Along the Santa Fe railroad they
still recall how Funston as pas
senger train conductor, threw a
drunken cowboy off train and lat
er, when he hurled a rock thru a
coach window, pursued him several
miles on foot while the train waited.
IF You Can't, I Can"
The American troops had been in
possession of Vera Cruz only few
days when one of the Mexican gen
erals sent in message saying in the
most polite terms that he was unable
to longer restrain his troops, and
that they were about to advance and
drive the Americans into the sea.
IF you can't hold your troops
back, i can,' was the laconic mes
sage Funston sent back.
Fought in Cuba.
Funston's first experience on the
firing line came in Cuba. where he
commanded General Gomez's artil-
lery with remarkable results. After
engaging in % battles and being
wounded three times, he resigned
his command because so, guerillas
who had aided the Spaniards were
executed against his wishes. Cap
tured by Spaniards on his way to
Havana, he escaped death by swa1-
lowing a letter to the President of
Cuba which would have proved his
identity.
While a colonel of the famous
Goth Kansas volunteer infantry in
the Philippine war, Funston per-
formed feats of bravery that brought
him the title of brigadier general.
His capture of Aguinaldo and his
fording of the Rio Grande river at
Columpit under fire featured his
work.
Absolutely Fearless.
Funston had been described by his
superiors as absolutely fearless. Ev-
er ready to plunge into danger, he
cared little whether his force equal
led that of his opponent. One day,
the story goes, when it appeared GER
tain the Filipinos would destroy
three companies under Funston 8
command, General Harrison Gray
Otis, inquired of the Colonel how
long he could hold his position.
Until am mustered out!" Funs-
ton replied; and he made good by re-
pulsing the Filipinos.
When the volunteers were dis
as member of the regular army. AS
Ia regular he made mark by main
tanning order in San Francisco dur
ing the disaster in 1906. Tempo
rarily in charge of the troops at the
Preside, when the disturbance came,
he quickly declared martiaEslaw and
set about obtaining accommoda-
tions for the homteless, keeping down
the cost Of food and arresting trou-
ble-makers. 1t was while he was in
command Of the troops at Vera Cruz
in 19l4s that he was raised. to the
rank Of ma general: He then was
49 years old. @
The ambition of Funston's youth
was to go to West Roint, but he
failed in an entrance examination.
In later years he repeatedly out
ranked West Pointers who were in
school when he failed of admission.
Was Physically Small.
Physically, Funston was one of
the smallest men in the united
States army. He was barely five
feet and five inches tall and usually
weighed less than 12O pounds. In
civil life he was modest and retiring.

BY Wolcotte LIE Clear Beard of the
VlRilanteS.

Between sixty and seventy years ago
Johnny-thousands Of him-came
marching home from Mexico. He
came marching home in 1866 and
1898. Now, sooner or later, he will
come marching home again, and on
a scale greater than the country ever
before a seen-than the world ever
before has seen.
The three first Of the four wars al
luded to are history, but history that
has been made within the recollection
Of people who still are living. If you
ask them, these people doubtless will
tell you that each time Johnny's arms
and dress were different, and that SO
were the formations in which he
marched. But they will tell you also
that in essence his Homecoming
Mentally at least, these people who
are old enough t remember the
scenes attendants upon Johnny's
Homecoming a hardly help but con-
trast each with another scene that
preceded it. That was when Main
street Of the home town was lined
with cheering lei and crying women,
or ONE trying not to cry; when
1.-THE Girl I Left Behind Me" crashed
and re-echoed from the fronts of
fla%g-draped houses as Johnny's regi-
ment, its ranks filled with clear-eyed
youngsters like himself, tramped away
to that fercely exultant air.
Perhaps those who recall to their
minds the contrast between those
scenes n those of Johnny's return
will vaguely feel that there has been
guilt somewhere, but it is exceedingly

unlikely that they ever applied tina,
sense of guilt to themselves. They
should so apply it. Throughout the
history of our country that guilt, in a
greater or lesser degree, has rested
upon the shoulders of practically ev-
cry woman of all our millions.
Will it continue so to rest? That re-
mains to be seen.
Johnny has come marching home
yes. But howe about those chums OF
his, Tom and Dick and Harry and
Bill and Charlie who never came
home?
n obvious answer to this cues.
ton Is tina in war such things are in
ev1table; and in a measure, Of course
though in a much smaller measure
than people in general suppose-this
answer is correct. War Is not a safe
pursuit, and nothing can make it SO.
The legitimate casualties Of war IAN

Of casualties, the ones that might be

Taught by the awful object lesson
which for nearly three years has been
held before us, our nation has learned
one Nof two lessons, both s~tupendous
both of vital import to the very exist
ence of the institutions set forth in
that mastery document dated one
hundred and forty-one a ago.
One Of those lessons is this:
Fighting, even in the ranks, is a
trade, and one that Is becoming more
and more highly specialized with ev-
cry hour that passes. Naturally it has
to be learned. like any other trade. In
it amateurs have no legitimate place.
This lesson we have grasped. The
execrable volunteer system has gone.
