The blue and the gray are Joining hands In joint commemora- rjtlon of the brave men who fought on froth aides, and they are taking stops to make the ceremonies formal and offi cial.

This Is sacrilege, the veterans think, and some of them have expressed the opinion vigorously. Announcement by G. A. R. Head. In a recent announcement Harvey M. Trimble, commander In chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, paid at tention to the proper observance of the day. He said: "From coast to coast at noon of next Memorial day members of the Grand Army of the Republic, Sons of Vet erans, Daughters of Veterans, Ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic and Ladles' Relief corps will stand un covered for five minutes while bells are tolled and flags are draped at half most. President Toft will be asked to forward such observance of the day by a national proclamation. This will be In accordance with the suggestion made by the Philadelphia Press last Memorial day and Indorsed unani mously by the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic In Rochester last summer." The sentiment expressed finds an echo In the south. Thla year no great "blue and gray" celebration will take place. but next year, not on Memorial day, but on the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, tho greatest fight of the war, there will be a gathering of the survivors that will be noteworthy. It will be a "love feast" such as took place last year on the battlefield of Bull Run when the "Yanks" and the "Rebs" foregathered to tell how they fought one another fifty years before. In an official order to the United Con federate Veterans, Issued early this year. Lieutenant General C Irvine Walker said: "The great stato of Pennsylvania has decided to celebrate with due dignity and Importance In July, 1911, the fif tieth anniversary of the battle of Get tysburg. Pennsylvania appointed a commission to carry out this plan. Thla commission has presented the matter to congress. At the meetings in Washington, Jan. 11 and 11, your commander was so fraternally and urgently Invited that he felt he would be faithless to your best interests were be not to accept. He therefore did so and was met by his once enemies so cordially as to disarm prejudice and make him feel that they were honestly desirous of commemorating a peace with whloh the soothing hand of time has blessed our country. Ex-Confederates' Sentiment "Tour commander feels that the time has come when by Invitation of our one time foes we can unite with them In celebrating that permanent peace which we pray may forever bless this our great and glorious coun trynot the country for which we fight, but that which has arisen from the ashes of that great revolution and the country in which we have our homes and firesides and that country which we will teach our children eve!
