triots at Bunker Hill fought against the
veteran English army that had never

captured the cannon the Americans kept

late civil war fought bravely for the flag

they have taught her to walk confident

the army has done for Cuba 1t can and
will do for the Philippines.
In the exercises of Memorial day do
not fail to notice the significance of the
little flags of the Union set to the graves
of the departed soldiers. The flag is
there because of the strong attachment
the soldier has for the banner of the ma
ton, under which he fought and for
which the victims of the war now sleep.
All the colors of the Vermont regi-
