murdered In Schwarzwald. Baden. at 8

Herr Erzberger was one Of long series

300 of these murders.
Herr Erzberger was unpopular in Ger

Guiding the armistice negotiations.
which the Nationalists declared he made
unn ecessarily numiliating to Germany.
He was hated by seafaring Germans
because he complied with the allied
demands In connection with the German
merchant marine. He was hated by
the military because he participated in
the dissolution of the old army. Also
he was unpopular with the Prussian
Protestants because he represented the
Liberal South German Catholic move
ment. Finally. he was unpopular bs-
cause his financial programme involved
thorough reform and capital sacrifice.
He was the power behind the throne
of the Wirth Cabinet and inspired the
present Wirth financial programme. His
grasp of the German financial situation
was such that even his worst enemtes
admitted he probably would return TO
power in the near future. His con-
ciliatory attitude in meeting outside de-
mands, combined with his financial
astuteness, won for him the title OF
"Germany's Caillaux."
The result of his death will be that
either the Liberal wing of the Catholic
party, which Is now in power and rep
resented by Chancellor Wirth, Will
carry out the Erzberger moderate pro-
gramme, seeking support of the Mod
crate Socialists despite the opposition
of certain large interests. thus blocking

BUDAPEST, Aug. 28.-The greatest Sc
crecy is being maintained regarding the
terms of The treaty of peace between
Hungary and the United States. now
being negotiated by Foreign Minister
Banffy and Grant Smith, United States
commissioner here. Instructions from
Washington said nothing was to be
made public before peace Is signed. II
has been understood, however, that its
terms will be substantially the same as
those of the treaty between Hungary
and the allied Powers, with the exccp-
tion that the territorial provisions will
be omitted.
Commissioner Smith declared last
night that he believed the treaty would
not be signed before the end OF Septem-
Der. as a number OF technicaiities needed
to be Strengthened out.
"The treaty, after its signature" he
said. will be presented to the Hungarian
National Assembly. As that body does
not meet before November however. Its
probably will not take place
before the end OF this year."

PNEUMATIC TUBES

1t is difficult to find any logical expla'
nation for mentality which refused the
splendid service pneumatic mail tubes
rendered in distributing mail in congested
areas, but approved flying machine mail
service between New York and Washing
ton, where there was already ample and
adequately frequent service. Perhaps ii
wasn't the mentality which was affected,
after all.
John E. Milholland, for many years an
eminent figure in American public life,

corruption in the recent administration,
which went far in destroying the costly
system of mail tubes erected by the gov
eminent, the efficiency and worth of
which has been repeatedly proved by
numerous investigations. Mr.. Milholland
SAYS:
"Away back in the Victorian era,
pneumatic mail tubes were introduced in
the chief European capitals. Today, Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and

For more than twenty years following
the close of the Civil War, Henry w.
Grady of Georgia did more than any
other son of the South in reconciling the
ntagonisms between the South and the
North. Mr.. Grady was a forward look
ing statesman and a scholar and as lee
turer he was without peer in all the
South. In addressing the New England
club in New York City in 1886. among
other things he said: "We have learned
that one northern immigrant is worth
fifty foreigners, have smoothed the path
southwark, wiped out the place where
Mason and Dixon's line used to be and
hung out the latchstring to you and
yours" AS result of this wise policy
he remarked: eve are now ready to lay
odds in favor of the Georgia farmer who
is squeezing pure olive oil out of his cot
ton seed, and against the downeasters,
who, before the war, snapped their
wooden nutmegs for red flannel sausages
in the valleys of Vermont" A well
known Belfast man, recently sojourning
in Tennessee, had his attention called to
a large factory and asked what was be-
ing manufactured there. His guide
proudly answered: ''The girls of Tennes-
see are making silk hosiery out of Geor-
gia cotton"
''The South is in the saddle" There
is no longer any doubt about that.

A Southern Woman

While we all know why we observe
one day each year as Memorial Day to
honor the memory of the brave boys who
laid down their lives for their country,
there are, perhaps, many who do not
know the origin of the custom.
Its observance came from a suggestion
made in 1866 by lady of Columbus,
Georgia. She was the wife of an officer
who commanded the first Georgia Regu-
lars, and who died in the service. After
his death she devoted her life to the care
of the Confederate soldiers, doing every
thing in her power for their comfort and
welfare.
One of her annual customs was to
decorate with flowers her husband
grave on the anniversary of his death,
April Goth. On one occasion her little
daughter accompanied her and assisted
in the work. Finally her mother missed
her and at the same time noticed large
proportion of her flowers were missing.
When the child returned her mother
said, "Why, Florence, you have carried
away nearly all my flowers" "Oh, but
mamma, they were all soldiers, too.''
The little girl had scattered her flowers
as far as they would go on the graves of
the soldiers buried nearby.
This incident brought to mind the idea
of devoting one day annually to decora-
ting, in loving memory, the graves of the
men who wore the gray. The idea was
readily adopted and ever since, April Goth
has been observed throughout the South
as Memorial Day, with the exception of
South Carolina. That State for some
cause, unknown to me, observes May 10.
And now to the nations credit every
State in the Union unites in honoring and
keeping green the memory of the brave
sons who sleep in hallowed ground, the
blue and gray alike, for it is national
holy day.
She died in 1874 and was buried with
full military honors, and every year low
ing hands decorate her grave with beau
tiful flowers.
