Our Creates. Arsenal.

From tho FouT-Track News.
During the civil war Rock Island was
called into unexpected service. At The
very outbreak OF hostllitics the island sug-
gcsicd Itself a. a suitable place 20 care for
the prisoners OF war. and extensive bar
racks were constructed. with a hospital.
officers quarters and other necessary
buildings. over 5000 confederate prison.
ers were confined there.
Horace was indeed wise when he coun-
seized TO prepare for war In times OF peace.
but that advice was d~isrcgardcd, and
when. m 1888. war was declared With
Spain. IL found M ~unprcparcd. bu; the
brock Island arsenal promptly responded
10 the call. Tho force Of workmen was IN
creased from 200 TO nearly 1900. and the
necessary articles were poured out Ia like
proportion. Even then IL was liz days be-
fore the soldiers could be made ready for
action.
Had Spain been In a position 10 take ad-
vantage OF tho delay. our victory might
eiaVc been less decisive.

Encourage war. but TO prepare for u when
