1.-THE men who filed the ranks of the northern
armies were prompted by conception of duty
no greater than those who fought under the Stars
and Bars. Glorious victories or crushing defeats
dim not the bravery and sacrifice of either. When
we view those four years of titanic struggle in the
light of the present day, either through northern
or southern eyes, there is much glory
fected from both that each merits the greatest
praise and has won impersabe renown. 1t has
been the record of these gallant heroes that has
inspired and led our sons to victory in every war
IN winch this country has since engaged.
AT San Juan Hill the boys from the South,
under Wheeler, charged with those from the North
under Roosevelt. On the cactus plains of Mexico
the lads in khaki from Virginia marched by the
side of those from Vermont At Beeau Wood
Chateau-Thierry, and Argonne, when civilization
tretnbed in the scales the brave boys from every
part of this land, under the folds of the Stars and
Stripes and to the tunes of "Dixie" and yankee
Doodle Dandy" followed Pershing for humanity
and their country And today, it matters not in
which war they were engaged, the names of north
ern and southern heroes illumine the papss of
history and are enshrined in the hearts of com
mon country.

No local hates discover
Strike hands once more
From shore to Shore
The North and South forever

unmarked graves, buried the arm of that gal

wearing the uniform of the American fighting man
sworn to defend the Flag of common country and
ready to give their lives for its protection went
mnediately TO work, cleared the graves resllrrect-
ed the fence, and clothed the surroundings with an
ar OF attention and care. 1t the American
