They need no urging to stir them on,
They yearn for no battle cry,
At the word that their country calls for

And the south returns the cheer.

For hearts are atune In every breast
IT'S a nation answering here.
II Is elbow to elbow, and knee to knee.
One land for each and all.
And the veterans eyes see their children

To answer their country's call.

as at the beginning OF their military ca
reer. body OF soldiers that Southern
California may Justly feel proud Of.
The traces of sickness, hardship and
suffering are plainly apparent in many
faces and forms. Men who entered the
service in perfect health now give evil
dence of weary days in hospital, In COM
batting ailments that overpowered the
twenty-five comrades. Some show
symptoms Of disease implanted during
those months Of misery, and, In short,
it may be said that a considerable per-
centage of the returning soldiers give
evidence of the suffering they endured
in the camp at San Francisco.
There is hope that the mystery about
the shameful treatment of this regiment
may eventually be cleared up. If house
of representatives should be elected next
month with sufficient courage and de-
termination to probe the management
of the war department to the bottom.
then we may learn why the Seventh
regiment was apparently made target
for official abuse. There is no hope for
any light on the subject as result of
the alleged investigation now in progress
at Washington. 1t is not improbable
that the matter may be taken UP In the
next session of congress, but the person.
mel of the present house would not war
rant the prospect of thorough and i'm
partial investigation.
The Seventh regiment was one Of the
very first to respond to the presidents
imbued with degree of patriotic en-
thusiasm that no other regiment could
have surpassed. The high encomium
they received from General Miller. when
leaving San Francisco, proves that for
soldierly qualities they were as fine
body Of volunteers as the government
had in the service.
When the regiment reported for duty
at San Francisco, and received its arms
and equipment, it was supposed, of
course, that 1t would be one of the first
to see active service. How 1t was kept
there, waiting in eager expectation from
day to day, as the weeks passed into
months, is known to everybody in South
ern California. The consequences of
neglect and privation. the suffering,
sickness and death. are all sadly remem-
bered now.
The responsibility for this outrageous
treatment of our soldiers, for this in
famous outrage upon Southern Califor-
MIA, must be traced and fixed, sooner or
later There must be a day of reckoning
with the person or persons accountable
for the merciless persecution that the
Seventh regiment suffered throughout
it's term of service. There is not much
doubt in the mind of any intelligent per-
son in this section as to the place where
the culpablity lies. We must not rest,
however, in the effort to bring the whole
matter to light and to see that the author
of the outrage ultimately meets with
just retribution.

The Navy's Advantage

When Dewey cut the wires he was abso-
lutely free to do his duty without inter-
ference from Washington. And 80 was
every admiral the moment he found himself
at sea. But, more important still, there
we're no "Sons Of Somebody" imposed upon
the naval commanders. From top to bot
tom the navy was officered and manned by
men who knew their business, men who
had been carefully trained in It's proper
doing. Politics did not debauch the navy.
Patronage did not cripple It, And 80 its
work was done with a precision that meant
victory always.-New York World.

ALGER'S ADMISS.
IONS

The most interesting development that
has yet appeared. resulting from the
war inquiry, is Secretary Alger's ac-
acknowledgement of his animosity towards
General Miles. 1t is shown by doc nments
submitted to the inquiry board by Alger
Tampa, before the Santiago expedition
sailed, between Generals Miles and
Shafter, in which the latter was sus-
tanned by the secretary. The antag-
great that Alger issued orders to the
effect that General Wheeler should as
sumo command in Santiago, In case of
General Skaters disability. General
by Alger and minor officers were IA
vored.
There is nothing specially new in these
developments, but 1t is the first intima-
tion the public has had, direct from the
secretary that the Santiago campaign
was characterized by personal jealousies
among men at the head of the army
There Is nothing thus far rejecting upon
General Miles. In fact, the whole trouble
seems to have resulted from Alger's de-
termination to hold Miles back and pre-
vent him from winning the glory of the
campaign.
Just enough of the inside history of
the war management is thus divulged
to make the public eager for the whole
disclosure. II is not probabl that much
more such outgiving will be allowed to
appear, however, until after the elec-
