Parks Preserve Battle Memories Historic Engagements Commemorated by National Military Reservations. Washington. In view of the numerous measures which have been introduced in congress during the past several years for the establishment of national military parks, national monuments, or the placing of markers and tablets in commemoration of historic battles which have been fought on the soil of the United States, It has been proposed that the War department undertake studies and investigations of all battlefields with the view of preparing a general plan as well as detailed projects where necessary for properly commemorating these battlefields and adjacent points of historic and military interest. Congress has In the past provided for the commemoration of battles in one of three ways: First, by the establishment of national military parks; second, by Indicating the lines-obattle by markers or monuments, or both, without establishing parks; third, by single monuments without otherwise marking the field. It is the view of the War department that' national military parks should as a general rule cover a comparatively large area of ground, probably some thousands of acres, and so marked and Improved as to make them Into real parks available for detailed study by military authorities, the battle lines and operations being clearly Indicated on the grounds. The number of such parks would have to be kept fairly low, it Is believed, because of the expense of maintenance. Less Important and extensive engagements which have nevertheless a definite military and political effect could be properly commemorated according to the scheme of the War department by the placing of a limited number of markers, the idea being that small areas of ground on the site of the battle could be purchased and appropriately marked and the whole aggregation of separate areas designated as a national monument First National Military Park. The first national military park was established by congress on April 10, 1800, to commemorate the battles of This Chickamauga and Chattanooga. park consists of a main tract of about 5,600 acres covering the battlefield of Chickamauga, and detached areas in Wauhatchle valley, on Lookout mountain, on Missionary ridge and elsewhere obtained for the purpose of establishing the lines of battle on the field of Chattanooga. The second military park established was that of Gettysburg. The marking of the battle lines on this field was begun under the act of March 3, 1893, but the park itself was established under the act of February 11, 1805, which authorized the secretary of war to accept for this purpose from the Gettysburg Memorial association about 800 acres of ground. Since the establishment of the park It has been greatly enlarged and now covers an area of approximately 2,530 acres. Under the act of December 27, 1894, congress established the third national military park, that of Shiloh. The act stated: That in order that the armies of the Northwest which served In the Civil war, like their comrades of the Eastern armies at Gettysburg and those of the Central West at Chickamauga, may have the history of one of their memorable battles preserved on the ground where they fought, the battlefield of. Shiloh, In the State of Tennessee, is hereby declared a national military park. . . According to the text of the various acts, these three military parks were designated by congress not only to preserve for historical and professional study the battlefields themselves, but also to serve as lasting memorials to the great armies of the war. The field of Gettysburg was to be a memorial to the Union Army of the Potomac as well as the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia ; the field of Chickamauga, a memorial to the Union Army of the Cumberland and the Confederate Army of Tenne-seand the field of Shiloh a memorial to the Union Army of the Tennessee and the Confederate armies f e, 1812, and ... m Earthquake Shakes Arkhangelo, Apolakkla, and Mono-lithMore Than 2000 Homes Are Destroyed great earthquake has demore than 2000 houses on the stroyed island of Rhodes, in the Aegean sea.
