VETERANS TELL STORY OF
VISIT TO GETTYSBURG

In company with the adjutant of
my regiment-the Fifteenth Alabama
visited the spot where the federal
bullet plowed through my face 80
years ago. Can you, for moment,
imagine the feelings of my inmost soul
as l stood there and realized that 80
years had passed since the ambulance
field, then CORY with the blood of my
comrades, now resplendent with nature
yes. Gods blessing?
THE scene, as it was presented to
me then was too soul-stirring for me
now to paint in a word picture. l met
men belonging to the Twentieth Maine
regiment. men who disputed with the
Fifteenth Alabama the questions of
the days that caused the civil strife.
They were so different from the time
we met 80 years ago. They were cour-
teous, sociable. kind, gentlemanly-in
word. they acted like soldiers. Al
Baltimore, Washington and other
points every attention and respect due
to men was shown TO us, and for all
these, comrades, | am but voicing the
sentiments of my companions on this
trip when | say to you all, singly and
collectively, we thank you for your
well wishes so freely offered on our
departure and the soldier-like recep
tion extended to us on our return
home"
Dr. J. p Ellsberry followed in a
splendid brief address. dwelling espe-
seially on the uniform treatment shown
at Gettysburg and insisting that PROV

with that gathering where men met SC
cordially so years after the conflict and
carnage reigned. Capt. James NJ. Simp-
son was introduced and explained Ia
the old veterans and visitors present
the Impression left on his mind after
participating in the Gettysburg re-

ness and good feeling was to be seen or
the part of the federal soldiers of 1s6i-5

War Department Officials
Placed in Embarrassing
Position

Washington, July 13.-War department
officials have been placed in an embar-
raising position by a request from agents
of the French government for assistance
of the departments ordnance bureau for
rerfecting the smokeles powder now used
by the French army and navy. A serics
of unexplained disastrous explosions in
the French magazines aboard ship and
ashore caused the request, which is lln-
usual in view of the consistent efforts
mace by most nations to protect the secret
of their powder preparations
The war department buys all its powder
under contract from an American con-
pany and this corporation has protested
vigorously AGAINST the disclosure of its
trade secrets to foreign government
