THE SPANISH-AMERICAN VETERANS A reader suggests that we write some- thing about the veterans of the Spanish- American war,.who-have been often crowded out between the worship ac- corded the veterans of the sixties and the World War. There is something :to be said in be- half of these men. They volunteered so to be prolonged, but which seemed des- perate enough when it began. They suf- fered from disease as well as bullets and some of them died on alien soil in a fight for the freedom of an alien people. They served notice to the world that a new na- tion had arisen in the West, ready to take up another’s burden. Of course, today the people of this nation would hardly support a war for the freedom of Cuba, or anybody else, but neither would they go into another Euro- pean struggle if they could keep out of it. That has nothing to do with the debt that the Republic owes the men who fought the battle with Spain. They deserve well of their countrymen, in respect and esteem, and once in a while there are signs that they are being accorded the recognition that is their due.
