WAR WITH SPAIN

Is not unlike the battle between right and
wrong that is being continually waged in the
hearts of every man and woman throughout the
world. America is for the right in this contest
as all civilized nations acknowledge. Spain was
once all hOnOred nation. Its present brutal
treatment of the CubanS had its origin in smaller
expressions relentlessly continued until open re-
volt was the only avenue of escape left to the
unhappy Cubans Spain will not admit its own
wrOngdOiGg and the world stands in awe watch
ing the just retributiOn soon to be meted out by
liberty-lOving Americans. However harsh this
punishment may be, civilization will yet join in
peOn of thanks as it shouts ''Wel done. noble
Amerca Thou hast suppressed the Oppressor.'

tailed accounts of this war. but you will GER
