critical of Gen. Joe Johnston for not
winning victory over Sherman at Re-
SAGA. but 1t is not apparent how he
could have done SO with Sherman as
careful as he was to keep all his corps
and divisions within good supporting
distance of each other. Undoubtedly
Hood, who was not friendly to John
ston. had something to do with inspir-
ing these criticisms, since Hood scorned
the Fabian tactics in which Johnston
excelled. and burned to bring the mat
ter quickly to the issue of a battle. At
that time Hood had the most un-
bounded confidence in what he could
accomplish by attacking with resolu-
ton and spirit, belief that was later
to cost the South heavy toll, which
was paid by the blood of its brayest
men. In answer to these criticisms

Army Posts, WOmaus Relief Corps and
all other patriotic organizations and So
cieties, which may have been formed
haring similar ends in view, to begin

brating that important event.
Osborn II. Oldroyd. whose residence is
now in the same house in which Lincoln
died at Washington, D. c., has prepared
an appropriate service to commemorate
that occasion.
The program, containing some 20 num-
bers, consists of songs. recitations and

movement and reply to the enemy's
cannonade. The skirmish line had been
advanced to the edge of the wood on
the far side, and kept the lead until
we approached the Confederate
