EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Owing TO an
error made by the Associated Press in It's dis
patch Of Aug. 3, ls9l, regarding the Comrades
Of the Battlefield, many have the impression
that the Order is connected with or admits as
members the ex-ConiedeTate soldier.
The Order is rs free from faint Of treason or
disloyalty rs very long service under fire OF the
enemy, or severe wounds, or long captivity by
the Nations foes can make IL. IL there can
possibly be found body OF truly loyal men. 50
proven by their acts, the Comrades OF the Bat
tlefeld is such body.
The Order has many purposes 10 carry out for
the good OF its members and the Nation, which
will be explained 10 all who may desire the
information on application to this Office OF TO
any of the State Commanders, or 10 any Re-
cruitng Officer Of the Order.
j will add that the Comrades OF the Battle
field in no manner clashes with, nor can IL
possibly injure, any other Union soldier oTgani-
cation, as its objects entirely different from
that Of any other Order.
