Yet they are do
ing just what we expected they
would do when they left their homes
to battle for humanity on a foreign
shore
We are not at all astonished
that these American boys arc tender
to the unfortunate. respectful to
age. and courteous to women; for
they are gentlemen tn the true sense
nf the word and arc maintaining
the American character in respect
for the rights of others.
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.
