Although the horrors Of war are

conflict is between brothers a nd
the struggle is a long and desper-
ate ore the evidences are numerous
that. underneath the passion ami
bitterness of our civil war, thera
were coupler currents Of kindly feel
ing. spirit Of genuine friendliness
peryading the opposing camps. This
friendliness was something deeper
than the expression of mere human
instinct; the combatants felt that
they we're indeed brothers. Acts
of kindness to wounded enemies be-
gan to be noted at Bull Run, while
in every campaign useless picket fir
ing was almost uniformly diseounter
aneed and the men shook hands at
the outposts and talked confidingly
of their private affairs and their
trials and hardships in the army Thi
feeling. confined perhaps, to men
on the very front line eliminated
at Appomattox, where the yietors
shared rations with their late an
tagonists and generously offered
them help in repairing the wastes
of battle.

his faith in the good intentions of

appear to the world at large a
