military airs.
 Advocated BattIeship Building. Colonel Andrew Cowan of Louis viIle, Ky, acted as presiding officer of the day. Colonel Cowan was of 1 hcer ill an Union battery which play ed 8 part in the Gettysburg campaign. He brought the veterans to their feet when he began to praise Major Nor movie, Captain Dalton and the other officers of the regular army who con duct the big camp. They have earned enduring fame and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts, he said. Colonel Cowan turned to the navy and the Japanese situation. We ought to build two battleships for every one laid down by Japan he said, and the veterans cheered again and again.
 "The people on the seacoast cities ought not to be left without protection. We ought to be prepared to demand
 peace
 LincoIn's Gettysburg Address Read. Other speakers of the day were Ma l jor General John R. Brooke, of Penn borough of North Carolina and Lieutenant Governor Burc11ard of Rhode Island, representing the armies ! of the north and the south. Barry Buckley of Washington read Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Governor Bur- OItoLh 4iIddS ct OCCIOSd u1I W1tn the N6l- erans. One of the most remarkable figures ip camp today was that of Gen eral FunkEauses of Virginia, who is 76 years old but was vigorous enough in the hot sun to hunt up the head I quarters tent of Brigadier General 1iggett and /pay his respects The gray haired Confederate general who fought all through the war delighted the general of the newer army and his subordinate officers with his stories.
 Confederate Generals Story. At the battle of Fort Stedman" he
 said. my regiment, for l was a colonel then. charged the fort in the heart of Drake's lines and captured it. I saw we could not hold the position. and I >told my men they could do what they pleased. Many of us started back.
 Just as we got little way from the
 fort in sunny court an officer ran up to me, Surrender he yelled. Y thought he was a rebel. too, and I said> What are you talking about? Pm a confederate.' Surrender he yelled
 again, I'm a union officer and want
 your sword Just then one of my boys
 came running up. He had his bayonet in his rifle. and I turned to him lab
 your bayonet into this damned Yankee
 if he don't surrender I said. He jab- bed it against the Yankees side and he passed his sword over.
 Grants Men Recapture Fort. |, -T didn't keep him prisoner verT | long, though continued the general. i About three minutes later Grants
 men came along and took the fort back
 and he was released, and I was prisoner with all the rest of the men
 who had stormed it.'
 Here is another story that wandered 1 into camp today, and although the 1 names are missing, from the way the
 old veterans are showing their will l ingness to forget. fl seems entirely be- 1 revable:
 Literal Buryins of Hatchet Two veterans, one in blue and the other in gray. met downtown in Get ] tysburg They literally feu in one an others arms and after a tour of the town they hit upon a great scheme. They walked hand in hand through the streets to a hardware store, bought hatchet and tramped mile and a half to the battlefield. They hunted up the Bloody Angle where Pfckett's charge
 reached it's crest. dug a hole in the
 ground there and with tears and more embraces buried the hatchet. Many Veterans Lose Tickets. Thousands of veterans left the camp and Gettysburg today for their homes, and thousands more probably will l leave tom oTrow
 So many cases have been reported of veterans losing their return railroad tickets, and the consequent distress be- cause of the inability to purchase transportation. that Governor Tener today notified General Liggett. the 1 United States army officer in charge of l the camp. that the state of Pennsylva- l mia will pay the return fare of all vet erans who have lost their tickets, no matter in what part of the United 1 States they reside.
 Will Charge and Shake Hands. l One of the picturesque events of the l celebration is scheduled for tomorrow
 at the Bloody Angle, when the Phila- delphia brigade of the union army and
 survivors of Pickett's division will form on opposite sides of the stane i wall where the charge stopped. They will charge as best they can with their 1 burden of years, but when they reach
 the wall they will stop and shake hands On this spot they expect to
 pick out location for a $250, 900 monu-
 ment which they hope to have congress erect there.
