AT the business meeting before the
banquet Frederick Paine was admittnd
to membership in the first class. He
derives his eligibility from Ills father,
Capt. Amora Paine, who entered the
United States navy in 1922. Gen. Wes-
ley Merritt presided. When the cigars
were lighted Capt. j. p. Moore was in
troduced to read paper on WARS
First Rude Alarm i'll 1861" Capt.
Moore's paper was retrospective view
of the conditions existing in 1859 and
1860, and of the scenes attending the
enlistment and muster Of troops for the
war. All the members of President
Buchanan's cabinet were de-
nounced unsparingly for the part
they took in ante bellqm
events. By inference considerable
blame was thrown upon Buchanan.
Lincoln was glorified and Stephen A.
Douglas, who, though defeated by Lin
coin and killed by that defeat, yet
strongly supported Lincoln after the
election, was referred to as type of the
purely patriotic statesman. Capt. Moore
asserted that few selfiShly ambitious
individuals were responsible for the
war. They forced secession upon the
states after the people had repudiated
at the polls in 1860 John G. Breckin
ridge, the avowed candidate of the Sc
cessionists. Capt. Moore drew graphic
pictures Of the muster of the companies
and their departure for the war. He
also related interesting personal remin-
iscences of the experience of the three
months men. His was very interest
ing paper.
