the German foreign minister, express
ed the opinion that the American peo-
pie ought to be reasonable in regard

The foreign minister said America

equitable understanding might be

DIR. won Jagow says it is matter

them to give UP any means at their
disposal to fight the enemy.

Richmond, Va, June 1.-Fol more
than one reason the twenty-fifth an
nual reunion of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, which begins here today
| and continues June and 3, gives
promise of being the greatest gather
ing of Confederates since the war.
Coming just fifty years after the close
of the great struggle, the 1915 reunion
in the old capital Of the Confederacy
has proven a great attraction.
Perhaps the leading feature of the
reunion will be the great military pa
rade and spectacle which is scheduled
for the morning of June 3, in which
not only the Confederate veterans but
crack military commands from the
north and south will participate. Ten
thousand Confederates, more than 5000
Virginia militiamen, "The Old Guard"
of New York, the governors foot
guards of Connecticut. fifteen military
bands. and many military organiza-
tions from the southern states will be
in line.
Not the least unique and interesting
feature of the reunion viii be the
formal opening Of the Confederate
Memorial institute, or Battle Abbey
as it is popularly known. This impos-
ing temple of granite. of classic lines
and impressive simplicity, has been
erected as treasure house of Confed-
crate relics. After years of patient
effort. the building has finally been
constructed, and its formal opening
will be great event in the Confeder-
ate organization.
Invitations have been issued to the
governors of fifteen southern states
| and 10 President Woodrow Wilson and
other notables. Many have accepted
and the president holds his reply in
reservation. The wives and families
OF the great leaders of the southern
armies have also accepted invitations
to attend the 1915 reunion.
A thrill is promised by the commit
tee in charge of the reunion when the
Battle of the Crater is reproduced
in fireworks the night of June 2, al
"Camp Stuart" Trenches will be con
structed, dummy figures used, and al
least two companies of soldiers EN-
ployed in staging the spectacle.
On the morning Of Thursday. June
s., the cornerstone of the imposing
| monument to Stonewall Jackson
which is to be erected at Monument
avenue and the boulevard. will be laid
Simple ceremonies are to mark this
event.
Unusual interest in the business ses
sions of the reunion is attached by
reason of the fact that the Confeder
ates are to decide definitely at thi.
time to whom is to go the honor a.
designer of the Stars and Bars. This
has been a much contToverted point
The reunion will come to an end OF
Thursday with the grand ball in tn,
First Regiment Armory and the mill
/ tary ball in the armory OF the Rich
mond Light Infantry Blues.
Among the speakers at the reunion
will be- Judge d. Gardiner Tyler,
son of President Tyler; John w. Bal
