The Coming Gettysburg Reunion.


Preparations virtually have been COM
pleted for the reunion Of the Blue and
the Gray on the field of Gettysburg on
the fiftieth anniversary days of the great
battle The commission appointed by
pennsylvania TO make arrangements for
the reception and entertainment of the
OF the northern and southern armies will
be present. and that large percentage
OF them will be men who fought on the
ground where they are to meet again
half a century after,
If the Spanish war had not taught the
army certain lessons ii is probable that
there would be no great encampment of
veterans on the field of Gettysburg next
July. More men died from disease dur
ing the Spanish war than were killed by
bullets. and a great many of the deaths
occurred in the camps established in this
country. The men who went into the
field i'll 1888 were mostly young men.
and vet they fell as easy victims before
the assault o. diseases spring'ng from
bad sanitary surroundings. The lessons
learned were sharp. but they were re-
membered.
Two years ago last March 12.OO0 United
States regulars were encamped in Texas.
There were virtually no deaths from dis
ease. although the encampment was con-
tinuej into the hot weather months. The
medical service OF the army was equal
to the occasion. AT the Gettysburg re-
union $1,000 men of an average age of
sixty-five years will be under canvas.
The problem of safeeua riding the health
OF men of this age. of course. is greater
than would be the case II the encamp-
ment was one of young and hardy reg
ulars. The medical authorities believe
that they can safeguard the health and
the lives of the old soldiers II II can be
done a most striking example will be
given of the advance in medical science
in fifteen years. especially as applied to
armies in the field.
