When the comrades have departed,
w hen the veterans are no more,

When life's weary march is ended,
When the camp fires slu1nber long,
Who will tell the world the story
When we boys are gone?
There was a crowded house and but few
dry eyes at the conclusion of this pathetic
song. The services closed by prayer by

Der and the roll of honor is increasing each

population of the cities of the silent dead. =.
