Roast pork left-overs finely chopped

Cornmeal pork fritters, with a rich

WHETHER ARMY SHALL
GO ABROAD

Washington. May With the judg-
ment of the French war mission and
the American army general staff seem
ingly in conflict as to when American
troops should be sent TO France, par
ticular interest attached to a confer
ence at the White House between
President Wilson and Rene Viviani,
head OF the French mission.
Decision rests with the president,
through his constitutional function as
cOmmander-in-chief of the United
States army. 1t was generally as
sumed that the views of the French
officials disclosed in Marshal Joffre's
statement advising that American
forces be sent to the battlefront soon,
were formally presented to Mr.. Will
son during the conference
There is no question, however, that
the general staff disapproves any sug-
gesti0n that American forces be sent
abroad until they are fully trained and
equipped for the task before them
with the exception of the final touches
to be given behind the battle lines.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION IN
WASHINGTON

Speaking Of the approaching re-un-
ion Of the Confederate Veterans at
the capital OF the nation the Norfolk
VaD Pilot says:
Since the crisis of our quarrel
with Germany came to a head. the
most prompt and positive of the voic
es calling for full vindication of
American rights have come from
the old men in gray who in their youth
battled for conscience sake against
the flag they have taught their sons
to revere as the symbol of a reunited
country The south stands as a unit
behind the government in its deter
minatiOn 10 uphold the honor of the
republic We can imagine no scene
more inspiring of loyalty than will be
presented when the remnants of the
armies that followed Lee and Jackson
and Johnston shall march up Penn
sylvania avenue to the Washington
monument and there bear testimony
to all the world that every beat of
their warriors hearts keep time to
the music of the Union.
And if, over the thin column that
remains Of a once mighty host, the
Stars and Bars shall fly side by side
with the Stars and Stripes, the juno
ture would not revive buried differ
ences. but would give convincing to-
ken that the wounds of the past have
been healed, its animosities buried,
and that the only rivalry now be-
tween the north, south, east and west
is which shall go foremost and fur
therest in fulfilling the duties of pa
triotism to the land they love"
General George P Harrison says:
TO meet in the capital of our cOun-
try at this time is very opportune, &C.
menting friendships in all sections.
Let us go there and by our acts pro-
claim to the world that those who
wore the blue stand for our country

Stripes
