= Richmond Prepared To Receive All Who Attend ReUnion Richmond, Va., May 19—The sec- ond week in May finds plans for the twenty-fifth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, sched- uled to be held in Richmond, June 1, 2 and 3, all but whipped into perl‘eu shape. Work of preparing for the handling of the reunion and the vast crowds that are expected to attend has been so thoroughly distributed by the commitee system employed that Richmond will be ready to re- ceive the visitors several days before the actual opening date. The 1915 reunion, which comes fifty years after the fal] of Rich- mond and the end of the war be- tween the States, is expected to be of the utmost significance and solemn. ity. To Richmond will come the greatest gathering of survivors of the Confederate arms that has per- haps ever been seen, With them will come thousands of visitors, relatives and curiosity seekers, who will find much of interest during the week to repay them for the trip. Acceptances from many Southern Governors of the invitation to at- tend the reunion as the guests of the Confederates have been received, The bresence of so many State execu- tives will lend much to the import- ance of the occasion. President Wil- son’s reply to the invitation of the general committee is stil] in abey- ance. That he also will attend is the expectation of those in charge of the reunion. Richmond, almost to the last man, is animated with the desire to make the twenty-fifth reunion the great- est even in the memory of the old Confederates. For one week the great will be turned over to the visitors in strict truth. Rach person seems determined that busi- ness and private affairs are to give placeto the greater duty of enter- taining the reunion. Great plans have ben made for the decoration of the city and of the Court of Honor, in particular. The Court of Honor is to be located at Lee Circle, in Monument avenue, sftuation ideally suited to such purpose. Brick and mortar in alk Richmond is to be covered with flags and bunting during the first week in June and the city will in- deed present a beautiful appearance. J. M.

Want To Hear What Irish Are Doing at the Front (By Associated Press) London, May 19—A desire to hear more about the Irish regiments and | What they are doing at the front has been expressed in Parliament. “We have all heard about the London Scottish; why have we not heard of the London Irish?” was the question put to the: government, and the inquiring member addede em- Phatically, “It even appears that Some people are not aware that there is a London frish. There is, how- ever, such a body, which forms one of the battalions of the London Regiment, and it is now at the front. Why is it, then, that whenever cas- ualties occur in the London Scot- tish, which is part of the same regi- ment, the designation ‘London Scot- tish’ is appended and the ‘London Irish’ is left out?” The government spokesman haz- arded the explanation that perhaps it was because the London Scottish was an old Territorial battalion anf the Irish Rifles a new body. “Oh! dear, no,” replied the Irish member, “Long before the present war there was a reference to this battalion in the Official Army List.” The Under-Secretary could only assure the honorable member that the distinction made must be fortuit- ous and not intentional. War A Heavy Burden on Holland (By Associated Press.) The Hague, Netherlands, May 19-- Popular dissatisfaction with the heavy burden the war has imposed on neutral Holland is growing stead- | ily, and finding almost daily expres- | sion, especially among the workers.

By Hugo von Klest, L - - - B - - A | Israel Zangwill evidently bitterly regrets his early championship of the Allies., Mr. Zangwill, like many of his race, had hoped that the al- liance with Ensgland would liberize Russia. Instead of that, it has Rus- sianized England. For England has evidently taken a leaf out of the book of the Russian Censor., So scandalous is the suppression of the news that at least one newspaper threatened to appeal from the Cen- sorship to the people. But the Cen- sorship is not the only gift that Russia has brought to England; for in England the noxious weed of anti- Semitism is beginning to sprout. As Jacob Schoff, that great leader of the Jews in this hemisphere has openly stated: Anti-Semitism has been wiped out in Germany by the war, but it is gaining ground in the Brit- ish Isles. Jews are not burnt at the stake as in Russia, but they are ostracized in business; they are not jnailed to the cross bodily, but they are crucified socially. While others have been dismissed from the coun- cils of the Empire, and many have been compelled to resign from their | clubs. Russia, as Mr. Cahan, who has just returned from Europe, con.

The number of undergraduates in residence for the autumn tertd was 1,400, for the Lenten term 1,000, and it has now fallen below 900. Oriel College, chief of the ‘“‘sports colleges,” has only 18 students. Kings and Queens ‘has the most, with 60. Few of the other colleges have more than 30 or 40. There are practically no evidences of the usual spring athletic activi- ties this year, The only athletic diversion that is ‘“‘going strong” is the officers training corps. The Oxford roll of honor, which bears the names of Oxford men who have fallen in the fighting, grows apace. During the Easter vacation 43 names were added, including two lost in the sinking of the Falaba. The list includes well-known schol- ars, oarsmen, cricketers, track ath- letes, and debaters, led by one most distinguished Oxford name, Lieuten- ant William Gladstone. Side by side with the college work, Oxford is making further and ex- tensive preparations for receiving the wounded. Somerville, the larg- est of the women colleges, has been commandeered for this purpose. The members of the college are to be transferred to Oriel, where they will occupy a wing of the building, wall- ed off from the men students. bl - - T - T - T - T - T -1 o THE ALLIES VIEW = =] b= o By Albert W. Bryce k= 53 o k=] o L L= 30K -] Lord Derby, speaking for Lord Kitchener, says that the British na- tion is to be asked soon to make “additional and redoubled sacrifi- ces;” that the people must soon “‘hear an appeal to which none will be able to say nay.” In order that there shall be no mistaking his meaning, Lord Derby goes on to say, ‘I believe that a compulsory demand will very shortly be made on the men of this country.” This means that Lord Kitchener has at last made up his mind to in- stitute the conscription. And if he has made up his mind to it, the con- scription will be decreed. For the political philosophy of Mr. Asquith, Mr. Lloyd George and other Liberals at the head of the British Government, which so far re- jects the conscription ,or tries to persuade itself that a forced levy will not be necessary, will have to yield to the country’s great neces- sity.

His mission in life is to dress an- other man and act as custodian of his clothes. ‘A good valet does fully that his master is relieved from all worry about his clothes. Thus a very rich man is enabled to be- come care free regarding his trous- ers and shirts as a tramp, It will thus readily be seen thata valet is a great luxury. However, not everyone can have a valet. He is as expensive to maintain as an automobile and a lot harder to learn to run. Many a man who has wrest- ed $11,000,000 out of the stubborn Rocky Mountains after years of en- deavor has velled for help when it comes to maintaining a valet in the style to which he has been accus- tomed and has had to totter wearily through life putting the studs in his dress shirt by himself. There are few sights more painful that that of a lonely, new-laid mil- lionaire, trying to make a compan- ion and an affable human being out of a valet who has been brought up this so success- with a Duke, and getting instead ! only cold and supercilious humility, 1 Some men who have tried to win the love and friendship of a valet for several years have become so dis- eusted with the whole business that fact America produces very valets and those of a poor quality. There is something in the American atmosphere which prevents the pro- duction of perfect valets. An Amer- ican made valet may serve success- fully for a few weeks, but he is like- Iy at the end of time to bang his master's) head [against the bureau and to go away and run for alder- man.

A man who has pulled on the shoes of a British peer for twenty years is prouder of the fact than the American manufactur- er who made the said shoes. However there is one fault of the English valet when used in America. He is too cold and chilly and will not relax sufficiently to discuss base- ball with his master. In order to enjoy a valet thoroughly one must g0 to Europe, where he flourishes, and not try to import him to a soil to which he is not indigenous. ———— Probably Taking Hot Ones.
