During the Spanish American
war when Mckinley to himself de-
cided not to fight If he could help
but to save his country men and

across the wide wide shore and
offered peace and pardon to Spain

three hundred and sixty FIVE sol
diers who were blown up In the
Maine by those decettful halt breed
Spaniards, when we thank God to
this very day for saving old Amer
lea and her boys who wore the blAe
