Foreword


Few of their names are known. They only ask to serve; and they do serve—efficiently.

This is intended not as a slur, but as a spur for us to do what the United States can surely do, when once our people become aroused. The United States needs our best, humanity needs it; nor shall we be weighed in the balance and found wanting.

Harris Dickson.
Washington, D. C.,
July 4th, 1917.
