to the Presidents call, 4 IL doubtful e
the system under which so many men
have been withdrawn from civil life
without being introduced into active
military life, is to be relied upon. It Is
scarcely possible that 80 many recruits
would again aock 70 the colors, now
that an the martial spirits of the coun-
try know the long and tedious process
to which modern fighting blood has 70
be submitted"
No depreciation Of the patriotism OF
the men who volunteered Is intended in
this, but we must assume. in order to
accept II without depreelating the ar
dency Of the patriotism Of the men, that
they would have to know that they
would not be needed. When he volun-
teered in response to the Presidents
call each man supposed, naturally that
his regiment would, after It's efficiency
was proven. be sent to the front; he
could not foresee that the war would be
70 short. or that contest between
Spain and the United States would be
settled with go little land fighting. Nor
under war conditions again could any
one be gifted with such foresight We
believe that in any war with a foreign
power the response would be just as
prompt as in this one. The patriotism
Of America doesn't wait to ascertain
whether the war viii be long or short
before volunteering. The dlsappolnt-
ments under the present circumstances
would hardly have the effect of maxi
ing 1t hard for the government to obtain
ready response for troops at any time
IN the future.
The Press, in It's article, however,
makes the strong point that wearisome
calls upon the youth of the country,
"involvinga tremendous arrangement of
private afFairs of thousands of men, and
lavish expenditures, among officers es-
pecially. OF valuable private time.
should be avoided as much as possible.
This merely for the preservation Of the
volunteer spirit. for the volunteers
should be a real reserve. and not
an inactive part Of an active army"
In this connection It is reported that
some OF the officers of the First West
West Virginia regiment will resign, now
that It is assured the regiment will not
be called into active service for fighting
purposes. The officers, tits stated, viii
do so because of the private business
at home which needs their attention.
The point made by the Press is thus
made good as to one Of our own regI-
ments.
Doubtless the department win exempt
the men in the various camps who will
not be needed for service after peace is
formally declared from further re-
straint. The suggestion is made that
the volunteer spirit might be weakened
by the assignment OF these men to gar.
rlson duty in our new possessions and
dependencies, and to take advantage OF
the two year clause. This suggestion
Is made In support of the proposition OF
recruiting the regular army to a larger
force. to be held so long as necessary,
and until all questions growing out of
the war are settled, and thus avoid. as
the Press remarks. "a continued draft
on the patriotism of the volunteers for
camp duty at home or abroad"

SECOND DEGREE ASSAULT.
M. Rodgers Threw . Heavy Hammer at
some Boys.

NJ. Rodgers Is the very-much Ameri-
canized name of a member of the Arab
ian settlement in East Park alley, who
is having his share of troubles of late.
Some time & there was trouble In
Rodgers family. caused by the Don
Juan of the colony paying too much at
tention to a member of the household.
resulting in a series of conflicts which
gave the police department a deal of
annoyance. Rodgers always seemed
to be the agrieved party. Now he Is
in Jail with the serious charge of as
sault in the second degree against MIN,
because he allowed his temper to get
the better OF his judgment when a
crowd of boys annoyed lin. He struck
m of them on the head with a ham
mer.
Rodgers was busying himself yester-
day afternoon mailing up the fence
about his premises, a cabin in he 800
block Of East Park alley. when a crowd
OF boys commenced annoying him by
INDUCING i'm a lot of boyish pranks at
his expense. Rodgers stood the teasing
for a while. but when n of the young
sters grabbed his hat and ran away
with 1t. he lost his temper and hurled
h hammer he was using at the crowd.
John Kennedy, the 9-year-old son of
Martin Kennedy, who lives in the
neighborhood, happened to be the luck
less n to stop the missile. He had
not been taking part in h teasing. but
was in the crowd and paid the penalty,
as usual. Of being in bad company.
The lad was not seriously hurt. but
the blow raised a lump as big as a fist
IN the back of his head and cut a gash
in his scalp. The hammer handle struck
his ear. causing 1t to swell to several
times its ordinary proportions. While
Rodgers doubtless did not intend to
seriously hurt any of the boys. and as a
matter Of fact. did not. still. his Of
Tense was viewed as a grave one. for
the reason that, had the hammer not
hit the boy a glancing blow. his skull
would probably ave been fractured
and he might have been killed. For
this reason. when the attention OF the
police was called to the AFFAIR. Rodg-
ers was arrested by Officer Wilson and
locked up at the county jail for assault
in the second degree.
