was enough to create apprehen-
sion.
Perhaps, failing to find any
phvsical cause for the low death
rate, we can fall back on some
thing else, and conjecture that
the stimulus of the occasion up
held the veterans like tonic.
It was to them a period of ex-
altation and this to men far ad-
vanced in years who search for
such things in the perspective
of their own lives. They must
have felt, consciously or uncon-
sciously, that to have fought
fifty years ago and to have held
a reunion in 1918 on the field of
Gettysburg was something that
marked them apart. from other
men. Who can be surprised If
their vital forces rallied to the
strain and saved the nation from
a shock that it was dreading to
receive at any moment?---Balto.
