NUAL U. c. v. REUNION

! Jacksonville, Fla, March =
The tWenty-fOurth annual reunion
OF the United Confederate Veteras,
Sons of Confederate Veterans. and
| all allied organizations, will be
held in Jacksonville, Fla, May 6,

public-spirited citizens of Jackson
vile are making preparations to re-
ceive and entertain the veterans and
all visitors at the reunion. 1t is
Jacksonville's ambition to break all

ance and entertainment, and to this
|end every energy Of this thriving,
modern city will be directed. Jack

their stay in the Gateway City of
Florida. Hotels, boaryaing houses
and private homes will be open to
The reunion delegates and visitors.
All wnC ccEe will be cared for.
,Jacksonville's preparedness and cor
diality will be all that the veterans
and their friends could desire. Her
people will meet them at the depot,
extend them the hand of welcome,
show them to their temporary
homes and look after their comfort
and pleasure while guests of the

thousands of visitors who will at
tend this reunion.
During the Confederate reunion
steamboat excursion will carry
veterans and visitors to these points
of historic interest on the beautiful
St Johns river, which bounds the
city of jacksonville on the south.
A boat ride on this river is worth
coming miles to enjoy. In many
respects it is thy most wonderful
body of water in America. 1t is a
river of sensations, fed by never
failing springs. At points above
Jacksonville it reaches width of
five or six miles, and it is doubtful
if at any point between Jackson
vile and Palatka it is less than
mile wide. The Indians called 1t
Welaka, meaning, in their tongue.

navigable for about 200 miles, and
palatial steamers make regular trips
from Jacksonville to the head of
navigation. The largest ocean-going
vessels come to Jacksonville with
passengers and freight from all
parts of the world The traffic that
this river brings to Jacksonville is
an important factor In its business.
and the river itself is a wonderful
and delightful revelation to the
tourist.
A visit to the seashore will be
another delightful trip for visitors
during the reunion. A spendid au-
toway has been built by Duval coun-
ty to Atlantic Beach, distance OF
some twenty miles from Jackson
Vile. This is one of the finest
ocean beaches on the South Allan
tic coast Indeed. it is pronounced
by many tourists as the finest beach
on the coast Surf bathing, fishing

tions delight the visitors.

German protected cruiser Koenigsber,
had been driven into port in Ruff
Island off German East Africa. Tn,
British cruiser Chatham ran down the
Koenigsberg, and the Admiralty de-
clared the German vessel had probably
been driven aground.
II is believed that the loss Of life on
board the Emden must have been heavy.
She carried a crew Of gar men. In the
destruction. Of the German cruiser the
sinking Of the Russian cruiser Jemtchug
and the French destroyer Mousquet has
been avenged.
The Emdens career has been the
most picturesque in the Kaisers
navy. Commanded by Captain Karl
Won Muller she has swept the Pa
cihc, capturing or sinking more than
a score of merchant vessels of the
allied nations and brought her raids
to a climax by boldly entering PEN

allied warships.
