KICK ON DAVIS STATUE
G. A. r. CAMP WOULD NOT ALLOW
IT IN "HALL OF FAME.
Statue of Robert E. Lee Is Included.
Insult to North and Every Wearer
of the Blue, Reads Petition.

Washington.-The possibility of the
arrival of a statue of the late presi-
dent of the Confederacy, Jefferson Da-
Wis, in Washington as the contribution
of Mississippi to statuary hall, has
aroused the ire of William H. Gibson
Post No. 81, G. A. r., at Tiffin, Ohio,
Friday. Senator Burton of Ohio pre-,
scented a potion from that organization
protesting not only against the pres,
ence of a statue of Jefferson Davis at
the national capitol, but against the
acceptance of the Robert E. Lee stat
ute as well.
The resolution adopted by the Tiffn,
O., post recites that:
"A certain state senator Of Miss
sippi has introduced a resolution serv'
ing notice that Mississippi is going to
offer to place in the Hall of Fame at
Washington a bronze statue of Jeffer
son Davis, late president Of the Con
federacy."
The petition further declares" When
the so-cailed Daughters Of the South
ern C~onfederacy erected a monument
bearing false inscriptions in honor OF
that most detestable creature, Capt
Wirz, of Andersonville fame, and
placed the name Of Jefferson Davis or
the silver service of a United States
battleship, and when they now pro
pose to place statues named in the
capitol, cannot but be regarded by us
as a direct insult to the patriotic and
magnanimous heart of the North and
to every man who wore the blue"

Rear Admiral Bacon of the British
navy advocates the construction Of
larger battleships because in his
opinion, with proper subdivision of the
hull, they are not as likely to be sunk
as a result of torpedo attack as the
smaller ship. There is something in
this, as the weight Of armament car
ried by a large ship Is not proper
tionately as large as that on the
smaller ship. But it must not be over
looked that the torpedo is becoming
more powerful under the develop Of
inventors, and the damage they in
flict may be beyond the ability of even
the best of compartmented hulls to
withstand.

Memorial Day Not Mourning.

Mount Vernon, N. Y.-Because they
say the day is being made one OF re-
joicing instead of mourning for the
dead. the thirty-two veterans of Elan
deau post, G. A. r., of New Rochelle
have decided for the first time since
the establishment of Memorial Day
not to join in the public parade this
wear. George T. Davis, commander OF
the post, said the army would hold the
customary service for the dead and
decorate the graves as usual, but that
the ceremony would be private.
