THE THANKS OF LEE
COMPLIMENTS NEW ORLEANS FOR
 ITS ENTERTAINMENT.
Patriotic Popuiace of the Crescent City
 Did All in Its Power to Make the Reunion . Success

New Orleans, April 27.-The follow ing general order was issued tonight by General stephen D. Lee. command ing the United Confederate Veterans: | ''i. In thls the. Queen City of the South in which the United Confederate Veterans organization had It's birth. city of confederate monuments and associations where died our only pres ident and where for more than year confederate sentinels guarded his pre- cious remains, city of warm hearted Confederate women and of men full of Confederate ideals, our sixteenth annual reunion has just finished it's session. To many 1t may be a reun- ion where for the last time the touch of the elbow has again been taken up and where the hallowed memories of the war have again been recalled. To each one will come the feeling that while we allow no one in this great country to excel us in our devotion to the principles of free government, we still hold as a priceless heritage the valour, the endurance and the con- stancy of the Confederate soldier dur ing the war between the states and his record as a citizen fighting for Anglo Saxon civilization during the days of reconstruction. A feeling that it is possible that never again will so many of the survivors of our unconquerable armies be permitted to greet each oth- CT causes these old men to look on this meeting with so much tenderness. The patriotic section of the people of this city has done all that was possible to make this gathering memorable and long will it's sweet savour finger in the nostrils of our glorious brotherhood.
 "2. The General commanding does not wish to institute comparisons by singling out the services of any partic- ular individual for special commenda- tion but he would be falling shart of his duty did he not name E. B. Krutt- schnitt, the able and faithful president of the local reunion executive commit tee whose wise counsel, unflagging zeal and indomitable perseverance did so much to assure success and whose un- timely death was such a blow to the committee and such loss to the city and state. To have overcome all diff faculties, to have surmounted all obs stacles and to have been able to com fortably house and abundantly feed the thousands committed to his care. re- fleets the highest credit on the abili- ties of Major James s. Gaines and 1t would be difficult to over-praise him.
 ''To the merchants, who so gaily and Iavishly decorated their places of bus mess; to each little child whose lovely presence made the beautiful living confederate flag at Lee Circle; to the hotels and boarding houses whose charges were never exhorbitant; to the railroads of the South whose cheap rates enabled so many to gather here: to one and all who have contributed to make this reunion such a grand sue cess, the General Commanding wishes to return the love and thanks of every member of the great federation he is proud to command.
 Stephen D. Lee,
 General Commanding"

At a Time When People are Talking oi
 strained Conditions and Unxest.


 New York. April 27.-Speaking of the Southern States at the banquet of the Southern Society last night. Fran cis B. Loomis. former assistant secre- tary of State. said:
 The uncontaminated, uncalculating Americanism of the South promises to be n potent. a conservative and saving influence at a time when people are talking feverishly of strained economic conditions. of political unrest and social upheaval
 We have been told with lavish ex- renditure of energy that pretty much everything is wrong. Furthermore, we are informed that no government can be counted success which permits the rich to grow richer while the poor grow poorer
 Certain of the counts in the indict- ment unfortunately are justified. In so far as the ideal of the commercial and public conduct has been elevated and better standards of political morality evolved the present agitation has been invaluable. But there Is TO valid req son for belittling our Government.
 q am sure that this period the pos sessors of the undiluted American blood of the South will see clearly and act wisely. They will recognize real tiles and conditions AS they actually a

BADGER ATHLETES
TAKE UP BOXING

Madison, Wis, Dec. 19.-The Univer-
sity of Wisconsin is lending encour-
,agement to the boxing game by devot-
ing the time of E. D. Angel, assistant
professor Of physical culture, to the
management of classes for the. instruc-
ton Of the students in the art of fstic
encounter. Professor Angel has gone
about it in a systematic manner and
much enthusiasm is developing in the
enterprise. 4. .-.ss~s v-
Boxing classes have been held here
before, usually under the tutelage of
former Crew Coach Andrew M. O'Dea,
but never before have SO many students
entered the classes as this winter. So
large is the interest that it. is pro-
posed to have championship series of
bouts, in which the various schools and
classes of the university will present
aspirants for the university champion
ship. s'
BY the faculty, forsit is feared that uni
pleasant comment will be- provoked by
!, it, and that possibly legislators coming
to Madison next month for the biennial
session of law manufacture, may find
in the encouragement of fighting an ex-
cuse for reducing or defeating the fat
appropriations which the uni ersity sau-
thorities hope to- get sthru. Already
some adverse criticism has been heard,
usually taking the form of a remon-
STRANGE that the Wisconsin faculty
should 'sdenaturize football and then
turn around and lend encouragement to
pugihsm. 81. s s.
