son division of Daughters of Confed
crate Veterans, at a meeting held last
week adopted resolutions in memory
and honor of the revered founder of
that organization, Miss Ann Andrews,
of Vicksburg, whose death occurred
recently. 1t was due to the thought
and influence of Miss Andrews, who
lived through the siege of Vicksburg
otto young women, children and
grandchildren of Confederate soldiers,
with the view of perpetuating the
deeds of heroism of that day, in 1896
formed themselves into the initial
chapter or circle of Daughters of Con-
federate Veterans, which has since
spread to other cities and other states.
She is referred to as the founder of
this patriotic order, as an abiding
memorial to the men serving the Con
federacy in the war of 1S61-1S65," and
it was
Resolved, that this order owes to
the memory of Miss Ann Andrews a
tribute of loyalty, which, from full
hearts, we hereby offer"

$4,000 GERMANS
TO Be |NTERNED
BRITAIN FINDS THAT MAN Y
ALIEN TEUTONS WHICH MUST
BE SUPERVISED.
lDy Associated PrcSS.)

London, June 1. The admiralty
and War Office are not at all pleased
over having to intern the $4,000 Ger
mans of military age now at large. In
spite Of abuse for not taking such
action sooner, which had long been a
part of the anti-liberal propaganda Of
the conservatives and the yellow
press, the government has interned
few alien enemies able to support
themselves. The government evident
ly put little stock in the spy scares of
the yellow papers.
To intern $4,000 men means a cost
estimated at a quarter of a million
dollars a week, to say nothing of the
soldiers required for guard duty who
must be diverted from other service.
Prisoners. kept on nine internment
ships are known to cost 100000 a
week to maintain, and it is assumed
the big land camps must cost much
more
If the government carries out its
proposed plan, however, some relief
will be provided by the reparation OF
10000 elderly interned prisoners
which will leave only $4,000 new ones
to provide for.
A large proportion of Germans anG
Austrians caught in Great Britain al
the outbreak of the war were walters
and hotel porters entirely dependent
on small wages. In Germany, the
British interned are almost all tour
lists and students.
