 Dear Colonel Roosevelt--I note from the newspapers that you are at the head of a moVement to form the vet eranS of the northern army of the civil war, vet erans of the Spanish American war with the returned sol diers of the recent war, into one great union of veterans Why are the Confederate V eterans not invited to join this body of soldiers, who have so gallantly, added glory to the patriot ism and valor of the United States? But for the courage of the Confed- crate soldier, who dared to do and die, there would not have been any army of the Republic, who wore the blue in the sixties. But for the mighty deeds of those who wore the gray, those who wore the blue would not have won fame and honor, unless there had been those who wore the gray worthy of their steel.

Both Corn and Oats Hit the Downward Trail, While Provisions Were 75c
 Off to 10c Rise
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 26.-Rairosd orders to put grain ahead of all other commodi- ties in the movement of freight from the west and northwest had a decided bearish effect today on the corn market Prices closed heavy 2s4 to 4ss cents net lower with January slsl14ai.S1ls and May Sl.a9l2 al So7. Oats declined $ to 7s cent net In provisions the outcome varied from ,5 cents loss to rise of 10 cents.
 Corn traders were prompt to infer that the exrrd effort tc handle grain In prefer enee even to coal would result in ma terial enlargement of corn receipts here and other leading terminals
 Some -dtssenters pointed out that it was one thing to give grain the Interference. put another thing to furnish the cars. Never 5he less, the weakness of the mar ket STOW more and more pronounced, and values broke sharply in the last part of the session. Under these circumstances buiiish factors like the signing of the Edge bill or the Barnes plan to help feed Europe had no apparent influence on prices.
 Despite liberal export sales, oats went lower with corn.
 Higher quotations on hogs led to an ad- vance in provisions. but offerings in- creased. and a setback followed, especi- ally in pork ani ribs.
