Tho men who told tho story of our civil

On Oct. 10, at Gaplantl, Md, will be dcdi-
Gated the War Correspondents memorial, a
monument which has been erected by pri-
waite subscription, tie funds coming largo
~ from newspaper nor themselves.
ProbnblT few pcoplo know where Gap
land is or have ever heard of it. Tho place
has received Its name sirco tho war, hut
every inch of tho ground around it is his
tniic. 1t Is n gap in tho South mountain
range, near the tiny village of Burl.itts-
willie, Which Is about 12 miles from Fred
cricli, tho capital of the county. In this
gap was fought the battle Of South Noun
tain, whcro the armies of Mcclellan md
Lee first met after lodging each other for
year. Just over on the other side of tho
mountain is the bloody battlefield Of Antic-
tam, where leo learned that his soldiers
wcrc no better, man to man, than those of
Mcclellan. Four miles from Gapland is
the place where, in 1859, John Brown hid
to pounco upon tho armory ut Harpcr's
Ferry.
The structure that is to commemorate
tic deeds of tho army reporters and war
artists Is located on South mountain itself

"llastcn!' tho watchwortls Of tho war cor
