SOUTHERN VETERANS
DECLINE INVITATION
Declare They Cannot Cele-

GpttNSburg.

Macon Ga. May S-The committee
ON rssoIItfOns of the United Confederate
veterans in a report to the confederate
reunion here today advise the organiza-
ton to decline the invitation Of the
Cra0d ARMY OF the Republic for the
veterans of the south to participate in
the semicentennial celebration of the
battle of Gettysburg. in July. 1913.
The committee holds that the accep-
tance of the invitation would be in
violation of the constitution Of the
United Confederate veterans, that it
would be Improper for the sOutherns to
celebrate a battle that contributed to
their defeat.
