American Of today, and incense is aris.
ing from altars erected in honor of the
belligerent god. Spain will have an
all-consuming regret that she ever dis
covered America. No one can doubt
the outcome OF a struggle between the
United states, with her millions OF
men and money, and Spain, impover-
ished and representing nothing but
antiquity and decay.
Oklahoma is as patriotic ss any spot
in the union. In this city the martial
spirit Is centered at the armory in the
court house, where Company A, First
regiment, Oklahoma National Guards,
is quartered The eighty-two mem
bers of this company are perfecting
themselves in the science Of war by
drilling, marching and other work
necessary to make good soldiers. The
members oil the company are young
men who are pervAded with but one
desire and that is to receive orders TO
20 10 the front.
Captain ARIEL, commanding the
company, has established his head
quarters in neat rooms across the
street from the court house, and is
working early and late looking after
the comforts Of his men and getting
in readiness for the longed for orders
to 90 TO the front. He has appointed
Private II. C. Olds company clerk and
al the records are now in shape. Cap
tain Arrell has bsen a commissioned
officer In the guards since the company
was first formed. When he was
elected captain the last time there
were but six men who - pc-ted to roll
call. but by good work he has the
large and splendid organization he
now commands In shape to do effective
service.
First Lieutenant Charles J. Laux is
also charter member and has held
several positions in the company. He
is popular with the bows.

addition to being one OF the most pop
