WHAT IS TRUE AMERICANISM?
Wc should keep steadily before our
minds the fact that Americanism is a
question of principle, of purpose, of
idealism, of character; that it is not
a matter of birthplace, or creed, or
lino of descent.
Here in this country the represen
tatives of many old-world races arc
being fused together into a new type,
n tjpc the main features of which
arc already determined, and were de
termined at the time of the revolu
tionary war; for the crucible in
which 'all the new types are melted
into one was shaped from 177G to
1789, and our nationality was defi
nitely fixed in all its essentials by
the men of Washington's day.
The strains will not continue to
exist separately in this country as
in the old world.
They will be combined in one; and
of this new type those men will best
lepiesent what is loftiest in the na
tion's past, what is finest in her hope
for the future, who stand each solely
on his worth as a man; who scorn to'to legitimate Interior and thoso who
ua cvu to otners, ana who reiuse to
submit to wronijdoinp; themselves;
tylto have in them no taint of weak
ness; who never fear to fight when
fighting is demanded by a sound and
hfgh morality, but who hope by their
lfyes to brine; ever nearer the day
tvJicn justice and peace shall prevail
within our own borders and in our
relations with all foreign Powers.
?Mucli of the usefulness of any ca
reer must lie in the impress that it
makes up, and the lessons that it
teaches to the generations that come
alter,
&Wc of this generation have our
own problems to solve, and the con
dition of our solvin? them is that we
shall all work together as American
citizens without regard to differ

most wonderful, ns well as tho great
est, tropical military post lu the
world.
The manner In which tho work
will be dono has not )ct been decided
upon and will depend very largely
upon tho discoveries which Captain
C.istncr makes on the tour of Investi
gation which ho Is about to under
take. Tho temporary cantonment
will bo urcctod by Captain Castner
under the day-labor system; the rein
forced concrete work may bo done in
tho same manner, or It may bo dono
by contrnct.
Work Will Be Bushed
Work will lie rushed along busily
from now until tho middle of Janu
ary; then thero will probably bo a
lull of two months or more while
plans for the permnncni post nro be
ing drawn, Once they nro conip'lcted,
thero will be two years of tlio busiest
kind of work lu sight. No stop will
bo made In operations until tie last
trco has been planted and the last
walk has been laid.
It Is not considered likely, by
Army officers, thnt there will be any
Incrcaso in the local garrison, with
the exception ot tho two squadrons
of cavalry, until tho post Is complet
ed two. years hence. Then tho gun
ners, the nddltlonnl Infantrymen and
