Editor The Advertiser:
Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock the
Confederate Veterans paid tribute
with impressive memorial services
over the graves of fallen Confederate
heroes in Arlington cemetery.
THE President and Mrs. Wilson
were present at the ceremony but Mr..
Wilson made no address. Hon. L. P.
Padgett of Tennessee dilivered the
Grafton.
In part he said, Reconstruction
in the South has been so thoroughly
accomplished that in the present war
the nation has been acting as one
man." He praised the South's dead
heroes and referred to President Will
son who was seated on his right, as
"the greatest man in the world today,
if not the greatest man that ever
lived"
Two thousand veterans took part
in the ceremony and several thous-
and friends and visitors were present.
Flowers were strewn over the graves
of the Confederate dead and a gar
land of roses was placed on the mon
ument of the Confederacy.
The services were held under the
auspices of the Confederate Veteran
Association (Camp III, U. c. W,
Sons of Confederate Veterans, Unit
ed Daughters of Confederacy, and
the Southern Relief Society. Captain
Fred Beall, commander Of Camp I'll,
u. C. V, led the thin gray line of
veterans around the monument in
salute and thence to the seats in
front of the grand stand where Rep
resentative Padgett made the address
The invocation was made by Rev.
Randolph H. McKinn, Chaplain of
Camp III, U. C. V. Music was furn-
ished by the Marine Band, and the
benediction was given by Rev. An
drew r. Byrd, Chaplain of Camp
3O5, Sons of Confederate Veterans.
All the boys in Company's D, E,
and F, have had their steel helmets
issued them. The helmets weigh about
three and one-half pounds and the
first remark the fellows make when
they try them on is, 'T' hell-mit he'll
met" About three thousand engi-
neers left Washington last night and
we trust that we will go next.

vidual examining, types of mental in

Major Yerkes directed the work
and in forwarding his report to the
adjutant general, General Gorgas,
said:
'The purpose of these tests as out
lined by Major Yerkes is as follows
"(a) To aid in segregating and
eliminating the mentally incompetent;
''(b) To classify men according to
their mental capacity;
"(c) To assist in selecting compe-
tent men for responsible positions.
''In the opinion of this Office these
reports indicate very definitely that
the desired results have been achiev-
ed. Scores of drafted men, mentally
incompetent, have been identified by
the psychological tests much earlier
in their military careers than would
have otherwise occurred"
