REMINDER OF THE DAYS BE-
FORE THE BATTLE OF
GETTYSBURG.
UNABLE TO HANDLE CROWD
Flood of Men in Blue and Gray Keeps
ouartermaster's Crew Busy Whole
Night Trying tp Provide Adequate
Shelter for Them.

Gettysburg, July despite the
strenuous efforts of the regular army
to do impossible things, thousands OF
veterans spent the night on Gettys-
burg field with nothing between them
and the stars but their clothing and
their courage, and nothing between
them and the hard earth but little
more OF the same thing.
1t wasn't the fault of the regulars
and it wasn't the fault OF the veter-
ans. The railroads poured the thou
sands into Gettysburg the best they
could, but train after train that was
looked for early came crawling in
near midnight and afterwards.
They kept coming from that hour
until long after daybreak and shortly
after breakfast the rush began again.
Mai. Normoyle of the quartermaster's
department, U. S. A., who has the
pulse of the vast camp under his fin
gers, went to bed not al all and the
little force of army officers went no
more than he They toiled with all
the vigor in them 70 provide blankets.

Grams that everything would be all
right this morning. They shifted
Liains, they ran engines, they manipu-
.ated switches with the ease of born
railroad men They became infor-
nation bureaus and pack horses, but
Sill the flood ri fNn tn ta as
gray came pouring in and the tide
rose higher and higher
Maj. Normoyle declared today that
probably $4,000 veterans would be on
the field by night, 5000 more than
ever have been looked for in the Wild
est dreams of the estimators. Al
though half that number would fill
,ie camp in comfortable fashion, Mai.
/ Normoyle said he would see that ey-
| cry one was taken care of; that no
body went hungry and that blankets
to warm ana tents to protect were
found for all I'm the rounds the regu-
! aars made of yhe main streets of the
camp in the early morning hours they
ran into many things that made them
swear. While other veterans shivered
n the chill before the dawn they
found a Pennsylvania in his tent
snug as a bug in rug, lying on three
blankets with three under him and
aine beneath his cot
The Pennsylvania was keeping
them for his friends, he said, but the
hard-hearted regulars couldn't see the
| friends and the Pennsylvania was
separated from all but two of the
blankets in short order.
Many of the men of '63 spent the
night round the fires near the cook
tents, talking and trying to forget
that their bones were not SO young
as they used to be and that the
ground was much harder than it was
20 years ago.
Although the railroads were not
good to the veterans, nature was
thoughtful and the usual cold breeze
that springs up in the early morning
hours did not visit the camp; there
was only slight fall Of dew and
practically no suffering.
