England keeps insisting that she
doesn't want to fight and expects the
world to believe it. But she hurries
work on Il better and a bigger navy.
Perhaps the bigger the navy the longer
the peace it will stand for, according
to the new thought. Strangely enough.
England thinks that somebody wants
to fight, and she has taken the initia-
tive In calling a congress at London to
tinker up the rules for the code for
maritime conduct in time Of war.
One Of the points left unsettled at
the second Hague conference was the
question Of private property rights Mt
sea during n war. The United States
has held for the past fifty years that
private property at sea should be ex-
empt from capture. Our representa-
tives brought the question before the
representatives Of ether powers at The
Hague, but it received no indorse-
ment. Now England seeks to have all
carried on under a neutral
flag lawful and immune from capture.
Perhaps it's the English s%hopkeeper
and not the British lingo who wants
the code made more favorable for
trade at sea.

Hooker had decided to retreat ran thru
the camps like wildfire. The men could

were not conscious of defeat; in fact,
nobody had been really whipped except
small portion of the Eleventh Corps,
and the remainder of that corps was
particularly anxious to renew the fight
in order to wipe out the shame of the
surprise and rout. Sickles's and SlO-

the most of the fighting, felt entirely
satisfied with themselves and the way

reconnaissance from our side, which
met such prompt resistance that it was
recalled, and with this all thought of
the offensive faded from HOoker's mind.
His only idea now was to save as much
of his army as possible. He had crossed
the river with eight days rations. and
seven days had passed. The rivers be-
sudden rain would swell them beyond
their banks, making a recrossing impos-
sible. Already they had risen until the
pontoons first laid were insufficient and
had to be pieced out by boats taken
from the other bridges. Beyond the
thought of saving that part of his army
with him, Hooker did not seem able to
go. He knew that Sedgwick still MAIN

occurred to him the possibility, the
brilliant prospect even, of detaching a
portion of his forces and sending them
upon swift march to Sedgwick

could crush Lee and thus bring
the campaign to a victorious ter
Hill, the higheat point in the neighbor-
hood of Fredericksburg, and the new
routes which had been established by
the laying of the bridges at Scotts Ford
reduced the distance between the two
TANKS of Hooker's army to five or six
miles. Under any circumstances Hook
er could have relied upon $1,000 or 20,-
900 of his men to hold the line of works
which he had constructed. Had his
been a military mind on the order of
Grants, Sheridan's or Hancock's, he
would have put himself at the head of
Reynolds's, Couch's and Meade's Corps
and made a rush for Sedgwick on the
nights above Fredericksburg. This
movement would have redeemed all his
former misfortunes, and inevitably over
whelmed Lee in the open fields beyond
Salem Church, where Hooker's great
preponderance of fresh troops would

When they were assembled Hooker ex-

Howard, Reynolds and myself were
