(WILLIAM TAYLOR I A SPLENDIvTADkIESS Eloquent Indian olis u jator Makes Plea frr Dirjrma ment of NatiorA pJ for World's Peace. ' One of the strongest pleas for dls (armament of nations and universal fceace that has been delivered in iWayne county was included in the address of William Taylor at the Bethel Memorial Day observance this aftertooon. Mr. Taylor is a prominent Indianapolis attorney and republican politician.. His words were delivered with an enthusiasm that was convincing: and the large audience appreciated and responded to his sentiments. . This Is the one big day of the year Eor Bethel and the country roundabout iways makes it a Mecca. Early this inorning the crowd began to gather. Many of the visitors . brought picnic dinners with them. By noon It was estimated there was near 1 ,000 persons in the quiet little village. The townsmen had decorated with flags and bunting. The old soldiers were but wearine memorial h&riees. - Bands were playing on the street corners and everywhere there was the spirit of the Occasion manifested.Was a Short March. Preceding the speech making a short inarch was made to the grove about the church. A speakers stand had been erected and seats prepared. The Did soldiers and their wives were given places of honor. An Impressive program of the usual - character ; was rendered. ; Tnere were generous orrer- . Ina-s of flowers to be Disced on the graves of the soldier dead. . Mr. Taylor was Introduced to the audience by Charles E. Shiveley of this city. 4 Mr. Shiveley complimented Bethel on its speaker of the day. Briefly he recounted why Memorial Day Is one of the grandest national holidays and spoke of the great part played in the Civil War by the soldier boys from Indiana and Wayne county. Taylor's Address. Mr.' Taylor spoke in part, as follows: "Most frightful losses were encountered by the soldiers of the armies of (he Union and Confederacy, during the ons: period of. strife. If the soldiers tof the two armies could have been tood up twenty feet apart the line would have reached entirely around the globe. To appreciate the ravages wt ought by the war It would do well to remember that if it were possible for the graves of those soldiers to be laid In a row 125 feet apart across land and cean, these graves of; men slain In attle or victims of Injuries and sickness, would entirely encircle the ferorld. "When compared to other wars, all tears sink into Insignificance as to the great losses sustained. The light brifade, under Lord Cardigan, at Balaklaa, made famous by Tenjnyson, lost 36 ber cent in killed wounded In that awKl crater. In the war of the rebelm that loss was more than duplicated by 200 regiments in single battles, hlxty-four regiments in the Union army lost over SO per cent killed and wounded in a single battle, and fiftyfour regiments In the Confederate army lost the same per cent. . Made Great Record. "Nearly at the head of the list of t.OOO regiments In the Union . army which sustained losses, stands the Enneteentn inaiana. cominanaea oy ol Meredith, of this county and remitted from among the people of this flctnity. At a single battle, that of Kanassas. this regiment lost 61 per rent of Its number, and at Gettysburg the percentage was 44 of all those who went into action. The 'Iron Brigade,' f which the Nineteenth was a member fa the single battle of Gettysburg, out sf 1,883 men, lost 1.153 'killed or wounded, or 61 per cent, nearly double the loss of the famous 600 under Cardi- " fan :v)-r''',"--'y?:::.--'' v "All these facts emphasise the fact that never since the discovery of gun- , powder have the battle losses been of ' ruch frightful magnitude as In that iwful war. which today we recall. It s all because it was a contest between brothers of the Anglo-Saxon race. The essons to be drawn are more than can e mentioned in a single address. The tistory of this country can well be diIded into parts one the time before ifter. All the story of the republic rom the landing of the first slave unit slavery went down with secession, olnted Inevitably to the coming struggle. Our Colore Lead.
