In eetabneblng a hero fond for 111«
native Scotland Andrew Carnegie In­
stats upon the same distinction be-
twoen heroism today and the heroism
of the age of romance which has bees
made in the awanls from the Ameri­
can fund. I t Is stipulated that the he­
roes of the new fund must be "follow­
ers of peaceful a vocations In the Brit­
ish Isles aud the waters thereof.’’ This
leaves out the army and navy, to
which the romautlc mind natnrally
turns for "daring doers’’ worthy to get
a prize or a decoration.
The heroism which Mr. Carnegie
wants to reward Is that In which the
actors risk their lives out o f pure ho-
mau fellow feeling and sympathy. The
military nun would be disgraced in
the eyes of bis comrades It he failed to
face danger In any form. He Is train­
ed to ignore pain aud death. But for
tho civilian, trained to peaceful avoca­
tions, to give up life at the call of an­
other’ s needs Is In every sense heroic.
With our modern views of the doty of
selfishness these aro the true heroes.
The recent namJug of the tan new
torpedo boat destroyers after naval
officers to oomiueiuurata noted deeds in
American history leads ths New York
World to suggest that a few names
might well ba borrowed from the army
roll of honor for the samu purpose.
The names added to the uaval "bail of
fame” by the last order of the presi­
dent Include those of three rear ad­
mirals, three captains, three command­
era and one midshipman. As It stnnds
the torpedo fiottlla commemorate* he-
roos of all our wars, among them
Lawrence, Hull, Decatur and Perry,
Fnrragut, Cushing, Worden and Wins­
low. Our naval traditions are against
the commemoration of clvtltaus by
naming warships after them.
With the army the caso Is eommvhat
peculiar, for, while It has loug been the
custom to name forts and butteries
after distinguished soldiers, civilian*
are also honored In that way, and,
again, names are conferred upon forts
because of their local geographical sig­
nificance. A warship Is a unit and
tuny carry the name It beat« to any
part of the world. The parallel of the
warship In the army Is the regiment
It Is a unit and In a regular army
gathers In the course of time trmlRtona
which are Inspiring to the men. Names
that can uever die out of our military
traditions might be conferred upomreg-
lments. In tbo volunteer service It la
a common thing for n regiment to
havo a synonym, sometimes by formal
adoption aud again through tlie evolu­
tion of a name given by chance, even a
nickname.
As the army Is composed of th is»
nrms of service, there la opportunity
to confer In each branch names that
hare a special significance. Tho forts
could be given names of soldiers dis­
tinguished In the defense of fortified
positions, batteries the names of bwroea
o f the artillery arm. cavalry regiment*
might commemorate soldiers distin­
guished In saber battles and Infantry
regiments the heroes of brilliant
achievements In ths field, where "tho
man with tho musket" bore tho brunt
o f battle. These historic synonym«
might be conferred by a charter, and
In time they would be prized by the
men as wore the eagles which Napo­
leon bestowed upon his battalions a*
awards for conspicuous deeds of vahs*.
