MERELY PIECE OF FOOLING
Course Taken by Germany Resembles
Closely Neat Trick That Is
Credited to Sheridan.

"The Germans, by fooling us with
German bOlshevism, hoped to escape
the payment of war indemnities," said
a congressman.
''It reminds me Of a story about
Sheridan, the spendthrift playwright.
Counter, the confectioner, left his
statement with Sheridan one morning,
and few hours later Hanson, the
ironmonger, called.
"Hanson was very pressing on the
subject of his account. He harangued
and he harangued. Sheridan, broke,
as usual, paced the floor in despair
''But suddenly an idea struck the
Spendthrift and he said:
"'You know GunterY
"'One of the safest men in Lon
don,' Hanson replied.
"Then you will be satisfied if I
give you his bill for the amountY
"'Certainly.'
"Sheridan thereupon handed the
ironmonger Gunter's neatly folded ac-
count, snatched up his hat and rushed
forth"

LOOKED LIKE LABOR WASTED
Boards Visit Over, Small Boy Couldn't
See Further Necessity for So
Much Soap antd Water. ,

He was new little boy at the Or
phanage and was much impressed by
all the scrubbing and cleaning he saw
done there, more so because he had
come from home in which disorder
and dirt had held sway. He could
not understand it; more than that,
it irritated him, and when he got the
job of scrubbing the dining-room steps
he was almost ready to leave.
But just then came a new excite
ment to the home. The board was
coming to make it's annual tour Of in
spection, and the cleaning was dou-
bled. "Get ready for the board" was
the home watchword, it seemed, and
he, being very human, decided to stay
until that big event was over.
The day of visiting came and passed.
The next morning the new youngster
sought the matron. "Now that them

use of scrubbing them steps so often

Old Tools of War.

The Grand army veteran will live
forever in song and story, but the
weapon with which he fought his way
to Immortality is so much junk today.
Carbine, musket and rifle have given
way to machine guns, and the clash Of
sabers, man to man, has been replaced
by the purr of long-distance shells. OF
the firearms that fill countless racks
and cases in the museum at Washing

lock, stock and barrel, of every weapon
he carried in the Civil war, though
each has retired from active service to

On the third and last day came Lees
final attempt to win, mighty cannon
aiding of $50 guns at one o'clock in the
afternoon hurling death into the Union
forces on Cemetery ridge. Then, at
2 80 in the afternoon, an order from
Lee, a nod of the head from General
Longstreet, for he did not sanction the
charge, and away went General Pick
EFT in that most famous charge from
the Confederate position on Seminary
ridge to the Union center on Cemetery
ridge, nearly mile apart.
That charge made great history.
After leading his men to the Union
line and piercing it, Pickett was beaten
back. The point pierced was stone
wall, known to this day as the Bloody
Angle, or High Water Mark" of the
Confederacy.
Lee, from Seminary ridge, saw the
charge was a failure and the battle
lost. He ordered a retreat and the
Army of Northern Virginia departed
from the scene of it's three-day valor-
GUS struggle, but still with sufficient
fighting strength and spirit left to con-
tinue the conflict for nearly two years
longer.
That is the Battle of Gettysburg in
nutshell.

iron with nerves of steel. We are at
home when the news comes that they
are dead. We see the maiden in the
shadow Of her first sorrow. We see
the silvered head of the old man
bowed with the last grief.
These heroes are dead. They sleep
under the solemn pines, the sad hem
locks, the fearful willows and the en-
bracing vines. Earth may run red with
other wars-they are at peace. In the
midst of battle, in the roar of the con-
flict, they found the serenity of death.

eral Grant. Meanwhile the fighting
went on. Sheridan threw his troops
across Lees front. In a final surge of
heroism the worn and hungry Confed-
crates fixed bayonets and drove Sheri-
dams cavalry almost in rout. Even
the infantry was disorganized. For a
few brief minutes hope surged back
into Confederate breasts. Perhaps
after all they would break the blue
Gordon, escape to the South unite with
the army of Gen. Joseph e. Johnston,
and then in the hills of western Vir-
ginia reorganize force that would be
the bug!.ear of the Union again. But
it was only a dream.

General Thomas Great Soldier.

"Old Pap Thomas" as his soldiers
lovingly called him, has received full
credit for his services in the terrific
battle of Chickamauga. He has never
been given due recognition for his
other work, nor assigned a proper
place in the hall of fame of the nation
he helped to save.
He was a Virginian by birth, and
therefore his loyalty at the beginning
of the war was subject to unjust
though not unnatural suspicion. He
declined to supersede General Buell..
and thereby lost his chance to win
supreme command in the West. The
one event was a misfortune; the other
q chivalry too fine to be appreciated
in the hurry and stress of war.

ange blossoms, sometimes with roses,
brought up the rear, and the cortege
moved to the cemetery, where, with
prayers and barred heads, the veterans
and the people strewed the flowers
upon graves which were marked with
little flags.
Then came the day. 25 years ago,
when the Spanish empire was wiped
of the map. Not that we had anything
against the Spanish empire; but on
that day an irresistible and unforeseen
destiny moved our nation, and the
world with it, on a glorious path, in
velving far more than we knew. Then
we had new graves to decoratevnot so
many, perhaps, but graves about which
a glorious symbolism clustered.
But see what a new stride it has
now taken. Memorial day comes again,
and we see the marshal of France,

Marshal Foch, Premier Clemenceau
and the other French leaders who
participate in the decoration Of the
graves of our soldiers in France know
we'll that they are celebrating an event
much vaster than the mere honor
ing Of the heroic boys themselves who
had gone to the aid of their cause.
They know that they are celebrating
the birth of the old world revivified
and liberated by the coming of the
new world to their fair fields devas-
tated by war.

passes AS the hurrying hosts were ar
rayed by their generals for the coming
battle.
The Confederates under General Lee
had invaded Pennsylvania from the
south, and just one week before, June
22, 1863, Lee had sent 10000 men yet
farther north to capture Harrisburg.
They expected that the close of July
would find them in possession of Phil
adelphia. But just as their advance
cavalry were pointing their guns
across the Susquehanna Lee learned
that the Army of the Potomac, under
Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, had start
ed from Harper's Ferry in pursuit, and
Lee ordered his troops in motion back
toward Gettysburg, where twelve turn
pike roads concentrated.
General Meade, hurrying his corps
northward, came to the outskirts Of
Gettysburg the night of June 80 with
his advance cavalry.
At daybreak July General Buford,
leading Meade's cavalry, clashed with
General Heth of Hills Confederate
corps, and one of the greatest battles
of all time was on. All day the fight
ragged, as the troops composing the
| two armies were hurried forward from
distant points to take part. At night
fall the Confederates had driven the
Union men back from the ground held
by them in the morning, on through
the streets of GETTYSBURG. and finally
to a line of battle on Cemetery hill
and ridge southeast of the town, and
during the night the commanders of
both armies filed up gaps in their
lines and strengthened their positions
for the inevitable battle of the morn

New York, Sept 20.--As reasonably
would be expected in view of ramif
cations of the impending steel strike
todays brief market was heavily
charged with cross currents. Price
movements were crratiC to some OK
tent, indicating considerable mental
confusion on the part of the trading
contingent. Trading was largely con
fined to the professional element. the
so-called outsiders looking on rather
than participating in the operations.
Much of the uneven movement during
the two hours was the result of the
familiar week end evening up of the
professional and scmiprofpsSiOnal trad q.
ing contingent. This represented a
great deal of shifting of position and
wide fluctuations in the highly spccu-
lative issues. Outside Of this group the
