JANE adams AT BUDAPEST

At the board meeting of the Hi
nois Equal Suffrage association the
other day a cablegram was sent to
Miss Jane Adams appointing her Of
fetal delegate from Illinois to the
Congress of the International Suffrage
Alliance now in session at Budapest.
Miss Adams was the principal
speaker there on June 16.
Delegates from every voting state
in the Union had been chosen to
speak before the congress, but as
Illinois is so newly born to the right
of the ballot, no provision for an Off
cial representative had been made.
One of the most interesting of the
800 delegates from twenty-six nations
at Budapest for the opening today of
the second session of the Interna-
tional Suffrage Congress is Ma Hla

intervention or at least foreign aid to
the Southern cause, would be forth
coming.
General Robert E. Lee late in the
spring Of 1868, made his preparations
to conduct his campaign Northward
into the state of Pennsylvania. He
had under his command three corps,
General James Longstreet command
ing the First, General Richard s.
Ewell commanding the Second, and
General A. P. Hill commanding the
Third. In the Union army which aft
erward confronted Lee at Gettysburg,
there were seven corps, but the num-
Der of men in each was much less
than that in Confederate corps, the
military composition of each being
different. The Union corps comman-
ders who under Meade were at Get
tysburg, were Generals John F. Rey-
nolds, W. S. Hancock, Daniel e.
Sickles, George Sykes, John Sedgwick,

the morning OF July /. He dispatched
courier to Meade saying that the
high ground above Gettysburg was
the proper place TO meet the enemy.
Not long after this message was sent
to Meade General Reynolds who dis
patched II. was killed. He was on
horseback near a patch of woods with
his force confronting a large detach-
ment of Confederate troops which was
coming toward them. These troops of
the enemy were dispersed by the
Union batteries and Reynolds was
watching the successful solid shot
and shrapnel onset when a bullet
struck him in the head killing him in
stantly.
General Abner Doubleday succeeded
Reynolds in command of the troops
at that point of the field. A brigade
of Confederates, a Mississippi organi-
cation, charged the Union forces,
broke their organization and succeed
ed in making prisoners of a large part
of a New York regiment. Later these
men were recaptured and the Missis-
sippi brigade was driven back, a por-
ton of it surrendering. In the fight
on the first day at this point of the
field or near it, one Union regiment,
the 151st Pennsylvania, lost in killed
and wounded 337 men out of a total
Of 446 in little more than a quarter
of an hours fight.
General Doubleday fell back to Sem
mary Ridge and extended his line.
The forces employed against him
here were greater than his own, and
after hard fighting Seminary Ridge
was given up. The first days battle
was in effect and in truth a victory
for the Southern arms. On the night
of July l General Hancock arrived
and succeeded in rallying the Union
forces and putting new heart into the
men. General Meade on that night
ordered the entire army to Gettys-
burg.
Victory Not Followed Up.
For some reason or other perhaps
unknown to this day, what was virtu-
ally Confederate victory on the first
of July was not followed up by Gen
eral Lee early on the next morning.
General Meade therefore succeeded in
strengthening his lines and in pre-
pairing for the greater conflict. One
end Of the Union line was some dis.

Creek, another end was at Round Top

their destination had a short hand-to-
diers. 1t was soon over and Pickett's
charge, glorious for all time in his
tory, was a failure in that which it
attempted to do, but was a success as
helping to show the heroism of Amer
lean soldiers.
The losses at Gettysburg on both
sides were enormous. The Union
army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth,
Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Ora
ham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Double
day, Barlow, Sickles, Butterfield and
Hancock were wounded. The total
casualties killed wounded, captured
or missing on the Union side num-
bered nearly $4,000 men. On the Con.
federate side Generals Semmes, Pen
der, Garnet, Armistead, and Banks
dale were killed, and Generals Kemp
er, Kimbal, Hood, Heth. Johnson and
Trimble were wounded. The entire
Confederate loss is estimated to have
been nearly 10000 men.
The third days fight at Gettysburg
was victory for northern arms, but
it was hard won fight and the con.
flict reflects luster today upon the
north and the south. Lee led his
army back southwark, later to con
front Grant in the campaigns which
finally ended at Appomattox.

was ordered to make it's way into the
Susquehanna Valley through the town
Of Gettysburg and then to turn in it's
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies, and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
1t was General Jubal A. Early of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after long hard march
on June &c. From there he went to
the town of York and from thence to
Wrightsville. At this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to camp near Gettysburg.
When Early aid obeyed Lees order
and had reached point near Gettys-
burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville,
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command Of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand.in a way to prevent the South
ern general from forming junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard of Hooker's approach and
brought the different parts of his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon a matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June
| %, 1863, General George Gordan
Meade was named as General Hook
er's successor in charge of the North
ern army. General Meade at once
went into the field and established
his headquarters at a point ten or
twelve miles south Of the town of
Gettysburg.
Armies Meet at Gettysburg.
1t seems that General Lee on hear
ing that Stuart had not succeeded in
checking the Union army's advance
had made up his mind to turn south
ward to meet the force Of Hooker, or
as it turned out the force of Meade.
Lee with his force had advanced
north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade
with his force was south of the town.
The fields near the Pennsylvania vii
lage had not been picked as place of
battle, but there it was that the two
great armies came together and for
three days struggled for the mas.

On the last day of June, the day
before the real battle of Gettysburg
began, General Reynolds, a corps
commander Of the Union army, went
forward to feel out the enemy. He
reached Gettysburg by nightfall. His
corps, the First, together with the
Third and the Eleventh Infantry
Corps with division of cavalry, com
posed the Union army's left wing.

THURSDAY, MARCH -, 1913.

The Mann act, known as the White
Slave law, is held by the United States
supreme court to be constitutional.
The decision clears the way for the
enforcement OF a useful law.
Greatly over-colored pictures OF the
wholesale abduction of innocent girls
for immoral purposes have been made
by authors of sensational novels and
cheap plays. But traffic in women
has always existed Modern transpor-
tation facilities and the existence of
considerable foreign colonies in all
civilized countries have greatly in
creased its scope. Colonies of Euro
pean and Asiatic girls, notably Rou-
manians and Japanese, are widely dis
tributed in faraway countries by an or
ganized industry that uses them as
stock trade. But for Federal legis-
lation that excludes them there would
be colonies of these unfortunates in all
considerable cities. The matter OF
hating at our seaports the exploiter
of European and Asiatic women was
attended TO sometime ago. The Mann
act denies the facilities of interstate
commerce to procurors and procures-
ses. The woman, no matter how old
in vice, who is induced to go from one
state to another for immoral purposes,
or aided in getting from one state to
another is "slave" within the mean
ing of the Mann act.
Suitably severe, and rigidly enforced
state laws to supplement the Federal
laws that forbid the Importation of
women for immoral purposes, and the
transportation of American women
from one state to another, would great
ly reduce the dimensions OF an evil that
is more circumscribed in the United
States than in many other countries.

New York World: MIR. Wilson will

fail to accomplish all that is expected

people give to Mr.. Wilson the support

that he will fail in the greater achieve
