The Charge at Guantanamo

lnf1amed by the determination to obey
orders and ride straight into perdition, If
need be- drunken with the wildness of their
charge, the gallant Light brigade rode
upon the Russian batteries at Balaclaya
and literally charged through death into the
pages of history! Never will their glory

few months ago another 600, not with
the quickening scene of "a great battle be-
fore them, but with knees clutching the
flank of maddened horses. but calmly, de-
liberately. landed upon the shores of Cuba
to plant the Stars and Stripes in the teeth
OF the enemy and keep it there Not swift
ly did these heroes ride into the smoke of
the batteries and end it all in a few ire
mendous moments, but, lying on their faces
through weary days and nights, they
fought an unseen foe until their brains
reeled and their fingers were nerveless with
pressing the trigger. The charge of the
Light Brigade at Balaclava represents the
supreme madness of war. The clinging of
the United States marine corps to the
shores of Cuba, at Guantanamo, TO MAIN
tain the flag against an army, was the
supreme endurance Of war
Just when everybody was asking, what
Of the heroes of Guantanamo appeared In
Washington yesterday and marched before

feature of the war was when the marines
landed in Cuba and raised the Stars and
Stripes over Camp McCalla. There was q
portentous omen and meaning In this
movement seizure of the soil between
the two battalions of marines was an in
suit to the Spaniards to wipe out which
they tried to drive the 600 men into the
sea. The whole world watched the ma
rines fight ceaselessly to keep the flag
where it had been planted. 1t seemed an
awful thing that the sailors should lie on
their faces through those terrible days,
fighting, fighting in a very delirium,
against an unseen foe, while in sight rocked

Pillow an hoe an rake.

Keep their courage right in place,
Nerve built on solid base
Nothin' couldn't shake.

All the echoes wake.
Not care to cloud the soul,
Nothin' bitter in the bowl,
Waves of plenty seem to roll
'Thout a painful break.
See city proud an grand,
Out to OF Salt Lake,
Nerve an muscle hand in hand
Played an won the stake.
Mormon saints an Genties seem
Hitched up in double team,
Workin' every pound o. steam
Fur Progressions sake.
Cupid doesn't swing his bow
Out ito Of Salt Lake.
In the style of long ago
Used TO take the cake.
One good pardner now appears
Quite enough; the sanity peers
No more keep herd of dears
For appearance sake.
Live in peace an harmony,

When they hear the final trump,
Mighty apt to see 'em jump
Into glory in a lump,
