WARM SPRINGS VA. July 2s.-ooo
OF the most charming features of iifo e
the Warm Springs is the absence OF The
Invalid atmosphere. We drink to Aesc,la-
plus In the exhilarating. life-giving waters
OF the sulphur springs: we seek and llnd
health In bath as soft an velvet .aa6
as buoyant as Scotland's famed harebells
we fulfill our daily regimen of diet and
exercise. but praise DO to tho. gods. sUu
do not compare symptoms.

room grumbling. we should have been
shamed into silence this week by the un.
conscious self-effacement OF enc Of our
Santiago soldiers Lieutenant Soriey, Of
the sixteenth Infantry Regulars, whowas
shot three times In the second dsy's nght
before Santiago, has been with US.
On Sunday, during divine service IN the
little Presbyterian church just without
the ground. a man wearing the uniform
OF lieutenant I'm the regular army, and
carrying his am I'm a sling, entered tho
church. Half an hour after service no was

tage surrounded by men. women, and
children eager TO hear details Of tho
lighting In Cuba and 10 grasp the hand
OF one OF our soldiers.
When We gathered around him Nc

except that he had fought for us and
suffered fer rs, and that in honoring him
we honored the brave men who had lived
for US and died for US In Cuba.
But IJefitpnnnt Snrtavsa poroopettt a.

left this afternoon. having been ''wined
and dined" by Mrs. Rebecca Harding
Davis, Mr.. Langvion Michel, Mrs. Eu-
bank, and others, he carried With him
the assurance that coming into our COM
pany stranger, he goes from IL with
the esteem OF all who were fortunate
enough 10 lave come into personal rela-
lions with him. The only fault we had to
find with him is that he would talk about
everybody except himself.
OF the Associated Press Lieutenant s;or.
ley spoke with enthusiasm.
They are a splendid set OF fellows" he
said. "and they did everything for us.
Every mail facility at their disposal they
placed at ours, as far as they could. No
thing was too much trouble and our army
In Cuba loves them to a man."
"Oh!' said one woman as she cut up
used TO be superior TO the women who
faved over brass buttons, but now, I am
as feeble minded as the weakest of them.
We have sat at home and done nothing"
You have given US your sympathy" ha
said instantly, land that has meant
everything"
Perhaps he proved himself the genuine
soldier in nothing more than In thu SIM
plicity and modesty with which ne ac-

and the quiet persistence with which he
refused to regard himself as anything
more than the medium through which
national pride and national gratitude
sought and found expression.
