Feeling Has Lone Been Strong That
Scene Of Early Clash Of Arms
Should BE Preserved-close

Bull Run is to be made a battlefield
park as a memorial to the soldiers
who fought on that field The Lee
highway, being developed as one Of
the great east and west automobile
roads, passes through the fields, that
highway taking unto itself as one Of
Its sections the old Warrenton Civil

i Efforts have been made for 20 years
to have the government take over the
fighting ground of Bull Run and care
for it after the manner Of the fields
of Gettysburg and Antietam, or to
buy the ground on which stand two
simple little monuments that were
set up on particularly tragic parts
Of the battlefelds by Union troops in
1865. The proposal that the Bull Run
battlefields should be held by the ma
tion as a, battlefield park has been
urged by organizations Of Union and
Confederate veterans and by many
other patriotic associations, but there
has always been sufficient indifference
or hostility on the part Of congress
TO thwart the plan.
First Battle Of Manassas.
It is about 25 miles from Washington
by wagon road to the eastern edge
of the bloody zone Of the battlefield
Of the first Bull Run, or the first
battle Of Manassas, That is about
the distance to the picturesque old
red stone bridge which spans the his
toric creek. It is this old Bull Run

which developed into the battle. The
pike after crossing the bridge, passes
west, with the land rising gradually
to a ridge on each side of it. This is
the land that was wet with the blood
Of men and sprinkled with corpses.
Two or three old houses can be seen
on these rising slopes, A mile of
travel westward from the bridge brings
you to a crossroads. It is the juno
tion of the Warrenton pike and dirt
road which leads from the Potomac
river and the town Of Dumfries to
iLeesburg and the mountains Of the
west. In the northeast angle Of ehe
roads, and close beside them, is an
iold stone house. In the annals of the
Civil war that old house is denominat-
ed 'the stone house" The othe-'

A year ago business men were very

"On the other hand. as all industries
were not hit at the same time, they
will tend to come back at different
times. The industry that was first hit
will be the first to come back. This
was the silk industry and change for
the better is already in evidence. The
industry which was almost suppressed
during the war will show the greatest
recovery during the next few years; in

in mind the building industry. There
is marked increase in the demand
for all building materials, notably lum-
Der, altho iron and steel are sharing
in the building boom. The sales for
hardware and paints have increased.
If labor does not become too hungry
for increased wages, this squirt in the
building may develop into real boom.
Another industry which should
quickly show better employment is the
automobile industry especially the max
ers of the more expensive cars. These
makers were the first to be hit and
these should be the first to come back.
Following booms in the stock market
the makers of expensive cars and other
semi-luxuries always experience good

done. Groveuon was Jackson's right
and the Confederate center when Long
street Joined him.
Before the war a railroad, called the
independent railroad, was projected
to run from the Manassas Gap rail-
road at GAINESVILLE to Leesburg. The
road was graded, hills were cut
through and fills made over low ground
and stone culverts built over the runs
and larger creeks No ties or rails
had been laid, and when the war came
along all work stopped. It was along
this graded way that Jackson formed
his line for the second fight. The line
of the unfinished railroad is preserved
today, though the "cuts" are grown up
in woods and the fills" are generally
overgrown with pines and cedars. A
particular cut where troops, their am
munition expended, fought with
bayonets, dubbed musllets, and even
stones, is about a thousand yards
north Of the Dogan house.
Dead Thick on the Field.
Mrs. Dogan came home after fight
ing ceased and the armies moved on to
fight at Chantillyy Dead men lay SO
thick over that field that you couldn't
walk without stepping on them. They
had not been buried Men had gone
about shoveling dirt over them where
they lay, and the night before came
back with my children to where the
house stood it rained and the dirt that
had been thrown over these men had
been washed off"
A reporter who inspected the field
at the close of the war wrote the fol-
lowing description of it.:
From Alexandria to the battlefield
is one wide area Of desolation. Fences
are utterly swept away. Here and
there a dilapidated house shelters a
few squalid inmates.
"Once a village Of rare beauty,
perched upon a gentle slope of high
ridge and commanding a view of fer
tile valleys for many miles war-swept,
1t and its ruins lie about, invested with
all the saddening influences of perfect
desolation.
"The first Bull Run field is distinct
ly marked with traces of battle. Here
the shot and shell are thickly strewn,
the trees splintered and in many places
the forest looks as If having been
visited by a terrific storm.

the fat field around it was the scene
Of the principal collision between the
Union ard Confederate forces in the
first battle Of Bull Run, and it was
also fighting ground in the second bat
tie, something more than a year later,

was on that field that the Union lines
wayered, broke and began the retreat

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
chat they have the disease.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

That early spring of 1915 the two
boys and their friends and brethren
talked more of the war than they had
in the autumn, though the subject was
not at all an absorbing one; for the
trenches Of Flanders and France were
still of the immense, remote distance.
By no stretch of Imagination could
these wet trenches be thought greatly
to concern the frat" the Lumen, or
the university. Really important mat
tiers were the doings of the ''Track

and on the Varsity field, and, more
vital still, the prospects of the Nine.
But in May there came shock which
changed things for time.
