TINETY- SEVEN years ago yester-
M day-Feb. IS. 1815-a president
ial proclamation announced to
the American people the end Of our

1t was a funny affair. that war OF

and it continued after the peace treaty
had been signed The bloodiest battle
Of the war, that at New Orleans, was
Fought two weeks after the British and
american commissioners had negotiated
the peace Of Client. There were no
telegraphs in those days, there were
not even steamships. News Travelled
slowly, and when odd Hickory found
Fakenham's veterans standing up with
eVldent hostile intent before his lines
at New Orleans he thought they were

hospitable graves
Compared with the civil war, the
war OF u was a mere trifle. In the
pattle OF Gettysburg alone there were
nearly i've times as many men killed
ana wounded as there were in the
whole war OF 1912. The figures will
speak Tor themselves. The American
loss throughout the war OF 70 was
1871 while the killed at Gettysburg
alone numbered $500.
