Some of those flags were made by Ilu-lun suualnl, Beattle, Wash, pretty young ladies in crinoline and presented while the bands played and hopes ran high. When you read such books as Bell Irvin Wiley's current “Life of Johnny Reb” you seem to know those young ladies and those young soldiers—and they aren't so differ- ent from today's boys in the GI suits, and the girls they go around with. ‘That war was a dark and terrible valley of death, and the indignities inflicted on the conquered after- ward were darker and more terrible still.
