THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

-1HE row in Mexico precipitated by Villa has been
1.-THE means of demonstrating that the American
citizen is still as patriotic as ever Hundreds and
thousands from all over the United States have sent
word to army headquarters and to the officers Of the
various state national guards that they are willing and
eager to give their services helping Uncle Sam esab
lish Justice in chaotic Mexico.
1t must be Of great qualification to the GOV
eminent to be thus treasured that when it comes to
showdown the citizens OF United States are ready
to back their government and willing and anxious TO
render services for their country.
And were the dispute with any nation other than Mex
leo the same would hold good. There may be various
differences Of opinion among Americans which gives
expression on the platform and by orators OF the coun
try on questions of vital INTEREST," but when the Stars
and Stripes are in danger division is unknown word
and the people of the United States stand together and
fight together in common cause.
But Just now there seems to be no urgent need for
volunteers The regular army will undoubtedly prove
sufficient to handle the Mexican trouble without assist
ance unless unforeseen complications should arse and
therefore wholesale offers Of volunteers at this time
NAV tend to copcate rather than facilitate the plans
Of the war department.
Let US be cool and level headed now The war depart
ment has the situation well in hand and should they
need the services Of volunteers the call will be made
Sufficient demonstration has been given during the
first DAYS of the Mexican trouble the officials
that the spirit Of forefahers still exists and that
when faced by any crisis American citizenship will rally
in support Of the nation.
