The very courage of the < Finns has tended to conceal this fact. Nothing can Ranger of Hannibal conceal it any longer. 3 (New York Times) Representative Shannon of Blue Springs, Mo, took occasion on the issue of a commemorative stamp An enemy that can 1 ority in the air to cripple it 1 overwhelming superi- s of communication; an ¢ 1w thet can throw literally hundreds Of in honor of Mark Twain to stamp hard upon the thousands of shells against a short front in a single military record of that most illustrious of Missouri- day; an enemy that can bring up w on wave ans. Mr. Shannon said that Mark, after his first battle, started to run and didn't stop until he got to Keokuk. This is humorous, not military, history. Mark came up on the last boat from New Orleans to St. Louis in '61. The boat was fired upon on the way. As a pilot, he had been watching wne water, not political events, about which he then had neither interest nor conviction. If he was 25, mentally he was not yet 21, Judg- ing by the number of Missouri troops that served in the War beiween the States, Missouri was damned- yankee by more than-2 to 1. At Hannibal he found that military companies were being formed to sup- port Governor Jackson, strong for the Confederacy. “In a secret place at night” Mark and 14 others, some graduates of Tom Sawyer's gang of pirates, formed a battalion called the Marion Rangers (after the county, not the General). There was a cap- tain, but no first lieutenant; and young Clemens was second lieutenant. A romantic young fellow named Dunlap had named the battalion. The battalion camped on Salt River. Lieutenant Clemens asleep on picket duty inexhaustible stock cannot be held back of fresh trcops from an almost of manpower: such an enemy forever. It is typical of the Finns that even after losing the first outposts of the only line that stands be- tween them and’'destruction, they fight as gallantly as ever. But the Russians have served notice now of the pre-emptive force of numbers.
