Itself resolute to follow up the malefac-

deserving of sympathy than the sons

My son may die or he may live; If he

others have died. and I shall be just as
desrous to see punishment inflicted on
the guilty. This is not a personal mat
ter; 1t Is a national wrong and disgrace,
and should be dealt with from the ma
tional point Of view. Those who had no
boys at the front should be as eager to
see justice done as those who had. And
those who have received, in return for
the living youth they saw march away,
a dead body, slain, not by the enemy in
battle, but by the enemy at home, should
permit themselves to be actuated by no
motive of private revenge. Justice, not
revenge, is what we want; the justice
of the law. impartially and .impersonally
administered. We want no more than
that, but we want no less; and 1 trust
that those to whom authority in this
country has been delegated may, for
their own sakes, be under no delusions
as to that fact.-Julian Hawthorne in

he thinks, or hopes, that when the boys
are safe at home popular indignation
will simmer down. The happiness will
not be dashed a jot by the thought of
all those "boys" who will never recover,
and never go home, because they are
dead through his corruption or incom-
petence. or those Of his subordinates
whom he appointed. He is cheerful
about them, because they "are things of
the past"
But it may happen that when the boys
have recovered and are safe at home
Mr.. Alger will find his happiness rudely
disturbed Until they are mustered out
of the service Of the United States they
cannot bring charges against their supe-
riors but when they are once more free
citizens they can do it, and l have rea-
son to think they will. Then we shall
learn, among other things, the true basis
of the charges made against the conduct
on the field Of battle of the Seventy-fl first
volunteer regiment; we shall hear who
were missing" on that day of San Juan.
and why. We shall discover who were
the officers who systematically robbed
the men under their charge. and treated
them, not like soldiers, but like dogs and
beasts of burden. Who appointed those
officers? Who supported them? Who
screens them now? Let us have their
records. not as they appear on the doc
tored official returns, but in the living
witnesses of the men who saw their cow
ardice before the enemy and their crimes
in camp. There are many thousand such
men; they are not all dead; they have
not all been bought off nor intimidated.
They will bear testimony and their tes-
timony will be true.
But supposing that Mr.. Alger Is right
in his surmse that all will be forgiven
and forgotten and that the American
people will share his opinion that no one
can be held accountable, that investi-
cation will not help any and that what
is past should be ignored, because mat
ters have improved under the fear Of
punishment. Supposing we were to find
ourselves confronted with another war?
When the president called for 100000 or
300, 900 volunteers to fight against Spain
he got them sooner than he could use
them. Does he think he could get them
again today, If the outrages which have
been committed on them are allowed to
go uninvestigated and unpunished?
Does he think he can raise an army
whose deadliest foes are found in their
own camps, on their own soil? If he
does. I am not Of his opinion.

are rotten places in our community, they
want them shown up and cut out-not
enameled over and denied. They desire
health, not hypocrisy. And they would
rather see thousand scoundrels, cow
ards and incompetents hanged, shot or
sent to Jail or other disgrace than go
before the world with a clean bill of
health which is a lie. They care not
whether the office of the culprit be high
or low: let him suffer impartial justice
for proved cause.
Mr.. Alger went to Camp Wikoff be-
cause, in my opinion, he was afraid to
stay away. He made haste to divert
public anger from himself and from
those for whose malfeasance in office
he is responsible. because he was re-
sponsible for their appointments. He
said smooth things and nice things; en-
larged furloughs and courted popularity
with the men whom he and his subordi-
mates had brought to the threshold of
death; but of those whom he had pushed
across that threshold, he says, "investi-
cations will not help matters any; they
are things of the past" His are the con-
duct and words of the overseer who has
maltreated and robbed the servants
when the master calls him to account.
He is grieved, he is regretful, he will
make all amends; he loves those poor
servants and will do anything for them;
but he hopes he need not deny that he
is wholly innocent of blame for their
condition. No one is to blame; orders
were mislaid or misunderstood. and the
men are themselves largely accountable
for their own condition, because they
did not take proper precautions to pro-
tect their health. But, says Mr.. Alger,
'it Is impossibmle to fix the blame on
any responsible source. We cannot, we
do not, find any army officers at ia ,lt-
only men who are employees of the steaA--
ship companies, and whom we cannot
compel to answer" And he adds Il
am not disposed to criticise in individ-
ual instances, because during the past
two days there has been a great change
for the better at the camp" Yes; the
rascals stopped stealing and bullying
when the constable's lantern was turned
on them, but shall they therefore be ex-
cused for what they did just before? l
find one honest sentence in this inter-
view with Mr.. Alger, and that is one
which he meant dishonesty. He said:

in America when all these sick boys have
recovered and are safe in their homes

''The Guilty Persons Should Be Pun

Department and Going Down"

To the Editor-Sir: In common with
some million others, read in your paper
of this date an interview with Mr.. Alger
secretary of war, regarding the condi-
ton of things at Camp Wikoff and other
camps, and in the ships which carried
our men from Cuba hither. Mr.. Alger
said, among other things: "Investiga-
tions will not help matters any. OF
course there have been mistakes-grave
mistakes. I realize that; we all realize
it. But . they are things Of the
past; we must give our attention to the
important work at hand"
From what I have been able to gather
of Mr.. Alger's character, from his acts
during this war, his remarks, as quoted
are just what I should have expected
of him. Whether he Is corrupt or merely
incompetent, it is not for me to say;
trust we shall know all before long. But
his own words show him to be yet un-
conscious of the full seriousness Of his
position and of the nature of the feeling
in this country about what has been done
and not done to our soldiers. He wants
to smooth things over and hush them up.
So does every one in any way connected
with the scandals and outrages that have
occurred But the relatives and friends
Of the soldiers who have suffered do not
wish them smoothed over, hushed up or
explained away. They want the guilty
persons punished, beginning with the
head of the war department., If he be
guilty, and going down to the steward of
the Mobile, if he be guilty. When 1 say

diers," l mean, of course. every honest

impliedly, that should the truth about
these outrages come out America would
be discredited. But our people have
never believed that the credit which
comes from hiding crimes is worth hav-
ing. The credit they value is that of

FAIR PLAY IN BATTLE
"A NOTED TRAIT OF THE ANGLO
SAXONS
Many Incidents in the Late War Which
Show That Even Enemies Ad-
mire Sportsman Spirit

Anglo-Saxon has been for centuries
synonymous with fair play. This SEN
timent is as characteristic of the race
as is its love of liberty, its progressive
ness and its chivalry. The Anglo-Sax-
on delights in conquest; he glories in
eXcelling; dominion is as the breath of
his nostrils. But, having conquered, he
scorns to play the tyrant; he offers the
hand of brother to his fallen foe; he
does not exult in his prowess. And he
is all this because from his earliest boy
hood he has breathed the spirit of true
craftsmanship, because he has been
taught to indulge in feats Of strength
without rancor, to accept defeat with
manly stoicism, and to win victories as
matter of course. He has well learned
the lessons of the playground, the gym
nasium and the athletic field, and this
training he carries into business life,
into legislative halls and courts of JUS
tice and even into war itself. In this
last arena of physical arbitrament,
where the passions rule and reason too
often has small sway, the Anglo Saxon s
keen sense of what constitutes pure
sport, his well-trained muscles and con-
seriousness of superiority make him d
worthy foe and generous victor.
Looking back over incidents of the
war between the United States and
Spain-now happily over-it is not diff
cult to see the results of that athletic
training which has become a national
habit of the American youth. The his
tory of the worlds battles dies not con-
tain any better illustrations of mag
unanimous conduct toward an enemy
of generous impulses linked with victory
or of true manliness under most trying
circumstances than was shown by the
American soldiers during their three
months struggle with the Spaniards
These incidents We're the manifesto
tions of the Anglo-SaXon spirit of fair
play, the natural results Of inherent
and acquired sportsman tendencies. The
impulse which made Lieutenant ORD
deal compassionately with dying Span
lard, who was wounded past the posi-
bility of active combat, yet had life
enough left to send a bastard shot into
the brain of his generous foe, had it's
birth away back in schoolboy days
when the future hero of San Juan took
severe punishment from his playmates
without murmuring and scored victories
without Dragging. The prompt ac-
tion of Sampson and Schley's men in
hurrying TO the rescue of Cerveras
sailors, who a moment before they had
been trying with all the skill at their
command to send to the bottom of the
ocean, was simply a heroic manifesto
ton of that spirit which proffered the
victor's hand to the vanquished on the
diamond which cheered the defeated
eleven on the gridirdon or gallantly
saluted the loser in the fencing bout.
That very. essence Of sportsmanship
which made Captain Philip exclaim:
Don't cheer, boys, the poor devils are

(Translated from the German of Hermann

The heart has chambers twain,
Wherein dwell
Joy and her fellow, Pain.
If Joy wakes in her cell,
Pain slumbers,

Oh, Joy, thy shout restrain!
Speak softly,

This sportsman spirit was what made
Cervera admire Hobson and his little
band. 1t was what made the Spanish
soldiers, after the surrender of Santi-
ago, walk through the streets arm in
arm with the victors. 1t was what
dulled the edge of defeat and disaster
to the Spanish officers when the Ameri-
can commanders refused to accept their
swords as tokens of surrender. The
business of the American soldier was to
fight and to conquer. But when this
was done his antagonist became a man
in need of help, perhaps of nursing, and
the rifle and sword were quickly thrown
aside for the stretcher, the bandage and
the healing lotion. Indeed it is ques-
ton which seemed to please the Ameri-
can boys more-shooting Spaniards or
saving them. 1t would take a clever
analyst to decide whether the more
vigor and dispatch were shown in rain
ing shells on the doomed ships Of Ger
vera's squadron or in saving the crews
of that fleet after the Spaniards had
shown flags of truce. At any rate, it
was plain to even casual observers that
the American sailor appeared more in
his element while cheering the arrival
of prisoners, on the New York and Brook
lyn than while training guns on the flee
ing Spaniards. But this was perfectly
natural. 1t had been fair fight. The
Spaniards had not proved cravens, and
the American sailor, always a true
sportsman, paid the vanquished the
compliment of acknowledging he had
fought we'll and had yielded manfully.

the AngloSaxon spirit Of fair play and
it owes its existence more to amateur
athletics than to any other single cause.
The splendid condition of the Ameri-
can army and navy in this war-but
particularly of the army-was due more
to the national love of competitive ply
| sical exercise than to anything else. The
| boys had been trained for years to use
their muscles, to accept defeat or vic
tory with equal equanimity, and when
the supreme test came they were not
| found wanting. Perhaps few Of them
| thought when they were contesting
every inch of the football ground with
antagonists equally persistent and skill
full that they were fitting themselves
for a far more serious trial of strength
and temper, but that is just what they
were doing. And so with all the pOpu-
lar sports so dear to the heart of every
properly constructed American boy
They strengthen his muscles for sus-
tained exertion, but above all other
things they teach him patience, per-
sistence and control Of passion and
temper. AS a result of this widespread
athletic training this nation was in a
position to astound the world with the
dispatch it showed in placing more than
one hundred thousand well trained and
we'll equipped soldiers in the field. The
American boys entered the fight as they
would have done any contest demanding
the qualities of a sportsman. To them
the Spanish soldier was an opposing
athlete, something to be vanquished d
without hatred or spite and afterward
to be greeted as a worthy champion of a
lost cause.
