BATTLE FLAGS ELIMINATED
Old Confederate Says Decision Ia Q
Wise One.

0A4 loli<AHahs says DtNl*A4A
Wise ore.
Birmingham, Ala.-"I think that the
decision Of the federal government that
no old battle flags shall Be brought 10
Gettysburg at the reunion next month
IL wise one said confederate vet
erAn. The coming reunion Is planned
to 0bliterats all feeling between the
North and the South. It would be ex-
tremsly unfortunate should any unto
ward incident mar the occasion, and in
my opinion the surest way TO produce
enc would be TO allow the battle flsgs
to be brought there.
There is nothing which a soldier rs-
CARDS With higher veneration than the
flag for which he fights II symbsIirss
all that be loves. All the Confederate
flags have not been returned 70 their
commands by federal regiments BY which
they we're captured, and II these we're
brought to the reunion 10 might easily
lead to i'll feeling.
Il remember one incident Of the fight
around Chattanooga that exemplifies, I
think, the veneration with which a sol
der regards his flag. An Alabama regi-
rent had been offered to hold a slight
.minsnce near Orchard Knob and was b.
ing outflanked. In addition there was a
heavy fire from forces in front With n
CALLING crossfirs. Men were falling thick
and fast and our commander, seeing that
the situation was hopeless, gave the or
der to retreat. The color-bearer was in
the van encouraging the men and he
was loath to leave the position. When
the men fell back, a. they did suddenly,
be was left alone on the top of the emf
hence. Just a he started to follow rs
a bail passed through his body and IL
fell dead.
Instantly there vas a cry of Saws
the flag from our fellows, and about
q dozen rushed back, seized the eoIors
and succeeded in reioining the regiment.
1t was almost certain death TO return
in the face Of that fire. but 4 dozen
men had risked their lives to save the
flag from capture
