America’s hands aro free, She has Bo Indian frontier to protect, no Jand hunger to appease, no compro: mising pact to keep, and she will abrogate the Russian treaty, Yet the protest of civilization against the wrong done to Persian on a pretext fabricated out of Sbuster’s acta comes from England's lips, not our own. The Enghsh colony at Teheran was a unit in Shuster’s defense. Every important London newspaper, the Times alone ex copied, is cither assailing or criticising the Government's Persian policy. Popular sentiment is setting strongly against the outrage of a state which had faced toward the light and adopted American methods in person of an American administrator. rs would assist her fecord as the champion of oppressed peoples, the world’s great liberal power. It throws into deeper shadow Ar Shuster—in a sense its own nominee for Persian Treasurer-General— by the slightest show of official zeal.

ECRETARY WILSON, the nation’s farmer, pute it too mildly} when he notes that 15,000 tons of potatoes w ately shipped from Scotland for New York City consumption, and declares that “within an hour's ride of the greater city there is enough un- cultivated land to produce many times the amount of this cargo of potatoes.” Right here in the city there is enough uncultivated land oto do that. Figures of several years ago showed that the city wa hen producing 757,159 bushels of potatoes, which is more than this “cargo from Scotland. Probably the average yearly vield at the prea- ent time is double the cargo, for intensive farming within the city is increasing. 4 The metropolis ought to do more to produce its own food supply. ‘We-would get fresher stuff and save freights. Prof. Patten holds that the habit of drawing supplies from remote districts while good land ie left vacant near by is a chief cause of the high cost of living. ‘This city’s farming interests are so large that it has been proposed porate in the new charter a provision for a burcau of agricul- and horticulture. As The Evening World haa noted before, the value of the city’s farms ia half that of all Wyoming's. This year’s harvest hero is estimated as high as $18,000,000. =- These totals, $3,000,000 more than last year's, declare that the Italian and Pole are cultivating vacant land here and that the American should follow suit. Land has been rented of speculative Iuilders, planted in vegetable crops, and watered from the hydrant. The Virgilian goat, the scriptural “lodge in a garden of cucumbers, are a fact of lucrative immigrant agriculture on the city’s outskirte. The rewards of these small farmers are double those of unskilled Jsbor. Many thousands of them have gone upon city land since 1907, The public school “farms” have helped, one school sending fifty lads ' into the up-State harvest ficlds. . What the alien and the achool child have found worth while the native citizen may well undertake himself. Nothing is so responsive to effort as the soil, Every man who cultivates a plot 50x50 feet is almost independent of the green grocer. Sana Res GATHERING NEWS.

HIS is @ brief story of the battle of Gettysburg--a battle creater than had ever fought on Amert soll, a battle Which wee the crisis and turning point of the whole ¢ivil war. Loe, as the preceding article told, invaded the North, Near | Gettysburg such Union troops and militiamen as could be summoned were fore been rushed northward by forced marches to overtake the invaders, On he morning of July 1, 1863, the Confederates clashed with the Union ‘torees that wore already at Gettysburg and drove them back through the town ead to a defensive position on Cemetery Ridge, a half-nile southward. There the Unionists managed to hold their ground. The first day's fighting was strongly in favor of the Confederates, although it cost them 7,000 men. Gen. Meade arrived on the scene carly on the morning of July 2, end by noon most of the Army of the Potomac had come up. Meade placed Bin | forces in the form of a fish-hook, facing Lee's main army, which was on Seminary Ridge, a mile to the west of Meade’s left skirmishing all morning. Hut the day's actual by 4 in the afternoon. It continued until lute at night July 8 was the third and decisive day of the and centre, There was Ue did not begin until about nd with varying fortunes, ttysburg conflict, The attack M. with heavy cannonading, Then followed six ‘hours of spec- lar and bloody fighting, which led up to thé cilmax of the whole battle. Lee Planned a general attack ade'x left and centre, He opened this mai vreat 1 P.M. with a fusttiade from 145 cannon, Vnion batteries of 85 guns replied.

Shot and shell tore throug their ranks. Hi they Kept gallantly on, Ag they came within musket shot the Union earthworks burst into a dazzle of red flame, and volley after volley of musketry was sent crashing into the charging Confederate column. No body of mortal men could withstand that whirlwind of leaden death. Thr once orderly ranks of Pickett's command were rent and smashed, The ground a chance to cool. He gave ano Pickett and Pettix triple ranks a mile scarcely a single variously styled as insane, glorious, suicida place to discuss th As the Confede or 6 was covered with swaths and heaps of slain. Of all that great attacking force almost none reached their destination. ‘The Confederate General, Armistead, with lees than 100 men, broke through the Union line and selzed a cannon. But in « moment he and his handful of followers were all killed SS ptured. Pickett, seeing at last the hopelessness of his attempt, ordered 4 retreat, Back to the safety of the Confederate lines fled the beaten assault-column, leaving 5,000 men on the fleld. y one of Its generals, except Pickett, had fallen. With Pickett's charge and Its fallure ended the battle of Gettysburg, and with tt failed Lee's invasion and his hope of ever again carrying the war into the enemy's own country. From that moment, accor‘ing to many military crittes, the Confederacy was dooined. ‘The flood-tide of the Southern ‘cause’ had deen geached at Gettyeburg. After that it moved steadily toward Its final ebb, The Union lows in the battle was about 23,000; the Confederate lons 1s diversely eati- mated at from 20,00 to 2,000, There were about 88,000 Union and 73,000 Confed- erate troops actually engaged in the fight. On July 4 (independence Day) Lee retreated southward with the whole beaten army. Swarms of Union cavalry followed, scourging the flanks of the retreat- ing Confederates. Lee reached the Potomac, but the loss of his pontoon bridges held him there for days before his army could cro®* to Virginia, Meade followed, but #0 slowly that he missed the opportunity of catching his beaten foe in the trap.
