singing, "We've come to stay" and
three-fourths of them stayed. Out of
less than 1900 men $50 were killed or
wounded.
Gen. A. P. Hill fought his men as
unsoldierlike as did Gen. Heath. Sell
dom on this continent was more des-
perate fighting done than was done
there, that afternoon. Doubleday was
making the move which would have
swept the Johnnies from the field, as
he did in the forenoon when Gen. Ell
wells command came on the field, strik-
ing our men in the rear and causing
the Eleventh Corps to retreat. Gen.
Doubleday's immediate command re-
treated in good order to the works
thrown up by Steinwher's division on
Cemetery Ridge. Gen. Heath in his
report says: "Our dead lay in lines
or rows as perfect as our dress parade,
and there were seven of those rows"
Lee Makes Mistake
When Napoleon had the enemy on
the run he pursued them vigorously.
By all military rules Hill and Elwell
should have charged right after the
federals while Gordon pressed his adj
vantage, and thus in less than thirty
minutes possessed themselves of Gem
etery Ridge, and captured Doubleday's
men. This is no dream; no after
thought, for to use the language of
Alex Hunter (the fairest Confederate
writer that l have read, and friend of
Gen. Lee) Lee who was on the ground
had 10000 muskets, and 80 guns in
line, 10000 veterans vibrant, pulsat-
ing, mad to advance. Soldiers whose
hearts were thrilled with victory-ani-
MATED with an impulse that makes an
army invincible. Lee acknowledges
that he knew that Mead's army had
not all come up. The fortune of war
placed in Lees hands not merely to
take the heights, but to crush Mead's
army in detail. The fates had spun
their web, and on that eventful eve
ming, the Goddess Opportunity offered
Lee the southern Confederacy on a
golden platter. But Lee was out of
balance; he could not rise level with
the occasion"

menced, but did not hear the firing,
therefore did not arrive until the bat
tie was over. So seldom do plans for
simultaneous attack succeed that
their failure to succeed, ought to be
the rule. Understanding this and more
too, Lee planned for simultaneous at
tack the morning of the second day,
and failed. His every act showed in
competency at Gettysburg, and to
crown all he ordered Pickett and Petit
grew to charge where there was no
reason to hope for success.
Lees plan was to have Stewart
strike our center from the rear when
Pickett charged the front. Lee knew
the formation of our army. When he
knew what corps was on our right, he
knew what corps comes next, and so
on to the Round Tops. Lee also knew
that our army was all up, therefore
there were about fifteen thousand men
not in line. AS our lines were then
formed he knew that the proper place
for those men was in the rear opposite
our center just where they were. Lee
also knew that we had large cavalry
force somewhere on the field, and that
it's proper place was just where it was,
on the TANKS, to prevent just such men
as ]. Stewart from finding our wagon
trains, and charging our rear. Lee
knew that if Stewart succeeded in get
ing opposite of our center he must
overcome all opposition, and how long
it would take to do it, was a problem
he could not solve. Lee knew that the
union army was as tempered steel, and
behind works was invincible. There
was not one military rule that would
justify the charge.

O'CONN0R FOR REFORM.

LONDON. September 4, 1913.
T. p. O'Connor. N. p. writing on the
question Of reform OF the house Of lords.
says:
ut is evident that we cannot leave
things as they are. and that we are COM
pelled to deal I'm some form or other
with the house of lords and its relations
to the house Of commons.
Apart altogether from this genera
consideration, the repeated pledges OF Mr..
Asquith render IL inevitable TO make at
least an attempt to reform that second
chamber. This pledge. indeed, became
inevitable from the day when the un-
happy preamble was affixed to the pariia-
ment act--one of those incredibly stupid
performances that are only possible when
a large number OF very clever men get
together and try to agree on common
program and a compromise formula. But
all the same, It would be absurd to deny
that a proposal to carry a new second
chamber Is not without difficulties.
Constitution mongering Is always a
dangerous undertaking, especially IN
England, and especially when liberal
government is In power. Toryfsm, being

It has been well said that the regular

Could a governor under a call to furnish

Could tho organised militia be compelled

that the obligation to serve would thus

Aim Of the Dick Bill.
This was the status OF these troops
until 1893. when, - a result OF the con-
dition which developed during the war
with Spain. and in An endeavor 20 get q
dependable military force other than the
regular army. Congress enacted q law,
commonly known a. the Dick biIl which
divided the militia into two classes. the
organized militia. consisting OF the various
bodies OF state troops. and tho morgan
lied militia, consisting, with certain ex-
ceptions. OF ell other male citizens be-
tween the ages OF eighteen and forty
five years.
In making this distinction Con-
gress created two distinct classes
OF militia s0!diery; one the Mill
tia OF the Constitution the man
hood OF the nation; the other the organ
lied forces, raised BY the state. subject
with certain requirements Of federal law
might be classed as organized militia and
participate IN certain federal appropria-
tons. This status having been acquired,
this portion Of the militia then became by
law subject to service prior 70 any other
class OF troops with the exception OF the
regular army. In other words, Congress
has created by law two classes OF militia,
each with different obligation. instead OF
the one class, each member equally obi
gated, contemplated by the Constitution.
There is no question as to the right OF
Congress to raise and support any kind
Of federal force il may desire. There is,
hewever. q very serious question an to
whether II can under tho Constitution Pre-.
ecstbe different uoasDas Of militia. with
