In the shadow of the marble sleep
ing Hon which stands as a remem
brance of the valor of the 9,000 un
known Confederate dead who sleep in
Oakland Cemetery, a lone bugler
sounded taps yesterday afternoon.
With bared heads the crowd stood
motionless until the last plaintive note
melted away. There was a moment
<tf intense silence, and the throng dis
persed.
With all the solemnity which can
arise but from the highest reverence
Memorial Day thus passed. Brought
to the highest pitch by a day fraught
with heroic reebllections of the men
who fought and lost, but who lost
gallantly, the crowd was brought to
the heights of ethereal realization in
the sweet strains of “God Be With
You Till We Meet Again.”
Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi, Flor
ida. Louisiana and South Carolina
generally observed Confederate Me
morial Day yesterday. In every cit>
and many of the smaller towns ther
were parades, addresses, decoration of
graves and other patriotic and memo
rial exercises. Daughters*of the Con
federacy in many places bestowed
crosses of honor on the veterans.

other Southern States to the north of

Memorial Day.
There were tears in the eyes of the
heroes in gray who had gathered in
Atlanta to pay tribute to the memories
of their comrades' There were tears in
the eyes of the young men. women and
children who came with them. Tne
great cemetery was covered * with a
green carpet, specked by the marble
headstones denoting the Oonfederate
dead. Upon the thousand graves of
the known dead fluttered little Con
federate flags, waving bravely in the
wind; upon the 8,000 mounds of the
unidentified dead were placed wreaths
by the children of Atlanta. Perhaps
some child unknowingly placed
wreath upon the grave of one of his
family who had fallen during the six
ties.
Cannon Boom Salute.
Booming of a salute by heavy can
non preceded the speeches of the day.
There were but two speakers, Wil
liam M. Slaton introducing the Rev.
Dr. Charles E. Lee, pastor of St.
Paul’s Church.
Dr. Lee’s talk was Impressive. He
glorified the heroes who had lain down
their lives in defense of their homes,
and defended the stand they had
taken for State sovereignty.
“Not for slavery—for that was
falsely charged against them—but for
the loyalty to their State, for a prin
ciple, did they fight,” he said. ‘‘There
wore many in the South who opposed
slavery; there were many who pur
chased slaves and set them free, but
the great bulk of the Confederate
Army, its very main strength, was
Composed of men who never owned
a slave. They fought for principle,
and thus we honor their memory.”
The parade, which required nearly
. an hour to pass, and which was two
miles in length, was probably the
greatest Atlanta has ever held on
1 Memorial Day. The veterans were
naturally the persons around whom
interest centered, and who drew the
cheers of the crowd as *they marched
along. But the great feature of the
parade were the thousands of school
boys who marched in perfect form,
and who in compact formation spread
over seven blocks.

in Memorial Speech.
MACON, GA., April 20. "I have
never surrendered the prineiples for
which I fought In the sixties, and
which I firmly believe now are right,
just as I believed then," declared
Colonel Nat E. Harris, ex-judge of
the Superior Court, and on,, of the
leading lawyers of the State, in ad
dressing the annual meeting of the
veterans at Macon to-day.
"1 am unreconstructed." he said,
"and dearer to me than all else and

principles and memories of the Con

Confederate soldier and when I die I
want to he burled in my gray uniform

All of the public offices and nearly
two-thirds of the principal stores, as
well as all of the shops and manu

were held at the city auditorium,
with Judge Augustin Daly as the
principal speaker. The militiamen
and veterans also marched to Rose-

ST. LOUIS, April 26.—It is over.
After a hunt that took him across
two continents, through the splendor
and pomp of the effete East inU) the
wilds of the Far West and the breezy
plains of the startling Southwest.
Colonel Green, who two years ago
was so hopeful and anxious to quit
his state of single blessedness for the
more tangled and troublous waters of
the matrimonial sea, has given up and
with an air of resignation announces
that he is no longer in the matri
monial market.
It was just two years ago that he
told of his desire for a wife—an old-
fashioned, modest, stay-at-home sort
of woman who would not think too
much about his money and keep a
weather eye on possible alimony. The
only trouble was the girls swamped
Colonel Green.
They all spoke at once. He knew
they couldn’t all be the kind he wunt-
so he started to weed them out.
Stork Calls on Ape
Family in Park Zoo
Baby Monkey Is the Third To Be
Born in Any American
Park, Says Keeper.
Atlanta’s zoo now ranks as one of
the celebrated lnstiutions of the world,
for last night in a box in a big oak
tree at the park a baby monkey was
born—the third ever born in a zoo In
this country, according to Dan Carey,
General Manager of Parks.
He is of the family Macanes Rhesus,
but the baby has no first name as yet.
One ape was born in Lincoln Park,
Chicago, about four years ago, and
the other in Fairmount Park, Phila
delphia, two years ago. The newcom
er is the first born in the South.
Dan Carey expects him to live and
others to be born, for he says he has
learned the proper way to keep
monkeys Is outdoors all the year
round instead of in steam-heated
zoos, as has been the universal cus
tom.
ed,
But alas! the Investigation was dis
appointing and while passing through
►St. Louis the Colonel announced quite
emphatically that he had given up his
search for the “ideal.”
Scores New York Women.
Colonel Green first started his dis
appointing quest when he arraigned
New York women. He called ’em
about everything that wasn’t nice;
said they didn’t know they had a
home; all they cared about was dogs
or some such frivolity; didn’t know
what love was and all that. To be
precise and exact, he did not care at I
all for New York women. Then some
one asked him what kind of a girl he
did like, and if he ever intended to
marry. f
From that time Colonel Green's life
becatne ono round of girls after an
other girls and women seeking in
terviews and girls and women pouring
out their affections in perfumed notes.
Some of them came from France;
there were one or two from Africa,
and, to the best of Colonel Green’s
recollections, there must have been
some from China.
But to resume. Colonel Green out
lined his “Ideal.” This is the way he
did it. Remember this was August 20,
1911:
“The only reason I haven't been a
happy husband and a father for twen
ty years is that I am a very busy man
and the girls I would have been will
ing to marry were too bashful to help
me in the courting. I’ve never been
engaged; I’ve never been in love.
“My ideal? I should prefer that a
girl should be comely. I shouldn’t
want her to be deformed, but further
than that, why, looks don’t amount to
much. She may be fair or dark. She
may be short or tall. She may be fat
or lean. The size doesn't make any
difference.”

Peerless Leader Poet, Not Statesman,
Says French Writer in Comment
ing on Proposal.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, April 26.—“Mr. Bryan is a
poet. Plato would not have such per
sons in his republic. Perhaps 'Plato
was right.”
Thus Clement Vautel, a witty Matin
contributor, comments on the Secre
tary of State’s proposal for the estab
lishment of an international court to
* arbitrate all disputes between nations.
“Can anyone Imagine,” M. Vaut .1
continues, "an injured nation rush
ing to an acropolis of old fossils and
asking whether it were permissible to
return a Roland for an Oliver? An
individual might, perhaps, be so an
gelically sweet tempered; a nation,
never.
“The government which would con
sent to such proceedings would be
promptly fired.”
This is the only comment so far on
Mr. Bryan’s proposal.

T HE SUNDAY AMERICAN to-day tells for the first time WHY
some of the greatest medical experts of the day and the
United States government have received Dr. Friedmann and
his anti-tuberculosis bacilli with skepticism.
The AMERICAN to-day presents the OTHER SIDE of the
Dr. Friedmann ease and gives the answer to the subject which
the whole country is wondering about.
Tens of thousands of victims of tuberculosis and millions of
their rlatives want to know WHY Dr. Friedmann lias been re
ceived with reserve.
The situation appears to be this:
1—Many eminent men in the medical fraternity here and abroad
consider Dr. Friedmann’s cure is not all that he claims it to be.
2—Just as many eminent physicians believe Dr. Friedmann has dis
covered the long sought for cure for tuberculosis.
3—Dr. Friedmann’s record has been watched by American medical
men for years, his cures and his failures professionally recorded.
4—Out of 1,012 cases treated by him up to 1912, Dr. Friedmann
claimed enough cures to warrant his stating to his colleagues that the
success of his cure was assured.
5—Professor Karfunkel, a German colleague, said that out of a tot il
of 200 pulmonary consumptives he had not seen a single case which did
not react favorably to the remedy.
6—Professor Schleicher, another German colleague, thought so well
of the Friedmann treatment for consumptives that he felt himself pro
fessionally bound to turn over alt his pulmonary patients to Dr. Fried
mann for treatment.
7—Professor Kausch, another colleague, said he simply could not im
agine how in a chronic infectious disease like tuberculosis one or two
injections were sufficient for a cure.
8—Another member of the Berlin Medical Society declared th~:t,
when a number of reputable physicians said they had had success with
the Friedmann remedy, “anyone who has not worked with thi« remedy
must for the time being maintain silence and await further develop
ments.”
9—The majority of the American medical fraternity, while conced
ing the Friedmann cure may have many of the virtues its discoverer
claims for it, say its introduction to the scientific world has given op
portunity for doubt and criticism.
10—The one feature most objected to is the secrecy which Dr. Fried
mann has maintained concerning its exact character.
11—This secrecy American medical men suspect has been maintain
ed in order that he may sell his formula for a large price.
12—Dr. Friedmann announced his cure under the protection of hiB
professional relations and then came to this country acting under bad
advice and sought ♦- exploit it commercially.
13—Dr. Friedmann was reputably quoted as saying he intended to
practice privately in New York and would “let those who could pay
an appropriate fee.”
14—The United State Government, through its public health offi
cials, acted to protect the people from treatment and false hopes through
the Friedmann cure until it had been proved to their satisfaction th©
cure was bona-fido.
15—Should Dr. Friedmann prjve the efficacy of his cure the medical
fraternity will be quick to forget his mistakes and give him the hono”
and credit he deserves.
16—If his treatment fails the physicians of America will never re
gret having given him a fair hearing.
NOTHING NEW IN FRIEDMANN
DISCOVERY, SAY EXPERTS
The position of American medical
men as concerns Dr. Friedmann Is
clearly set fortlt In the Journal of the
American Medical Association. In the
March 1 number this Journal pub
lishes a letter from its Berlin corre
spondent, In which was quoted a
statement by Professor Bier, director
of the Berlin Surgical Clinic, discred
iting Friedmann.
Bier said:
I must ’>ubllcly protest against
the misuse of my name for the
recommendation of a remedy of
whose effectiveness I have, so far,
no evidence. I hope that this
statement may find Its way Into
the foreign press as quickly and
as widely as my alleged recom
mendation of the treatment. It
should also relieve me of the bur
den of constantly answering let
ters and stating that I have seen
as yet no evidence of any unus
ual curative action of Fried
mann's treatment.
In an editorial, the same Journat
March 8, 1913, went to great length
to refute a statement In the Liter
ary Digest that Friedmann had' dis
covered a new- principle, and Inci
dentally supported every process
claimed by Friedmann except his
claim of the curative power on hu
man being of his turtle serum.
The editorial was headed "Misap
prehension as to the novelty of t t*
Friedmann treatment." It read:
‘'Misapprehension Treatment."
In view- of the newspaper sen
sation caused by the announce
ment by Dr. Friedmann of anoth
er “cure" for tuberculosis, it
w ould seem well to review some
of the facts previously known.
Even editors of medical Jour
nals who should be conversant
with the history of medicine and
of tuberculosis, have been led
into grave error. For example, a
recent editorial in a medical
journal from which the Literary
Digest makes the statement that
"F'riedmann came to the convic
tion that the most potent cura
tive and immunizing processes lie
in the living bacterial organism
itself, and not in the dead organ
ism, as used in the method of
Wright and his school." The ed
itorial says further, “Our own
impression from the entire debate
is that Friedmann lias enunciat
ed a principle of far reaching
consequence, and has probably
discovered a remedy that influ
ences tuberculosis favorably.”
The effect of this editorial is
to credit to Friedmann the dis
covery that In order to produce
