TEST Of THE SOLDIER
Not How He Enters Service,
But How He Bears Himself.
DEFENSE OF SUBSTITUTES
Civil War Veteran Takes Issue With
/, the Statements of Maya
zine Writer.

To the Editor Of The Star:
An article i'm the current number of an
eastern magazine is SO misleading and
dered faithful service to the government
during the civil war that it is incumbent
upon those who know the facts to de-
fend them.
BY reckless use of language the writer
would lead the reader to believe that In
1862 voluntary enlistments had practi-
cally ceased and that thenceforth the
cruits picked IN in the slums." His
theory is that nearly 1887, O84 soldiers
enlisted for three years in 1853 1864 and
1865 were bought, sold and delivered
like CATTLE and to a large extent consti-
tute what are now known as ''war-worn
veterans"
One hundred and nineteen thousand
nine hundred and fifty-four men were
drafted and either served in the ranks
or furnished substitutes. An army is
formed for a specific purpose and the
men who compose 1T are valued accord
ing to their conduct after entering the
service. How they got there is of much
less Importance than what they did after
they joined the army.
Four years experience on the staff of
the Army of the Cumberland, where /
had ample opportunity to observe the
soldierly quality Of the men composing
that magnificent army, convinces me that
I'm the stress of battle there is actually
no difference in the conduct Of volunteers
the regiment is properly drilled and ably
commanded.

Protection at Union Station.
J the Editor of The Star

To the Editor Ut The Star:
have read with approval in Thurs
days Star an editorial. also letter, en-
titled Protect Car Riders at the Sta
tion,' pointing out an essential. need. The
Union station Is a magnificent structure
and worthy of all such. surroundings nec-
essary to give the station its proper set
ting. but I nave often myself witnessed
there the great Inconvenience and dis
comforts many people are obliged to en-
dure while passing to and from the street
cars, such as women carrying babies and
luggage in a shower. old men and women
standing out in front Of the great porti-
cos exposed to the hurry of the summers
sun, or to the blast Of keen winter s
wind: in short. everybody is pushed into all
sorts~of inciement weather All Of these /
have seen and experienced in front or
Washington's beautiful Union station.
These conditions are bad enough even for
a robust person to endure. The old Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio depots
were better adapted to the convenience
OF the travelling public in reference to
street cars than the Union station, and
not the slightest claim to art was ever
made for either Of them. An inexpensive
structure. as suggested by Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick. would suffice to ward OF all inclem-
emit weather. and the grandeur of the
Union station would in no wise be marred
because Of human considerations to
those Of the public who patronize the
street cars. / am sure others share the
same Views as Mr.. Fitzpatrick and my
self. @. G. JEWELL.

BUOY TO REPLACE SHIP.
How the Tail of the Horseshoe Will
Be Marked,

The request Of vessel masters and others
interested in shipping on Chesapeake bay
that the lightship on the Tail Of the
Horseshoe, i'm lower Chesapeake bay, be
restored to it's former position, will not
be complied with by the bureau of light
houses of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, but Commander Poundstone,
inspector i'm charge of the fifth lighthouse
district, has been authorized to establish,
when available. combination light and
whistling buoy. to be known as Tail of
the-Shoe, No. TT, in not less than thirty
five feet of water. in the vicfnit~ of the
former station of the lightship, which has
been moved farther to the eastward. Un-
til the combination buoy can be procured
the position is to be marked by first
class nun buoy.
The combination buoy to be permanent is
to be equipped with chime or single-toned
whistle. to distinguish as broadly as
practicable from the tone of the whistle
on the light vessel.
