M. Haufbausr, when war was
declared between France and Ger.
many, had been in Richmond for
q year or more at work on his
paintings for the Battle Abbey.
He returned to France when that
country called her citizens to arms
and took his place in the trenches.
The fact that he has besn with
drawn from the firing line makes
his return to Richmond TO com.
plete his commission more sure.
Those who have seen his work for
the Battle Abbey have generous
praise for it, and it is expected
that his actual experiences in bat.
tie will lend great reality to his
Confederate paintings.
Ths Confederate Battle Abbey
stands complete save for the war
paintings that are to be one of its
chief features. One of the chief
events of the 1916 reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans.
which is to be held in Richmond,
June 1 2 and 8. will be the formal
opening of the Abbey. 1t is re-
gsrdsd as appropriate that this
institution should be completed
exactly afty pears after the close
of the War Between the States.
Every detail of the great
twenty.fifth annual reuuion of the
Confederate veterans has been
worked out. Even now informa.

For three months a large body of

Railroad Built by Confederate Soldiers

! Among the lines now being dou.
BILE tracked by Southern Railway.
one stretch, SO miles in length.
between Greensboro and Pelham,
was originally constructed under
the direction of the Confederate
government and has remained as
perhaps the most permanent
monument of any work done by
the Confederacy. Veterans from
states South of Virginia, who go
to the reunion at Richm ond over
the. Southern will have an oppor-
tunlty to travel over this line and
to see the work of double tracking
now in progress.
The entire line from Greensboro
to Danville, Va. was construoted
by the Richmond and Danville
for the Confederate government
as war measure. Some years
ago this line was double tracked
from Danville to Pelham, N. O.,
8 miles. Despite the many i'm.
provements that have teen made,
the location Of this line. as de-
termined by the wartime engin.
GERS, has never been changed and
80 we'll did they do their work
that when the double tracking
was undertaken very few changes
we're found necessary and, in the
main, the work has been simply
the construction of parallel
track.
The Confederate authorities
saw the strategic value of a line
connecting the R. & D. with the
the North Carolina Railroad and
were able to bring to bear suf.
ficient pressure to overcome the
obstacles which had previously
stood in the way of its construc-
tion owing to the rivalryiof North
Carolina and Virginia, each state
seeking to protect Its own railway
interests. The necessary rail was
procured by tearing up other
roads and when at the close of
war the line was confiscated by
the United States as one of the
assets of the Confederacy, there
was prolonged litigation before
the Richmond and Danville
secured undisputed title.
The origin Of this line is re.
m m bered in many local tradl.
tlons and names, among them
Tennessee Cnrve,' said to have
been so called because the grading
at this point was done by men of
Tennessee regiment.
There ia more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together. and

posed to be incurable. For a
