BY United Press.
Richmond, June 3.-Rain postponed
the Confederate veterans parade
again this morning until this after
noon. Many of the veterans have
grown weary of waiting and have gone
home, but there are still about 5000
here.
Gen. Bennett H. Young of Louis
vile, KY, was Wednesday reelected
commander-in-chief in annual reunion
here. Birmingham, Ala. was selected
over Dallas as the reunion city for
1916.
Before the close of the final busi-
ness session the reunion sent the fol
lowing greeting in the form of unan-
imously adopted resolution to Presi-
dent Wilson.
"The United Confederate veterans
in twenty-fifth annual reunion assem-.
bled at Richmond, Va, send greetings
to Woodrow Wilson, president Of the
United States, AS soldiers, who know
only too well the horrors of war, and
as citizens of a reunited country, we
are glad at heart that we have at
Washington president who, strictly
neutral between warning nations, will
with wisdom and courage stand for all
regard and respect of the honor of the
American flag and proper observ-
ance of the full rights of the humblest
American citizen"
The reading of the resolution was
received with tumultuous applause BY
the veterans, who again cheered the
name of President Wilson when Con-
gresham Heflin of Alabama declared
that the defenders of the south had
been spared to see a man, born in
the southland, the son of Confeder-
ate soldier. president of the United
States
