W T w •y EDWARD 8. CLARK. - FiSHINGTON.--It la p^BSf- ble, some people would say probable, that the Battle of Gettysburg changed utterly the course of American his­ tory. It -was a great fight between armies of Americans, for probably fully ninety per cent, of the men who fought on the two aides were born natives to the American soil. The bravery shown at Gettysburg waa of the order Which Americans have shown on every field and which re­ flects credit upon the hardy and heroic ancestry of the men engaged, 110 matter from what rate they may bave sprung. At Gettysburg there was nothing to choose between the valor of the North and the South. The South lost the fight, but it lost It honorably and •with the prestige of Its soldiery un- <dlmmed. The charges made on that field have gone down into history as assaults made under conditions which every man felt might mean death at the end. The defenses made at Gettys­ burg were of the kind which it takes Iron in the blood to make perfect. At Gettysburg Northerners and South­ erners replenished their store of re­ spect for their antagonists. The bat­ tle marked the high tide of the war between the states. After it the South largely was on the defensive, but its defense was maintained with, fortitude and in the face of privations which could not chill the blood of men fighting for what they thought vat the right. The Northern armies were persis­ tent in their attacks through the cam­ paigns which after a few months were started aglnst the objective point, Richmond. Brave men here and brave men there, and after the end came it "was the qualities which keep com­ pany with bravery which made the soldiers of the North and South so ready to forget and to forgive and to work again for the good of a com­ mon country. The great battle of Chancellorsvtlle was fought not long before the oppos­ ing Union and Confederate forces met SO the field of Gettysburg. Chancel- lorsville was a Confederate victory. The Southern government believed that the victory should be followed up by an invasion of the North for, ao- <5ordfng to its reasoning, if an import­ ant engagement could be won upon Northern soil the chances of foreign Intervention or at least foreign aid to the Southern cause, would be forth­ coming. General Rbbert B. Lee late in the spring of 1863, made his preparations to conduct his campaign Northward Into the state of Pennsylvania. He had under his command three corps, General James Longstreet command­ ing the First, General Richard S. EwelL commanding the Second, and General A. P. Hill commanding the Third. In the Union army which aft­ erward confronted Lee at Gettysburg, there were seven corps, but the num­ ber of men in each was much less than that in a Confederate corps, the military composition qf each being different. The Union corps comman­ ders who under Meade were at Get­ tysburg, were Generals John P. Rey­ nolds, W. S. Hancock, Daniel E. Sickles, George Sykes, John Sedgwick. ©. O Howard and H. W. Slocum. Forces Almost Evenly Matched. It never has been determined be­ yond the point of all dispute just how many men were engaged on each side (n the battle of Gettysburg. It is known that the armies were very nearly equal in strength, the proba­ bilities being that the Confederate force was a few thousand men strong­ er than the Union force, a difference which was balanced perhaps by the fact that the Union armies at Gettys- buig were fighting In defense of their land from Invasion, a condition which military men say always adds a sub­ tle something ts the fighting quality which 1b in any man. Some authori­ ties have said that there were 100,000 men In the Confederate forces at Get­ tysburg to be confronted by 90,000 Union troops. Another authority says that the Confederate force was 84,000 and the Union force 80,000. As it was the armies were pretty nearly equally divided in strength. 'In June. 1863. General Robert • Lee began to move northward. Lee concentrated his army at Winchester, Va., and then started for the Potomac river, which he crossed to reach the state of Maryland. He fully expected to be followed by General Hooker's army and so General Stuart with a large force of cavalry was ordered by Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army and to check his pnrsuit of the' Can* federates If it was attempted. Late in June the Confederate force reached Hagerstown. in the state of Maryland. It was General Leo's in­ tention to strike Harrlsburg, Pa., which was a great railroad center and a city where Union armies "were recruited and from which all kinds of supplies were sent out to the soldiers in the field. While the Southern com­ mander was on his way with a large part of his force to the Pennsylvania capital another part of his command was ordered to make itB way into the Susquehanna Valley through the town of Gettysburg and then to turn in its course after destroying railroads and gathering in supplies, and to meet the Confederate commander with the main army at Harrlsburg. It waB General Jubal. A. Early of General Lee's command, who reached Gettysburg after a long hard march on June 26. Prom there he went to the town of York and from thence to Wrightsville. At this place he was ordered by General Lee to retrace his steps and to bring his detachment back to a camp near Gettysburg. When Early ahd obeyed Lee's order MaJ. Gen. John F. Reynold*. and had reached a point near Gettys­ burg he found the entire Southern force was camped within easy strik­ ing distance of the now historic town. In the meantime things were hap­ pening elsewhere. General Hooker in command of the Union army which had been depleted at Chancellorsvllle, had succeeded lit out-maneuvering General Stuart in command of Lee's cavalry, had got around Stuart's com­ mand in a way to prevent the South­ ern general from forming a junction with the forces of his chief comman­ der. Lee gave over the proposed movement on Harrlsburg when he heard of Hooker's approach and brought the different parts of his army together. Four days before the Gettysburg fight began General 'Hooker resigned as commander of the Union army. Hooker and General Hallock dis­ agreed upon a matter concerning which strategists today say that Gen­ eral Hooker was right. Three days before the battle began, that is, June 28, 1863, General George Gordan Meade was named as General Hook­ er's successor in charge of the North­ ern army. General Meade at onoe went into the field and established his headquarters at a point ten or twelve miles south of the town of Gettysburg. Armies .Meet at Gettysburg. It seems that General Lee on hear­ ing that Stuart had not succeeded in checking the Union crmy's advance •had made up his mind to turn south­ ward to meet the force of Hooker, or as it turned oat the force of Meade. Lee with his' force had advanced north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade with his force was south of the town. The fields near the Pennsylvania vil­ lage had not been picked as a place of The Union guns at one time oasssd firing, and it is said that the Southern commander thought they had been silenced,.,and then it was that Long- street's men made an assault and ' Pickett's men made :their chafge. The former ..general's objective, was Big, Round 1ty>, but his Jtorces were driv-> en t?acfe Picket formed his division battle, hut t^hefe it, was that the two Lin brigade columns and they moved great armies chme together and fe. directly across the fields over fiat three days struggled for the mas­ tery. On the last day of June. ..the day before the real hattld of Gettysburg began. General Reynolds, a corps commander of the Union army,- went forward to feel out the enemy. He reached*Gettysburg by nightfall. His corps, the First, together with the Third and the Eleventh Infantry Corps with a division of cavalry, com­ posed the Union army's left wing. The Fifth Army Corps waa sent to Hanover, southeast of Gettysburg, and the Twelfth Corps waa immedi­ ately south of Gettysburg at a dis­ tance of eight or nine miles. This was on June 30, and the Union forces were fairly well separted, but th«4r were converging and Gettysburg wijs their objective. General Reynolds pf the Union forces arrived at Gettysburg early -on the morning of July 1. He dispatched a courier to Meade saying that the high ground above Gettysburg waa the proper place to meet the enemy. Not long after this message was sent to Meade General Reynolds who dls- patched it, was killed. He was oh horseback near a patch of woods with his force confronting a large detach­ ment of Confederate troops which was coming toward them. These troops of the enemy were dispersed by the Union batteries and Reynolds was watching the successful solid shot and shrapnel onset when a bullet struck him in the head killing him in­ stantly. General Abner Doubleday succeeded Reynolds .itf command of the troops at that point of the field. A brigade of Confederates, a Mississippi organi­ sation, charged the Union forces, broke their organization and succeed­ ed in making prisoners of a large part of a New York regiment. Later these men were recaptured and the Missis­ sippi brigade was driven back, a por­ tion of it surrendering. In the fight on the first day at this point of the field or near it, one Union regiment, the 151st Pennsylvania, loBt in killed and wounded 337 men out of a total of 446 in a little more than A quarter of an hour's fight*. General Doubleday fell back to Sem­ inary Ridge and extended his line. The forces employed against him here were greater than his own, and after hard fighting Seminary Ridge was given up. The first day's battle was in effect and in truth a victory for the Southern arms. On the night of July 1 General Hancock arrived and succeeded in rallying the Union forces and putting new heart into the men. General Meade on that night ordered the entire army to.Gettys­ burg. Victory Not Followed Up. For some reason or other perhaps unknown to this day, what was virtu­ ally a Confederate victory on the first of July was not followed up by Gen­ eral Lee early on the next morning. General Meade therefore succeeded in strengthening his lines and in pre­ paring for the greater conflict. One end of the Union line was some dis­ tance east of Cemetery Hill on Rock Creek, another end was at Round Top something more than two miles be­ yond Cemetery Hill to the south. The Confederate line confronting It was somewhat longer. It is impossible in a brief sketch of this battle to give the names of the brigade and the regimental comman­ ders and the names of the regiments which were engaged on both sides in this great battle. Meade, Hancock. Howard, Slocum and Sickles with their men were confronting Lee, Longstreet, Hill, Ewell and the other great commanders of the South with their men. The line of battle with the spaces in between the different com­ mands was nearly ten miles. It was the Confederate general's intention to attack at the extreme right and lei'l j and at the center simultaneously, ir I was to be General Longstreet's duty \ to turn the left flank of the Union i army and to "break it." Longstreet s i Intended movement was discovered in time to have it met valiantly. The ! battle of the second day really be gan with Longstreet's advance. The Southern general did not succeed in the plan which he had formed to get by Big Round Top and to attack the Third Corps from a position of van­ tage in the rear. General Sickles de­ fended Round Top and Longstreet could not take It. When one visits the battlefield of Gettysburg he can trace the course of battle of the second day where It ragpd at Round Top, Peach Orchard, Cemetery Hill. Culp's Hill, and what is known as The Devil's Den. The tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Lit­ tle Round Top was saved from cap­ ture by the timely arrival of a brigade commanded by General Weed that dragged the guns of .a United States regular battery up to the summit by hand. At the end of the second day's fight it was found that the Southern army had failed to break the left flank of the opposing forces, that it had failed to capture Round Top and that the right flank of the Northern army, al­ though vigorously attacked, had not been broken. There was a tremen­ dous loss of life on both sides, and while in general the day had gone favorably to the Northren cause Get­ tysburg was still a drawn battle. Charge of Gsn. Pickett. It was on July 3, the third and last day of the great battle of Gettysburg that Pickett's men made their charge which has gone into history as one of the most heroic assaults of all time. It was forlorn hope but It was grasped and the men of George Ed­ ward Pickett, Confederate soldier, went loyally and with full hearts to their death acrosa S shrapnel and rifle swoTt field. When the third day's fighting open- ad It began with an artillery duel, hundreds of guns belching forth shot Snd death from the batteries of both contending forces. It is said that this tras the greatest duel engaged in by field plecea during the four years of ih« war between the statftk. ly across the ileitis over ground. They had no cover and they had no sooner come Into effective- r&oKQ than they were met by such a; storm ot shot as never before swe^K over a field of battle. , . j. They went on aad^on, and, Afc-flWe- ing in their depleted* rankB an^" mov­ ing steadily forward to their death. Those of Pickett's men who reafched their destination had a short hand to- v hand encounter with the northern sol-j" diers. It was soon over and Pickett's!-? charge, glorioua for all time in his*, tory. was a. failure in that which it Maj. Gen. George G. Meads. attempted to do, but waa a success as helping to show the heroism of Amer­ ican soldiers. The losses at Gettysburg on both sides were enormous. The Union army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth, Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Gra­ ham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Double- day, Barlow, Sickles, Butterfield and Hancock were wounded. The total casualties killed .wounded, captured or missing on the Union side num­ bered nearly 24,000 men. On the Con­ federate side Generals Semmes, Pen­ der, Garnet, Armistead, and Barks- dale were killed, and Generals Kemp­ er, Kimbal, Hood, Heth, Johnson and Trimble were wounded. The entire Confederate loss is estimated to have been nearly 30,000 men. The third day's light at Gettysburg was a victory for northern arms, but it was a hard won fight and the con­ flict reflects luster today upon the north and the south. Lee led his army back southward, later to con­ front^ Grant in the campaigns vhtob finally ended at Appomattox. Forces Engaged and Losses.

REVEALS SECRETS OF GREAT Confessed Lobbyist for Manit- r facturers Gives Names. CHARGES SOME WERE AIRED Martin M. Hulhall la Subpoenaed by Senate, Committee as Result of His Sensational Allegations-- Prominent Men Attacked. Washington, June 30.--Further sen­ sations in the senate's lobby investiga­ tion were foreshadowed when it be­ came known that a subpoena had been served on Martin M. Mulhall of, Balti­ more, who had declared over his sig­ nature that, he had been for years the active "field agent" and lobbyist of the National Association of Manufactur­ ers. The subpoena was* ordered by Chair­ man Overman of the lobby investigat­ ing committee after representations had been made to him that> Mr. Mul­ hall was willing and able W give the committee important facts regarding attempts to influence legislation, to elect or defeat, candidates for con­ gress and to control the.make-up of Committees in congress. /T Says Congressmen Wen Paid. Direct charges of lobbying and of congressmen being hired and paid were made in the statement made by Mr. Mulhall, who purported to give there Is experiences as "chief lobbyist and field agent of the Nation*! Asso­ ciation of Manufacturers" between 1903 and 1912. In the statement, the forerunner of ssveral others, were given names of scores of present and former members of congress who, he alleges, were "subservient" or who were defeated for office by the association when they failed to follow its beck and call. Even pages of the fiouse of repre­ sentatives were named as agents of the association in getting clandestine­ ly information on pending legislation that might be used. The tale tells of the loan of postal franks, charges the elimination of com­ mittee members in congress not con­ sidered favorable to the manufacture ers, declares that the Taft tariff com­ mission was brought about by manu­ facturers to put off revision of the tariff, and adds that in his time of service Mr. Mulhall spent $200,000 in the aforementioned interests of the manufacturers, as well as in bribing labor leaders In breaking up strikes. In includes mention of a futile effort to bribe Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, with $40,000. Details an "Inslduoue" Lobby. Mulhall's statement endeavors to es­ tablish, among other things, the fol­ lowing: The the National Association of Manufacturers backs an "insiduous lobby' in Washington with 5,000,000 members having $10,000,000,000; That, while ostensibly a nonpolitical organization, it has had, through the National Council for Industrial De­ fense, virtual charge of tariff legisla­ tion in this cuontry, "making and breaking" public servants as suited its purpose, expending huge sums therefor. That it hais bought and bribed union officials in breaking up strikes. That it has had the making of con­ gressional committees within its power. That the association was solely re­ sponsible for the Taft tariff commis­ sion. That congressmen were hired out­ right That a great lobby staff was main talned. That congressmen were aided in their campaigns if favorable to the manufacturers. That even ministers *ere used to defeat labor unions. Mr. Mulhall gives a list of names of men prominent in public life who dealt with him in the secret lobby work in congress. He also designates certain offlclals as having received financial reward for their services to the manufacturers, or for political purposes while In office. A long list of names is also given of men whom Mulhall claims were the lobbyists for the association. Names of many pub­ lic officials whose elections were fought with money and influence by the association, sometimes success­ fully, are given in Mulhall's allega­ tions. Mr. Mulhall's statement described trips he said he made Into half a doz­ en states with money and with orders from the association to do everything in his power to elect or defeat certain candidates for office. Makes Second Statement. In a further statement Colonel Mul­ hall cites, as an instance of the se­ crecy with which the alleged lobby worked, severs] letters bearing the typewritten signature "No Sig," writ­ ten without address and on plain paper. These, the colonel 'asserts, came from the secretary of the Na­ tional Association of Manufacturers. All the "No Sig" letters contain warnings to be careful against expos­ ing the methodB of the lobby. Colonel Mulhall was warned against running up a large expense account, because "at the very best there is not going to be enough money to go around." "You can get along without paying for much of anything," the letter adds, "if you only think so. Remember that you are very generous." Preparation for Knowledge. No man can learn what he has not preparation for learning, however near to his eyes is the subject.

Emery Makes Reply. , ^ ' Mr. Emery, counsel for the Ns-' tional -Association of Manufacturers, said: "The statement of the alleged Col­ onel Mulhall illustrates the most dan­ gerous and malicious form of false­ hood--that which fabricates a tissue of iies on a slight foundation of troth. It is trye that the National Associa­ tion of Manufacturers has for a num­ ber of years, in co-operation with many business associations, opposed legislation proposed and persistently demanded by organized labor for the purpose of relieving labor combina­ tions of civil and criminal liability for their acts In furtherance of trade disputes, to validate the boycott and to cripple the power of the federal and state courts, to give equitable protection to personal and' property rights of employer and • employe threatened with Injury or destruction In the course of such disputes. Fought In Open. "The opposition of this association to such measures has not been secret, but it has sought every way to give publicity to these proposals, to the nature of the forces behind them and to the character of support which they were receiving from public men In the hope that, public attention be­ ing attracted to them, public opinion would jutftly condemn them. "During the course of this contest organized labor has undertaken to elect representatives pledged to its proposals and persistently endeavored to defeat public men who opposed its dmand that labor combinations be ex­ empted from the general penal and civil law and that Injunctive protec­ tion be withdrawn from the property and rights of employers engaged In labor distutes, and this has sometimes been an iBsue, as in the famous Lit- tlefleld campaign In Maine. The as­ sociation has appealed to its mem­ bers and to business men generally to give support to public men who dared to oppose such pernicious de­ mands. Tells Mulhall's Work. "Mulhall was employed in some in­ stances in campaigns where such Is­ sue existed to enlist the legitimate support of business men in an effort to defend their own elementary rights and prevent the defeat of public men for their plain performance of duty. "It has been likewise part of the duty of the Washington office of the association to answer the inquiries of members of business associations with respect to pending legislation. To this end Mulhall frequently col­ lected or arranged for the collection of documents and sometimes inter­ viewed members of congress with re­ spect to progress of legislation. "Many of the public men specifically mentioned as having been "influenced^ by officers or agents of this associa­ tion I do not know even by sight. - Gives Lie Direct. "The statement that any of the pub- lie men named in Mulhall's charges were ever in the employ of the asso­ ciation, directly or indirectly, while in or out of public office. Is a sinister and diabolical lie. The statement that any room in the capitol was ever placed by any one at the disposal of any of Its officers or agents, or that any page or other person In the service of con­ gress was in its employ, directly or in­ directly, is no less maliciously -un­ just to the individuals named than tb the National association or its offi­ cers. "A prompt Investigation by an ex­ isting committee, which his associa­ tion would warmly welcome, will bare the motives of this slander and the character of this venal assassin of public men. It might also expose the character qt the labor lobby which makes our efforts necessary." Would Broaden Quiz. "The lobby investigation has" gone far beyond its original scope," said Chairman Overman, "and I don't see any course for us to pursue but to ask for more power from the senate and to go into every phase of the remark­ able situation that has been devel­ oped. "I was informed that Mr. Mulhall had information that bore directly upon lobbying work at Washington, and accordingly issued a subpoena late last night to serve upon him before be left Washington. Much of the statement credited to him bears upon legislation In previous congress­ es, which is outside the scope of the resolution under which we are work­ ing. "It is my personal opinion that the committee should ask tlfe senate for full authority to go into any angle, of legislative lobbying in any previous congress."
