SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THOSE BLUE HE IS CHICKS.

From the Newark Post.
There has been rejoicing in many
Delaware homes since the publication
on Monday of the list OF troops TO
be returned from the Mexican border
by the War Department--among the
number, the battalions from Delaware.
Official reports convince us that Della
wareans, in this. their latest service,
have Measured up TO the high standard
set by former generations of valiant
fighting men. The same indomitable
spirit which carried their forefathers
into the thickest Of the fray, has en-
ahled these men to heap up a record
for physical fitness, endurance on the
march, and attendance to duty in the
face OF a deadly monotony and in
many cases, wearisome feeling OF
uselessness.
The returning battalions have earn
ed the gratitude OF every Delawarean
who reioices in his States achieve
ment; they have added another chap
