TWENTY ONE ALBANIANS
RECEIVE COMMISSIONS

Albanians are proud, and justly
so, Of the excellent showing made
by the men Of this city who attend
ed the first Officers Training
Camp, Fort McPherson. OF the
men who entered the camp from
Albany, twenty-one secured COM
missions, two were recommended
for further training in the second
Officers Training Camp at Fort
Oglethorpe,a and one was transferred
to the aviation school at Georgia
Tech.
OF the twenty-one from Albany
receiving commissions, four will be
captains, one a first lieutenant and
sixteen second lieutenants,. effective
August 10.
The Albanians commissioned as
captains are: w P Westbrook, III
fantry Section, Officers Reserve
Corps; Lee Roy Brown, Chef NJ.
Clark and E. r. Clark, artillery
section, Officers Reserve Corps.
Jerome H. Brown was the only
Albanian commissioned as first
lieutenant, he being assigned to the
Infantry Section, Officers Reserve
Corps.
The Albanians commissioned as
second lieutenants are: R. Duke,
Hollis Lanier, ]. F. Whitehead,
james NJ. Heath, S. B. Lippitt, A.
W. Muse, Jr., Infantry Section,
Officers Reserve Corps; F. 7. Gil
bert, ]. D. Crews, W. w. Crews,
Artillery Section, Officers Reserve
Corps; i. c. Walters, Cavalry Sec
ton, Officers Reserve Corps; J. T.

officers in the Georgia National
Guard, as follows; Major W. NJ.
Wilder and First Lieutenant and
Battalion Adjutant J.W. Armstrong,
Jr.. of the second battalion, Second
Infantry Captain Garnet w. Sage,
First Lieutenant j. J. West and
Second Lieutenant Stewart D.Saye,
of the Albany Guards.
John H. Hester former Albany
boy, holds a commission as first
lieutenant ofthe Regular Army and
is right in line for promotion to
captaincy at an early date.
Albanians believe that there is
no other city in the country OF the
same size that can show as many
commissions in the army as this
c;ty. The proportion of men who
entered and were commissioned was
also high.
Albany also has thirteen men
who have been accepted for training
in the second Officers Training
Camp to be opened at Fort Ogle-
thorpe the latter part of this
month.

TIMELY SUGGESTION.

The name of Jefferson Davis, pres
ident of the Confederate States OF
America, born June 3, 1903, was
honored yesterday afternoon by Rich
mond Chapter, United Daughters OF
the Confederacy, in ceremony held
at the 5ase of the Davis Monument
on Monument Avenue.
DR.. Douglas S. Freeman delivered
the address. He devoted the larger
part of his attention of reviewing
preside,t Davis's conduct during the
War Between the States.
"rhe Confederacy was defeated
not at Gettysburg and not at Apo,
mattox, but here in Richmond in the
halls of the Congress-" said DR.. Free
man. "By not cooperating with
President Davis and giving him the
authority to carry on the war with
the maximum Of unity and efficiency
the wranghng politicians made it
impossible for the cause to be vic
torius.
"The lesson Of the Confederacy
should serve as warning to the
United States today as it stands on
the threshold Of war with Germany
Unless our present Congress places
the necessary power in the hands Of
President Wilson, the story of 1861
1865 may be repeated"
The committee in charge of the
memorial service was composed of
Mrs. 3. A. Blcnner. Mrs. Norman v.
Randolph. Mrs. Samuel Dew and
Mrs. j. X. Bowman.

THE BLUE TO THE GRAY

By WILLIAM DUDLEY MABRf
Go F, 7th Illinois Cavalry, U. S. W
Welcome veterans from the South!
No facile pen, no word Of mouth
Can tell the feeling fine
The men III blue are proud to own
For men in gpay to valor known
From days of Guild lang sync.
In eighteen hundred sixty-three
Your serried ranks, led on by Lee =
The prince of Chivalry-
Would fain have captured Washing
ton
And felt the day of triumph won
Mid shouts of victory.
Today you come in peace and love
To win triumph far above
The victory of arms.
Oar gates. our hearts are open wide
Your peaceful conquest shall abide
In memory that charms.
Twas not in malice nor in hate
Your fields and vineyards Gesolate
We're left in sixty-iivc;
In truth to tell we loved you so
We could not bear 20 see you go
And leave the Union hive.
So like the mischief did YOU Sight
And raise our hair by lay and night
With frightful rebel Yell
That we from sheer necessity
Must make you see. reluc 'ant|y
That war. in decd, was hell.
It's over now, thanks ue to God
Though many sleep beneath the sot
Both of the Blue and Gray;
And we who live have come 10 knsw
While years may come ana year:
may go,
Cur hearts are one today.
There is no North, South, East o.
West,
No section that we love the best,
Except upon the map;
Within our hearts, from sea t. sea
We sing, "My Country Ills Of Thee.
Our Union knows I'd gap.
The cause for which you bravel!
COPIED
Was one you loved ana Torily hopet
Might never wane nor perish;
The flag you rallied to defend
Will be the emblem to the end
Of memories you cherished.
We blame you not, for we'll we KNOW
That while your flag of long ago
Is dear to you today,
Above al! flags Old Glory flies,
Reflection from the starry s!:ies-
The flag of Blue and Gray.
