President Tells Vast Audi

Memories Of War and
Turn to the Future.

Following is the address Of Presi-
dent Wilson in accepting the Confed-
crate Monument at Arlington Ceme-
terry yesterday:
assure you that I am profoundly
aware of the solemn significance Of
the thing that has now taken place.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
have presented a memorial Of their
dead to the government of the United
States. / hope that you have noted
the history Of the conception of this
idea- 1t was proposed bya President
OF the United States. who had him
self been a distinguished officer in the
Union army. 1t was authorized by
an act Of Congress Of the United
States.
The cornerstone Of the monument
was laid by a President of the United
States, elevated to his position by the
votes of the party which had chiefly
prided itself upon sustaining the war
for the Union. And, now, 1t has
fallen to my lot to accept in the name
of the great government, which / am
privileged for the time to represent,
this emblem Of a reunited people.

Mrs. imbrough is working for the
Gettysburg peace monument, which the
women OF the North and South are PLAN

the Root-Williams bill. This monument
is to be a national memorial to the loyal

the South.
With reference to this proposed peace
monument Mrs. Kimbrough said yester-
day: III the noble old men who passed
through the horrors Of that bloody war
are willing to lay aside the memories OF
the past. surely the women OF the two
sections should not withhold their aid
in the gentle task Of healing the wounds
Of our country. II the time has come
for this united action. would It not be ap-

Commander Washington Gardner, Of
the @. A. R., was the next speaker. He
said in part:
1T seems fitting that here in this
place and on these grounds, once the
home of Robert E. Lee, there should rest
the remains of some Of the gallant men
who followed that great soldier even into
death. It is fitting. here in the sight of
the Nations Capital, and in this vast
burial plot consecrated to American
valor that some of our fellow-country
men, the representatives Of once hostile
armies whose unsurpassed bravery is now
a common heritage and pride. should
rest in undisturbed slumber. and that the
place of final sepulchure should be under
the supervision and care Of the national
government

spirit Of heroic devotion and lofty self

There is room in the hearts Of the
people Of all the land for cherished recol-

I'm the perspective Of the receding
years, the war looms in increasing pro-
portions along the national horizon. Its
great and beneficent results now every
where recognized are gradually settling
into the abiding convictions Of all intel
ligent men,. For full eighty years the
system Of government founded by our
fathers was regarded by many as an ex-
pertinent. Doubling patriots at home
and unfriendly critics abroad foretold
the coming certain dissolution Of the
Union. With much show OF reason they
declared our government rested upon
an insecure foundation. The recognized
fundamental weakness was constant
menace to the permanency OF the super
structure. Prior to the war, the exist |
ence of this weakness had with porten- |
tous threatenings repeatedly manifested |
itself both In the North and the South. |

 Members of the gang of second sto- ry men. who have been successfully working Bridgeport for months past, are specialists in el1nd1ng detec- tion through the use of the most mod ern methods known to the criminal world. Headquarters detectives. through information coming to them within the past few days, have learn. ed that not only are gloves worn to prevent Identification by finger prints, but that other means Of disguise are made use of. Quick change of clofh- dng, the extra suit being either worn or carried with the equipment of the gang. is said to be one important method in baff1ing detection.
 ! Suspicious characters noted near places where t.jobs'' have been pulled off have been reported as carrying an extra. pair of trousers and coat. In other instances it has been reported that evidence has been gained that suspicious characters wear a. double suit. If the person is brought in by policemen, those called upon to iden- tify him find that he is dressed en- tireIy different from the one they saw.
 Search is still being kept up for two mysterious girls suspected of being responsible for nIl1nerous petty lar ceny "jobs'' Two were caught a. week ago who admitted a. number of breaks. Indications are that there are several others involved in local roDberies.
