Any old soldier will tell you that the
thing for which a man in the service
hungers and thirsts above everything
else, is news from home. Every paper
is read till it is worn out, and every
letter is as welcome as the sight of a
ship to marooned sailor. Not only
send literature but write letters to
your acquaintances. Do not he re-
strained by any sentimental folly, but
write. If you shrink from making this
innovation alone, unite with others in
a Joint letter and make it Il roundrobin
if you choose. There is no other way
in which you can now serve your coun-
try so well, for to be remembered by
those at home is health, strength
courage and good cheer to those amid
the dread realities Of war Many a
poor fellow has succombed TO despon-
dency growing from a belief that he
was forgotten or neglected.

General Merritt's unwillingness to
undertake the task Of ousting the
Spanish army from the Philippine
Islands with an insufficient force of
raw recruits furnishes proof of his
fitness for the task. If all his fifteen
thousand soldiers should be regulars,
seasoned to the instant business before
them when they shall be landed at
Manila, the odds would still be heav-
lily in favor of the Spaniards, unless
the insurgent forces could be depended
upon to give efficient aid. The insur-
gents are an unknown quantity; but
Manila is a city Of over 900 inhab-
itants, and the population of the Phil
ippines is over eight millions of people
speaking strange tongues, unlettered,
uncivilized and incapable of settled and
orderly government.

All the fighting is not done by men in
arms; all the battlefelds are not those
where swords flash and cannons roar;
all the heroes are not found where war
bugles blow. Back among the peaceful
valleys and the quiet homes where are
the wives and mothers who "remain
behind, many must also walk the way
of sorrow and agony; many must be
summoned to duties that try the heart
and test the soul, many must be called
to the performance of valiant deeds and
the achievement of glorious victories.
All honor to the brave men who rally
around the battle flags to fight for their
country All honor to the loyal women
who serve their country none the less
bravely by remaining behind to do the
duty that none but they can do. Jack
son Citizen.
