Show 3 THE PROVO POST - t DEATH TOLL AL E Dl TORI A LS V IL C, HICKS 4 THE CALL IIAS COME A few days agcr the ealHa annsrcame to . U this quiet city, of Provo and in a great mass meeting the people of this city heard the officers of Uncle Sam say to Jhe boys of Provo come with ns to defend the honor and integrity of this nation. They did not Come. Go, they said Eighteen of their call to the country boys responded without delay. They did not have to be forced into the service. They heard the call and as true Americans they answered Aye. . Since that meeting other boys have signed the roll of honr and the troop assigned to this city is being rapidly filled. , Provo boys are every day showing that they are not unmindful of thfr duty they owe to this great nation of ours. They are not mindful of the work accomplished by the n and- - the troops- - that marchedintoMexico jover : sixty-yeaago and placed the great state of Utah great American Union. When the pioneers came to the sagebrush plains the first thing they did was to unfurl the glorious stars and stripes from Ensign Peak, and in those days' there 'were none so mean as to shoot Old Glory down. In those days mothers sent their sons, and all of ns are enjoying the blessings of this great government." Today We are called upon again, not to add new territory to our great domain, , but to protect the lives and property of American citizens who are not so happily located as we are. The nation has been patient and long suffering. We have not wanted war, but when our citizens are beings murdered and their property pillaged, it is time to act. Already there have been more people murdered than were killed during the Spanish American war. This murder must not go on if the United States aaanation is to uphold honor among, nations We iis dignity-anchave one way to stop it and that is by back mg the nation to the last ditch even though it calls for the sacrifice, of life. Here in Provo we are indeed sorry-to ,say that some who have grown sons have not only refused to let their own boys respond to the call of duty, but have thought themselves doing a duty by going to mothers who have so nobly responded to the call and attempting to console them for what they term the recklessness on the part of their brave sons. The mothers who have an4 " Mormon-Battalio- rs in-th- is L :x -- -- swered the call need no consolation. They are the mothers of boys in whose breasts the fire of patriotism burns brightest. It is and fathers of their type that we owe this great freedom we are all enjoying. There were always the consolation parents whose sons had the spirit of patriotism smothered in their breasts until conscrip-to- n was forced upon them and then went unwillingly to serve under the men who joined the ranks when the call came. Fathers and mothers who are consoling the proud moth ers whose sons are now going to the from vmay some day find themselves in this very clhss. The nation still has the power to draft men into the army and although a drafted man is worth only half that of a vol nnteer, the nation will take enough to make up the difference. s o o Colliers Weekly, one of the great journals of America, has given a lengthy discus-,'sib- a ta the Republican nominee for president, in which it says : The nomination of Mr. Hughes was (about as clear a result of a patient attempt as could be i To arrive at sober judgment 4 means imagined.

PATRIOTISM THAT IS REAL TTurTng the past fey days the people of this city have had the opportunity to knew that there are some real patriots among the people of - Provo. There are men;' and women who, in spite of the weak kneed paci fistSj are willing if need be to sacrifice their all to the call of ther glorious country. - Men and women who have only sons have already sent them into the Provo company ' with their blessings. We have one case which we believe is unequalled in the state. Walter G. Taylor, whose" health has been impaired Jor many months, and may be permanently so, came to the recruiting office - and freely , signed his only sonspapers.His only request was that his son should return, if re-turn he does, as clean, high minded and as moral' as he goes to the front. There is a spirit which some of our timid pacifists might well emulate, We have all together too few of hs type in this city Yet most of the boys who have signed the muster roll have done so at gteat sacrifice as the list wjll show,,. Some of the boys have quit splendid jobs to join others who are leaving wives, as is, the case of another true " patriot, Peter J. Berfson. - : V ; But, coming back to the - real issue. Months ago this paper advocated the organization of a company for the National Guard. Such pacifists as tke Provo Herald were bitterly opposed to the move.The Post at that time predicted that the time would come when the citizens of Provo would e chagnnned because we lacked that organization. The time is upon us, but it is not yet too late fo make good. Many smaller towns through their prompt action have humiliated us for not last. Provo must make good.- - Her sons must answer the call and place the city-othe military map of Utah. This is the third argest cityTn the state and ther shame' is ours. Yet we have been given the opportunity to make good. We are conditioned and can make up if we have the right spirit, tfow is the time to come to the front, boys, and to redeem our city. - n There were about the " same number who wanted Mr. Hughes for candidate, but didn't want him for president. His inquiring mbit of mind and liis supposedly austere view of life they dread.-The- y voted for him with undisguised reluctance, and only after long consideration had brought them again to the belief that he was the best man they could offer to the people. That they did nominate him, that his nomination: was al-- . most an assured fact from the day the delegates first gathered, is a high tribute to the candidate. It reflects the picture of his character which he has succeeded in printing on the minds of the people of this coun try. The delegates took him because they felt sure that the people would take him, and they never felt sure the people would take any other candidate who was in any way acceptable to the convention. It is probable that a majority of the people of the country feel the need; of the kind of orderly and capable administration that the Republican party is supposed to of- fer. But they do not seek efficiency alone in their government.' They want something They demand service to ideals. They feel that America and the spirit of America are threatened..' It will not be enough to go to them and say : The Republican party is the best party to run your shop for you. that.-- A Tliere must be a higher appeal-tha- n caucus is not an election.

In addition to eight - previously reported dead, had been killed. A note found on the body of Captain Boyd, the American comznander, who lost his life In a charge on the Mexican machine gun trench, proved that General Gomes, the Mexican commander, invited him into the town of Carrixal, and that he bad refused anl afterward conferred with Gomes outside the town.- - Neither the noteJ book of Captain Boyd nor that, of Captain Morley, both of which were recovered, threw any light on . the clash, according to the report. After the first firing, K troop, under Captain Morleys "command, took r fuge In a nearby adobe hat, . Major Jenkins reported. Realising that they were surrounded end , outnumbered, he ordered his men to leave the hut In small detachments, that their chances of escape might he increased. Captain Morey, himself suffering with' slight wounds, with tour then remained hidden throughout the day in the house, which w&i . within , 2003 yards of the Carrahslsta line. That night the party of four started afoot in an attempt to make their way back to he expeditionary command. However, Captain Morey soon became so weak from loss of blood that he was unable to walk and believing he was dying, he ordered his men to leave him and save themselves. This they did, but shortly the wounded officer managed to rally enoughjto crawl to the ranchhouse of an American named McCabe, tfvtng about nine miles from Carrizai. ' Major Jenkins reported that he had found Captain Morey hidden in McCabes honse and that his wounds were not dangerous.' Upon the receipt of the dispatch General Pershing said forty three members of the command engaged had been accounted for andJhat one other is known to be alive but is lost In the desert The remainder of the eight four men who made np the detachment are believed to have been killed or maoe prisoner. for , Wednesday June 28th Field Headquarters, Mexico, June 25.
