that the encouraging heartening of the day
came. On May 20, the day before the date now
set for Memorial day, certain New York newspa-
pers printed dispatches stating that vicksburg had
fallen;, that Pemberton had escaped from the city
with the loss of his artillery. This report, how
ever, promptly denied.
On the same day authentic accounts and pic

Vicksburg, were received. About five O'Clock in

Left Capital Vulnerable.

One hundred years ago the residents
of Washington were seriously dis
turbed by rumors that the British
were planning an expedition for the
capture of their city. Grave as was
the danger, the authorities were slow
to move. After considerable delay a
fleet of gunboats and barges were as
sembled and placed under the COM
mand of the veteran Commodore Bar
ney. who had served with distinction
in the Revolution. But the land de-
fenses were almost totally neglected.
Though the government called for 49,
600 troops, the actual defense force
about the national capital consisted of
but few hundred militia. In conse-
quence. when the British finally
marched on the city in midsummer
they encountered little opposition.

A day or two after May 80, 1863, re-
ports were received in the North OF
desperate hand to hand fighting out
side of Vicksburg and general assaults
on the works. Several Notifications
fell, but were retaken by the Con-
federates.
In the end of May the marine divi-
sions under Porter did some excellent
work at Haynes Bluffs under Grants
direction. News of this was printed
shortly after the date which is now
set apart for Memorial day.
There had been much criticism of
the administration in the North and
the Union arms had come in for their
share of popular opprobrium and the
news of Grants successes in the
West was sorely needed.

other campaigns and it heartened

Painters Celebrate Waterloo.

There is some fear in France Of
I the waning of the fervor for mill
tarism without which it is feared the
republic can never endure.
Paris military painters have formed
society, and will hold an exhibit
tion this year, but the year 1915 will
be celebrated in a manner which at
first sight seems to be surprising.
AS 1915 will be the centennial Of
the battle of Waterloo, the twenty
members forming the society intend
to divide the battle into twenty cpl
sodes They will draw lots for the
episode, and will then depict them
on canvas. All OF the canvases will
be of the same dimensions.
It has not yet been. decided if the
works will be exhibited in Paris. 1t
is most probable that they will be,
but the intention is to give a fresh
impetus to military painting and help
to exalt the military ideal.

today beneath the blue of the sky

their sacrifice! Some gave literally
all they had-even their names. They
lie in unmarked trenches, their very

names are lost, and they have gained
a name the which neither man nor
