said
Our regular army is an honor to
the nation 1t ought to be twice as
large. Our navy has won the adj
miration of the world, but we ought
to build two battleships for every
one laid down by Japan. Our coast
cities, with their great wealth, are
exposed to hostile attack. Why
should they live in fear?
I'VE have become a world power,
whether for good or ILL., who can say?
We must protect our coast possess
sions. We must guard our immense
seacoast against invasion. Let us
be prepared to command peace.
"Our nation maintains military
academy at West Point and naval
academy at Annapolis to educate the
army and navy. Their capacity
should be greatly increased. If we
measure the great services which
graduates from West Point and
Annapolis have performed with the
expense of maintaining these famous
schools, 1t seems to have been the
wisest expenditure of the govern
ment."
Colonel Cowan eulogized Colonel

performing in building the Panama
Canal and of those aiding him in the
work. whose names are seldom men

Hill after that Union stronghold had
been made the target for hundred
cannon for more than an hour. While
the craftsmanship of the Confederate
artillerymen was deadly and the
losses of the men in blue something
terrific, they held their ground and
beat back the charging host.
One section of the line was pierced
by Early's force and battery of ar
tillery was captured. But fresh
troops drove out the invaders and re-
captured some of the guns. The as
sault on Culp's Hill, on the extreme
right of the Union line, was partially
successful and a force under Johnson
took ground on the slope, which they
managed to hold all night.
just at sunset Hancock ordered a
charge along the line from Cemetery
Hill to the south, and the Confeder-
ates. who had been threatening this
position, were driven back with heavy
losses to the positions they had vacat-
ed to deliver their attack
There was no part of the field where
the lighting was not desperate during
every one of the strong positions and
kept the troops occupying them so
busy that there was no chance from
one more sorely pressed to get assist

BATTLE FLAG LOST FIFTY
YEARS AGO Is LOCATED

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July AFTER
fifty years, the survivors of the
Twenty eighth Virginia Infantry
learned today what became of their
battle flag which was captured in the
fighting of the third day at the stone
wall where the high water mark of
the rebellion was reached.
An old Confederate veteran wan
dered about the camp last night and
became lost. Ultimately he turned
up in Minnesota street and was in
vited into the tent of some survivors
of the First Minnesota regiment.
"Who were you WITH" asked the
Virginian's hosts.
II belonged to the Virginia outfit,
was the reply. 1.-The Twenty eighth"
THAT would have been Olmstead's
forces" continued the Minnesotan.
Fright" echoed the Confederate.
I'VE met you off yonder where the
fighting was thickest."
"Well, I'll be burned cried the
Minnesotan. What do you make of
that?"
Then a twinkle came into his eyes.
"Comrade," he asked, what became
of your battle flag that day."
"You Yanks got it, an that's all |
know"
Fright" cried the Minnesotan.

the tents, played such fanfare as
only drums and flies can make, sum-
moned forth the occupants and shook
hands. threw their arms about the
gray shoulders and in dozen other
ways showed their feelings of friend
ship.
They kept 1t up for hour after hour
and visited practically every "reb'
tent Their reception was as warm
as their greeting.
Low Death Rate Amazes.
Colonel Bradley, the army officer
in charge of the hospitals where the
veterans are taken, was surprised to-
day when the records from all the
hospitals under his command were
turned in. Only $40 veterans re-
manned in the hospitals over night,
and scores of them were not suffer-
ing from heat prostration, but from
the ordinary ailments OF old age and
camp life.
OF the $40 in the army hospitals 265
had been received in previous days
of the encampment, so that the total
of those who were received yeSter-
day, and who were in such condition
as to require rest and medical super
vision, was less than one hundred.
The Pennsylvania State hospital
camp has treated fewer men than
has the army, and the total number
of these in camp and in Gettysburg
who gave up to the heat and ordinary
sickness was under five hundred.
Only six men have died in camp
since Sunday, a record which has
amazed the doctors when 1t is consid-
cred that more than $4,000 old men
are here.
The second death of a veteran in
the town of Gettysburg occurred this
morning. The victim was Landes

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July In
Vulnerable stories are being related
of interesting happenings connected
with the reunion. Chief Clerk George
G. Thornton, of the State department
at Harrisburg, told today of the call
made by Union veteran early on the
morning of the fiftieth anniversary
of the start of the battle who related
that his conscience troubled him De
cause of the fact that on that fatal
morning many years ago he had sue
cumbed to temptation and stolen
quantity of onions from the Thorne
garden, which was located near the
historic Seminary Ridge. He told
Thorne that he desired at this late
day to pay for the onions and thus
relieve his conscience. Needless TO
say his offer of money was refused,
but the Thornes would like to learn
the identity of the soldiers who upset
eight bee-hives in the dead of night
and appropriated all the honey they
contained.
A romance developed in camp today
when John Goodwin, Of New York,
a veteran, and Margaret Murphy, OF
Chicago, were united in marriage by
Squire Harnish. F'orty-six years ago
the two were engaged, but they sub
sequently married. They became wild
over and widow, the old flame was
rekindled and they agreed to come to
Gettysburg on the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the battle and marry. The
happy pair will go on a wedding tour
from here and will reside in New
York.
General "Tom" Stewart, of Penn
sylvania, is telling an amusing story
of a runaway vet'' he came across
in the big camp. The veteran is 50
years old and his son at home an
nounced decisively that under no cir
cumstances should his aged parent
go to Gettysburg. The desire to be
here and meet his former comrades
was so strong in the heart of the
old gentleman that he climbed out
of a window of his home and ran
away, turning up here in good shape.
He is now happy and well cared for.
Wearing a tattered uniform of
gray, Alexander Hunter, of Virginia,
was today the central part of inter-
est on the streets of the town. Mr..
Hunter is wearing the identical suit
and hat which he wore at Gettysburg
fifty years ago. The suit is in rags

A remarkable coincidence of the
camp was the meeting of two men

whom fought on the Union side

the other with the Confederates.
These two men are john Car

How they came to meet was by
