 WASHINGTON, June s-Vet- erans, visitors in Washington by the thousands for the 27th annual reunion of confederate veterans, joined in giving President Wilson a great ovation when he welcom- cd the visitors from Dixie to the capital. He told them the coun- try was beginning to understand that one of the purposes of prov- idence in keeping the nation united was to meet the opportun- ity now before America to fight for the liberty of mankind. The presidents declaration today was one of gladness because of the sacred memories and the dedica- ton of united country to those principles that have made Amer ica great among the nations. He was greeted with rousing cheers. The hall was filled with thou sands and twice as many were turned away. While waiting for the president the crowd cheered Confederate leaders and applaud ed old Southern airs played by a marine band and sung by a group of gray-coated young lead CTS from Portsmouth, Va.

No News From Soldier
Means That He is Safe

Although the failure to receive let
ters from men in the service is not
pleasant to relatives and friends at
home the adage "no news is good
news" never was more true than at
present. The report of every casual
ty at home or abroad is immediately
wired or cabled to officials at Wash
ington, being relayed from there with
out loss of time to the emergency ad-
dress of the soldier or sailor affected.
1t is also at once released for publi-
cation in the newspapers. No news
of casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home; he has been
urged, on the contrary, to keep in
touch with relatives and friends. The
forces in France have at their dis
posal post cards giving general infor-
nation in regard to health and the
receipt of letters and parcels, which
may be dispatched without payment
of postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail
intended for soldiers and sailors
reaches them promptly Where the
regimental and company designation
of a soldier is not known it may be
secured by application to The Adju-
tant Generals Office, Washington.
D. c. In one week 1,674 letters with
insufficient addresses were received at
this office. On 1882 the addresses
were completed and they were for
warded, 1913 were returned to senders.
5S went to tn dead-letter office be-
cause sendrs' addresses were not Civ
en-, and the balance were held with
the view that the addresses might be
completed later.

1t was interesting to watch the rnen
out in the small streams near Trout
dale, hunting for gold among the peb-
bles. The fishing parties in Bear
Creek Region were numerous The
road wound around the mountains,
following Bear Creek for miles.
In some places the roads were so mar
row it seemed almost impossible to g,
over them, and there was always
great danger in passing other vehicles
or running into them while winding
around the mountain side.
We visited the u. S. Mint building
and saw the numerous processes that
were undergone in making silver coin.
Upon entering we went up flight of
steps, then went on little balcony
where we could watch the work from
above. We saw the Public Library,
Denver University, the beautiful
homes out on Capital Hill, and went
through the City Park, also the
Cheesman Park, and numerous other
buildings and places of interest.
Upon our arrival in st. Louis we
were fortunate to meet about four of
the home boys-also a couple from
home. After taking in the city, we
soon were homeward bound, feeling
fully repaid for both the time and ex-
pense in seeing the wonderful counu-
try west of the great old Mississippi.
To those wishing to travel, my ad-
vice would be: See America First.

club, the Young Mems Christian as
soeiation and the public schools have

The children who have had the care
Of their gardens have learned the art
of gardening. as we'll as the lesson
of neatness and thrift. Two commu-
nifty garden plots were conducted. one.
at Ninth street and Sixteenth avenue
and the other at Fifth avenue and
Twenty-fourth street. The latter plot
was used as garden plot in 1915.
but the following year was used Is

grounds have been used for gardens
and also as Fairgrounds. In the
two plots 169 gardens. Is feet by 20
feet were cultivated By children Of
the city under the direction of some
elder person. This number applies
only to the community gardens and
not to those at the homes.
Vegetables of all kinds were raised
and were used either at the homes or
were sold by the children The gar
dens were we'll kept by the children,
some showing better ability in cnlti-
waiting the plots and others less adept
at taking care of them while many.
who were entirely ignorant of the art

season, were. as able as any to keep
their gardens in perfect shape. A
few flowers were raised but the work
WAS generally centered on vegetables.
