BEWARE OF PASSION

A month ago, we spoke with
scorn of the war of the Dutch"
We called them "Vandals,"
"Brutes," and Beasts" and
Heather Huns and such. We
despised the very name of war;
we shuddered at the word And
blasphemies upon the Dutch"
on every side were heard" Those
kings in Europe made this fuss,
and THEY ought to fight it out!
Instead of killing millions, there
should be a bout" And SO the
people of this land abhorred the
thought of war and nation with
the lust of tit simply made
them sore.
But today they see OUR sol
dlers marching down the tho
roughfare, and the sight, it makes
them tinglc from their toe nails
to their hair. And they talks of
patriotism, and of Love of Coun-
try" too; and the lust for
fight" it thrills them, and their
blood, it springs anew. And they
wish to fight it thrills them, and
they're riled up, through and
through!
Now the love of country is all
rig ht-and Patriotism's fine; and
indeed, it is noble thing to pro-
tect the border line. But when
you see the soldiers, through the
crowded city wend-it isn't love
of)country that stands your hair
on end It's the Brute that
dwells within you-and Ito be a
trlfe blunt)-it's the THING that
makes the wolf snarl when he's
on his bloody hunt It's the spirit
OF the caveman-the rabid lust for
Fight-it's the spirit that deve1-
oped, when the only Right was
Might.
So now, if Little Mexico" will
not retract its stand, let our arm
les shoulder muskets, and protect
our native land But let it be in
sorrow that we have to go to fight
let it not be exultation at a
chance to show our Might. Let
the wish to serve his country, ev-
cry single soldier thrill, but keep
down that awful passion-the
Wanton lust to kill!

see little probability of action for them
In the rumors of attacks by Mexicans
which Secretary Baker says have been

The border Is known to be patrolled
by such large plumbers of mllitiamen
and regulars that the Washington SOL
diers are inclined strongly to doubt the
suicidal mania with which Mexican
bandits are said to be possessed. Of

IL extremely improbable that any OF
the soldiers at Camp Wilson, $50 miles
from the border, would be needed to re-
pei any attack bandits might make.
Alleged Deserters Captured.
Privates Edward Sullivan and Harry
Hodkinson, of Company A, were re-
turned to Camp Wilson today by two
sheri9s from Taylor, Texas, where the
