three thousand men
who are under arms here filing Mime
sofas quota of the call for troops think
that they are engaged in an outing, a
picnic, they should disabuse themselves
Of the idea. They will find soldering
in its every phase hard work. They
will find it no easy matter to acquire
an education in the school of the SOL
der. There will have to. be steady
drilling to teach them the manual of
arms and the company and regimental
evolutions. When campaigning begins,
especially under the conditions of eli
mate where they will serve, they will
need every grain of sand they have to
meet the requirements. The fare will
be plain. but nutritious: but army
movements do not stop for the cuisine,
and the earth Is oftenest the only mat
tress and the sky the only roof If these
experiences are expected and visions Of
a good time discarded, it will save these
boys many an hour of intense blues
and inconsistencies, conditions predis-
posing to more serious sickness.
