Gen. STEPHEN D. Lee. commanding
officer of tho United Confederate
Veterans. has issued an order de-
clning TO appoint any sponsors and
maids OF honor for the reunion at
Richmond beginning May 80. He
notified those camps which do make
such appointments that they must
provide for the cost of travel and en-
tertainment. He remarks that
while the presence of young lai-g
sponsors and maids of honor at re-

! women's services to the cause. yet it
has liad the effect of forcing the
Confederate Veterans into second
place and that the whole subject
should receive careful consideration
at the next reunion.
