Relnerments at Gettysburg.

The work of reinterring the dead on
the field of Gettysburg began on the
twenty-seventh of October, 1868. and
was completed on the eighteenth Of
the following March, The number re-
buried was thirty-fve hundred and
seventy.five. This does not mean that
even half the dead were found, for the
whole field was dotted with graves,
In reinterring the bodies in the GENE.
terry every effort was made to discover
the identity of the men and this in
many cases was done and the relatives
of the dead soldier had his remains
taken home, the Identification being
made through articles found on his
body. An entry of each article found
was made. These things are kept and
numbered to correspond with the mum.
Der of the gravestone of him upon
whose body the articles were found,
The following is an example Of the

DAY OF HOPE AND PROMISE
Memorial Anniversary This Year a
Time Of Special Significance for
Many Reasons.

You could not have made an English
man believe in 1915 that hatred for Ma
poleon and for France could ever die
in the heart of loyal Briton. But It
did die.
Battle smoke clouds the vision, blots
out perspective. The roar of great
guns for the moment unhinges the
mind Seeing blood, we forget that
there has ever been aught but slaugh-
ter in the world. We do not believe
there will ever be anything but slaugh-
ter-slaughter and fierce, hot hatred.
And the fields. SCARED by trenches.
blackened by fire, with farmhouses In
ruin-will they not be forever black
and SCARED? Can the soft grass, the
billowing wheat ever grow again on
the fields sown in dragons teeth?
But there Is grass on Gettysburg,
and there will be grass and trees and
grain again along the Marine.
Therefore will not we fear, though
the earth be removed, and though the
mountains be carried into the midst of
the sea.
Though the waters thereof roar and
be troubled. though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof
'He maketh wars to cease unto the
end of the earth; he breaketh the bow.
and cutteth the spear in sunder; he
burneth the chariot in the fire."
Memorial day. 1916. A day of hope
and promise. Never was greater need
for such day, This is its message;
At the last. peace comes back to the
earth.

DEN MARK.

The activity of German buyers Is
given by the newspapers as the rea-
son for the sensational rise in steam
ship stocks. Stocks that rose from 30
to $50 per cent there on Thursday
were advanced another 20 per cent
on Friday. The days business in
steamship stocks amounted to $4,000
900, a majority of which was taken by
German buyers.
The Danish minister of the interior
announced that 20 Danish steamship
companies capitalized at s22,oOO,O0o
gave a surplus of $24,O00.000 for the
past year.
The department of Justice has de-
cided that substitutes for coffee with
which are mixed products of goods
placed under an export embargo, are
themselves subject TO such embargo.
The Danes are exporting heather to
Germany at fabulous prices. By far
the most interesting feature of this
traffic is the German marks pocketed
by the Danish farmers But some of
them are more inquisitive and ask
this question: What is the heather
used for? The following answer is
one of the most interesting. A SOL
der from South Upland, who is in
the trenches at Verdun, reported that
the heather is placed along the front
of the most exposed trenches. When
a cloud of poisonous gases comes roll
ing along the ground from the French
side the Germans set fire to the
heather and the flame and heat ris-
ing along the line heat the gases so
that they are rarified and raised into
the air for the time being.
The DANA Steamship company,
which has seven ships, was capital
ICED at $4,000. It's receipts for the
year 1915 were s432.000. or 533 per
cent OF the capital stock.

Who follow to the drum,
By time and tempest SCARED.

Together ranked In grief,
As comrades Joined. to grieve.

The Norwegian schooner Mars,
while bound for England with pit

changes in the last few days.
The Norwegian Bible society is
celebrating its centennial jubilee. The
society is preparing Norwegian pic

Bibles have had a good market in
Norway. but so far no Norwegian art
ist has entered this particular field.
BY foreign" in this connection is
meant that the books are published
abroad in the Norwegian language.
Harald Monsen of Hamar, who has
lived in South Africa for six years,
has written home that he has enlisted

does not serve as a common soldier,
but his position is that of musician.
