VETS WANT TO FIGHT
John NJ. Padgett Says They'll Enlist
Eagerly If War Comes.

Patriotism and love of "Old Glory

mbition, a desire to out distance and
prove to fellow comrades ones fight
ing and shooting ability, actuate brav-
cry on the battlefield, much more
than the waving of the flag, or pa
triotic impulses. Such was the sub
stance of a statement made today by
John NJ. Padgett, president of the
Twentieth Kansas association. Pad
gett also is a member of the Span
ish War Veterans and served in the
Philippines under General Funston
and General Pershing. Padgett des-
cribes the feeling that is responsible
for bravery on the battlefield as fol-
lows:
Il think the majority of people
do not fully understand the thoughts
of the average man, just at the time
he enlists, and his later mental de1ib-
erations after he has Obtained a taste
of powder and steel in the field.
Before a recruit has experienced
service in the field, his one thought
is love of country and its flag and
of course, after he gets into the field
his mind centers more accurately on
the flag and what it means, provide ed
the flag is at his elbow during a fight
| A soldier always puts up a better scrar
when his eye is on the flag
But after a man is well seasoned
| in soIdiery on the field, he does moi
think so often of the flag, as he does
of his ambition to demonstrate super
| iority over the enemy in the handling
| of a gun.
The personnel of the British
