volunteer, not only responded to
President McKinley's call, but other
wise closed a wide sectional gap
that had existed and became welded
for the first time since the preceding
great civil strife when they marched
in regiments, brigades and army
corps as the united sons and kins of
many a soldier who wore the blue
and gray, because not only did they
become comrades. but served side by
side and under such fine leaders of
both former factions who had re-
turned to the service of a united
country, as we may recall-Generals
Nelson Miles and Wesley Merritt, be-
sides others of the Union Army, and
Generals Fitzhugh Lee and Joseph
Wheeler who had espOused the Lost
Cause.
In 1898 Old Glory was flung to the
breeze with fOrty-five stars or three
less than appeared during the ter
Tible world conflict. and it was dur

that such other cOlorful persOnages |

Bob Evans, Clark, Sigsbee and the
unflinching others.
Alas, all of the famed foregoing
have since sought rest within the

ECHOES OF ITS.
THE old Revolutionary War fighter,
the U. S S. Constellation, is in
the center of the fight again,
but the musketry is verbal and the
waves are only those of oratory.
Scarcely less famed than her sister
ship, the U. S. s. Constitution, the
Constellation has been berthed in
Newport, r. l., for many years as a
training ship and attraction to tour
lists.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland, wants her brought back to
her home port of Baltimore and has
introduced a bill to that effect. Sem
ator Metcalf, Republican, of Rhode
Island, objects.
After clashlng in the Senate, the
two continue the fight of evenings at
the Connecticut Avenue Apartment
where both live. The latest concilia-
tory proposal, made over coffee cups
by Tydings. is for Metcalf to loosen
up" enough for Baltimore to have the
ship during the Winter and Newport
in the Summer.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 6-The
Milwaukee Sentinel said tonight a
Milwaukee priest yesterday came into

that the plot against the Lind

That Bruno Hauptmann frequented

estate for many months prior to the
kidnapping.
THAT Hauptmann often rode alone
