Dear Folks: We are all safely back,

Tuesday midday. All found good quar-
ters. some preferring TO go to the great
camp and sleep in tents, others pre-
ferred to pay small sum for rooms
and breakfast, and few were so for
tunate as to be taken into the homes
of good people who refused to take any
thing at ALL Not all of these had been
invited beforehand. but knew their hosts
for the first time.
1t rained on Wednesday night, but few
were inconvenienced by it. The tents
were, as a rule, dry. The few which
were flooded had the occupants taken
into the city in trucks and autos. which
were rushed out early in the night.

the most successful of any we have ever
attended. Florida headquarters at the
Ansley were close to general headquar-
tiers at the Piedmont. SO we were all IN
close touch with each other. The great

of Atlanta must have thought of this
message when they invited the veterans
to be their guests. and determined that
they should be able to say, I'VE Have
Conquered" No city in so short a PERIOD
has prepared and carried out more plans
for the entertainment of the veterans
A unique feature of the great parade
was the Ku-Klux. AS five hundred or
these closed up the line OF march IN
their long white robes and pointed hats,
the thought came into many minds that
these. who had saved the civilization OF
our beloved southland during the recon

upon to save the Anglo-Saxon people OF

which is even now threatening them by
the bolsheviki hordes which have come

has beaten and have it appear that
he won the last match accidentally.
Roller will use his toe hold and
expects to use it effectively. This is
a dangerous grip and some grapplers
are mean enough to cause their op-
ponents terrible suffering by it's use.
Roller, however. is one of the clean
est men in the game and never uses
the grip except to force his man to
break his hold.
This will be the third meeting of
the two wrestlers. The first engage
ment resulted in a two-hour draw
