Pleas for Veterans of North and South and Their De- scendents to Stand To- gether Are Made at the Opening Session
By Associated Ores,

Atlanta, October S.--Pleas for veterans of the north and south and their de- scendants to stand together in the unset tied conditions following the world war were made at today's opening session at the United Confederate Veterans re- union.
 Speakers defended the cause of the south in the civil war. but asserted that the ''justness of their cause" should only make southern men better and more loy- al today and declared this has been shown in the world war.
 Away with the hypocritical, synco- phantic cry that the south fought for whst shes thought ' to be right" said Gen. J. E. Woods of Marianna, Ark. . in the veterans. T tell you she fought for that she knew to be right" the vetera Ii continued. He then told of the tremen- dous odds against which Lees armies labored. and turning to the present day, continued:
 Today We are Americans and the old boys in gray have transferred their loy- alty from the stars and bars-their first love, which has been consigned to the tomb-to the Stars and Stripes, the fla s of our common country.''
 Saying that 5i years ago his father died in Virginia for the south, and a year ago his younger brother died IF France for a reunited country State Senator Luther Harrison of Ada, okla. delivering the annual address before the veterans first meeting. asserted both causes were founded on the same just ideals v
 But all this is forgotten" Senator Harrison contfnutd. We are now ready to cooperate in furtherance of the priA- ciples that the best Americans stand for. Socialism is an aggressive evil. one that should be fought if we are to be Americans
 The south. with it's comparatively small foreign. populations, should lead the na- ton in pure Americanism, he asserted.
 Other speakers on today's programme expressed similar views, and Senator Harrison and Miss Mildred Rutherford of Athens. Ga, educator and a southerT, historian, made pleas for purging school and other histories of matter reflecting on the Confectionery Miss Rutherford, who spoke at the afternoon session of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, urged that they take it upon themselves to see that such Looks are removed not only from schools, but public libraries
 Greetings from the American Legion to the Confederate Veterans were sent today in a telegram to Gen. K NJ. Van Zandt, commander-iu-c chief of the

 In the absence of Maj Gen. Thomas Barry, commander of the department Of the east, who was expected to start the race, all opening ceremonies at Roose- velt field were dispensed with.

OPPONENTS BLOCK ALL EFFORTS TO BRING SFzANTUNG AMENDMENT
 TO VOTE NV SENATE THIS WEEK
Refuse to Accede to Joint Request by Democratic and Republican Leaders for Consideration of the
 Amendment Week Hence
By A.ssl.t.s rr.n

Washington, October B. Opponents of the peace treaty today blocked all attempts to bring the Shantung amendment to a vote in the Senate this week, and then refused to ac- cede to a joint request by re- publican and democratic lead CTS for it's consideration one week hence.
 In the half hour wrangle that followed the suggestion of Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations committee that the Sen- ate corli speed up the treaty by reading the printed text while senators vera ,ra- pafahs speeches nthe shantung pro- vision, the charge was made and denied that full fledged filiSuster ,s,or -ai9hr envelope tae pact and delay final action on it.
 Earner Tn the day democratic leaders had declared there was no hope of T vofe this week on Shantung because Senator borah, republican. of Idaho had let < pc known that he would not give raanA nous consent to such move befcy7 senator Johnson republican. of CaIiSa. ma, has returned from his western speax. ing tour against the league of nations.
 Taking account, therefore of this o,-. position and realizing that many ssna- tors. including himself, wanted to be heard, Senator Lodge said that consid- eration would be expedited bv putting all spare time on the job of reading. a four day tasS at best, With reading clerks working in relays.
 DEMANDS ACTION senator Hitchcock of Nebraska floor leader for the administration forces said the plan suited him, except that he would prefer 2 vote next "Wednesday or carller on the amendments, which Sena tor Lodge frankly admitted was quite inDossibls There was a general discussion for a time with Senator Lodge reiterating that Sena- tor Hitchcock and himself had done their best to expedite the treaty when Sena- tor Underwood. democrat, of Alabama. broke in with a sharp demand for actiar Declaring that both the country and the Senate were desrous of having the treaty disposed of Senator Underwood declared that th7 senate should not wait until next week to vote on the Shantuns amendment, when every senator knew now how he would vote on that and the treaty itself.
 
 we ought to ratify it now without any more talk" Senator Underwood said, s.and if it is to be amended and amendments will send it back to Europe. the sooner it is sent back the better I am not going to sit here anl have it said that we can- not vote yet In a matter of this iin- portance senators should make their per- sonal engagements conform to the busi- ness of the United States"
 WHIRIW1ND FIGHT
 It looked as though the Senate was in d whiriwind fight, and while Senator Lodge had announced he would with draw lis request for unanimous consent to call .r the Shantung amendment next week. Senator France. republican,, os Maryland. standing directly behind him and waiting to start 35.do0-word speech. shouted his objection. This abruptly ended
