“His Face to the Foe.”

“Slain in Battle.” “He fell with his face to the foe.” These wete the messages that were flashed over the wires and sent to the waiting ones at home by brave and thoughtful comradefl. Those who lived through those trying times need not be reminded^how sdcred is thq trust committed to ISur chargS. They know what the day means In all its Jompfehen•riy4*an3 broad significance, and it needs no burst oi martial music, no flourish of trumpets or beating of drums to tell the story. They know the history of those trying days, and the most eloquent efforts of Oratory cannot make it more clear or more dear to them._
