Eager For Action.


 It may be that war is worth it's cost in the welding of the people.
 The recent capture of Vera Cruz demonstrated this.
 The fact has been clearly shown that should the United States and Mexico become involved in war, the divided factions in Mex leo would unite in opposing the common enemy. After all, blood is thicker than water and they could not be blamed for this. If this is true with the Latins, it is equally true in our own country. In times of peace tnd prosperity we are inclined to differ with each other. We make mountains out of mole hills and for lack of anything more wor- thy, make politics preteXt for verbal battles.
 A war furry brings us all to- gether again.
 There is another point to be considered. Our immigrants and adopted sons seem to be brought closer to us when the air is filled with war.
 During the past week these mo- table incidentse were recorded. Discontented labor rallied to the flag, big business interests can- celled contracts with Mexico for arms and other war supplies, Tammany pledged Secretary Garrison a regiment. Uncle Joe Cannon came forward with a loy- al defense of the administration and declared his willingness to back it up. Yale boys offered a cavalry troop. Every recruit ing office of the army and navy, the marine corps and national guard was besieged Irish-A- mericans offered to fill the ranks. In Chicago the Poles and Slays pledged themselves to raise a regiment. Chicago's Lithuani- ans, Hungarians and Austrians, in mass meeting, decided to do the same thing. Irish, Jew and German marines were killed in Vera Cruz. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers offered men to operate troop trains in Mexico. The Boston Cigarmak- ers' Union voted to keep in good standing any member who en- listed for war. The Greek-A- merican veterans of the Balkan war, in Massachusetts, pledged to reorganize to fight for the U- nited States.
 This is a splendid commentary on the virility of this nation and, incidentally, a conclusive answer to some critics of the United States army is to be found in the sudden rush which has kept the recruiting officer busy ever since there seemed to be a possibility of armed inter vention in Mexico.
 This situation always arises when there seems a possibility of war. It is one phase of the military game which is usually overlooked in pointing out the percentage of assertions from the army in times of peace. Now all seem eager for action-Mem- phis Commercial Appeal.
