OPPOSES
Veterans Protest Against Histories
Used in Schools.

Jackson.-A special meeting Of X.
A Smith Camp, United Confederate
Veterans, was held TO reconsider a GER
tain resolution passed by the camp a.
a meeting held January 2 last. That
resolution. in rather emphatic terms,
censured the state department of edu-
cation and the Mississippi text book
commission on the adoption of q his
tory work which carries in its contents
matter held to be hostile TO Southern
chivalry and especially the cause of
the Confederacy. 1t came to the knowl-
edge of members of the camp that the
resolution was inspired by political
aGimus, and so had gotten on to the
records of the camp unwittingly. The
resolution explains itself:
Whereas, our camp at a regular
meeting Monday, January =, 1911, pass
ed resolutions condemning one Of the
state Ofticers-to-wit, the superintend
ent of education Of the state and the
text book commission of the state; and
Whereas, we are in no way allowed
to discuss political questions in our
camp, and feeling that the parties were
deserving of nc cenSure and that a
request to remove all Objectionable
features will be made, and which We
are assured will be done; therefore
be It
Resolved, That the resolutions re-
ferred to as passed on Monday, Jan
uary ,. by this camp, De expunged
from the minutes of our meeting, and
our camp asks that other camps
throughout the state note this action"
The members of Camp R. A. Smith
are hopeful that his resembling resolu-
ton will receive as much attention
and as wide publicity as the former
critical and censoriOus resolution,
which it is sought to kill, practically
and in effect, as the ~concensus of
opinion Of all members, of what is
probably the largest camp in the di-
vision.

l turned to Elizabeth and held out
the message from my chief. She
looked at it. Her eyes widened.
"Nicholas!" she exclaimed.
Elizabeth" said l, turning to her
swiftly, 81 will agree to nothing which
will send me way from you again.

would have spoken. GO home with
your Aunt Betty as soon as you can.

pered.
How can I tell? When I go, my
wife shall wait there at Elmhurst, in
stead of my sweetheart"
She turned away from me, contem-
plative. She, too, was young. Ardor
appealed to her. Life stood before
her, reckoning, as to me What could
the girl do or say?
l placed her hand on my arm. We
started toward the door, intending to
pick up Aunt Jennings on our way.
AS we advanced, a group before us
broke apart. l stood aside to make
way for a gentleman whom 1 did not
recognize. On his arm there leaned
a woman, a beautiful woman, clad in
a costume of ~f1ounced and ripping vel
vet of royal blue which made her the
most CfriEinO fC1IrO in tho Or0of rO0n1
Hers was a personality not easily to
be overlooked in any company, her
face one not readily to be eQualled.
It was the Baroness Helena Won Ritz.
We met face to face. l presume it
would have been too much to ask even
of her TO suppress the sudden flash of
recognition which she showed. At first
she did not see that 1 was accom-
panied. She bent to me, as though
to adjust her gown, and, without a
change in the expression of her face,
spoke to me in an undertone no one
else could near.
Watt" she murmured. There is
to be a meeting" She had time for
no more as she swept by.
Alas, tina mere moments should
spell ruin as well as happiness! This
new woman whom l had wOoed and
found, this new Elizabeth whose hand
lay on my arm, saw what no one else
would have seen-that little flash of
recognition on the face of Helena O
Ritz! She heard a whisper pass.
Moreover, with a woman's uncanny
facility IN detail, she took in every
item of b others costume. For my
self, l could see nothing Of that cos
tune now save one object-a barbaric
brooch of double shells and beaded
fa~stenings, which Glasped the light
laces at her throat. \
The baroness had perhaps slept as
little az l the night before. If 1
showed the ravages of loss of sleep
no more than she. l was fortunate.
She was radiant, as she passed for
ward with her escort for place in the
line which had not yet dwindled aw ay.
