AMATEUR INNUNEG.

The object of Congress in ordering ten
regiments OF immunes 10 be raised was to
embody eight or ten thousand men who
could stand Cuba's climate better than
other American troops can. Yet the
government is going TO recruit those COM
mands, m part at least, in Virginia, and
West Virginia as well as i'm other equally
healthy States! Such a plan is prepos-
ferrous. We have no immunes in Vir-
ginia, unless some few people who have
had chills and fevers are to be considered
as such. But chills and fevers are as
mild in comparison with yellow-fever as
a sucking dove is to a roaring lion.
Not only is the government seeking
'immunes' about here and around our
health resorts, but il has offered COM
missions in those regiments to a number
OF men who do not reside as far south as
Virginia even. While it is desirable that
the enlisted men should be fever proof
as far as possible, it is of far more i'm
portance that the officers, upon whom
so much responsibility rests, should have
been accustomed 10 the suns and airs of
the low, marshy districts in the Gulf
States. if not Cuba.
Some intimate personal friend of the
Presidents ought to do him the great
service of telling him that the plan de-
vised for recruiting these regiments is
farcical in the highest measure If they
are 10 serve their purpose. in any degree,
they ought TO be differed and recruited
from the inhabitants Of that section Of
the South whose soil and climate most
nearly corresponds with that of Cuba If
any other course be pursued. the i'm
mune regiments" will become known as
men who are travelling under false colors.
And the worst Of it all will be that anna
teur 'immunes" from the Virginias and
from other highland States. will be ex-
pected to do the special duty for which
they were enlisted. In other words, they
may be ordered TO occupy positions that
would not be assigned TO any other sol
dlers than immunes.
AZ the President really wishes TO carry
out the design of Congress. let him be-
gin by selecting the officers for these spe-
clal regiments from those districts Of the
South whose people have some expert
ence with yellow-feyer. Furthermore, we
hope that all those who are called upon
20 enlist will seriously consider IL they
can really claim to be immuHes, and if
they are ready to run the risk of doing
duty which none but real immunes should
be asked 20 do.

present we do not know. Nor Is II neces
sary TO enquire. Were we to give th'
latest information anent the question OBJ
talnable at this writing, Il Is more than
probable that II would be discredited be-
fore these lines reach the eyes of our
readers.
In the meantime, however. there seems
to be really in progress movement for
ombarkation OF troops from Florida. IT,
indeed. a considerable force has not al
ready left. But reports touching the
destination Of these troops and what they
are expected TO do arc no less contra
dictory than the general run OF other
war news. On the one hand, 1t is as
serted that they are intended TO assist
Sampson and Schley In capturing Santia-
20 de Cuba. On the other hand, 1t is
limited, and with a knowing wink, so TO
speak. that Porto Rico Is their objective
point. Still another suggestion is that
they may at the opportune moment turn
up I'm the neghborhood of Habana.
ON the theory OF probabilities, It would
appear that tho expedition is to join
Sampson and Schley OF Santiago de
Cuba. The Importance Of effectually dis
posing Of Cervera seems so be generally
recognized. That done. the Spanish re-
serve squadron will hardly be a factor
TO be reckoned with. Cervera's squadron
having been destroyed or captured, we
could detach a sufficient number OF ships
from our fleet in Cuban waters to take
care easily of the Cadiz squadron,
and would still have left a ma
val force large enough for all
necessary cooperation i'm the matter
of a general invasion of Cuba. And it
would appear that 'twere well that what
is to be done at Santiago de Cuba be done
quickly, both for the moral effect and
in order to forestall the possibility of the
reserve squadron's giving us trouble by
manoeuvres that would compel us to
divide our feet before Cervera's has been
counted out.
So we repeat that, on the theory of
jective point Of the embarkation move
ment. Further than that, it is hardly
safe to go. However honestly special
correspondents may believe they have
inside information as to the plans of the
government the fact remains that the
government is likely, and very wisely, to
take pretty good care not to reveal its
plans. Therefore, assurances of the in
tentions of the authorities to the con-
trary notwithstanding, there remains but
little for the average citizen TO do but
indulge in speculation or possess his soul
in patience until confronted with accom-
plshed facts.

And cheer on cheer rings Ger the ranks.
A lily of the May.

The Daughter of the Regiment! But

Would crimson on battlefield could she

No black wraiths from the reckless guns
the holy heavens revile;
For Love hath aureoled her brow and
Peace is in her smile.

And kiss. We winds, the friendly flags that

Our Volunteers Not I'm Danger.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
War under all circumstances is an
aniction to the relatives of the soldier,
but this concern may at present be ale
waited by a knowledge of the facts which
affect the safety Of our volunteers.
There is no probability for at least some
months to come that the Virginia troops
will be sent to Cuba, or 10 any other
point which will expose them to climatic
diseases. The government is fully alive
to the danger Of sending unacclimated
men to unhealthy regions. and has
wisely determined to devote TO foreign
service those who are accustomed to the
hardships of camp life. The regulars
and the volunteers from the Gulf States
will be the first TO see service, while
those recently mustered will necessarily
supply their place I'm garrisoning exposed
places along the coast. In this connec-
ton. the United states census furnishes
interesting information. The death rate
per 1000 Of population I'm the Atlantic
and Gulf States IS as follows:
Maine 1919; New Hampshire, 1873;
Massachusetts. 2O.15 Rhode Island. 2l.SS;
Connecticut, 1893; New York, 2O53; New
Jersey, 2l00; Delaware, 1874; Maryland,
1921: Virginia, 14O3; North Carolina. 1l.3s;
South Carolina, 1916; Georgia. n.52; Flori-
da, 1888; Alabama 1881; Mississippi, 49,
Louisiana, 1462; Texas. lisa
IL will be observed that Florida makes
the best exhibit of all our coast States.
The truth is that the careless. impru-
dent, or dissipated soldier is exposed to
as much danger in Camp Lee as he
would be i'm Cuba.
The structures on the government in
failing 10 supply the equipments neces-
sary Is unjust The first work was TO
equip the navy. and its next 10 attend
TO the wants of the troops which will
first see active service. The rest will be
attended to in due time. 1t is no holiday
lob i'm these days OF Leiterism to arm
and equip a great navy and l25,Oo0 volun-
teers. especially when the war was pre-
cipitated by the clamor OF the people
when we were totally unprepared for 1t.
The government has done wonders in the
brief time allowed, and II deserves not
only the confidence. but the applause Of
the nation. FIFTEENTH.

A few days ago General Miles was, after
making several starts and balks. whlrled

Of heading an invasion Of Cuba in force.
According TO the programme then given

been stated that the President was op-
