live and act5that when the hordes OF
Europe attack us we will with one
country, one, flag and one language,
be prepared for the conflict and sue.

as the European nations were.

Accepted by Mrs. Board.
In accepting the emblem, Mrs.
Board spoke briefly but expressed
the sincere thanks Of every member
OF the organization in the honor paid
by the G. A. R. and the Women's Re
lief Corps. She remarked that she
was very glad that the two organiza-
tons had selected this time to present
the flag. She said that mature years
have brought greater realization OF
the immense sacrifice Of the men and
women of this country at the time OF
the war. This flag, she said, would
prove an added reminder of this sac
|rifice and would be an incentive to
the women and girls Of the Y. w. c.
A. to lead better and more useful
life.
Miss Martha Baldwin then led in the

companist. The flag salute was given
by the members of the Women's Re-
lief Corps at the conclusion Of the
song.
Review Of Surrender.
A historical review Of the surrender
Of the confederates at Appomattox was
given in an address by w. G. Blood.
MIR. Blood prefaced his address with
the remark that General Lee had been
brought here in the year 1886 by the
father of Major M. Meigs.
Mr.. Blood's version of the surrender
was drawn from many sources AL
though the surrender Of Lee was not
the actual crisis of the war, it is in it,
as the final and closing scene of i'm
portance that we are probably most
interested. he said. He then describ-
ed in detail the actions of the two
generals up to and during the time
the terms of peace we're drawn.
In his conclusion, Mr.. Blood said
that while this war is thought by some
to be insignificant in comparison with
the present European war, that it was
one of the greatest wars in history, in
view of it's effects. He quoted some
statistics regarding the present war,
saying that it had cost $2,000,000 an
hour for the first six months and that
six million men had been killed in
the first eight months of fighting.
Mr.. Blood said he believed our civil
war was the greatest In history at its
time, and expressed the hope that 1t
would be the last war the United
States would ever be engaged in.
Miss Baldwin and the sextette then
sang Dixie, after which Mr.. Layton
gave his personal experiences at the
time of the surrender. Mr.. Layton's
address follows:
81 was a member Of the Sixth Army
corps, army Of the Potomac. The
Union army had been investing the
confederate defences around Rich
mond and Petersburg since July 1861,
and toward April, 1865, final effort
was to be made to overcome Lees
army; and, in accordance with plans
and assignments made, on the morn
ing OF April 2, 1865, shortly after mid
night, our infantry was formed out
