other lands fought and, fighting, fell

boys In their early teens into the
armies put the breath of life into the
story that the American Civil war was
fought by boys. There has been "a
great deal of fiction written and
spoken about the extreme youth of
the soldiers of the North in the Civil
war. There We're instances of mere
boys fighting in the ranks, but these
instances We're exceptional and were
so far apart that they attracted con
siderable attention even at that time.

We honor the memory of our soldier
dead, but a deeper lesson should be
CATION to the living to preserve that
for which they made the supreme sac-

under the Stars and Stripes either In

Dead Of Three Wars Remembered.

Those who gave their lives in three
wars are now to be remembered. The

the cruelty Of a Weyler. and Of the
number who fell that the double
