LETTERS TO EDITOR
Memorial Day

To the Editor of The Age Herald: II does not seem to be generally known that at the reunion of United Confed- crate Veterans held in New Orleans few years ago Memorial Day for decorat- ing Confederate graves was changed from April 26 to May 10. This was done by resolution adopted by the veterans association and among other reasons given was the fact that in some locali- ties flowers are scarce and difficult to obtain April 26, but are in full bloom May 10.
 The veterans from Georgia claimed that the beautiful custom of decorating the graves of the heroes who gave their lives in defense of the cause of the south, orig mated with the ladies of that state, and that they also designated the date for it's observance. and by special request of the veterans Georgia was permitted to re- tain April 26 as Memorial Day.
 This latter date is almost universally observed and the date fixed by the United Veterans association, officially, is ignored. Perhaps 1t is best to continue to observe April 2G, as this date was the first se- leeted, was observed for many years be- fore the attempted change, and the day selected by the ladies of the south, God bless 'en.

AMERICANS ARE
 WELL PROTECTED Ambassador Wilson Writes to Texas Congressman REBELS ADVANCING
Orozco Expects to Be Within Strik- ing Distance of Federals Within Three or Four Days-Will
 Protect Chihuahua

Washington. April so.-"The Mex .can governments good disposition is not to be doubted" wrote Henry L. Wilson, ambassador to Mexico. in let ter addressed to Representative Slayden of Texas on April A, and made public today. The letter says in part:
 Referring to the published state- ment that American citizens in Mex leo were not receiving adequate pro- lection and that many of them were seeking safety under the British and other foreign flags, I can authorize you to say that this story and all oth- CTS which reflect upon the diligence, activity and firmness of our diplomatic and consular establishments in Mexico has not the slightest foundation in fact and are, In all probability, ma . licious inventions.
 The inability of the Mexican gov ernmcnt to render at the present mo- ment, in all cases where demands are made, effective and prompt protection, is on account of the enormous expanse of the national territories, the sparse population and the organized and un- organized spirit of revolution, which prevails over considerable part of the republic, not to be implicitly relied upon.
 ''I do not hesitate to say that Amer jeans are receiving better protection in Mexico today than any other class of foreigners"

Rebel Advance Begins

At Rebel Front, Escalon, Mex, April 20.--The southern advance by the rebel army is now we'll under way and in- dications are that within three or four days Orozcos forces will be within striking distance of the federals in the neighborhood of Torreon. Scouts report that Huertas men appear to be pre- pairing only for defense, although the possibility of a conflict with gov ernment force on the road remains.
 Not only has the advance from the north begun, but 1t is said that Tor reon is being menaced from the south and west by 300 rebels from the Laguna district. Rebel leaders believe the ca pltulation of Torreon and it's occupa- tion by the liberal forces is but a fnatter of days They hope to destroy utterly the federal army under General Huerta The entire rebel force Is well supplied with ammunition and has ample food and forage for men and horses.
 Acting on adyices that a column of some 200 federals was moving toward the state of Chihuahua from sonora Dy way of Sahuaripa orders were is sued today for the dispatch of column of similar strength to meet the rehel forces The men will be taken from the garrison at Casas Grandes. There is q disposition to regard the report of the federal advance from that quarter as baseless.

HOME RULE BILLS | ON SECOND READING Winston Churchill Opens
 Debate in Very Quiet
 Manner

London, April So.-The second reading stage of the home rule bill was opened in the house of commons today in rather quiet fashion by Winston Spencer Churchill. first lord of the admiralty, who applied himself not to an exposition of the bill but to an argument on general principles and to an appeal to the oppo- sition to realize the manifest change in conditions during the quarter of a cen tury since Gladstones time. He pointed out that Ireland now is peaceful and loyal and no longer demands the divorce of the two kingdoms, but is ready to well come moderate and reasonable bill.
 Mir. Churchill made a great point that the unionists, while taunting the national ists with accepting miserable and made quate measure, were with the same brea tn denouncing the bill as an extreme and dangerous measue which would leave Ireland free to make an alliance with Germany.

STATE POSSESSES
 RARE OLD RELIC Indian Burial Urn Added to State Department of
 Archives and History

Montgomery, April 0.-(Special)-A rare old relic of intrinsic historical value has just been added to the state department of archives and history The new acqui- sition is an old Indian burial urn. used by one of the early Choctaw or Albamon tribes supposed to have lived in Lowndes county and in the neighboring section of the state
 The burial urn is considered a valu- able addition to the department. owing to the fact that the urn is regarded as one of the largest that has ever been dis covered, and is probably the only one in Alabama. The custom of burying the dead by placing the body or skeleton of the body in an urn, was practiced in this country in prehistoric times, ac- cording to anthropoogists, as history does not tell of the practice by any of the tribes that inhabited this country at the time the Europeans settled in Amer ica. According to scientists and anthro- pologists the discovery that the early Indian tribes buried their dead Tn urns was not made until several burial urns had been found. containing the skele- tons and bones of prehistoric tribal rep resentatives.
 The urn Is about b inches high and measures 131a inches across the top. the largest part being about IS inches in diameter top was discovered with the urn, about six inches in height.
 According to P. A. Brannon of the state department of archives and history. who discovered the urn, the relic is pos- sibly the largest of it's kind that has ever been found, and is probably the only burial urn in this state.
 Another interesting addition to the state museum is a flat head skull, which Mir. Brannon also found in Iowndes county, at the Junction of Pintala creek and the Alabama river. on the site of a prehis- toric town. The practice of fattening the skull was employed by the early Choc taw tribes This is also considered a valuable acquisition and is highly prized by members of the historical department.

TODAY BRINGS CRISIS
 IN UNDERWOOD'S LIFE

Georgia is aroused over the situation. Tsis afternoon everyone is on the qu vive, There are thousands who are trustful that Georgia will stand by Alabama. And there are thousands who are hopeful that Georgia will remain in the grasp of Hoke Smith.
 In addition to those who will vote for Underwood because he is southerner and because of their belief that the time is ripe for the south to demand of that democracy, the backbone of which she is. equal recognition with that accorded oth- CT sections of the nation. there are thou sands who will support Underwood be- cause he is the man of the hour, the embodiment of the tariff issue on which the party lines will be formed, and be- cause of all the candidates mentioned, he is most likely to achieve success
 Tomorrow brings a crisis in the political life of Oscar w. Underwood. If he car ries Georgia. he will probably be nomin- ated in Baltimore June 9.

SUGGEST INCREASE
 OF TARIFF ON AUTOS

Berlin, April 3o.-A number of the most prominent German automobile construs- tors have suggested to the government that it should increase the German tariff on motor cars.

GRANDFATHER LAWS
 ARE TO BE ATTACKED

Chicago April 30.-"Grandfather laws of southern states which are declared to disfranchse thousands of negroes were condemned by the delegates to the fourth annual conference of the National Asso- citation for the Advancement of Colored People today. A resolution suggesting that these laws be attacked in the United States supreme court was adopted. The resolution was framed by Charles Edward Russell of New York city, who said:
 Tn the judgment of every good lawyer. the restriction that place the right to the ballot on the exercise of the franchise before 1865 by an ancestor are null and void. The so-called grandfather laws are travesty on justice.
