MOntpelIer

The 43d Annual Encampment of the
vened in the Armory at Montpelier June
16 with 174 delegates present. Com
mander Franklin in his report called at
tention to the reduction of membership
in number of small Posts, and urged
them to affiliate with the nearest Post
and thus keep in touch of elbows. Adjt.-
Gen. w. H. Miles in his report showed
a present membership of 2,466 in 80
Posts. There had been 1913 deaths and
net loss in membership of 146. Senior
Vice Commander E. N. Peck protested
in his report against the placing of
statues in Washington of men who had
borne arms against the country, and
Col. q. NJ. Mansur offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted with
cheers:
whereas the State of Virginia has
placed in the Statuary Hall of the Capt.
tol at Washington, D. c., bronze statue
of Gen. Robert E. Lee in the uniform
of a General of the Confederate army,
therefore be it
, Resolved, That the members of the
Department of Vermont, Grand Army
of the Republic, assembled at their
43d Encampment, held at Montpelier
June 1917, 1910, deeply regret this
action on the part of the State of Vir-
ginia. While they would be glad to
see a statue of Robert E. Lee as a
citizen of the United States of America
or in the uniform of his rank while
serving his country as an officer of the
United States Army, they deplore the
placing of his statue in this noted place
in the uniform of a General command
ing forces that were in opposition to
these United States
Resolved, That the Vermont delega-
ton in Congress be requested to use
their best endeavors to have the pres
ent statue removed"

assigned to the I'd Mass. Cav, under
Col. Lowell, who, as a Brigadier-Gen-

scarcely necessary. She was Depart

three times been Department Counsellor
and twice Department Secretary, and

a succession of official positions in
the local Corps. She has served as
National Senior Vice President and
twice as National Chief of Staff, and
might almost be said to occupy the po-
sition of premier singer of the Ma
tional Organization, as it falls to her
to lend the charm of her voice to al
most every National function where
singing is introduced.
Mrs. Harris is the wife of Past Com
mander Charles Harris, who served in
Co. F, 21st Iowa Mrs. Harris has been
twice before indorsed by the Grand
Army and the Woman's Relief Corps,
and when her name was presented she
withdrew in favor of the other candi-
date; and Kansas thinks that she has
the right of cordial support this time.
Mrs. Harris is indorsed for this high
office by every Past Department Presi-
dent of Kansas now living, as follows:
Julia A. Chase, Ida w. Moore, Annie
A. Apple, Marian S. Nation, Emma A.

lows: Cora NJ. Deputy, member National

ricks, Junior Vice President; Florence

Carrying the Confederate Flag.

A resolution was introduced in
Hutchinson, Kan, G. A. r. meeting by
Col e. c. Manning, requesting Con-
gress to prohibit the carrying of the
Confederate flag. Col. Manning re-
ceived very insulting letter from
man in Oklahoma, saying that there
was not man in Kansas old enough
to impose on this Government who has
not tried to or is not drawing a pen
sion. The war was grand thing for
bunch of old drones who are now
living on their pensions. The letter
which Col. Manning wrote in reply was
q scorcher, and he told the writer that
he probably had little claim to speak on
the subject, as ne probably did not risk
himself in the Confederate army. Col
Manning went on to say that he, Man
ming, Is the editor of Republican pa
per in Kansas that opposed the dis
franchisement of the Confederate SOL
diers; that he had many warm friends
in the South; that he was a charter
member of Blue and Gray Associa-
tion, and that when he was in charge
of the location and construction of a
railroad he gave employment in promi-
nent places to men who had served in
the Confederate army. His resolution,
therefore, had no bitterness toward the
Southern people, but was directed by
motives Of public policy.
