to the roses of the future, and In the
golden glory of youth. stepped forth
from our ranks of American citizenry
and offered themselves upon the pa
triotic alter Of National need.
Never before in the history of this
nation had our citizenry been put to
such terrible test among alien races
under foreign skies with the prospect
of meeting death in its most hideous
form, but they did their duty and
they did it well. The was was fought
in two hemispheres. 5000 miles apart,
and our soldiers and seamen were al
ways victorious. never losing color,
rife or an inch of ground but cap
tured hundred of colors. thousands or
rifles and prisoners. They captured
vast territory that is now occupied
by a free and prosperous people. or

States. The war gave liberty and
freedom to millions of Cubans. Porto
Ricans and Filipinos. 1t destroyed
the last vistage of sectionalism in
this country. 1t united the North and
South. In the Spanish War the son
of the North and the son Of the South
broke bread at the same mess, fought
shoulder to shoulder in the same en-
battled trench and from camp and
campaign came a magic healing that
closed old wounds and effaced their
scars. The war droEe the Spanish
tyrant from the Western hemisphere
and made the United States a world
power. Our traffic In the Pacific be-
| came so large that 1t made the con-
struction Of the Panama Canal an
actual necessity. $500 of the COM

closing the speaker emphasized the
duty to preach the doctrine OF Amer

| organizations, very impressive cere-
mony, which was followed by CAL
