 Among the names of those whose bod. ies were pierced with Mexican bull lets are those of that tenacious race that wandered longer than any modern people without flag to fight for, but which now numbers it's patriotic Americans in seven figures. Dead or wounded Frolichstein. Katzenberger and schwart testify that peace-loving Hebrews are as ready to die for their country as the Anglo-saxons who first settled 1t.
 Schumacher and Schmidt and Fisch- CT gave their blood as evidence of the continued loyalty of the German Americans, whose race contributed the second of the great immigration movements into the United States, and which has not ceased giving sons and daughters to enrich our common country.
 Jansen. Peterson and Brant suggest the later arriving, but none the less patriotic on that account, scandinav- ian race. which is doing so much to- ward building up the West.
 A still younger race to add its thousands to our teeming millions is represented by the Slavonic names of Kwapick and Divorick.

 Among the names are many that suggest the America of the first Mex lcan war and before. Robert E.

 The. seOtts. closely affiliated with the English and others in the estab, rshment of early civilization on the American continent. and like their Irish klnfolk always ready for frol, ie. or fight. are represented among the Vera Cruz victims by Cameron, McAulln and McCloy.
 Then comes Q list of names that likewise may suggest a remote ances- try of Norman French or Hugenots, who were prominent in earlier Ameri. can times-or perhaps they are of a later Canadian French origin, as Is the case with so many Americans of today-as. for instance, Gilbert.
