PATTERSON IN AN ADIEUX.

Till t'We Meet on That Beautiful Shore" He Tells Boys in Gray"
 Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 13.-Col- onel Henry Watterson, veteron jour- nalist, former editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal and during the Civil War publisher of the Chattanooga Rebel, has written characteristic letter to the committee in charge of the forthcoming reunion of the Unit ed Confederate Veterans to be held here in which he expressed regret at not being able to attend.
 The letter, written from New York City, and addressed to the chairman of the committee follows
 I wish it were possible for me to attend the coming Confederate re- union. 1t is not possible, so you must taken the will for the deed.
 Chattanooga possesses many claims upon my affections. It was there that 1 found my dear wife, who after fifty-nine years of de- votion, still abides and between whom and myself the relations then established remain unbroken and unchanged. She joins me in the regret that we cannot together revisit the scenes of our early love- making. But at four score and up- ward functions of every sort are beyond me.
 Perhaps it is as we'll that I may not again look upon the thin gray line soon to disappear forever from the scenes of this world, for it might put too great strain upon an old mans renderest sensibilities.
 My love to the old boys. It can not be long when we shall meet on that beautiful shore, and when we meet, be sure the bonnie Blue Flag will be flying at the fore, and the bands will be playing Dixie on parade, whilst the pretty girls will be distributing the Chattanooga Rebel to groups of ragged red nosed angels who have not for gotten the rebel yell Sincerely,
 Henry Watterson.

AMERICA HONORS
 BRITA|N'S DEAD
General Pershing Bestows Medal of Honor on Simple Tomb of "Un- known Warricr"-As Symbol
 of Trust.

London, Oct. 17.--Upon the simply inscribed slab in Westminster Abbey which marks the tomb of Great Brit aims unknown warrior was laid to- day the highest decoration within the gift of the American people. It was the medal of honor, voted by the Congress of the United States in re- affirmation of the comradeship which united the United States and Great Britain in the World War.
 The official presentation was made by George Harvey, American ambas- sador to the court of St. James, who delivered brief address as the rep resentative of the American govern ment and of President Harding. The act of bestowing the medal was per- formed by General John J. Pershing, commander of the American armies in France during the great struggle.
 Symbol of Sacrifice.
 "One cannot enter here and not feel overpowering emotion in recalling the important events in the history of Great Britain that have shaped the progress of nations," said General Pershing in bestowing the medal Distinguished men and women are here enshrined who thru centuries have unselfshly given their services and their lives to make that record glorious. As they pass in memory before us there is none whose deeds are more worthy and none whose devotion inspires our admiration more than this unknown warrior.
 He will always remain the sym bol of the tremendous sacrifice by his people in the worlds greatest sacrifice. 1t was he who without hes itation barred his breast against tyr amy and injustice. It was he who suffered, in the dark days, misfor- tune and disaster, but always with admirable loyalty and fortitude. Gathering new strength from the felt the flush of success without un- seemly arrogance. In the moment of his victory, alas! we saw him fall in making the supreme gift to human ity.
 Pledge Trust Anew.
 sAs we solennly gather about this sepulchre the hearts of the American people join in this tribute to their English speaking kinsmen. Let us profit by the occasion and under it's inspiration pledge anew our trust in the God of our fathers. that He may guide and direct our faltering foot

HIGH TAXES CREATE PANIC.
Business Paralyzed and Food Scarce
 Puebla. Mexico.

Puebla, Mexico.
 The City of Mexico, Oct. 13.--A situation fraught with alarming pos abilities was described in dispatches received here today from Puebla, where the imposition by authorities of alleged excessive taxes has caused the closing down of large numbers of industrial plants, the complete paral- ysis of transportation facilities and the closing of many stores. Many hotels have been forced to turn out their guests, the dispatches said.
 Street demonstrations are being held daily, according to these sd- vices, and thousands of unemployed are walking the streets shouting protests.
 Articles of prime necessity are be- ing sold at exorbitant prices and the city probably will be without meat to morrow, it was said. Food from outside the city also is scarce, due to strike of wagoners.
 A committee representing seven thousand business men called upon Governor Sanchez today, the dis patches said, and protested against the enforcement of what they termed "strangle law which, they reported to have said, if vigorously applied, will result in making "Puebla, the second city of Mexico, a dead city"
 The Puebla Chamber of Commerce is reported to have advised the gov- ernor today that if the law were not modified within twenty-four hours every store in the city would be closed. Governor Sanchez, however, did not indicate whether he would suggest that the state legislature amend the law. An appeal also was made to President Obregon, but his only statement regarding the Puebla situation has been that he could not interfere with strictly state affairs.
