II HE following explains itself:
letter from Veterans.

Macon Ga, Feb. 9th, 1917.
Mrs. Walter J. Grace, President U. D. c. Chapter,
Macon Ca:
Dear Mrs. Grace:
We recently learned that Bishop Kelley, of
Savannah, Ca, had been invited to deliver the
memorial address on April 26th, invited in good
faith by the ladies of the Local Chapter u D. c.,
who evidently did not consider the incongrulty of
it, nor the consequent embarrassment it would
cause; we, feeling this deeply each one of US, an
Old Confederate Veteran, who gave of his best
for the he considered just and right in the
sixties, and who stands just ready, today, to
shed the last drop of red blood flowing through
our old VEINS for the of freedom and right,
or against any menace that threatens our beloved
country, urge you to use your influence presi-
dent of the U. D. c.. to have this invitation re-
called, and(to have this patriotic address delivered
by who is in full accord and sympathy with
American constitution
Bishop Kelley represents a system anttagonistic
to the laws of our land eve cite The Great En-
cyclical Letters of Pope Leo Kill, wherein the
declaration Is made that it is crime to obey the
laws of the State if they at variance with the
Papal law and as Bishop Kelley has so we'll
proved his allegiance to this above authority by
defying the laws Of the State of Georgia, we feel
that it would be embarrassing for>him to deliver
an address on patriotism to the constituency CT
the members of the general assembly of the State
of Georgia, when he has classed them unfit and
unworthy to appear in the presence of ladies'
unless the latter be protected.
List of SignerS.
For the ladies Of the U. D. c.. we have the
klndest feeling and most sincerely trust that this
unpleasantneSs may be adjusted.
For the best interest of all concerned, we feel
justified in writing you thusy, and feel confidence
in your patriotism, Your love for the u D. c.,
and your kindly interest for the old vets.
Very sincerely,
