Not by way of boastfulness but only of reminder it may be said that the Anglo-Saxon and his near kin have more than a bit of the "Hang on!" spirit which turns defeat into victory. The defence of Lucknow, the fight of the Bon Homme Richard, the squares at Waterloo, the Alamo, the peach orchard at Gettysburg, are examples of a spirit in which the American soldier has a share by inheritance direct, or by acquired collateral interest through adoption of our ideals and our citizenship. This trait of blood and breeding has been called upon in the present war; it will be called upon again, many times, and not in vain. We shall not be plagued with regrets over what we might have won, with one more effort. Boston Herald.
