Duluth gave her boys a royal Godspeed
Thursday night Of last week. It was a
! farewell such as Duluth has never seen
before. 1t was farewell that will linger
long In the hearts of all who took part.
1t will go with the Duluth soldier boys
wherever duty calls them, and nerve
them to do their best in whatever cir
cimstances they find themselves. If the
worst comes to the worst, and the legions
of America and Spain meet on the bat
| tlefield, when the stars and stripes arc
waving defiance to the blood-spattered
yellow of the Spanish banner, when steel
meets steel and lead Is seeking victims
in the din of battle, that farewell will be
with the Duluth boys then. 1t will cheer
them on to do their noblest, and Duluths
boys will give a good account of them
selves on that day. The memory of the
farewell will remain in Duluth, too. If
the word comes that the Duluth troops
are engaged in battle, If it is told that
some of them have fallen, the people of
Duluth will remember with a pleasure
that will soften the sorrow that when
their boys left for the front they took
with them the hearty Godspeed of all Du-
luth.
