The war of 1915 will never cease-at

Sorting interest. This is so, because it
was q war of giants; because many. OF
those giants still survive its yicissitudes;
it's hair breadth escapes, and me i mmi-

soldiers: that the matter was finally de-
bated IN the Confederate Senate, and the

desperate circumstances of the Confed-
eracyz became so visible that the leaders
saw the doom of Richmond and the
cause draft order was issued to force
the black soldier to fight under the Con-
federate. flag, but that before it could be
made effective, the fall of Richmond, and
the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand.

this time in view of the present propa-
ganda of the Southern people, to debase
