Cheers went up from the people Of

Of the Elizabeth V. Brown School for
a registration day rally last night
when Congressman Frederick R.

After relating the long series OF
violation Of American rights BY Ger
many and the efforts Of President

CONGRESSMAN Lehlbach continued
FINALLY, America went into the
war because we had reason TO oeieVe
that II we overlooked this Nioaton

started out for itself. and on June D
1917. he said America celebrated its
twenty-hrst birthday. because its

pie
John L. Weaver, a resident Of Chevy

the taxes. but "a per cent interest on
the bonds.

votiOn to Confederate Dead.

When Gen. Bennett H. Young. past
commander-in-chiefo Of the Confederate
Veterans, at the convention in the
willard yesterday, introduced Mrs.
Louisiana Ransburg Briggs as THE
Yelled Lady of Camp Chase" he dis
closed to an approving audience one
of the most pathetically beautiful
stories OF the civil war.
Ten years ago." General Young
related. Mrs. Louisiana Briggs, heay-
fly yelled, went to the historic ceme-
terry in a hostile community near Co
lumbus, Ohio. and scattered flowers
on the neglected graves of the South
ern soldiers who died in Camp Chase
prison.
Mrs. Briggs devotion to her task
mystifed those of her community, who
often expressed their disapproval OF
her continued expressions OF sympa-
thy. But with 1t all, the true daugh-
ter of the South. who preferred TO re-
main an unknown. succeeded in hon
oring the graves Of Confederates bur
led in Ohio"
At this point General Young ad-
vanced TO Mrs. Briggs and said:
This is the yelled lady who for
ten years scattered flowers among
the thorns and bushes and brambles
and brIars at Camp Chase where the
sons of Louisiana and the Southland
lay sleeping"
So deeply did General Young's reve-
lation affect the veterans that many
were moved to tears.
Gov. James B. McCreay. Of Ken
lucky. spoke briefly. Sponsors and
maids OF honor were presented. The

courage goes a unanimity, and with
