ing song went on to the very end.
The meeting took the form of a Sons

younger generation. At the close of the

Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washing
ton. son of a veteran. told of the
great work the veterans had done, not
only in war, but in peace, when they
went to the wilds of the far west and
speedily converted them into states.
He said that some men had much to
say about their genealogy, but he did
not care to trace hts family line far
ther back than to one who had honor
ably worn the blue in the great strug-
gle for the nations existence.
Rev. Paul r. Hickok, a son OF vet
eran, spoke briefly of the order of Sons
of Veterans, and the pride that they
had in the services and sacrifices of
their forepears. They are, he declared,
devoting themselves now to carrying
on this patriotic work and preserving
the results of the great contest.

MANY SENATORS TO SPEND
CHRISTMAS IN CAPITAL
Those From Far Away States De-
eide Not to Make the
Trip Home.

A large number of the members of
the Senate will spend their Christmas
holidays in Washington. With only
five days before Congress resumes its
labors, senators from distant states
have decided not to attempt to go to
their homes for Christmas.
The Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
are s..in Arizona, at the home of Mrs
Marshalrs father, for Christmas. Sem
ator Kern. democratic leader of the
Senate, decided that Indiana was too
far away for such a hurried trip as he
would have had to make to spend
Christmas there, so he will eat his
Christmas dinner here at the home OF
Senator OGorman of New York.
Senator Cummins of Iowa, however,
has gone back to his own state for the
holidays. His colleague. Senator Ken
yon. and Mrs. Kenyon will spend
Christmas at Havana, Cuba.

intended to complete the defeat of the
enemy. but did not pay sufficient re-
gard to the difficulties. Bad weather
made the conditions of the few roads
which lead across the barren country
worse, SO that it was impossible to sup
ply the army with the necessary pro-
visions and ammunition. At the same
time that the enemy collected fresh
forces and opened an attack the Of
fensive had been given up.
1T was thought prudent not to offer
decisive battle under these unfavor-
able circumstances. Forced by adverse
conditions. our troops retreated from
Servia, but they are not defeated. That
on our retreat we suffered severe loss
es in men and war material had been
inevitable but reports are much eXag-
gerated concerning our losses"
The report concludes with the state
ment that the emperor consented to the
discharge of the commander in chief
the resignation being demanded on the
grounds that the commanders health
was poor, and appointed to this post
