PLEA FOR COOPERATION
ON "APPOMATT0X DAY.
Celebration to proclaim Liberty
and Peace to a World
at War"

That the proposed gathering to OBJ
serve the fiftieth anniversary of the
surrender at Appomattox and the
restoration of peace between the
states should not be considered a
commemoration of bitter defeat or
glorious triumph, but should be a
celebration of the living present and
a more glorious past" is the opinion of
Lieut. George c. Round of Manassas,
Va, president of the United States
Veteran Signal Corps Association
The Appomattox celebration has been
suggested by Lieut.. Round as IA fit
ting close for the jubilee which began
in Manassas In 1911 and eliminated
at Gettysburg in 1913.
Appeals for Cooperation.
His plans for the proposed celebra-
ton are set forth in letter which
has been addressed to the citizens of
Appomattox telling them of the plan
suggested and enlisting their support.
The letter is signed by Lieut.. Round as
member of Manassas Picket Post of
Union Veterans and by Westwood
Hutchison, commander of Ewen Camp,
Confederate Veterans; May Dogan,
president of Bull Run Chapter. United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and
G. Raymond Ratcliffe, president of the
Manassas Business League. 1t is, in
part, as follows:
I'VE submit to our fellow-citizens
of Appomattox that this greatest
jubilee of the worlds history, begin
ming on the first battlefield of the war
and eliminating on it's greatest battle
field, should be brought to an appro-
pirate close in your historic town. on
the fiftieth anniversary OF the day
when great-hearted Grant and the I'M
mortal Lee shook hands and acceded
TO the arbitrament of battle. Such
recognition would be perpetual
testimony to an eternal truce of God
hetween the states of the American
Union.
Living Present, Glorious Future"
"The jubilee on Henry hill in 1911
was not a celebration of the bitterest
defeat recorded in the chronicles of
war. Nor will jubilee in 1915 on
Glover hill be celebration Of any
ones triumph or any ones defeat.
Neither will it be considered, in ages
to come, as a celebration of any event
of the distant past. but celebration
! of the living present and more glori-
Gus future.
! Manassas calls to Appomattox. Let
us obey the command of Moses. the
wisest statesman in the tide of time.
In profound thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His mercies, let us together
proclaim liberty and peace, now and
| evermore, to a world at war
