war news from Europe in this section
is c. E. Harris, of Cook, veteran of

"Gettysburg still remains one of the

returning to his home at Cook from
a visit to Duluth.
II have not seen any printed ac-
count of loss of life in Europe that
approaches the record of Gettysburg" J"
he continued. "When you stop to con-
slider that the killed on the Union side
in that fight was $4,000 and that on
the Confederate side 10000, you will
realize that the war in Europe has
not yet equalled it in single battle
Cor bloodshed, despite the fact that
they are fighting today under and
over the sea, on the surface of the
earth, upon the earth and in the air"
II admire the soldiers of every ma
ton engaged in the great war in Eu-
rope, but my interest with the Cana
dian contingent is particularly keen.
They are fighting WELL"
Mr.. Harris was member of Bat
terry B, U. S. Artillery, engaged at
Gettysburg. He enlisted in Wiscon-
sin and was for a time attached to
the Iron Brigade. Two years ago he
visited Gettysburg with the old sill
diers. He is now living on a home
stead at Cook and despite his advanced
years is still hale and hearty. II have
just begun to live," he said last night.
