Washington, Sept. 29.--Washing-
ton today looked through the eyes Of
fifty years ago.
Its populace and visitors Joined
with the nations executive in re-
viewing the battered blue battalions
of the Grand Army of the Republic
all that is left of the stalwart legions
100000 strong, who marched with
youths firm step before the White
House in review with Sherman,
Meade, Sheridan and Hancock at the
close of the war that called the army
into being.
To the Annual Review.
Celebrated in the most beautiful
capital, among the people of the
strongest, most prosperous republic in
the world, the 5Oth annual grand re-
view Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public epitomized and symbolized the
spirit of the nation-unity, and
mighty influence on all humanity
through unborn ages.
There in the vanguard of this body,
unique and filled with the essence of
tragedy and romance, marched the
remnants of Logan's men-the troops
from Illinois. John A. Logan is dead
but can it be saw his shadow strid-
ing on beside them? '~.sS
Few Leaders Left. /
Few of the handful of old leaders
who are left from the days of 81 and
'65 passed here today. Wilson of
Delaware, Dodge of Iowa, Brooks Of
PENNSYLVANIA, and Pennypacker and
Sheridan; Osterhaus Of Illinois, AM

and Louis Grant who fought with An

Outgrowth of Necessity.

The Grand Army of the Republic
was the outgrowth of circumstance
and necessity. Political problems Of
generations standing developed into
hostilities. The prayer of the people
of. all sections was that the cup Of
bitterness might pass, but it was not
to be; and the flower of manhood in
all sections resorted to arms. Such
an army-the remnant of which we
see here today-never was and prob

Wilson Leads Boys.

~ Y
Far down the line were the boys
from Delaware; and still among them
was their gallant general, James H.
Wilson, leader Of one Of the largest
commands during the Civil war and
who rendered Important service again
in the war with Spain.
Then there were the Pennsylvania
boys, once led by the youthful gen
eral, George A. Pennypacker, who,
still alive, carries in his person two
confederate bullets.
In this parade of the Grand Army
of the Republic, decaying through
time though it is, there lie the lines
Of a wonderful story, a story which
few of us in this day of rush and
hustle have time to pause and con-
template. So f

Theater of War Large.

The theater of war extended from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Through much fighting there were
many drawn battles though few de-
cisive engagements. Altogether it
was a four years war of exhaustion
in personnel and material that COM
tinued until the South was on the
verge of bankruptcy. At the close of
the war of Americans against Amer
leans there was universal rejoicing
in every part of the country, though
gloom and sorrow overshadowed
many hearts and homes. -.-sf
Become Prominent Men, I.
The terrible, fierce animosity and
strong prejudice that had actuated
the hearts and nerved the arms of ali
during the struggle, were buried in
the last entertainments. The black
mouthed cannon were forever si-
fenced. The war drums throbbed no
longer and the battle flags were furl-
ed; and as the smoke of conflict roll
ed away, the heroes of both armies
clasped hands and pledged eternal
fidelity and allegiance to their re-
united country. =
These young men, who between 6 I
and '65 tramped many battlefelds,
have been engaged for years in bust
ness activities or professions; or they
have become governors, statesme len,
pioneers and home builders in the
mighty west. -.S /
Started Humbly.
This organization, whose 5Oth am
nual review was seen on Pennsylvania
avenue today, was started humbly
enough. It has grown and lowered
in generation and glory, and though
it will in it's proper season die SUBJ
lime, nothing can avail to erase the
spirit and influence from the ripping
shadows of the Stars and Stripes.
Consider the lesson of this demon
stration. +,@~'. r.. ....-. r., 1s*f 70
On the other side of the Atlantic
millions of men are engaged in a
desperate struggle to destroy each
other, devastate vast zones of terri
tory and bankrupt nations. A coli
losal tragedy over which the people
have no control.
Here, a hundred million people are
enjoying greater prosperity and free
dom than any people who ever have
lived on the face Of the globe. Theirs
is the sublime right and privilege
of sovereign citizenship. $

FRANCE MUST WIN. But She's Not Fighting Wnr of Con. quest, Says Briand.

Paris, Nov. 3.-An announcement of tremendous importance was made in the chamber of deputies today by Premier Briand, who said that France was not continuing the war with ideas of conquest.
 "I refuse to believe" he said, "that my country will allow petty or ego tistical aims to influence her at the moment of the discussion of reace. When that moment arrives. there can be no room for tyrannical thoughts" /"
 MT. Briand also said that the day for serious peace talk, was "unfortu- natelv far distant"
 The new premier's second speech, following the ministerial declaration, was one of the most remarkable pieces of oratory ever heard in the chamber. Tears stood in the eyes or every deputy, when he appealed to them to continue the holy political union. "for the sake of the nation, for its gallant soldiers, and for the women. who, from behind their wells fellow the war with serene confi- dence."

Submits Counter Proposi- tion to Committee of
 Quorum Court.
LET ALL WORK BE,
 PERFORMED GRATIS
Commission Willing to Enter Arrange. ment Whereby Clerical and Legal Work and Tax Collecting Be Per-
 formed Without Charge.

After a conference between mem bers Of the Jefferson Coun,y Bridge commission and a committee from the Jefferson quorum court yesterday morning, in the office of Secretary E. B. Bloom of th9. commission, the fol- lowing resolution was adpted:
 Whereas, committee appointe3 by the levying court of Jefferscn county has called upon this commls- sicn to ascertain if the commission is willing to allow the clerical wcrk of the district and the collecting ot bridge taxes, and legal work of the district to be done by the county clerk he collector of Jefferson county and the prosecuting attorney of the Eleventh judicial circuit, provided such officers will undertake to do such work without cost to the district.
 "Wherefore, be it resolved that this commission hereby express its will ingness to enter into such an ar rangement if the said officers are willing to perform the duties of the respective offices of secretary, collec- tor and attorney for the bridge dis trict free of cost to the district, and the committee of the levying court is hereby requested to report to tho commission at its regular monthly meeting on November 10 whether such officers will undertake to per form the aforesaid duties.
 "Upon being put before the board the above resolution was unanimous ly adopted and so declared by the president.
 "F. R. BLOOM, Assistant Secretary
 Members of the quorum court com mittee present at the conference were County Judge c. M. Philpot, J. E. 'Boyce, J. w. Ferguson and w. M. Bridges. All members of the bridge committee were present, as follows: w. D. Hearn, George P. Darby. E. B. Bloom, R. N. Burks, F. 3B. Tomlin- son, Drew White and P. P. Byrd. At torneys w. F. Coleman and M. Dana her were also in attendance. a.
 lPokerly speaking, as Sam Blythe might say, the commission appears to hape passed the buck" back to. the quorum court and the county offi- ,cials. The quorum court Suggested that clerical and legal work of the district, as well as the finances and supervision, be transferred to the county, the avowed purpose being to effect economies through having the county clerk, county treasurer, prose cutting attorney and county judge as- sume these additional duties without additional compensation. The bridge commission says, in effect:
 "All right, gentlemen, we'll comply with your request. except as to the finances. The treasurer of the dis trict is not paid anything. so no say ing is to be effected by having the funds handled by the county treas urer. But we think that the collector should also serve the district gratis, and SO we have inserted in our ress.- lution the clause, 'this commission hereby express it's willingness to enter into such an arrangement fl the said officers are willing to per- form the duties of the. respective of
