Regulars and Volunteers.

1t is high time that conspicuous
tribute be paid to the soldiers of the
regular army for their services in the
civil war. The shaft dedicated at
Gettysburg on Memorial day a a
tardy recognition Of the merits Of men
who fought CALAMITY because it was
their duty. Many of those who were
at Gettysburg had enlisted before the
war and had no heart in the contro-
versy which led to hostilities. Plaudits
have been lavished upon the volun,
teers, who bore the brunt Of the con-
f1ict, but the regulars were the model
upon which the volunteer army was
built.
The United States will never have a
regular army large enough to fight a
great war, but the establishment has
potential fighting power and actual
military value. 1t keeps the nation
up to the worlds standard inaequip-
ment and organization and distributes
among the people trained officers and
soldiers capable. of training citizens
for military service when the call
comes. With the mass Of citizens un-
trained every regular becomes worth
his weight in gold as a drillmaster II
the people rush to arms.
