ARMY OF VETERANS
HOMEWARD BOUND
"Rear March" From Gettysburg
Begins in Earnest.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 5.-Only the
presence of the president of the Unit.
ed States, who addressed the veter-
ans Of the great encampment, stayed
the rear march" from the field of
Gettysburg on the fourth day OF the
semi-centennial celebration. Bearing
the mess kits which are to be their
personal mementos of the reunion the
army Of old soldiers began the home
ward retreat.
1t was estimated that before noon
$4,000 had left the field The great
rush will begin shortly when the rail.
road facilities will be tested to the
limit. Special trains are leaving the
city at short intervals to carry the
hurrying throngs.
Major J. e. Normoyle, the army Of
ficer who arranged the big camp for
the celebration, is the recipient of
hearty congratulations on the perfect
sanitary arrangements that prevail.
Despite the fact that more than $4,000
men have crowded 1t for nearly a
week the camp Is In an unusually
good sanitary condition.

done in the heroic days of war, be-
cause harder to see clearly, requiring
more vision, more calm balance of
judgment, a more candid searching of
the very springs of right.
Great Tasks Remain.
II have been chosen the leader of
the nation. / cannot justify the choice
by any qualities of my own, but so it
has come about, and here I stand.
Whom do | command? The ghostly
hosts who fought upon these battle
fields long ago and are gone? These
gallant gentlemen stricken in years,
whose fighting days are over, their
glory won? What are the orders for
them, and who rallies them? / have
in my mind another host, whom these
set free of civil strife in order that
they might work out in days of peace
and settled order the life of a great
nation. That host is the people them
selves, the great and the small, with
out class or difference of kind or race
or origin and undivided in interest, If
we have but the vision to guide and
direct them and order their lives
Alright in what we do. Our constitu-
tions are their articles Of enlistment.
The orders of the day are the laws
upon our statute books. What we
strive for is their freedom, their right
to lift themselves from day to day
and behold the things they have hoped
for and so make way for still better
days for those whom they love who
are to come after them. The recruits
are the little children crowding In.
The quartermaster's stores are in the
mines and forests and fields, in the
shops and factories. Every day some
thing must be done to push the cam.
paigA forward, and it must be done by
plan and with an eye to some great
destiny"

BANDITS HOLD UP
PASSENGER TRAIN
Not Yet Known How Much
Booty Was Secured.

Memphis, Tenn, July 5.-Four ban
dts held up southbound passenger
train No. 1 on the Illinois Central
railroad south of Batesville, Miss,
awed the train and locomotive crews
with weapons, blew open the safe in
the express car, ransacked the mail
packages and escaped.
None OF the passengers was molest-
ed because the bandits compelled the
locomotive crew to detach the mail,
express and baggage cars and run
them some distance from the passen-
ger coaches. After they finished their
work in the mail car the robbers ran
the locomotive to Enid, Miss, and
fed to the open country.
Bloodhounds were placed on their
trail and few hours after the rob-
berry big posse was in pursuit.
Whether the bandits escaped with
much loot Is not known. 1t has not
been determined whether other than
route shipments were carried on the
express car.

Men Do Read
Advertisements.

There has been some lively dis
cussion on this subject lately and
at a dinner of advertising men in
one of the larger cities recently a
prominent advertiser rose and as
serted that ''after all, very few
men read advertisements"
"You are absolutely wrong" re-
torted another advertising man, the
manager of advertising in a de-
partment store. I'VE had a sale of
shirts one day last week that was
the most successful in the history
of our business. Ninety-nine per
cent of those who came in and
bought were men. They came in
direct response to our newspaper
advertisement"
Everywhere in every station of
life men find interest in advertis-
ing. 1t may not be clothing, shoes
or hats; but it may be something
that relates to real estate, banking,
the stock market, to automobiles
to any of the thousand and one
things that constantly form the
, subject of wide-awake advertising.
