A Roster of the Armies to be
Published by the War De-
partment.

partment.
By direction Of Secretary Roo
the War Department has embarked
on the executive work of compil
ing and publishing a complete
roster of officers and enlisted mel
United States and Confederate
armies. This is the secretary
own project, and he succeeded in
impressing Congress with the idea
that it would be only just and fair
to the South to place on the official
lists the names Of the COnfedera te
soldiers, in order that their de-
scendants may trace their family
histories with accuracy.
The North, through separate
State publications, has covered
pretty well this ground for its own
soldiers, but the Southern records
and archives were scattered and
destroyed owing to the outcome of
the war, ard it is known that
many frauds are practiced on the
benevolent, and many families
lack important links in their
histories because of the loss Of
these records.
Secretary Root, in calling this
matter to the attention Of Con-
gress, said that the department was
constantly in receipt Of appeals
from State officials, historical
societies and patriotic, or memorial
associations for transcripts of the
military records of State troops, to
answer which would cost more than
a million dollars, so that the most
economical way would be to publish
a complete roster.
The publication will be enormous
in size, including no less than 80
volumes as large as the records.
The Northern LANES will be pub
lished with the Southern, because
it is desired to have all of this
data in one compilation, instead Of
being scattered through various
State books. Moreover, it is felt
to be a graceful thing to bracket
the names of the men who wore the
blue and the gray.
Secretary of War Root has adj
dressed letter to the Governors
of each of the States, asking their
interest and help in this matter.
Governor Montague said the sug
gestion was in line with what he |
had long desired to see accom-
plished, and that it was his pur-
pose to do everything in his power
to aid in the intelligent accomplish
ment Of the work. His Excel !
lency said he would put himself in
touch with prominent Confederate
camp people at once, and ask their
cooperation, and at the proper
time would make the designation
Of some one to represent the State
in the matter. He said too, that
he would use every endeavor to
furnish the department with any
Virginia records not now in their
possession, and that he hoped by
earnest work to be able to see the
'oster of the States troops made
rs nearly complete as was possible.

NEGRO Alumnae and Statistics, -
a booklet recently compiled by
Edward A. Johnson, presents
statistics to prove that there is no
ground for the oft-repeated state
ment that the negro is being over
educated. 1t shows that among
the eight millions of negroes in the
South there are but 1877 college
graduates, of whom twenty-five
are women. Florida, Kentucky,
Maryland, Missouri and West Vir-
ginia have no negro college gradu-
ates. Georgia, with population
of 1913, 1913 blacks, has nine; South
Carolina, with a negro population
of 1872, 321, has twelve; Mississippi,
9O7 $3.50, has fifteen, and North
Carolina, 624, 400, has the largest
number-fOrty-three.

Richmond Streets to be Named
for General Lee.

The Confederate Memorial
Society of Richmond, has petit
toned the committee on streets of
that city to have the names of the
four streets leading to the Lee
monument in the extreme west
-end of the city so changed as to
make them conform with the four
Virginia places of residence Of
Gen. h. +. Lee.
General Lee first saw the light
of day in Westmoreland and his
career came to an end at LeXing-
ton. In the meantime he lived
both in Richmond and Arlington.
Therefore it is suggested that the
names of the four streets be
changed to Westmoreland, Lex
ington, Richmond and Arlington
