Spirit of 1898
The Volunteer Who Would Not
Be Denied
BY WILLIAM M. BURSON
First Lieutenant, Bth Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
in War With Spain
First scene, Cantem, Ohio, April, 1898: While in
vharge at the armosy of Company “L,” Bth Ohio
National Guard, just two days before we were to
leave for Akron, Ohio, for the assembly of the reg
iment, we were accepting some recruits. Among
these there appeared a young man who was anx
ious to enlist. He was clothed in boots, corduroys,
weolen shirt, cowboy hat and red bandana hand
kerchief as a neckpiece, He stated his age as eigh
teen, I sized him up as sixteen, a “stripling beard
less on lip and chin,” and told him we could not
accept him without his parents consent,
He left, saying he would obtain the consent and
to be sure to hold a place for him, In the mean
time, his mother sent us a message saying he was
only sixteen but she could not refuse her consent,
but begged us to, if possible, reject him on the phys
ical examination. When he returned with the paren
tal consent, he was sent to the surgeon, who, in the
meantime had read the note from his mother, called
me and asked me if I thought his muscles were suf
ficiently developed that he could carry all the heavy
equipment on a long march. I replied that I did not
think so. He was rejected.
The next scene, the City Auditorium, Philadel
phia, Pa., August, 1930: There I was approached by
a middle aged man who said he was looking for
Bill Burson from Georgia. I replied that my name
was William M. Burson from Georgia. “Yes,” said
he, “I know you; you're not the man I'm looking for,
Don't you know me? You ought to, as you kept me
from going to the war with Spain with your com=
pany.” 1 immediately recalled the occurrence of the
boy who, although he had his mother’s consent, was
rejected on physical examination at her request.
He proceeded then to relate his experiences, as
follows:
“I stood on the sidewalk with tears running
down my cheeks when you fellows marched by to
take the train for Akron, I hung around Can
ton for a couple of weeks and I found out what my
mother had done and it made me mad. I ran away
from home and went to Camp Bushnell at Colum
bus, Ohio, and tried every regiment in camp but
couldn’t get in anywhere. I bummed my way to Cin
cinnati and then on to Chattanooga and Chicka
mauga, I tried every outfit there, Regulars, Cavalry,
Artillery and all but couldn’'t get in anywhere.
From there I rode, blind baggage, box cars and so
on down to Tampa, Florida, where I signed up with
a Mule Train Outfit under the command of a fellow
by the name of Bill Burson from Georgia, and I
beat you fellows to Cuba by nearly two weeks.”
Other organizations, I am sure, had many cases
where the officers had to reject young patriots who
were imbued with the Spirit of 1898 and who
wanted to do their bit for the freedom of down
trodden Cuba. Let us hope that the same spirit still
lives in the nrinds and hearts of the young Ameri
cans of today.
From hundreds of national languages will develop
....one common, international language which will
not be German or Russian or English, but a new
language.—Premier Joseph Stalin,
Congressmen go along on pork barrel legislation
because you (voters) back home have established
the theory that if you don’t get your pork right now
you'll get new legislators.—Senator Paul Douglas
(D.-TIL),
Organized labor has been steadily drifting away
from organized Christianity for some years and the
gap is becoming ominously wider.—Rev, Emlyn Da
vies, of Cardiff, Wales,
Today’s fans don’t mind that their idols are mar
ried. They did then (30 years ago). There were only
six or seven stars. We were like people from Mars,
The public had us on a pedestal.—Francis X. Bush
nran, early movie star,
Korea is only one small outpost of a terrible
ideology of human slavery that could eventually
kill the greatness of America and destroy the divine
gift of freedom to live and work where and as we

The power does not exist today which can break

ence and friendship with other peoples.—Milovam

nity afforded by the emergency situation which

Street Markers Receive
Much Commendation
Installation of street markers through the co
operative efforts of the Athens Exchange Club and
the City of Athens is being completed and this im
provement has received the commendation of the
public. :
The city has been manufacturing concrete sign‘
posts to install on the streets, but this will be a long
range undertaking, It is planned to replace the ‘
wooden posts recently installed at street corners
with the concrete posts as the need occurs. ‘
For many years visitors and even local citizens |
have grumbled about the lack of street markers in
Athens, Now that an enterprising civic organization
and the city government are remedying this condi
tion we are confident that visitors will be as grat
ified as the local citizens who have been heard to
conment favorably on the signs,
We hope that smart-alecs will not attempt to dig
up the wooden posts. If they do, they should be
given a stiff fine by the Recorder.

Future Wonders Promised
. .
By Atomic Pile For Peace
Ever since America began lacing up its military
boots again this summer, Americans have been
bombarded with atomic arguments, fears and ap
prehensions, suddenly revived by memory of what
happened to Hiroshima five years ago,
There have been clarion calls to drop the bomb
in Korea, even on Moscow, and get it over with,
(And there have been saner declarations that we
are not yet engaged in a struggle of atomic propor
tions.) There have been dramatically frightening
articles on what would happen to us if the bomb
were dropped in our neighberhood, (And there have
been more sober explanations, in the Atomic Energy |
Commission’s ewn handbook, that discounted a lot
of old fears.)
It is true enough, to be sure, that America is en
gaged in an atomic arms race, and that production
of atomic bombs is probably at an all-time high, But
there is hopeful evidence, too, that the atonr may be
put to work at peaceful pursuits in time to be one
of the wonders of this generation,
One such sign comes from the AEC’s Brookhaven
National Laboratory at Upton, N. Y, There the
other afternoon a nfild and bespectacled scientist in
shirt sleeves gave the signal that started the awe
some forceg of nature at work in America’s first
postwar atomic pile.
Brookhaven is probably the most powerful
atomic furnace in the world, but it is dedicated
solely to scientific research. In its reactor, neutrons
will be produced to help chemists learn more about
the elements; biologists, more about life’s pro
cesses, and medical experts, nmore about the mystery
of disease,
In a few months, when the furnace at Brook
haven reaches its full force, it will be a small-scale
example of another job the atom could do for man’s
good. The 30,000 kilowatts it will be producing then
could, if converted, provide all the electrical needs
of a small town.
The electricity Brookhaven could make is only a
symbol, however. Other laboratories are working
feverishly to build an atomic engine for subma
rines, and there is great hope they will have suc=
ceeded by late 1931, Once before submarines show
ed the way to a new power for transportation in
the development of the diesel engine that is now fast
crowding coal out of railroad locomotives.
Brookhaven's dedication to research is an encour
aging nrilestone in the atomic age. It is a paradox
that the arms race for an atom-powered submarine
is most likely to show us hew to harness the atom
to civilized, workaday jobs. But it is not an unhappy
paradox for the future.
West Ain't What It Used To Be
In Peoria, 111, a man was arrested for drunken
driving—on horseback, That is something we can
understand in this day and age. On the other hand,
a report from Oklahoma was more shocking, There
a man was arrested for riding his hores into a soft
drink parlor and ordering a raspberry soda.
It would seem that either the hard-riding west is
going soft, or that the influence of television, the
never-never-land in which all heroes on horseback
drink nothing but sarsaparilla, is becoming pait of
the law west of the Pecos.
There was a great to-do down in Houston, Texas,
when a pretty young elevator operator at City Hall
complained that a middle-aged City Councilman
kissed her while he was riding in her elevator, The
furor seems to have been caused by the fact he was
not campaigning for office at the time.
We rejoice that the United Nations did not this
time give in to the blackmail of the accomplished
fact. — Vincent Auriol, president of France, on
Korea,
You don't give world championships away on a
golden platter. If Louis can beat Charles, then he
should hold that championship until he’s beaten.—
Jack Dempsey, former world heavyweight chab
pion.
The United States is working for peace, but it is
also striving to be ready to answer the only language
. . . ambitious dictators respect . . . armed forces.—
Senator Virgil Chapman {D.-Ky.).

Korean Heat Scorches Wounded,
Saps Strength Of Fighting Men
By -DON WHITEHEAD
(For Hal Boyle)
KOREA—(AP)—The sun shone
with blazing heat that scorched up
the earth and parched the mouths
of men who toiled slowly up a
hillside with carbines and ma
chineguns.
It was a hellish day for war.
The physical effort of tugging
guns and ammunition up slopes
was enough but there were enemy
machinegun fire and bursting mor
tars—and that molten sun hanging
above. .
Sweat dripped from men’s faces,
flutonod on arms and soaked into
tigue garb, The heat was a
living thlr:g that embraced you
with smothering fierceness. It
drew sweat from toiling men and
drained strength from limbs. It
was as much the enemy as the
Communists in the battle for an
other ridge top.
Fighters Overhead
Above us our planes roared in
to strafe and rocket the enemy.
They were wonderful, those fly
boys, doing a magnificent job of
supporting the attack and putting
their lives on the line to do it.
It was cool up there. It was
cool and clean. There was no
dust and heat and dirt. There was
no searing sun in the cockpit to
drink the water from your body
with a consuming thirst. And if
death came . ~ it was clean and
quick.
But on the hillside, the earth
infantry toiled up and up in the
face of enemy fire and the heat—
and pushed forward God cnly
knows by what force of courage
and determination.
And then the wounded Legan
coming down the hill. A soldier
came down, walking with the lim
ber legs of a drunken man, sup
ported by two of his comrades.
His face was almost purple and his
eyes were glazed and unseeing,
“The heat got him,” a buddy said,
“. . « that damned heat.”
More Wounded
