among the members of this post since
January. 1t has been remarked
that while the majority of the posts
of the country are named in honor
of a distinguished soldier Post 5S
sticks to the numeral as its mark of
distinction. The post had adopted
the name of General John F. Hart
ranft Post No. 5S, but there was a
rule that no post could take the
name of living soldier and the name
was reluctantly discarded. Since
then the names of a dozen heroes
have been suggested, but in each
case the motion to prefix a name was
defeated. 1t is a matter of pride to
which the members point that in
the so years of its existence the or
ganizat ton has not failed to hold a
meeting on the regular meeting
night.

"YANK" OFFICIALLY O. X.

Washington. Aug. 21.-Since the
name "Yanks" for American soldiers
has been officially approved by Gen
eral March, its use is rapidly spread
ing through the camps in this coun-

by British troops, and was then
adopted by the French. 1t has been
pointed out that the term Yankee
has been applied to United States
troops in every war save the revolu-
ton. The word Yankee first stood for
New Englanders, and typitied one
who was sharp and crafty.

jackson, Miss. Aug. 21.-Defeat OF
Senator James K. Vardaman for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator from Mississippi by
Congressman Pat Harrison in yester-
days statewide primary appeared
assured early to-day on the basis of
returns from all except fourteen Of
the eighty-two counties of the state.
Representative Harrison on the
basis of these returns had majority
of 5,6s1 votes over Senator Varda-
man and former Governor Z. f.
Noel, the other candidate, Taoula-
tions made here showed;
Nardaman .........r. .'''.,' %t,-so

More than state interest was mani
tested in the primary owing to a
letter written by President Wilson
in which the President said he would
consider the reelection of Senator
Vardaman as "a condemnation of my
administration by the people OF Mis-
siSsippi."
General opinion is that the Presi-
dents letter aided materially in the
defeat of Senator Eardaman. Many
OF his former supporters in the rural
districts refused TO vote after the
publication OF the letter from Mr..
Wilson declaring that they could not
vote against the President nor
against Senator Vardaman.
Both Harrison and Noel made
their campaign on loyalty
to-the-Administratio basis. Sena-
tor Nardaman in his speeches de-
clared he had not been disloyal. but
said he and the President often dis
