The same obvious objection would
apply Ia n military organization made
up wholly " citizens Of British birth.
or of Italian horn citizens or NJ Rus

II would apply equally 70 n regi-
ment composed entirely Of Mayflower
descendants.
our flag should mean the fusion of
American citizenship, not the differ
cntiation or classification of racial
elements Of that citizenship.
The same general principle Of M
sion In military affairs which the
Mayor 81 clearly formulates In his re-

remarks Of General LEONARD Woop, In

The release of the troopers of the
Tenth Cavalry captured by the Mcxi-
cans In the fight al Carrizal and n

what happened makes il clear that
his superior had orders To CO. to Ahu-
NADIA. which lies n few miles north.
east of Carrizal. and that he intended
10 execute those orders. II Is Just
as clear that General CONF had or
ders not to allow any American force

Memory Of the Field OF Blackbirds

The battle of Kosso,o was fought
5o7 years ago. II established the rule
Of the Sultans In the Balkans and
marked the beginning of six centuries
Of oppression for the Serbs. The
grass evP grows where the hoofs Of
the Turks horse strike" In June the
flowers spring M blood rel on the
plains of Kossovo.
The anniversary Of this fateful bat
tie, June IL, Old Style, yesterday by
our calendar, is n day of mourning
for the Serb the world over. The
Montenegrin wears n black band on
his cap. He wears. too, red and
II golden symbol of the rising sun To
express his undying faith and hope.
When the Turks >hrank back to the
Bosporus the Serbs dream seemed
realized bur yesterday the Teutons
ruled and the Serbs were more than
ever strangers to their own lands.
Yesterday for the first time in his
tory France and Great Britain oh
served Kossovo day. They reiterated
their determination 10 restore the
Serbian nations. A reeQuipped. re-
generated Serbian army Of 100000
men waits n renew the fght for its
homes. A people that has made such
n heroic struggle for liberty and has
kept alive through six centuries OF
oppression It's love for national and
racial unity will not lose now It's
faith and hope.
