SAVANNAH, GA. November TO-
Southern women should recognize and
more fully accept tho part they may
play In cradicating any lingering ami
mosities between the North and the
South, declared Mrs. Josephus Dan
icls. wife OF the Secretary of tho Navy.
~ an address at the opening session
here Tonight OF the annual convention
OF the United Daughters of the Con
fcdcracy. Mrs. Daniels is here as a
delegate from North Carolina, and
spoke In response to an address OF well
come.
Let those of US who know OF tile
travail or the sixties keep alivo the
glory Of sacrifice, and the vaior OF the
vanquished to tho last day of our
lives" said Mrs. Daniels. But let
us not look mournfully upon the past
! but ask ourselves the question:: How
can f""thern women OF the twentieth
contu- prove worthy of their lineage,
and transmit to their children the
Traces and virtues which were incar-
rated In the Southern women Of the
var and reconstruction periods?
First OF all we must know that
love Is greater than all beside: Our
children must be taught 10 love the
nag OF their country, and sons and
daughters alike given to sec tho pa
trlotism of those who wcro the blue
as well as of those who wore tlrc gray
II was said that Henry Grady died
iocins the country into peace This.
first duty of tho daughters Is to love
all men. and illustrate the best tradi-
tons OF tho South by permitting no
mead or bitterness to mar or narrow
our own lives or tho lives of our
children.
URGES PRESERVATION OF
NOME-LIFE HISTORY
Second, to preserve the history---thc
homc-lifc history--of tho South during
the War Between the States. Southern
histories I'm plenty tell of the glorious
conflicts on land and sea. But there
is q history o: those days not yet fully
written. There is untouched a history
OF heroines. There was stimulus to
men who went to death marching to
martial music under Inspiring banners,
checred by their comrades. Women
poured out their lives in apprehension
and labor and sacrifice and unuttera BILE
loneliness. Many stories OF their deeds
have been written, but more have been
buried In the hearts of heroines who
never expected honor or fame or aught
save the privilege OF nursing their
loved ones. But their daughters owe
1t TO coming generations to illuminate
tho pages OF literature by collecting
and printing in permanent form these
deeds.
The third duty OF The Daughters
OF tho Confederacy is to keep fresh
the memory or the brave men who
wore the gray. Let them be cheered
now that the snow that never melts
has fallen on their heads, by the knowl-
edge that sons and grandsons hold tn EN-
IN honor and point to their service as
illustrative Of the noblest knights OF
The race.
Mrs. Daniels paid tribute to Mrs.
Woodrow, Wilson as the BEST type OF
Southern womanhood."
when the whole nation mourned her
untimc!y DEATH" she said, there was
II solemn pride that the home OF her
youth was selected for the last rcposc.
lier memory will live, but IL will be
our privilege as We decorate the graves
of Southern heroes to ever keep green
her last resting place and emulate her
virtues. her graciousness and her prac-
IDEAL helpfulncss."
