AUGUSTA SHOULD SECURE ONE
OF THE MANEUVER OR MOBI
LIZATION CAMPS.
With the cancelling of the order for
a maneuver camp nt the Isle of l’nlmit
thia summer, am] with tin- war with
Mexico breaking out, It will only ho a
question of time tieforc the volunteers
are railed out, and mobilisation camps
established In various sections of the
country.
Augusta ought to he able to secure
one of these ram pa If she wants one
Committees In charge of this matter
for Augusta ran well stress Augusta's
claims upon the attention of the War
I'epartmcnt.
Briefly they are as follows:
Ist. Augusta the year round has one
of the best climates In the world.
2nd. The soil Is perfectly adapted
for ramping and maneuvers
Jrd. The water good and plentiful.
«th. Communication with southern
ports unusually convenient.
6th. Spanish war records In the
Quarter-master Oeneral's office and
the Burgeon Oeneral's office will show
the marked excellence of this city for
wimping gi,nd uncover purpoe.
*th Augusta's record for good
treatment and hospitality shown offl
errs and men in previous encamp
ment Is know n all over the country.
• th. The particular site offered to
the tlovemment Is pronounced by ex
perts admirably suited to all require
ments, containing a score or more of
f ne camping grounds for anything from
batalllons to divisions of troops. It Is
cleared In the main but contains plen
ty of wood, mostly pine, lies aiUacent
to two railroads, to which spur trucks
are offered, with good roads every
where.
These are some of the very strong
end cogent reasons why Augusta
should be favorably considered by the
department In the selection of these
ramps.
It Is to be ho|>ed that the committee
tn charge will press this matter upon
the attention of the department at the
eartleat possible moment.
Other cities throughout this section
are already busy with their cases for
presentation
It la high time for Augusta to act
promptly. . •

Tremulously I proreed on my way,

American Lives Taken
Justify An Inevitable War
(New Tork American.)
The United States is today at war With Mexico.
Its armed forces are on the soil of that nation. Its
flap floats over the custom house and other public
building-s of Vera Cruz.
But we are not in Mexico to settle a trifling dispute
over the character of a salute.
We arc not there to take part in a factional war
between different brand* of bandits.
We are there to avenge the murders of American
citizens, to safeguard the Mexican country; to civilize
it. and, if desirable, to make it part of the United States
—the most highly civilized of nations.
American blood has been spilled on Mexican soil
by Mexican soldiers.
For that reason our ships ride protectingly at anchor
m the Mexican seaports, our marines patrol their streets,
our soldiers are about to cross the international
boundary,
We are not sending our bovs in blue to aid Villa or
to advance the interests of any Mexican faction that
has been murdering Americans with impunity.
They are sent there to defend the lives of American
citizens still in Mexico, and of any who may hereafter
go there.: to protect lives first, but to protect in the end
all American rights of life, liberty or property
We are sending the flower of our youth to Mexico to
vindicate the honor and dignity es the Stars and
Stripes, and to maintain our flag, flying from the City
of Mexico to the Rio Grande.
Congressional resolutions, preambles and amend
ments are futile in the face of facts.

and threw myself upon the couch 1
devoured the titles eagerly. Until now
this mad moment of realization, 1
had worshipped the books apart from
all personality of their creator. Some
how I had never semed to picture,
even in my moments of awesome ador
ation, the flesh and blood being who
penned them. It was the Master In
tellect I worshipped—and now, now
I wondered if I could ever cherish
them again, if I could pene
trate their infinite depths unmindful
of that deep voice, that flash-like
glance. Oh, no, it would intrude, it
would spoil the dream. I push them
from me with trembling hands while
the tears blur my vision of their
titles.
Then suddenly with an overwhelm
ing burst of adoration, shaken by my
many years of silent worship, I snatch a
printed page and hold it close, close
to me. I feel the splendor of the mas
ter bruin, In its Ink and paper body
fiercely, vividly, humanly, as If its
greatness transfixed me and gave my
brain fresh birth.
