Father Thomas Sherman has re-

The failure of his projected trip over
the route of his fathers march to the
sea he attributes to complete misin-
depreciation of his motives by the peo-
pie of Georgia. To a reporter he said:
MY connection with the expedition has
never been understood. The military
detachment was in the field by order
of the War Department to study civi
war maneuvers. 1 was an invited
guest because Gen. Sherman was my
father. Nobody had any idea of af-
fronting the Southern people. There
was no such a thing as a bodyguard
