Copyright, ias.,

Fifty years ago today the armies OF
Gen. W. 7. Sherman and Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston. which had been fighting
for ten days in Georgia wilderness,
were moving east to regain the rail-
road on which they both depended for
supplies and from which they had
broken away two weeks before.
The success or failure Of the campaign
which the two generals were directing.
and which had for its goal one Of the
chief cities of the State. Atlanta, de-
pended upon the tenacity with which
each clung to his line of supply. The
Western and Atlantic was the only
north-and- d-south railroad in Western
Georgia. Consequently. when Gen.
Sherman advanced in early May against
the Confederates guarding the approaches
to Atlanta, he was forced to depend upon
that road to furnish his Amy with food
and ammunition.
So. too. Gen. Johnston depended upon
IL to bring up his supplies from his de-
pots at Atlanta and Macon. As he was
pushed back by Gen. sherman's superior
numbers he persistently clung to the
railroad. He placed his army across 1t
and fought for IL at every opportunity.
Yet. late In May, when the Confeder-
ates had been forced south beyond the
Etowah River to the line of Allatoona
Mountain, scarcely thirty-three miles
from Atlanta. the fianking tactics of the
Federal leader forced both armies tenn
porarily to abandon the railroad and
march into a dense wilderness that lay
west of it. Both were made dependent
upon wagon trains for their subsistence
The movement in progress fifty years
ago today was caused by the necessity Of
both armies to regain the railroad. where
they might be more easily supplied. fol-
lowing an attempt by Gen. Sherman to
outfiank Gen. Johnston.
Johnston blocks sherman.
Gen. Sherman had begun a flank march
around ohnston's army on May .. He
a temporary depot at King
ston. north of the Etowah River. and
then plunged OFF to the southwest, away
from the railroad. in order to make
wide circuit around the Confederates.
But this movement had scarcely begun
when Gen. Johnston learned Of it, and
set his own army in motion |

ioned his advance positions on the rail- |
-oad. and took to the network of narrow |
roads that traversed the forests |
where the Federals were marching. |
