Here and there we hear a whine from
some lingo newspaper, complaining about
! what this war for democracy is going to
cox Tin money! but reports from the re-
cruiting stations are to the effect that our
men and our women, too, are presenting
themselves with a willingness which
proves that the spirit of the Colonists,
q the Boys In Blue and of the khaki
ssrbed lads who avenged the Maine, still
lives.
They are responding with that marked
unselfshness which is the very essence
Of Americanisrn, and which cements the
foundation of principles upon which our
government stands.
They have heard the presidents call
lor the democratizing of the WORLD,
I'D they are offering their services
ehserfully to that glorious cause.
In view of these reports, that all is

suxpridng to learn that there is opposi-
tioa n congress to conscription or COM
