JUDITH'S FIRST BIG SCOOP

her nights adventure.
When she finished, the editor, paler than
she had ever seen him, handed her story to
Henson and tore the other one in two, drop
ping it into the waste basket. Henson dis
appeared toward the composing room. The
editor scrubbed a new set of headlines.
From where Judith stood she made out the
words acute Mania She sank down in
the old crippled chair The editor rang,
and boy appeared and disappeared with
the kinder headlines. Judith got up to go.
SIT down. The editors voice came thun-
- deringly.
Judith dropped back among the papers
as if she had been struck.
Il want to tell you,' he began, leaning
across the messy desk, that don't approve
of a young woman of your age and-and
appearance racing about alone at all hours
of the night, mixing up with possible shoot
ings and impossible characters, for the
sake of scooping another reporter, or for the
sake Of getting in good story, or even for
the sake of an old school teacher / do not
in the least approve of it, His words came
caustically. do you know what time it is,
1t is after two o'clock" He sprang to his
feet, then stood by his desk and added with
ringing sharpness, what in thunder is your
brother thinking about to let you run such
risks? You might have been shot!'
"Then then Henson would have got the
story" Judith retorted, something making
her choose f1ippant words when she never
felt less flippant in her life.
ITO hell with the storyl' he roared, lean
ing across the desk, his hands clenching its
edge. Sometimes | think you only look
feminine: beneath the surface you re nothing
but-an efficient machine He left the
desk and began to pace the floor. There is
no true femininity, no maternal instinct,
left in young women of today. Just to sue
coed! To succeed He paused, and his
eyes bored through the dim light. @My
God! what have you given up to succeed at
the mans game? Another birthright sold
for mess of pottage!"
THE rain had stopped. The stars were
shining. Judith set out to walk home.
She could not bear to ride. She wanted to be
alone with the wonderful thrill of happiness
that had entered in, expanding her whole
being. "Oh, God, she cried, as she reached
her doorstep looking back star-eyed into
the starry sky, a thank Thee for this
night! Oh, thank Thee!'
And she went humming softly to bed.

STORY OF FAMOUS
CIVIL WAR FIGHT
Battle Of Gettysburg Which
Brought Credit to Both
Blue and Gray.
TURNING POINT OF CONFLICT
Total Losses on Both Sides In Three
Days Fighting Over 5o,ooo-sev-
erai Generals Killed and
Wounded.
BY EDWARD B. CLARK.

~ YASHINGTON.-It is posi-
BILE. some people would say
WV probable, that the Battle OF
Gettysburg changed utterly
the course of American his
tory. 1t was a great fight between
armies of Americans. for probably
fully ninety per cent. of the men who
fought on the two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
fleets credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor of the North
and the South. The South lost the
fight, but 1t lost it honorably and
with the prestige of its soldiery un-
dimmed. The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every man felt might mean death at
the end. The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were o. the kind which it takes

Gettysburg Northerners and South
erners replenished their store of re-
spect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide of the war
between the states. After 1t the
South largely was on the defensive,
but its defense was maintained with
fortitude and in the face of privations
which could not chill the blood of
men fighting for what they thought
was the right.
The Northern armies were persis-
tent in their attacks through the cam
paigns which after few months were
started aginst the objective point,
Richmond. Brave men here and brave
men there, and after the end came it
was the qualities which keep COM
pany with bravery which made the
soldiers of the North and South SO
ready to forget and to forgive and to
work again for the good of a COM
mon country.
The great battle of Charlottesville
was fought not long before the oppos-
ing Union and Confederate forces met
on the field Of Gettysburg Chancel-
lorsville was a Confederate victory
The Southern government believed
that the victory should be followed up
by an invasion of the North for, ac-
cording to its reasoning, If an import
ant engagement could be won upon

Intervention or at least foreign aid to
the Southern cause, would be forth
coming.
General Robert e. Lee late in the
spring Of 1853, 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-
ber of men In each was much lesG
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-
Sickles, George Sykes. John Sedgwick.

In. the battle Of Gettysburg. 1t is
known that the armies were very
nearly equal in strength, the prota-
bilities being that the Confederate
force was few thousand men strong

which was balanced perhaps by the

the war between the states.

land from invasion, a condition which
military men say always adds a SUBJ
tie something to the fighting quality
which is In any man. Some authort-
ties have said that there were 100, 900
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg to be confronted by 10000
Union troops. Another authority SAYS
that the Confederate force was "a. 900
and the Union force 10000. AS it was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June. 1863, General Robert e.
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state Of Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and SO General Stuart with a
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit of the Con-
federates II 1t was attempted.
Late in June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown. in the state of
Maryland. 1t was General Lees in
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was great railroad center
and city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field. While the Southern com
mander was on his way with a large
part OF his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part of his command

the morning of July L. 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 1t, 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

General Doubleday fell back to Sem

after hard fighting Seminary Ridge
was given up. The first days battle
was in effect and in truth 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
tance east of Cemetery Hill on Rock
Creek, another end was at Round Top
something more than two miles be-
yond Cemetery Hill to the south. The
| Confederate line confronting it was
| somewhat longer.
1t is impossible in a brief sketch OF
this battle to give the names of the
brigade and the regimental comman-
ders and the names of the regiments
which were engaged on both sides in
| this great battle. Meade, Hancock,
Howard. Slocum and Sickles with
their men were confronting Lee,

great commanders of the South with
their men. The line of battle with the
spaces in between the different com.
mands was nearly ten miles. 1t was
the Confederate generals intention to
attack at the extreme right and left
and at the center simultaneously. II
was to be General Longstreet's duty
to turn the left flank of the Union
army and to break it." Longstreet's
intended movement was discovered in
time to have it met valiantly. The

Southern general did not succeed in
the plan which he had formed to get
by Big Round Top and to attack the
Third Corps from a position of van
tage in the rear. General Sickles de-
Tended Round Top and Longstreet
could not take it.

tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Lit
tie Round Top was saved from cap
ture by the timely arrival of a brigade
commanded by General Weed that
dragged the guns OF United States
regular battery up to the summit by
hand.
At the end of the second days fight
1t was found that the Southern army
had failed to break the left flank of
the opposing forces, that it had failed
to capture Round Top and that the
right flank of the Northern army, al
though vigorously attacked, had not
been broken. There was a tremen-
dous loss of life on both sides. and
while in general the day had gone
favorably to the Northern cause Get
tysburg was still drawn battle.
Charge Of Gen. Pickett.
1t was on July 8, the third and last
day of the great battle OF Gettysburg
that Pickett's men made their charge
The Elbert County tribune., 1913-07-04

was ordered to make its 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 q 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 ahd obeyed Lees order
and Asd reached point near Gettys-
burg ne 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 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 matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June
2s, 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 1t 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 a place of
battle. but there 1t was that the two
great armies came together and for
three days struggled for the mas
terry.
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.
The Fifth Army Corps was sent to
Hanover. southeast of Gettysburg,
and the Twelfth Corps was immedi-
ately south of Gettysburg at a dis
tance Of eight or nine miles This |
