proud and Unafraid"
Through the Years

The Boston folk last year were
disposed to weep at what they
thought a pathetic spectacle as
they saw the splendid rear guard
of the Grand Army marching in
pouring rain through their streets.
In point of fact the last thing these
boys of Civil war days want is
sympathy. They do not belong to
=, the sob-stuff brigade. Like their
Southern antagonists, they were
men from the crowns of their heads
to the bottom of their feet, and
they still march on proud and I'M
afraid to the last rendezvous with
DEATH" says the Baltimore Sun.
Splendid old men are these on
both sides of Mason & Dixon's line.
Army life did not enfeeble them.
Perhaps if they had not marched
SO much in youth they would not
have been so hale and hearty now
at an age when most men do their
marching in rocking chair if
they have been so fortunate as to
live so long.
Three cheers and three times
three for these sturdy survivors OF
both grand armies! They are of
the salt that never loses it's SAVIOR.
Could some potent magician of life
sprinkle them with the elixir of
youth and set them before us in the
radiant and splendid manhood that
was theirs in the SOS, would the
picked corps of any armies of the
present rival them in dauntless
courage, in unselfish devotion to
principle? Of such are the eternal
kingdoms of spiritual glory, of such
the human sublimity that shines

Memorials Worthy
of Americas Great

Strikingly I'M contrast are the two
memorials by the banks of the Po-
tomac to two great American presi-
dents. The tall shaft which ex-
presses the nations tribute to
George Washington is wholly diff
ferent from the lower, square, tenn
ple-like memorial to Abraham Lin
coin short distance to the west.
Each is a perfect example of its
style. Each is a complete express
sion of the nations thought.
The Washington obelisk rises
high above all other structures IN
the capital. 1t is simple, pure and
stately. 1t dominates the land
scape. For many miles it is Wis
ible, the first mark of Washington

ship, and in a few short months
the West Virginia had built up an
organization with Captain Sem at
the head which was second to
none, and even now the ship has
the proud distinction of big white
letter E painted on one of its gun
turrets, denoting superiority in
gunnery.
The engineering department is
now out to win the same distinc-
tion in engineering and under the
direction of it's able officers there
is a strong probability that they
will succeed. In that event the let
ter E in red will be painted on
| her side.
/ This competition between the
men of the several ships for SUI
premacy in the several branches OF
the service is, valuable factor. 1t
should not be understood that this
competitive spirit is confined to
| the officers, but it permeates
among the men as well, and it is
only a short time before the newest
recruit. when he knows his station
and his responsibilities, begins to
feel a pride in his ship and its
achievements.
It is the same thing we have on
land. We are proud of our home
town or the institution in which
we are employed, but on a warshlp
this sentiment is more quickly
developed and intense as the men
from close association and a COM
mon interest catch the spirit quick
er which makes them better sailors
! and better men.
The laggard has no room on
/ shipboard, any more than he has IN
a factory, but it is his own asso-
ciates who first jolt him out OF his
misconstrued ideas of shiftlessness.
It should also be understood that
the morale of the men selected Tor
service in the navy is now far
above what it was in years past.
The navy is no haven for the scum
of humanity, but instead 1t is a
training school for young men
whose past lives are now scrutl-
nized closely before they are &C
copied in the service.
] While these men are not molly
coddles, indeed neither are they
the riff-raff which many people
commonly seem to think. They arc
Young men entering upon life who
hone to make good. Why they
sought out the navy as future
need not be discussed, but the
writer has come to the firm con-
viction that the opportunities III
the navy are equal to those on
