He compared the struggle of the
Civil War with the present great
World Struggle and showed by. sta
tistics that in proportion to the mum.
ber of men involved no engagements
in the present war have been blood
ier or exceeded such battles as "An.
tietam and Gettysburg in loss of life
Mr.. Campbell emphasized one great
fact: That had it not been for the
splendid heroism of the men of the
sixties here in America, there would
be no American Army fighting fol
the cause Of human Freedom and De
mocracy in Europe today.
One verse Of The Star Spangle.
Banner was sung and the audienc'
dispersed.
