Amendment to Constitution Adopted

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ATLANTA, Ga, November 14.-After
bitter debate. which at times became al
most disorderly, the national convention
of the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, in session here, voted this after
noon to admit northern women to mem
bership in the order. So excited did the
daughters become in the discussion that a
chairman was named in each delegation
TO keep order. Even this step was not
effective.
The storm hinged on the proposition as
tn whether northern women, who are the
wives OF Confederate veterans or their
lineal descendants, and who desire to be
admitted to the l.. d. c. organization and
10 work in harmony with its aims, should
be admitted to the organization.
Mrs. James Henry Parker, president OF
ond to the largest IN existence, fought fol
the amendment. Mrs. Parker made an
impassioned plea for the admission to the
United Daughters of the Confederacy Of
all northern women who are wives OF
Confederates or of their descendants
This matter is of little import to south.
ern chapters, but it means the very life
of the border chapters. Upon it the life
of the New York chapter depends" said
Mrs. Parker.
Many bitter speeches were made in Cd.
position, amid much disorder, but when q
vote was taken the amendment to admi,
northern women was carried Only the
delegations from Florida, Louisiana, New
Mexico. North Carolina. Tennessee, Utah
and Alabama cast a solid vote against
the proposition.

charging that these conditions were due
to the premeditati of the English COM
manders-in-chief or to the set purposes
of any one in authority having to do with
the fate of the unfortunate men whose
bravery and sef-sacrfice this monument
records. Such charge would make the
British commanders human monsters.
THE conditions were the result of neg
lect, not design. The lot of a prisoner
of war at all times and under all circum-
stances is always of constant and in
evitable hardship.
I'm the middle ages and, indeed, down
to the advent of Napoleon. death was
perhaps the least of the horrors which
were associated with the status of pris-
oners of war. In relatively recent times
the lot of the prisoner of war has been
made the subject of amelioration.
1T must be a source of qualification
to all of us to learn the provisions of The
Hague convention with reference to the
rights of prisoners OF war; as they are
now understood by all the signatory pow
ers to that convention. and to see that it
is the duty of the capturing forces to
make as ample provision for the pris-
onere - wa~ ae f"~ their own men.
"a little more emphatic evidence of the
pros thai As L a e and an earnest Of
what we may expect hereafteC, is to be
found in the treatment of prisoners Of
war in the late Russian-Japanese con-
fict. when both parties exceeded in the
tenderness and the care which they gave
to the prisoners of the other the require
ments Of The Hague convention.
This great memorial which we dedicate
today the conditions of things which it
records and their contrast with present
conditions properly call to mind the hui
name advance which has been made even
in so cruel thing as war.
Washington Had to Choose.
'"The British say. is true, that the
British authorities offered to exchange
the prisoners detained in the prison hulks
for British soldiers held by the American
forces in American prisons. and that this
offer was declined by Washington. 1t is

for whom we can do a favor. or whose interests we may advance, life is indeed worth living"
 Friend, when you find yourself depressed and inclined to think that life holds nothing for you, look around you (not very far away) and do the very best fav- or for another that comes to your hand. It may be a very small one, but do it, and keep on day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, working for others. for this alone makes life worth liv- ing.

THE MASTER KEY THAT UNl0CkS.

The door that leads to success is business education. Success is achieved by the one who sees clearly the goal of his object and goes straight to it. Ability has never yet lacked opportunity, neither has it remained undiscov- cred. A great many business men are anxious to secure the services of a good book-keeper, stehographer, or a general office assistant. To meet the busi- ness mans requirements, the ap- plicant must be thorough and practical. To this end and aim we put forward our best efforts and because of our good teach ing and superior methods we give our students a better training in three or four months than they can get at other schools in five and six months. Bear in mind, it is only few steps from Hills Business College to a good pay ing position. Everything is high grade and right up to date. With us you learn bookkeeping by keeping books. Our system of shorthand is the best and the shortest in the country. It Is simplified, and easy to learn. easy to read and write and is practi- cal. Big summer reduction. Our $1OO combined scholarships are now $6O; $75 scholarships are now $50; $50 scholarships are now $25, 35 and $40; telegraphy $25; mail course in shorthand $2O or $5 for five lessons.
