WOMEN IN TIMES OF WAR
strong Point Made by a Woman with

Strong Point Made by n Woman with n
Recollection OF tho Civil War.
The exisencies Of the present Cuban
war remind me OF my early experience.
My father. A. ]. Luse, died in 1858, dur

A. B. Luse, was at the time Of, my
fathers death, a soldier in the Fourth
Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers, and
was on duty In Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
My fathers death. and my brothers
absence, left us without vote in the
family. In 1864 when It became neces-
sary to recruit the army by draft, It
was proposed to tax our town for the
purpose Of raising money to hire sub.
stltutes for those who should be drafted.
This could only be done by direct
vote Of the town, and those families,
whose voters had remained at home and
who were unrepresented in the army,
found themselves in position to vote a
tax upon the property OF the absent
soldiers with which;to save themselves
from military duty, and they did vote
such tax; not once only-but twice. Z,

A Deserved Recognition.

The intention OF the government to
make Lieutenant Hobson a tine officer
with opportunities to win further honors,
and to vote medals OF honor to each one
OF his band OF seven heroes. Is a prompt
recognition OF the courage displayed by
them, and Of the remarkable feat they
performed which has challenged the adj
miration OF the world. i

may be put down that we will again hear
OF Lieutenant Hobson. Though his e1-'
plot may: not have been go momentous
in its results. It entitled him to be placed
in the head OF the list OF heroes the war
has thus far developed, for in its I'M

csrvera, Thirteenth Century Defense


The American press and people, after
having accepted in good faith the Span
Ssh Admiral Cervera's supposed graceful
act in sending under q flag OF truce his
congratulations. and recognition OF the
bravery of Lieutenant Hobson and his
crew. and assuring him that they would
be protected" as prisoners of war, fipd
themselves of necessity compelled to
withdraw their expression of apprecla-
ton OF the Spanish commanders chiv-
airy. It now turns out that Admiral
Cervera's assurances, generous as they
appeared to be, were accompanied by
the statement that Hobson and his men
were confined In MORO castle, which, of
course, he knew the American fleet in
tended to demolish.
The dispatches remark, Justly. that the
placing OF these American heroes in the
direct line Ut fire Is denounced by
American officers as a thirteenth CEN
fury defense, an act Of incarnate cruel
ty." And It Is well they did 50 denounce
it. After all that has been said OF Ger
vera's supposed generous conduct which
seemed umazing. considering ne had
been regarded as typical Spanish COM
mander. there is nothing left to do but
place him in the list with all the others.
Behind the behavior of a gentleman.
which always Is becoming to q great
warrior, was the doubtful strategy Of
the Spaniard who does not hesitate at
cruelty. 1t was unworthy to be called
strategy. It was q confession of weak
ness. To protect fort from the fire OF
an American war feet which ne prom
Used his people at home he was coming
over TO destroy. he coolly notifies the
American commander that eight Ameri-
can heroes, whose praises are being
sung from one end Of the American con-
tlnent to the other, and in Europe. are
confined therein as q shield against q
possible attack. The American officers
are right in characterlzing 1t as n thir-
teenth century defense, for nothing like
It is found In the annals OF modern, civil
lied and courageous warfare. providing,
OF course. it does not turn out that Ger
vera wns lying and that his statement
was only ruse.
The incident is in keeping with the
evaslve policy Of the whole Spanish con-
duct of the war, which Is so strongly in
contrast with the bombast and boast Of
facing the Yankee pigs" and destroy
ing their fleets, with which the ignorant
populace OF Spain is being deluded. In
spite of cervera's display of Castilian
chlvalry. we seein him the same char
acter that seems to be inherent In the
whole Spanish race.

PLEASING EPISODE.


American Fork, Feb. IA, 1898.
To the Editor:
The American Fork Dramatic com
pany on Feb. 18th. at o'clock PM. in
the Opera house, presented a play, in
three acts. entitled, The Squire's
Daughter. to a highly appreciative and
attentive audience. which consisted of
the old of 65 years and over. and of
the widows and missionaries wives.
This entertainment was. gotten up
under the auspices of the old folks
committee. viz: Thomas Bnrratt, pres
ident; William Grant. secretary. and
John Tracey, treasurer. and was a
laudable innovation and a pleasant
surprise, II being the first entertain
ment of its kind ever given to the old
of this town. This was the maiden per-
Torrance of our newly innugurated
dramatic company, and, judging from
the tact and talent they evinced, II is
not saying too much to predict for them
successful and prosperous future, as
all acquitted themselves admirably,
and the play passed off without the
least display of confusion, failure or
discontinue.
1t is to be hoped that this innovation
so cheerfully and so well begun may
not wane or langu.sh but that it may
henceforth be regarded as n duty We
owe, once year at least, to our fathers
and mothers. whose locks are silvered
and whose forms are bent with the
weight of years. and who deserve and
need all the Kindness and attention we
are capable Of bestowing upon them.
