indicated that if need be the nation
was ready to make further sacrifice
for the same cause.
The President dwelt upon the
example set by the boys who died
performing their duty at Vera Cruz
All of us, he said, are perform
ing our duty and though, he said
he has never been under fire or in
action he was performing his duty
as an enlisted man.
War is only a sort of dramatic
representation, sort of dramatic
symbol of the thousand forms of
duty. | never went into battle and
never was under fire, but there are
some things just as hard to do as to
go under fire. ] guarantee that it IS
just as hard to do your duty when
men are staring at you as when they
shoot at you.
For while we are profoundly soT-
rowful and while there goes out of
our heart a very deep and affection
ate sympathy for friends and rela-
tives of these lads who mourn them
though with a touch of pride, We
know why we do not go away from
this occasion bowed down, but with
our heads lifted and our eyes on the
future of this country with absolute
confidence of how it will be worked
out. ! think not only on the mere
vague future of this country, but the
immediate future"

Narrow Trail to Mexico City.

Special b. Hated Press Wire.
Vera Cruz, Mssx;;ss.oo Nav y slt- -.
How TO get Mexico City rs a Question
which General Funston may have to
solve He must get there in the
quickest way and with as little blood
shed as possible in order not to
arouse Mexicans to slaughter Ameri-
cans who may remain in the country.
Should Funston be ordered to ad-
vance on Mexico City it is a historic
and romantic trail that his troops
must follow.
The Mexican capital lies 1900
feet above the sea level and is 240
miles from Vera Cruz. The army at
one point will reach an altitude of
1000 feet From the tropic heat of
Vera Cruz the soldiers within a few
days will reach a climate OF autumn
days and November nights. They
must pass under the shadow of the
huge, dead old volcano or Orizaba
with its snow covered top.
1t Will not be the first time-that
is If Funston finds it impossible to
proceed on steam trains-that an
army has clanked its way through
the Mexican ravines. Once in the
sixteenth century these same passes
rang with the rattle of the armor of
Cortez's Spaniards. There was only
handful of them and they had
heard only as a vague Indian legend
that a great rich city was ahead of
them beyond the mountains A few
years later Cortez fed these same
passes and even today Mexicans hate
a Spaniard more than any other
foreigner.
