military men say always adds sub

which is in any man. Some authcri-
ties have said that there were 100000
men in the Confederate forces at Get

that the Confederate force was $4,000

0VYAsHINGTON.-It is posi-.
" BILE. some people would say
probable, that the Battle Of
Gettysburg changed utterly
the course Of American his
tory. It was a great fight between
armies of Americans. for probably
fully ninety per cent Of the men who
fought on the two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was Of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
fleets credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry Of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor of the North
and the South. The South lost the
fight, but 1t lost 1t honorably and
with the prestige Of its soldiery un.
dimmed. The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every man felt might mean death at
the end. The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were Of the kind which It takes
Iron In the blood to make perfect. At
Gettysburg Northerners and South.
erners replenished their store of re.
spect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide of the war
between the states. After it the
South largely was on the defensive,
but its defense was maintained with
tortitude and in the face Of privations
which could not chill the blood Of
men fighting for what they thought
was the right.
The Northern armies were persis-
tent In their attacks through the cam
paigns which after few months were
started aginst the objective point,
Richmond. Brave men here and brave
men there, and after the end came it
was the qualities which keep com.
pany with bravery which made the
soldiers Of the North and South so
ready to forget and to forgive and to
work again for the good Of a COM
mon country.
The great battle Of Charlottesville
was fought not long before the oppos-
Ing Union and Confederate forces met
on the field Of Gettysburg. Chancel.
lorsville was Confederate victory.
The Southern government believed
that the victory should be followed up
by an invasion Of the North for. ac-

a courier to Meade saying that the
high ground above Gettysburg was

Not long after this message was sent
to Meade General Reynolds who dis

The forces employed against him
here were greater than his own, and
after hard fighting Seminary Ridge
was given up. The first days battle
was in effect and in truth victory
for the Southern arms. On the night
Of July General Hancock arrived
and succeeded in rallying the Union
forces and putting new heart into the
men. General Meade on that night
ordered the entire army to Gettys-
burg.
Victory Not Followed Up.
For some reason or other perhaps
unknown to this day, what was virtu-
ally Confederate victory on the first
Of July was not followed up by Cen
eral Lee early on the next morning.
General Meade therefore succeeded in
Strengthening his lines and in pre-.
pairing for tho greater conflict. One
end Of the Union line was some dis.
tance east Of Cemetery Hill on Rock
Creek. another end was at Round Top
something more than two miles be-
yond Cemetery Hill to the south. The
Confederate line confronting 1t was
somewhat longer.
