Soldier. Love for Hi. E,ou

Il think that the decision of the federal
government that no old battle flags shall
be brought to Gettysburg at the reunion
| next month is wise one" said confed-
crate veteran yesterday "The coming re-
union is planned to obliterate all feeling
between the north and the south. 1t
| would be extremely unfortunate should
any untoward incident mar the occasion,
and in my opinion the surest way to pro-
duce one would be to allow the battle
flags to be brought there.
There is nothing which soldier re-
CARDS with higher veneration than the
flag for which he fights. 1t symbolizes all
| that he loves. All the Confederate flags
have not been returned to their commands
by federal regiments by which they were
captured and If these werei brought t.
| the reunion it might easily lead to i'll feel
| ing.
II remember one incident of the fight
around Chattanooga that exemplifies.
| think, the veneration with which a soldier
regards his flag. An Alabama regiment
had been ordered to hold a slight emil
nence near Orchard Knob and was be-
ing outfianked. In addition there was a
heavy fire from forces in front with a
calling crossfire. Men were falling thick
and fast and our commander, seeing that
the situation was hopeless gave the order
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, as they did suddenly, he
was left alone on the top Of the eminence.
Just as he started to follow us a ball
passed through his body and he fell dead.
Instantly there was cry of Save the
flag! from our fellows and about dozen
rushed back, seized the colors and sue
ceeded in rejoining the regiment. 1t was
almost certain death to return in the face
of that fire, but Il dozen men had risked
their lives to save the flag from capture" /"
