Every mention Of ne subject is serious !
and instead Of the jokes at the expense
OF those who talk Of going TO the front
| the matter IS regarded as of the sternest
reality. Governor Tyler no longer talks
of war with his accustomed popularity,
but his every mention of the subject n
extremely serious. lie realizes that war
is certainty. and, like the old veteran
that he is. that there is no fun in u.
1T is a terrible thing to have two ma
tlons meet I'm deadly combat he said
"and we can only hope that the horrors
Of war may Doe reduced as far as posi-
BILE. have opposed war, if honorable
pcace were possible. but now that We
seem to be in it. ! want us to DO our
whole duty. 1 feel that the eyes OF 'ne
! world are on Virginia. which has always
horne such n distinguished part in every
war fought by Americans, and ! am sure
tho soldiers of the old Commonwealth
win distinguish themselves as always De-
fore i'm American history.
