UNITY FELT in
REUNION OF VETERANS
Fratemal Meeting of Gray and Blue
Patriotic Lesson.

II Is proposed by the committee in
charge Of the twenty-seventh annual re-
union Of the United Confederate
veterans to be held here the week
beginning June to make the occasion
one Of jubilation of the Blue and Gray.
Col. Robert N. Harper. general chair
man. believes the gathering OF the
soldiers Of Dixie and their cordial greet
ing by the @. A. R. veterans, win give
the clouds OF today q silver lining.
Among the many prominent figures on
the Union side In the civil war who
have written encouraging letters are
Corporal" Tanner, Col. Myron NJ.
Parker, former commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army OF the Republic, and
Gen. Ell Torrance, Of Minneapolis,
MINI.
In a recent letter to Gen. Hilary A.
Herbert. chief marshal of the Confeder-
ate reunion, in which a substantial sum
Of money was enclosed, Gen. Torrance
said:
THE event will be most significant and
without parallel in the worlds history. II
will demonstrate to the world. now in
the throes OF the mightiest war Of the
ages, that love reigns and hatred is dead.
II will be a pledge stronger than treaties
and constitutions that the American
people forever viii remain united to pre-
serve and promulgate the principles Of
liberty to the end OF time"
Gen. Herbert, former Secretary of the
Navy and member OF Congress for sevE
eral terms, who served as colonel of the
Eighth Alabama Confederate regiment
wrote in reply to Gen. Torrance:
You letter carried me back to Janu-
ary, 1853, when the pickets guarding Gen.
Burnside's lines along the Rappahannock,
and those guarding Lees lines on the
south side OF that narrow river, had
ceased to shoot at each other; when
soldiers in blue often faced Confederate
officers and came to salute, as they visit
ed their picket lines on the bank Of
that river. just as pickets in gray often.
at the same time, saluted officers in
blue when they were visiting their pick
cts. Respect and mutual admiration for
each other had already taken the place
Of hate and passion. and Just there were
the beginnings OF the wonderful coming
together Of the North and South which
you and have lovingly watched COM
ing down the decades.
II pray the good Lord. under whom
these marvellous results have been
achieved in our land-and I cannot but
feel that somehow the prayer Is to be
answered-that in some manner we can
not but foresee a world peace Is to follow
the present world war"

come by demonstrating this futility and
by staying so many hundreds Of thou
sands OF men that the war must end
under its own scarlet burden OF death"
This purports to be representative Ger
man opinion regarding the situation in
the western front. In ii is involved the
implication that Germany now realizes
that the submarine cannot end the war;
that she cannot gain the decisive VIC
tory which she promises TO her own peo-
pie. II must be borne in mind that the
dispatch in question is intended for
American consumption, and not for Ger
man. II is sent out with the obvious in
tenton OF slackening up war preparation
In the United States by circulating the
belief that the war will close long before
American troops are trained and equip
ped TO go 70 the front
Another Berlin dispatch says that Beth
mann-Hollweg has temporarily averted
the internal crisis, and is no longer under
the necessity OF sailing a new peace
kite" The Centrists and the National
Liberals have now rallied to his support,
and even the Socialists intimate that they
have abandoned their intention Of fore
ing a peace debate IN the Reichstag
A significant dispatch from Milan saws
that Switzerland has cancelled her re-
cent commercial agreement with Ger
many for the reason that the United
SAaNeS mas proposed 10 neutral countries
that their supplies would only be assured
II they agreed TO suspend absolutely all
exports to Germany, even as compensa-
tionE for exchange" This means that
the United States has sent the same no.
uce to Sweden and Denmark. and places
these neutrals in an extremely erbar-
RAISING position, for they have been wax
ing fat on their war trade with the Ger
man empire.
Dutch merchant Is quoted as saying
that Holland produces ten times more
agricultural and dairy products than she
needs. and that she can only send them
to Germany, because Il is impossible for
her shipping to send them elsewhere
Any other course spells bankruptcy for
The Netherlands. But the United States
Is belhgerent, and no longer a neutral.

erected to those whose hearts uniting,

Greed and Color Lost.
The story of the Red Cross parade was
written in a tiny sector of its line as II
filed past President Wilson on the re-
view stand before Continental Memorial
Hall yesterday afternoon. Tramping
steadily and proudly up Seventeenth
street came a company OF women march
ers, bearing a banner:
Washington Hebrew CONGREGATION"
Behind them marched with swinging
stride. a company Of colored girls, spot
less in their Red Cross uniforms, bearing
in their midst, another banner which
read:
Howard University"
Thus was written in human letters the
story of the parade-the story OF race,
creed and color swept away in the fire
Of national patriotism and service. The
women Of America, represented by this
throng of 2,ooo marchsrE, were showing
the President how they were meeting the
crisis Of war.
The appearance OF President Wilson,
surrounded by the dignitaries OF state,
on the reviewing stand was the signal
for crash OF marching melody from the
Marine Band, that swept up Seventeenth
street from the Mall, heading the parade
OF women marchers. The President alone
stood to review the procession and be-
hind the Marine Band, came the leaders
Mrs. Hugh L. Scott, wife Of the chief
Of stan Of the Army, who was grand
marshal; Mrs Newton D. Baker, wife Of
he - M
Daniels wife of the Secretary OF War;
Miss Mabel Boardman, prominent Red
Cross official and others. There was a
burst of cheering from the crowds which
had lined Seventeenth street and over
flowing into the Ellipse parking.
wave Of camera men surged forward
to shoot" a closeup of the President
and the oncoming parade. but they were
swept back in a fierce police counter
thrust. led by Major Pullman. Behind
the leaders of the parade. came the
women Of the Supply Corps, marshalled
by fair young dream whose Red Cross
flag snapped in the breeze
Military Discipline.
There was color and motion and thrill
wonderfully blended in the tramp OF
these 100 Supply Corps marchers, who
were dressed in a burse-like costume,
that of a Sister Of Charity. As each unit
neared the reviewing stand the sharp
command. Eyes right" rang out and
the women marched past with their eyes
fixed upon the reviewing stand and their
hands at attention.
over the railing peered down the for
mer President, William Howard Taft,
and as his eye swept the crowd below,
he glimpsed several OF the Secret Service
men who once followed him about the
country. They have been strangers to
Washington since, these sleuths, but it
M lL have brought back old times.
Then the line Of march, ever streaming
north, revealed a host OF delegations,
that ran in order something like this

young girls in blue and white uniforms
with aprons.
But the feature was yet to pass. After
the camp kitchens, ridden by young
women and propelled by Fords, passed up
the street, the crowd saw that behind
one of the camp kitchens were marching
three tiny tots in blue and white uni
forms .toddling merrily along over the
asphalt but somehow keeping up with
the procession. The President Erinned
broadly and the 8ssemblage in the stand
spplauded loudly.
Trick Dog Parades.
Mention must be made also Of the
trick dog who rode on the folded-back
top of an automobile in the motor corps

lowered above and behind his mistress
and famed with red and white ribbons
