sblIob as a Battle of chances.

In summing up the battle of Shiloh
It is apparent that chance played the
most important part in 1t. The chance
that delayed Buell. in the first days
fight the chance that put him on the
scene in time to snatch victory from
defeat, the chance that delayed John
ston on the first day. the chance that
Grant took when he did not intrench,
the chance that led Grant to recall
Wallace from going blindly into what
would have been the most important
position on the field, and the chance
that struck down the only man who
had a clear conception of the situation
Johnston. Clearly it was battle
of chances. Yet there was another
chance. The golden opportunity the
Union troops neglected by not press
ing on after the retiring Confeder-
ates.

StoryThat
Will Never
Grow Old

-" HE American people honor
,GTGMM today those who fought
EE and those who fell in what
OH will ever be for this nation
~ ,O0sV the Great War.
NSf1 The story of this war
will never grow old while
the republic endures. Since the last
shot was fired new generation has
arisen and another is rising. Yet the
boy of fourteen today is as keen to
read and speak of the Great Civil War,
as was his father twenty-five or thirty
years ago
1t was different from other wars. 1t
was not fought for land or room or
to reach the sea, nor for an interna-
tional position. Much less was 1t
fought for dynasty or a personality,
or against any of these.
The American Civil war presents
the unique spectacle of conflict ar
raging a whole nation in arms for
ideas-for principles so firmly held
that both sides were ready to die for
between conflicting ideas of society
and government DeIore tne tTlDuudl Vi
the God of Battles.
1t was waged on both sides with
zeal born of absolute conviction in
the Righteousness of the cause. 1t was
waged until the victors had well-nigh
exterminated their opponents, as the
scars of the south after nearly half
a century still bear witness. And 1t
was the final Civil war for the Ameri-
can people. They may disagree. and
disorderly factions may rise In arms.
But never again can they be so divid-
ed as they were then. In a furnace
heat that tested human will to the
limit of endurance has been welded
their national unity.
The character of the conflict whose
glory and whose sorrow 1t recalls is
what makes our Memorial day festi-
val unknown to other nations. On
this day we honor, as we should, the
memory of the brave in all the repub-
lies wars But we also celebrate as
that which gives to the day its unique
and distinguishing significance and
that which sets us apart from all 9th
er peoples the Great War that in very
deed truly made as well as saved the
American republic.

is perfectly natural, of course, that
there should be a number of New
York men who were in the front ranks
in forcing the famous Confederate re-
treat at Antietam An interesting
page in the stirring history of this
great battle is supplied by John Kel-
ley, ex-commander of Farragut post:
1--WE started the attack at daybreak,
said Mr.. Kelley, in recalling the de-
cisive day THE resistance offered
by the Confederates was amazingly
stubborn. The proportion of fatalities
in the next few hours on both sides
was appalling The fight went on
without interruption for five long
hours. Then came the retreat and
our decisive victory. We read about
the enemy's retreating in good order,
but my experience does not supply
any illustrations; certainly nothing
of this sort was seen at Anuetam
when the break came it was all
one wild desperate scramble. In the
picture books the troops may retire
in regular column formation, with
every line straight and all the flags
flying, but in actual warfare it is very
different. Our fire was whitening, and
the Confederates ran for their lives.
We had come so close together by the
end of the five hours engagement that
in many places it amounted to hand
to-hand conflict. The enemy ran,
jumping, stumbling over their dead
and the earthworks they had defended
a few hours before. And we followed
them so closely that in many places
the two lines intermingled. We ran
shouting, stumbling, over the rough
ground in a long struggling line, with
the careful alignment of our parades
all forgotten. 1t was glorious vic
tory, but the field looked very little
like the conventional pictures of the
story books New York Herald.
