PAYS TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.
Colonel Palmer Says the Civil War
Was "Won From the Rear"

That the civil war was won from
the rear, was the startling statement
made at the Soldiers Reunion, by
Col. David ]. Palmer of Washington.
la. This remark quickly transformed
itself into a glowing tribute to wo-
manhood and motherhood.
Mr.. Palmer recalled to his COM
rades of 81 the picture of the part
ing made ties to take up the burden
of war. He pictured the family of mo-
theirs and sweethearts. of their grief
and Of their courage. Concluding he
said:
Those mothers never went to bed
at night without kneeling down and
uttering up petition asking God to
take care of my son or my father or
my husband. There, my comrade, is
where we got the strength. We got it
from the rear, from our fathers and
mothers that might have been left at
home, and from our sweethearts.
submit to you, my fellow citizens,
that there is not soldier in this
crowd tonight, or any other crowd OF
soldiers you might find, that received
letter from home telling them TO
throw down their guns and come
home; that we need you here. Was 1t
encouraging to you and me to get a
letter from mother? 1t certainly was.
1t breathed loyalty from the first word
to the last. Stand by your guns, was
what that breathed to you and me;
and did that mean anything to us? Is
that anything that we might have
right to think about today. that we
had such mothers, that we had such
queens of the home behind us to
take care of things while We were
away from home? All, my comrades,
we can never forget those grand wo-
men that remained at home picking
lint at the late hour of the night, do
ing up sanitary stores. spending time
at that and sending it down to the
hospitals in 'front.'
