    GREATEST BATTLE
; IS FOUGHT AGAIN
Veterans of ttia Blue and the
j Gray Met at Gettysburg.
40,000 SOLDIERS IN CAMP.
Vaaident Wileon Orator tn July 4.
General Siokle Only Division Com
mandor Present, Doath Having Mus
tered Out All Others on Both Side.
Gettysburg, Pa Aitnln, sfter fifty
years, the men who fought under the
stars sod strlpea and those who fol
lowed the stars and bars into the din
of battle bare met on the battlefield at
Gettysburg this time not to fight for
the cause that both sides believed to
be right, but to celebrate the semicen
tennial anniversary of the greatest
battle ever fought on American soli
and, with one exception, the greatest
battle ever fought in the history of the
world. About 40.000 veterans met and
fought the battle over again tula time,
reposing in comfortable chairs and tell
ing the younger generation of the trials
ana Hardships of fifty years ago.
The quiet Uttle Pennsylvania town
Stepped back fiftY Tears and looked
upon the army of blue and the army of
gray meeting again on her doorstep
and thereby showed to the world that
the scars of battle are not as deep as
the feeling of American brotherhood.
From the first day of the celebration
until the last from early morning until
long after the sun had gone down the
veterans trooped around the little town
which had so peacefully stent smona
Its hills since Lee and Meade turned
their legions southward and met for
the fler. three days' battle so many
years ago. When the soldiers arrived
In Gettysburg they found the stars and
stripes fluttering from every window
or every house In the town. The stars
and bars were much in evidence.
During the celebration train after
train arrived In Gettysburg each
crowded with old men from all parts of
xne country. The average age of the
lonrederate civil war veteran today is
seventy-two years.
The veterans lost no time In leaving
their trains and establishing them
selves In camp. Five thousand tents.

of this battle. The tents fell westward
with the slope of the ground from the
Emmlssary road to the point on Semi

started on the third day of the fli-lit
They covered the "Peach Orchard" and
the "Wheat Field," where thousands
of men were lost, and part of the
ground over which Pickett charrreil
but they did not reach the "Bloody
Angle" or the base of Cemetery ridge,
from whose height Meade's artillery
cut to pieces the legions of Pickett
The formal exercises were held In a
tent near the Emmitsburg road, but
they lasted but two hours each day.
The veterans spent the remainder of
the time as they pleased, renewing ac
quaintances and greeting comrades
whom they had not seen or heard of for
ue intervening nrty years.
Never in the time of peace had the
old town witnessed anvthln? thnr or.
celled In grandeur the parades of the
feeble veterans that passed along the
main street of Gettysburg day after
aay. The white haired soldiers, many
stooped from old age, marched in line,
either with the rebels or the Yankees,
each day of the celebration.
The arrangements for feeding the old
soldiers were excellent Good meals,
differing greatly from those that they
obtained in the stirring days of 18C3,
were served the old soldiers and In
true camp fashion. The veterans in
the happiest humor waited in line to
get their rations.
Of the Union leaders only one corps

name will ever be linked with Gettys
burg because of the memorable charge
that his division made against the
Union center, a charge that will live
In history as long as valor is com
memorated. On July 4 President Wilson was one
of the speakers. Many other men no

the celebration and reunion.

FLYING BOAT USED
IN PRACTICAL WAY
Chicago Man Plans to Fly to
and From His Office.
Chicago. A striklnz indication of
the part that aviation is destined to
take in practical problems of trans
portation is given by a recent tend
ency, lust beginning to manifest Itself
in America, to use the flying boat in a
practical way for ordinary business
purposes. For daily travel between
Chicago and his home In Lake Forest,
a suburb twenty-five miles north of
the business center of the city, Harold
P. McCormlck Is niannlne to use a
Curtiss flying boat This flying boat
Is adapted fur use as an aeroplane, but
is said to be a stanch and seaworthy
boat as well. In ordinary practice It
will be run in such a way as to skim
he surface of the water or to flv a
short distance alove It, thus eliminat
ing many of the dangers both of flvinc
and of high speed boating. The pro
peller is located at the bow of the boat
and pulls the machine along Instead of
driving it. In this position the nro-
peller drives the air blast through the
radiator, making It possible to keep
the engines cool for hours when the
boat Is running at slow speed on the
water. The hull differs from that of
the standard type In having a V shap
ed bottom, a feature designed to make
It a smooth riding craft In choppy sens.
Seats will be provided In the cockpit
for four pasengers. while the front
seat will give room for the driver and
one passenger, an arrangement similar
to that of the four passenger automo
bile. As a matter of safety the control
Is arranged so that either of the occn-
pants of the front seat can handle the
machine-
Power is supplied bv a Curtiss elirM
cylinder motor of the latest type. This
motor, which Is designed for oneratlon
at moderately high speeds, is rated at
rrom iw to 100 horsepower and shows
100 brake horsepower at l.Sno revnln.
tlons per minute. The weight of the
motor, exclusive of radiator, Is 310
pounds. During recent trials this ma
chine was run at the rate of a mlln
a minute flying in the air and at the
rate of fifty miles an hour when op
erated as a hydroaeroplane.

no reason why congress should not
conclude Its labors by the middle of

Itepresentstive Henry of Trial ex.
pressed the opinion that congress prob
ably would reiualu In session continu
ously until late in the summer of nit
year. In the course of the debate In
tne nouse of representatives Mann of
Illinois, the Itel'tibllcan leader, mailt
the remark that this session would con.
tlnue until IVcembor.
Prophecies as to the duration of the
session are based on the theory tlmt
congresa will follow the rivoimiiemU
uon or I'resiiieut llson and enact a
banking and currency reform law.
lemocratlc leaders are In a txwltlnn
to force the passage of such a measure
n tne nouse, put In the senate, where
no cloture rule obtalus, there Is not anv
way to cut off debate as long as sena
tors want to talk. Senators have bro
ken long talking records In the iinm
currency debates, and fear Is expressed
null not even the torrid atmosphere of
the dog days or the humldltv of the
early rail months will drive them away
rrom tne lob.
Many representatives and senators
have died aa the result of exposure to
tue extreme best that attends Wash
ington summers. The weather here Is
particularly severe on the elderly, and
there are many men of advuueed years
n ootn tne Douse and the senate. This
Is one of the causes of concern on the
part of the responsible leaders.
I tie curreucy b is Deiidliiu in the
house committee. Just how long It
will remain In committee "only the

Despite the restoration to the bill of
tne provisions retiring the present mi
uouai Dank note circulation and re
funding the 2 per cent bonds, unmi
which such circulation is based, there
are other questions that are bound to
take tune In committee and on the floor
of the house.
It Is virtually certain that the bill
wiu not tie passed by the house until
early In August. Troubles uulooked
for are likely to arise that may delay
the passage of the bill uutll the middle

Kansas City. A wedding gift of fif
teen years ago remains inviolable by
