war for humanity, for freedom, and for
opportunity, which under the direction

you fought months. That smaller war

typified by our present President, whose
name this camp is most appropriately
to bear.
Ours is most difficult task. 1t is
easier TO die than to live for our coun-

your spirit for the days which seem so
unheroic, and yet demand such heroism.
Fortunately, we have the example of

that you were citizen soldiers and that
you are soldier citizens The Victories
of peace are yours as well as the vic

self-control, the patient endeavor, the

you have been good citizens; and who
shall say in which capacity you have
wrought best for the Republic? Eacf
year you come together with thinnet
ranks but undiminished spirit TO feed
anew the undying flame upon the altar
of patriotism. / should not have said
your ranks are thinned, for the place
of each fallen comrade is filled with a
loving memory. And who can ever for
get the faces which never had chance
to grow old-the brave young warriors
who fell in battle and gained the prize
of immortal youth?
Loving Salute.
For them there is no shadow OF
struggle or poverty; no trouble of gray
hairs or failing strength; no care OF
the present nor fear of the future. The
unfading light of morning is forever in
their eyes: the blessing of grateful
nation hallows their names. We sa-
lutte them with loving tears, from which
the bitterness is gone. We hear their
young voices in the clear notes of the
bugle and the murmur of the fiutterng
flags. Our answering hearts cry, Hail
and farewell, young comrades, till we
meet again.
Our fathers ordained that in this Re-
public there should be no distinctions; !;
but human nature is much stronger than
laws. and nothing can prevent this peo-
pie from showing honor TO all who have
deserved well of the country. Every
man who has borne arms with credit
has earned, and is sure to receive. a
special measure of regard And it is our
peculiar privilege to remember that our
armies and navies, regular and volun-
teer, have always been worthy of es-
TEEN.
In distant generations, under different
flags in conflicts great and small. by
land and by sea. they have always borne
their part nobly. The men who fought
at Louisburg beneath the meteor flag of
England: the men who stood with Wash
ington at Yorktown; with Lincoln in the
Black Hawk war; with Crockett at the
Alamo; with Taylor at Buena Vista; with
Grant at Vickgburg, and with Lee at
Appomattox, were of the stuff of which
not only soldiers, but citizens, are made,
And in our own time the young men who
stormed the hill OF San Juan, and have
borne our flag with sucn honor to the
forbidden city of Pekin and the jungles
of Luzon. have shown that their pro-
genitors bred true.
Good Americans.
