FIGHT
AT ANTIETAM
Gen. Miles Addresses 300
New York Veterans at
Dedication. -

Hagerstown, Md, Sept. Il. -
Nearly 500 New. York civil war vet
erans today returned to Antietam
battlefield, where they distinguished
themselves over half a century ago,
and participated in the ceremonies
attending the dedication of the 60
foot granite monument erected on
the battlefield by the State OF New
York in memory OF the New York
soldiers who fell there.
Most OF them bent with age, the
veterans recalled the scenes of
bloodshed through which they
passed as striplings on September
II. 1852. Today they looked upon
widening green plots, adorned with
statues and State monuments, and
fanked in the far distance by fields
of corn waving tasseled tops in the
September breeze.
On an elevation near the famous
old Dunkard Church. around which
the tide of battle surged, stands
the $4,000 monument New York
has placed to mark the spot where
her troops fought and as a perma-
nent memorial to her heroes. The
monument is the latest of the hun
dreds OF beautiful memorials adorn-
ing the battlefield.
The Grafton was delivered by Gen
Nelson A. Miles, retired. who was
the hero of the occasion by reason
of his rank and his military record.
Gen. Miles commanded one of the
New York regiments at Antietam.
He led the SiXty-fourth Regiment,
which helped Col. Francis Barlow's s
Sixty-first Regiment to make the
first inrOads upon the enemy at
Bloody Lane.
Three hundred prisoners were
taken by the two regiments under
Miles and Barlow, and Gen. Miles
took command of both regiments
after Col. Barlow was wounded. He
became colonel soon after the bat
tie. Gen. Miles revived the part Of
the New York troops in the battle,
paying tribute to the comrades who
died in the battle.
Battery F, Eleventh Artillery. and
two troops of cavalry from Fort
Myer. Va, ordered to Antietam by
Secretary of War Baker took part
in the dedication ceremonies.

OAR. PREPARE.
BUILDINGPLANS.
Work on New Edihce Ex-
pected to Be Started by
March |, 1921.

The proposed 100000 Office build
Ing of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution will be erected on
lots owned by the organization at
present occupied by the temporary
war buildings of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, according to Sarah
Elizabeth Guernsey, honorary presi-
dent general and chairman of the
Office building committee.
Final plans will be submitted at
the national board meeting next
month. 1t is hoped that work will
start on the new edifice imme-
diately following the removal of
the temporary buildings by the gov
ernment which is expected by
March l, 1921.
To Connect With Hall.
The structure, which will be two
stories high with a well-lighted
basement, will stand 100 feet back
Of Memorial Continental Hall, and
will be connected with the hall by
an underground passage extending
from basement to basement, as well
as by an artistic pergOla.
The exterior OF the building will
harmOnize in color and design with
surrounding buildings the main en-
trance facing south. overlooking the
beautiful grounds of the Pan Amer
lean Union Building.
The construction Of the building
was authorized at the twenty ninth
continental congress of the Ma
tional Society Of the D. a. r. last
April. and is the logical outcome of
the steady growth Of the organiza-
tion since its founding October II,
1890.
Primarily for Offices.
The new building will be arrang-
cd primarily for Offices and will be
equipped with a small auditorium,
IS well as hreproof vaults for the
storage Of records. All rooms will
Eadiate around the main file room.
States excluded, through lack of
space. from participation in furnish
ing rooms Of Continental Hall will
have an opportunity to secure space
in the Office building.
Two States have already request
ed the privilege of being responsible
for certain rooms, and the National
Officers Club has given $1,000 to-
ward the small auditorium. The eN-
pense of constructing the building
will be met from the regular in
come Of the organization, but the
assistance of States and individuals
will be welcomed, it is announced.
