Loyal Legion of Indiana expressed it's ap-
| precations of the loyal young men who
| have responded to the countrys call for
| volunteers. The resolutions were adopted as
"Our beloved country is at war; and before 1t
now are all the uncertainties incident to that con-
dition. The Loyal Legion of the United States
| Is composed OF citizens who have been soldiers
and who know from experience the full meaning
1 OF the word war. Assembled in regular meeting,
| the Commandery of Indiana cannot adjourn with
| out expression upon the subject, and has
! cordingy resolved:
That our cause is absolutely just, involving,
as it does, a proper resentment OF crime
atrociousiy perpetrated upon unoffending Amer
| lean seamen asleep in supposed friendly harbor,
and the rescue from yet more horrible death
4 of multitudeS of men, women and children help
| less in a neighboring island.
| That our confidence in happy issue of the
struggle Is absolute, partly because our faith in
the valor of our countrymen is absolute and part
| y because believe in God whose other
names righteousness and Justice
| THAT trust in the wisdom, frmness,
| age and patriotism OF President Mckinley and
Congress- His patience in dealing with Spain
| during the period of negotiation accept
guaranty that now fighting is begun 1t will not
be stopped until national honor is gloriously
! vindicated and the hoary iniquity OF Spanish
dominion is forever broken and her last outlying
possessions revert to peoples free and happy under
republican governments of their own choice and
| institution.
THAT IL other nations interfere with us In the
| infection of punishment upon enemy call
halt in the work prOvidentially upon US.
The degradation inflicted upon China is no part OF
our destiny.
THAT rejoice in the victory OF Dewey and
view with pride the prompt response of the young
men of Indiana 20 the summons by the
President. We. soldiers OF the past salute the
soldiers of the new era, and doubt not that they
will to it that John Browns soul goes march,
ing over the seas to Cuba and the Philippines.
That take special pleasure in the action OF
our brethren of the South. and thank them for
permitting at last and before go to final
