Denver, May 2O.-A special to the Re-

says:
In the memory of Colorado soldiers
the village Of Wadsworth, Nevada,
will lingcr ms the place which has thus
far afforded them most pleasure on
their tedious journey to the coast. The
first train arrived there at o'clock
this morning, and, thanks to the fore
thought of Colonel Hale stop OF an
hour and half was made. This time
was utilized by the men for an outing,
which gave them an opportunity TO
stretch their legs. First of all, coffee
was served to the companies in the
cars and several expert foragers in
duced the guardian of cream supply at
the coffee house to contribute some
free OF charge.
When the men had secured breakfast
in the cars, guard was posted around
the train at distance of seventy-hve
feet. and for the frs, time on the trip
everybody was allowed to leave the
cars and stroll about. of course, within
the prescribed limits Soon they
poured out of the cars as unit to talk
with the local belle. exchange news
with the Thirteenth infantry. Minneso-
II volunteers. who had arrived shortly
before on II solid train of Wagner
sleepers, and most of all to get excr-
else.
Company A went through the setting
up exercises in front of the main hotel
to the unbounded astonishment of the
natives: others talked with and pho
tographed number of Piute Indians
who had come into town from their
reservation, miles away. The First reg
iment band played patriotic airs and
everybody was happy. But the best
diversion of all was the chance to get
n bath. For this purpose as many men
as desired We're taken down TO the
Truckee river. which runs through the
outskirts of Wadsworth. As the in
habitants We're not supposed to be look
ing, the soldiers went in for a short
plunge bath.
The men. having become accustomed
to the inconvenience of travel on day
coaches, slept soundly last night. Their
health is good and the hospital corps

There is no more mischievous idea
than that often put forward. even by
men OF intelligence. that an occasional
war is good thing for nation, or for
this nation. to rouse its patriotic spirit,
develop It's heroic virtues. and clarity
its moral atmosphere. Exactly the re-
verse is true. War is not an exaltation.
II is a debauch. 1t not only impairs
the material welfare of nation, but
It degrades its moral tone as well.
Most Of the industrial and social evils
from which this nation suffers to-day
are legacy from its last war. Another
war for whatever purpose would add
to them. and infiict Injuries upon the
national character that whole gener-
alton could not repair.
