old Soldier Not Forgotten.

We do not think that our people al
ways sufficiently consider how much
this nation has cost in blood and tears.
Measured thus, it is precious beyond
words. We all love it, though we
sometimes fail to serve it unsefshly.
The fact that we do thus fail makes il
necessary that we should constantly
recur to the examples of those who
counted no sacrifice too great to make
in behalf Of their country. 1t is
sometimes said that the Union soldier
is forgotten, that he has done his
work, and that the people no longer
care about him. He has not been for
gotten. People do still care about
him. And his work viii never be
done. That work, indeed, grows in
importance with the passing years.
For what is it but to preach constant
" righteousness, courage, patriotism,
unselfish devotion to duty and heroic
sacrifice? And this work can be, and
is. done by the dead as well as the
living. There is abundant use yet to
be made of the old soldier. He stands
and will ever stand for the ideal in
life. for the doing of duty rather THAI
the winning of personal success.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FIRST MEMORIAL EXERCISES
Ceremonies on Gettysburg Field Marked Begin s
ming of Beautiful Custom


On the field of Gettysburg there Is
spot between the original cemetery
laid out for Union dead and Round
Top, marked with many monuments
and mounted cannon, which is known
as the high water mark" of the bat
tie. 1t is also appropriately known as
the high water mark OF the rebel
lion" Here few of Picketts soldiers
reached the Union line and pierced it.
There they fell while their comrades
or those left of them, slowly retreat
ed through a fire which it was be-
yond human power to face and with
stand. Back with them went the hope
of the confederacy.
The news from Gettysburg and
vicksburg reached the country, North
and South, on the same day, July 4,
1868, was to the North and South
what that pause is to two wresuers
when one has secured the fatal hold
which the other knows he cannot
break. When Vicksburg fell and Lee
set out on his bitter retreat from his
second unsuccessful invasion of the
North, the outcome of the civil war
was decided. For this alone the
stretch of fields and hills and wood
land that lies beyond the sleepy little
Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg will
be memorable to the eyes of Ameri-
cans for all time to come. 1t interests
the student of history for the same
reason. Gettysburg will have it's place
on the page with Marathon, Tours,
Orleans, Lutzen, Yorktown and Wa
terloo, when Shiloh and Bull Run and
Malvern Hill shall have been forgot

that is honored with reverence by the
patriot. is of little or no interest to
the soldier. Here again Gettysburg
is fortunate in it's attraction, in its
claim to celebrity. 1t was the climax
in the offensive operations of Robert
E. Lee, and where military tactics are
studied there will Lees career be
conned alike by the expert, the gray
haired tactician, the subaltern, amDl-
tious of promotion and the cadet seek
ing his shoulder-straps. Gettysburg,
like Waterloo, is impossible OF repe-
tition at the close ranges at which
both were fought. But the general
strategy of one field is still of as much
importance as the other-the thanking,
the massing of artillery, the protection
of line of communication, the use or
misuse of cavalry, the preparations
of means for retreat.
But Gettysburg also appeals with
the same strength to the average Wis
itor who knows nothing of strategy,
and whose familiarity with history has
lapsed with the distance in years that
lies between him and the dog-eared
pages of his school books. 1t is all SO
plainly writ, in location, in natural
outline of the smiling countryside, in
monuments and marking guns, that he
who runs may read.
Roughly, Gettysburg is a letter H,
with opposing lines parallel and the
course of Pickett's charge on the third
day forming the crossbar. The
Round Tops and Gettysburg town are
at opposite ends. The Emmitsburg
road, on which Buford with his caval-
~ came cautiously scouting along to-
ward the town on the last day OF
June, lies between the bars Of the
letter and parallel with them. The
Chambersburg road, along which the
confederates were feeling their way at
the same time, bends around what
was afterward the confederate left TO
enter Gettysburg. Because those col
umns met there was a battle here,
for each side hurried up its strength
to meet the other when their leaders
learned that the feeler columns had
met and touched.
This was on July /, and because
Gen. Lees forces hurried up faster
than did Gen. Meade's 1t was an I'M
fortunate day for the Union troops.
