rOes to be Cared
for by the Young
Veterans in Near
Future

With each succeeding year the veterans
of the Spanish-American war will have
more to do with Memorial Day until final
ly they will be the only survivors OF Amer
lean warfare and step into the place now
filled by the Grand Army, which is rap
idly disappearing. Each year finds big
decrease in the ranks OF these hardy old
veterans, who fought for the Stars and
Stripes, as they go yearly to the graves Of
their comrades to cover them with flowers
and plant the flag on the mound that they
followed amid the bursting of shells and
shriekng OF bullets.
Who shall say the youngsters are less
brave than their fathers and uncles? Be
cause many of them did not see active
service is no argument that they were not
willing to. They enlisted to fight for their
country with the same spirit that prompt
ed their forefathers in &c and 81. Those
that did get TO the front distinguished
themselves and fought and died for their
flag In the same manner as American
soldiers have ever done.
Today their graves are heaped with the
liowery tributes of their comrades and
friends.
Young Soldiers Organize.
The young soldiers are known as the
Spanish-American War Veterans and are
now one body. After the close of the late
war several societies sprang up, but they
were finally gathered in one.
One Of the first laws made by the con-
solidated society was to render all pos
sible aid to the Grand Army and now
silvery-haired veterans Of the Civil War
pat them upon the head and are proud of
them.
