Gettysburg.-GettySb stepped so
years backward Sunday and looked
again upon an army of blue and an
army of gray meeting at her doorstep
From early morning until long after
shutdown the veterans in blue and gray
trooped into the little town which has
slept peacefully among it's hills since
Lee and Meade turned their legions

More than 80 special trains came
into the village and thousands of vet
Grams who tramped up from the Shen-

succumbed, one from Maine dying, be-
fore they found their tents. There
was no complaining, however.
Every possible arrangement for the
comfort of the united armies has been
mad The camp of brown army tents
is under the direction of officers of the
regular army. rhe streets of Gettys-
burg are under the scrutiny of the
Pennsylvania constabulary and for the
care Of the sick the Red Cross has
made extensive preparations.
The camp itself lies on ground that
has been baked as hard as brick and
dried into dust by winds that sweep
the hills, but it's sanitation, it's water
supply and its plan for the feeding of
thousands of men have been made
with the utmost care.

slope from the Emmettsburg road to

immortal charge of Pickett started on
the third day of The fight. They. cover

they will last only two hours each day

Some Thoughts Regarding Improving
the Short Game.
The average golfer who follows the
play Of some important test Of skill
between class players cannot help
being impressed with the deadly 7ac-
curacy Of the experts when once the
putting green has been closely ap-
preached. There is little or no lost
motion IN their operations OF getting
the ball dead to the hole and then
safely to the bottom Of the cup.

two from all distances UP to saw Ave
yards OF the green he would u
perhaps ten. and perhaps. fifteen
strokes off his record for the round.
This is just about the requirements Of
winning golf between experts. The
saved puts equalise triiiing irreru-
larittes on the way round.
To average player the display:of
such ability may seem an impossi-
bility, but 1t 10 not. II he will. but de-
vote as much practice to the short
game as he now does and has done in
the past to develop q straight. drive
down the course for 200 yards. A
short approach to the green or an
approach putt counts Just the same
in the total score for the round as q
full drive.

ting. Salvation must be sought ana
attained by faithful practice, backed
by a determination to get up or past
the hole every time.
When the player has made up his
mind that he must improve his snort
game IN order to accomplish. what
ambition induces him to seek, he must
not be dismayed II for round after
past the cup. In time, and as q mat
ter OF. fact. in q very short time. he will
