TARDY HONOR IS GIVEN
(Continued from First rase.)
J cate this monument to the predecessors f
or the present regular Army on a field
on which they won undying glory and
perpetual gratitude from , the Nation
which they served. They had not the
.local v association, they had not the I
friends- and neighbors of the volunteer
forces to see to it that their deeds ot
valor were properly recorded and the
value of their services suitably noted in -the
official records by legislative and
Congressional action and they have now
; to depend upon the truth of history and
on tne coia. cairn retrospect of the war
as it was to secure from Congress this
suitable memorial of the work in the sav
ing of the country which they wrought
here.
"AH honor to th regular Army of
the United States. Never in its history ,
has It had a stain upon its escutcheon." j
South Glad of Its Defeat. j
Mr. Dickinson, a Southern man by ;
birth, turned over the monument to the j
Gettysburg National Park Commission on
behalf of the people of the United States,
saying :
"Commercial and other considerations
would as Pure as fate have brought about !
a dissolution of the Confederacy. What
would have come from this, we can only
conjecture. but it is well within the
bounds of reason to assert that the good
would have been dwarfed in comparison
with the evil.
"There would have been a hate and
rivalry between North and South as In
tense as that between France and Ger
many, with a border line far more ex
tended, people less amenable to control
and causes for friction more numerous.
A cordon of forts would have stretched
from the Atlantic to the Western border
of Texas and army and navy establish
ments would have devoured the sub
stance of the people and militarism would
have dominated civil government. The
civilization of all the states would have
depended on different and more critical
lines. It may be that in the logic of
events the war hadtp come, that it was
the- fierce, cruel and inevitable crucible
which was to fulfill a destiny that of
making us, as it did, a stronger and
more harmonious people, united with a
solid front to meet the problems that now
confront our race.
"At this day there are but few. . If
any, dispassionate thinkers-n the North
who question the patriotism of those
of the South, who on this stricken
field gave an example of American
valor that will forever thrill the minds
and hearts of mankind in all countries
and in all ages. And at this day there
are in the South but few if any who
would not turn swiftly with sentiment
of abhorrence from any suggestion that
it would have been better for the South
if it had succeeded in establishing an
independent government. And this is
true even of the survivors."
try aroused on behalf of the Navy.
This has led to a varied and changeable
policy in respect to the regular Army.
At times It has been reduced to almost
nothing. In 1S74 there were but 80
men who constituted the regular Army
of the United States, and of these
Battery F of the Fourth Artillery con
stituted 55: but generally the
absolute necessities in the defense of
the country against the same wars
which embt-ace so large a part of our
history have induced the maintenance
of a regular force, small to be sure,
but one so well trained and effective
as always to reflect credit upon the
Nation.
Regulars Conquered Indians.
"To the little army of 25.000 men that
survived the Civil War we owe the
opening of the entire Western country.
The hardships and the trials of fron
tier Indian campaigns which made pos
sible the construction of the Pacific
railroads have never been fully recog
nized by our people, and the bravery
and courage and economy of force com
pared with the task performed by our
regular troops have never been ade
quately commemorated by the Congress
and the Nation. Today as a result of the
Spanish War, the added responsibilities
of our now dependencies in the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and for some time in
Cuba, together with a sense of the In
dependence of our position as a world
power, have led to the increase In our
regular army to a larger force than
ever hefore. but not larger in propor
tion to the increased population and
wealth than in the early years of the
republic. It should not be reduced.
"The profession of arms has always
been an honorable one. Under conditions
or modern warfare it has become a
highly technical one and retires years
of experience and study to adapt the
officers and men to Its requirements.
The general purpose of Congress and
the American people, if one can say
there is a plan or purpose. is
to have such a nucleus as a
regular Army that it may furnish
a skeleton for rapid enlargement In times
of war to a force 10 or 20 times its size,
and at the same time be an appropriate
instrument for accomplishing the pur
pose of the Government in a crisis likely
to arise, other than war.
Nucleus of Vnion Army.
"At West Point we have been able to
prepare a body of professional soldiers,
well trained to officer an army and nu
merous enough at the opening of the
Civil War to give able commanders to
both sides of that lnternuecine strife.
"On the side of the North, many of the
officers were drafted to command the
volunteer troops from the states, while
tho regular Army, aggregating about 10,
at the opening of the war. was In
creased to about 25.0ft) during its first
year. More than half this army was
engaged In the battle of Gettysburg.
Time does not permit me to mention the
names of the heroes of the regular Armv-
whose blood stained this historic field, and
whose sacrifices made the Union victory
possible.
Won Fndylng Glory.
"With my intimate knowledge of the
regular Army, their high standard of
duty, their efficiency as soldiers, their
? high character as men, I have seized
j this opportunity to come here to testify
I to the pride which the Nation should
I Have In its, regular Army and to deul
Shaft Stands in Bloody Angle.
The monument erected on the battle
field of Gettysburg to commemo
rate the services of the regular
army of the United States in the
Gettysburg campaign in 1863. which
was unveiled today, is situated on Han
cock avenue, a little south of the
"Bloody Angle." where Pickett's fear
less men struck the Union line with
sucli disastrous results to the invading
army. The memorial is a shaft 85 feet
high and is made of light-color gran

North Carolina.
The base of the monument is 14
feet square and 17 feet high.' and is
surrounded by a beautiful granite ter
race.' 43 feet square with a two-foot-high
fence or wall. Four entrances, each
14 feet wide with three granite steps,
lead to the base of the monument. On
each side of the second plinth, which
is 12 feet high, is an eagle cut solid
ly on the face of the plinth. Each
eagle is four feet high and all are said
to be the finest modeled ever put in
granite , or cat In bronze in America.
Upon the second plinth rests the plain
shaft, -which Is E3 feet tall.
On each side of the plinth is a large
bronze panel which carries descriptions
of the regular troops engaged at Get

ualties of that fight.
Forty-two small monuments. one

the location each organization occupied
during the battle, are of granite, 24 by

Repairs Take Six Weeks.
Count Zeppelin at once came to Goep
pinpen in an auto and telegraphed
Friedrlchshafen for workmen to make
repairs. After resting several . hours
at a hotel he returned In the evening
to the scene of the accident, proceed
ing thence by automobile to Friedrlch
shafen. He will return here Tuesday
morning. Permanant repairs probably
will require six weeks in order to get
the ship to maneuver. A new prow,
much shorter than the original, will
be constructed without the vertical
steering planes.
No one was injured In the airship,

After Raising Expectations, Does
Not Go to Berlin.
BERLIN. May 1. (Special.) All Ber
lin is exictedly discussing the remark
able scenes- of last evening on Tempel-
hoefer Field, when the Kaiser, the Royal
Princes troops of the Berlin garrison
and an enormous crowd that numbered
500.000 persons waited in vain for five
hours in expectation of seeing Count
Zeppelin arrive in his airship.
The news coming from Friedrlchshafen
spread like wildfire In the afternoon and
at 5 o'clock every available space near
the supposed landing place was crowded.
The Kaiser came all the way from Pots
dam, waiting on the moonlit field until
10 o'clock, before word was received from
Count Zeppelin that he had turned back
on account of adverse winds.
The public is little inclined . to excuse
what Is considered a huge practical joke,
and the opinion is freely expressed that
Count Zeppelin, who was only 132 kilo
metres (82 miles) from Berlin, has lost
a large part of his popularity, even if the
Kaiser is inclined to forgive the joke on
himself.

The Japanese sailors beat the Ameri
can tars in their rowing race at Tacoma
but events here today tend to show the
victory was one of courtesy rather
than skill. A . stiff breeze on-shore
was swelling over Elliott Bay this
morning and at the same time both the
Japanese and American ships were
sending in men in their boats on
shpre leave. Each boat - carried from
20 to 40 men, and was rowed by four
or five pairs of husky oarsmen. Coming
in before the breeze, they made good
time, and races were many. After the
men disembarked, the boats were sent
back to the warships light, and with
but two or four rowers apiece. Some
times a string of empty boats would
be towed out by the launches, but more
often the men fought against. the wind
as they tugged at the oars and tried
to force their way.
.The American oarsmen found It diffi
cult, but the lighter Japanese found it
almost hopeless and were repeatedly
blown back to the aocks, though they
kept persistently at it. One Japanese
boat manned by but two men was
swept by the wind far up the bay and
away from the aso, to which she be
longed. A party of American jackies
in a launch followed and "coached"
the tugging Japanese.
'Stroke there, pull all together, now,
one, two, three," shouted the Ameri
cans. The Japanese swore picturesquely in
Nipponese and the wind carried the
boat down the harbor as if no rowers
were in it. Finally the American tars
tookpity on them and throwing a lne,
towed the exhausted rowers up to
within a cable's length of their ship.
Admiral Ijichl and the other officers
of the Japanese cruisers Aso and Soya
