But why should not these boys of ours be brave, resourceful and al- most unlickable? They are the sons and grandsons of men who fought at Gettysburg. at Shiloh, at Vicksburg, the Wilderness, and hundreds of ths battles of the Civil war. They are the descendants of men who fought in the battle« of Bunker Hill to Yorktown in the Revolutionary war. and of those who won the battle over British veterans at New Or leans No wonder our boys “over there" think they are the best sol diers in the world. They have a wealth of traditional bravery and strategy in battle for their inspira tion, and the proud fact that they are lighting for humanity and to make men free. Those boys, in point of education, initiative and re sourcefulness. have the trained thought of manhood, born under the flag of the free, to urge them on to do and to dare. They have the intrepid bravery of (¡rant, Sher man. Sheridan. Lee and "Stonewall” Jackson for inspiration. Moreover, thev are paying our debt to France, who came to our aid in the darkest days of > ur Revolutionary war. and who divided honors with us at York town, the final battle of that war. America is not military in the tie rm an sense of the word. Our boys, who refused to be driven back from Cantigny. one year ago were tilling American farms, selling goods or plying w>me trade or profession. Most of them knew nothing of mili tary life, save what they read and may have been told. Yet a few weeks of training has made them capable of meeting the Kaiser's boats, which he has tn*en training and preparing for this great world wsr for many years. They are proving to the German war lords that the air of freedom and fair treatment breeds men capable of becoming soldiers of the A-class in a very short lime, and that when they bar« fought one battle they become sure to have a period «if very *loaa times.’* Presumably it is thought that a m<>m*y contraction, similar to that following the Civil war. will again occur. The Tribune thinks there is n<> rea»<m to expect such a result, for conditions are not at all similar.
