SANCTIFIFD BY BLOOD
An Address of President Roosevelt Di- recting Americans Again to the Les-
 sons Taught by the Strife Whose
 Deadliest Incident Was Gettysburg.

lowed by the blood of half hundred | thousand brave rien and in the pres ence of a concourse of thousands who
 had assembled to pay tribute to the ! memory of the nations dead, President i Roosevelt today delivered a notable ad- dress. On nearly the same spo:. on No- vember 19, 1863 President Lincoln de- fvered his immortal address, enunciat- | ing principles which have rung around the world for more than a third of a century.
 President Roosevelt was escorted to the cemetery on the battlefield by a bodyguard of several hundred veterans of the civil war. The president and his snecial escort were preceded by sev- eral organizations, including a squadron Of United States cavalry, the Third Un- | .ted States artillery and the Marine banG of Washington, which had been ordered here for the occasion. Mrs. Roosevelt and other members of the | D: esident's party followed in carriages. The rear of the procession consisted Df civic organizations and citizens in carriages, Governor Pennypacker pre- sided at the ceremonies, which were ! held on a rostrum in the cemetery. At ter the memor: Il day services of the C.. A. R. had been concluded and the pu- pills of the public schools had strewn | flowers over the graves of the thousands of dead during which the Marine band played a solemn dirge, Rev. Dr. Ed
 ward Everett Hale, chaplain of the United States senate, pronounced the invocation. The president was then in troduced by Governor Penny packer. 1 As Mir. Roosevelt began to speak a downpour of rain began and continued throughout the time he addressed the great assemblage. He was accorded an enthusiastic reception notwithstanding the rain, and the crowd CT 10000 people in the cemetery remained to hear the address despite the thorough drenching they received.
 Referring, at the beginning to the allusicn of Governor Pennypacker to the death of Senator Quay, the president said: Governor Pennypacker alluded to the fact that today Pennsylvania mourns it's senior senator. The regi- ment which Senator Quay vas instru- mental in raising took part in this bat tie of Gettysburg-a battle in which Governor Pennypacker shared. Senator Quay was not with it. He had gone with another regiment and it is appro- priate at this tirle to recall the fact that when the term of service of that regiment expired. just before F'reder- icksburg, Senator Quay declined to &C., cept his discharge and continued as q volunteer with the army that fought at Fredericksburg and won q medal of honor on that bloody day." Continu- i ing the president said:
 WHILE TIME ENDURES.
 The place where we now are has won double distinction. Here was fought one of the greatest battles of all time. and here was spoken one of the few speeches which shall last through the ages. As long as this republic endures or it's history is known, so long shall the
 memory of the battle of Gettysburg
 likewise endure and be known; and as | long as the English tongue is under stood so long shall Abraham Lincoln s Gettysburg speech thrill the hearts of
 mankind.
 The civil war was q great war for righteousness: a war waged for the
 noblest ideals, but waged also in thor
 oughgoing, practical fashion. It was
 one of the few wars which mean, in
 their successful outcome, a lift toward
 better things for the nations of man. kind. Some wars have meant the tri- umph of order over anarchy and licen- l tiousnoss masquerading as liberty;
 some wars have meant the triumph of Liberty over tyrrany masquerading as
 order; but this victorious war of ours
 meant the triumph of both liberty and
 order, the triumph of orderly liberty,
 the bestowal of civil rights upon the
 freed slaves, and at the same time tha stern insistance on the supremacy oi
 the national law throughout the length
 and breadth of the land. Moreover | this was one of those rare contests in which it was to the immeasurable in- terest of the vanquished that they
 should lose, while at the same time th=
 victors acquired the precious privileg, of transmitting to those who came af- ter them, as a heritage of honor for ever, not only the memory of their owT valiant deeds, but the memory of tho deeds of those who, no less valiantly and with equal sincerity of purpose fought against the stars in thei courses. The war left to us all, as fel- low countrymen, as brothers, the right
 to rejoice that the union has been re-
 stored in indestructible shape in q
 country where slavery no longer mock: the EOaSI or IfeeuOIil, anu dlSO llle IlSll
 10 rejoice with exultant pride in tn:
 courage, the self-sacrifice and the de
 votion, alike of the men who wore ths
 blue and the men who wore the gray.
