MRS. ia. LOGAN TALKS
At VETERANS REUNION
Delivers Address at Meeting of Army
of the Tennessee Survivors.
Memorials Read.

| That demand for adequate prepar-
edness for war is a concomitant of true
American patriotism was the opinion
voiced by Mrs. John A. Logan, widow
of the famous leader of the civil war
F; in an address delivered by her yester-
day at a reunion of the Army of the
Tennessee held in the campfire hall at
Camp Emery. Gen. Logan commanded
this army.
God forbid that we should ever have
another war" declared Mrs. Logan,
but there is the possibility always
present, and we ought to be alive and
prepared. The civil war should have
taught us the lesson of preparedness.
At the beginning of the conflict the
south had the upper hand. and it was
all because the south was prepared,
whereas the north was not. This ma
ton should not clamor for peace at any
price. 1t should preserve its place OF
dignity at the head of the nations OF
the world.

ST. LOUIS. October 1.-Senator Will

Syndicate to Pocket Profits.
This apprehension is increased by what
I read in today's papers. 1t is now given
out that the members of the syndicate
in control Of this enterprise. organised by
J. Pierpont Morgan, do not propose to
furnish the funds to be loaned out Of
their own exchequers. but that their
scheme is to take the foreign securities,
underwriting them, presume, at Sc cents
and then sell them to the public at 90
cents, pocketing the profits as commits
sions. ] am not at this moment 30 much
concerned about the possible profits to
the insiders of this, transaction as am
with respect to its possible ultimate
moral effects on the neutrality sentiment
of our people. If hundreds Of millions
of these securities are to be sold to and
distributed among all classes of our peo-
pie, there will be thousands who will
suddenly have new and vital interest
in the success of the powers whose obi
cations they hold.

ONE SONG IS CLASSED
ASSLUR ON SOLDIER
Col. Andrew Cowan Deprecates Use
of Ballad in the Public
Schools.

Declaring that the song, Il Didn't
Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier is a re-
Election upon American manhood. and
casts an undeserved slur upon the men,
DRY of brave soldiers who fought to
make the nation what it is. Col. Andrew
Cowan, president of the Society of the
Army of the Potomac, aroused to a
pitch of high enthusiasm survivors of
the 9Th Army Corps who attended the
campfire of this veteran organization
in Camp Emery last night.
Col. Cowan stated that the singing
of this song in the public schools was a
disgrace to American citizenship. He
spoke of the Importance Of the nation
being prepared at all times to defend
itself against a foreign foe, and the APP
plause which greeted his utterance on
this subject left no room for doubt that
the old warriors of the 9Th Corps are
strong advocates of national prepared
ness.
Other Speakers Heard.
In addition to Col. Cowan, who re-
lated some civil war experiences and
told Of having seen President Lincoln
once in public in linen duster. others
who spoke at the campfire were Gen.
j. Warren Keifer, former member of
Congress from Ohio; DIR. Charles "
Petteys, president of the Associated
Survivors of the 9Th Corps. and John
NJ Kline, chairman of the reunion COM
mittee.
Gen. keifer related some humorous
incidents of the war. and the remarks
of DR.. Petteys and Mr.. Kline also were
along the line of "reminiscences. Gen.
John p. King, past commander in chief
Of the G. A. p, had expected to address
the gathering. but was prevented from
attending.
The program included several musical
numbers. among them the singing of a
patriotic song by Z. Alfred Lang Of
Gushing Camp. Sons of Veterans. Mrs
Rosa V. Smith, the Daughter of the
6th Corps" was presented to the camp.
The meeting closed with the singing
by the veterans of AUD Lang Syne."

the wrestler, noticed him and thought
he saw white hope possibilities IN the

As soon as Jess showed signs Of
becoming prominent he was coaxed
away from Cutler. who sued him and
received a judgment for 5000 for
money actually disbursed. This judg-

this day.
