 U. D. c. CROSSES OF HONOR. There have been reports of the mis. l use of the Crosses of Honor which the United Daughters Of the Confederacy confer upon Confederate Veterans. Re. ports that counterfeit crosses have in some States been made and worn by ! those who have no right to them, and
 at the U. D. c. Convention, held last week, Mrs. Augustine T. Smythe, Pres ident-Generai, referred to the fact m her annual report in which she Is quot ed as saying:
 These rumors were early in the year
 brought to the attention of your Pres ident who immediately made ell en- quiries and is glad to tell you that cer. tainly 1lo intentional wrong has been done.
 By some mistake or misunderstand- ing in preparing for certain reunions.
 badges were made and distributed
 among the. veterans which certainly
 resembled closely the Cross of Honor.
 These evidently gave rise to the painful
 reports, and your President immedi-
 ateiy requested the Corresponding Sec-
 retary to send out circulars to every division commander among the vete-
 rams, requesting the disuse and destruc-
 ton of these badges. The President
 also communicated personally by letter
 with several of the veterans in author
 ity who gave her all aid. Adjutant-
 General Mickle most kindly incorporat-
 ed our circular in one of his general
 orders which was sent to every camp.
 and so we hope that trouble Is a thing
 of the past.
