Tho Army Correspondent.

The valor Of the soldier is naturally
the primary fact in the public eye in
the exigencjo. Of a campaign. He is the
essential factor in fighting. and his he
roic courage deserves all the recognition
It gets. But not less courageous than
the soldier is the work Of the efficient
war correspondent, who goes to the
front in the interests Of the great news
paper and keeps the world in quick
touch with the details of the fighting
To accomplish this the writer must be
In the very van with the fighting men.
exposed to the same dangers, enduring
the same hardships, inspired by the
same undaunted hardihood. Nor has he
the moral advantage Of the soldier, who
in the passionate excitement Of firing
and charging with his fellows feels an
enduring flip, which makes every gal
liant drop of blood tingle. Even the
timid man CLOVIS on such occasions.
The correspondent, on the other hand,
must draw his inspiration as noncom-
blatant from his own sense Of duty and
the native we'll of courage bubbling in
his heart
The actual exploits of such daring
spirits as Forbes, McGahan, Millet,
Crawford and others in getting, prepar-
ing and transmitting war news, often
under circumstances Of the most extreme
difficulty, have conquered the warmest
encomiums of military commanders.
Yet these very generals have in many
instances frowned at the presence of
press representatives for professional
reasons, and admiration has been ex.
torted from them only by the most con-
vincing facts. 1t must be borne in mind,
too, that when the soldier rests after
the tolls Of the march and the battle the
correspondent must needs toll on in
spite of aching brain and muscle to
complete his reports and has often then
ridden for many miles in the dead Of
night to find telegraph station. In no
phase of army experience are the high
est qualities Of inflexible will and cour-
age more constantly taxed. In the pres
ent campaign, since the fighting actual.
ly began by sea and land, the American
army correspondents have splendidly
sustained the traditions of their craft
in the excellence of their work and the
intrepidity with which they have
plunged into the thickest Of the fight
ing to insure the accuracy Of their bat
tie pictures. And when death has come
in the discharge Of duty they have
faced the grim specter like heroes.
What finer thing, for example, could
be than the quiet fortitude of Edward
Marshall before Santiago, who, almost
shot to death by two Mauser bullets.
went on debating dispatch to his
newspaper! All honor to these valiant
spirits! Such heroism inspires even sol.
diers themselves. -
