To invest in government bonds requires an out

So we had better look into the Real Estate situa

time the property will be increasing in value. So
we have a chance to make money both ways. Sup

GEN. LEE WAS ENTITLED
TO VICTORY AT ANTIETAM
By Private Leased Wire.
London, Aug. 16.—The report of the
umpire on the battle Anttetam, Gen
eral Innk Hamilton, Is Just out. The
reproduction was by British regular
and volunteer troops in the maneuvers
• >n Salisbury plain. Sir lank declares
that under modern conditions Lee
would hnv^won a great victory.
General Hamilton says that the bat
tles of the American civil war are
much neglected by European students.
The chief lesson to be gained from the
reproduction of the battle of Antletntn
is that with modern artillery, heavy
Held guns, howitzers and quick-firing
ordnance field guns the position of the
defender would be changed. Instead of
being forced to withdraw over the
Potomac, Lee with these weapons could
have secured a sweeping victory.
The commander who was Lee’s un
derstudy on Salisbury plain, General
Allenby, smashed up the enemy's ad
vance and the disposition of his troops
were such that they entirely deceived
the attacking side. The Lee of to
day, In Genera! Hamilton’s Judgment,
by virtue of a line of defense tilled with
modern artillery armament can neu
tralize the numerical supremacy which
•Lee had to face.

Chicago, Aug. 16.—Declining to con
cede to Mr. Bryan the right to ques
tlon Ids Democracy or his membership
In the national committee. Democratic
National Committeeman Roger fiulll
van declares, In a statement which he
Is sending broadcast over the state,
that he has no Idea of resigning from
the committee.
In part, he says:
'‘Judgment as to my Democracy
rests with the Democrats of the dis
trlct In which I live. My title to mem
borship In the national committee bus
been conferred nnd confirmed by
higher authority than Mr. Bryan.
”In the letters attributed to Mr. Bry
an there Is this plain statement:
Sullivan was selected as‘national com
mltteeman by delegates who were not
chosen by the convention.’ If this
statement is Mr. Bryan’s, then he per
sists In a contention thut was declared
by the last Democratic national con
vent Ion to be a misrepresentation.
‘‘ft Is true that the seats of certain
delegates were contested. But thege
contests were not decided by fraud, and
*ur. Bryan knows It. Dos Mr. Bryan
den- the authority of the Democratic
national convention? The national
convention by a vote of 647 to 299
confirmed the right of the legal Illinois
delegates to their seats. Those dele
gates elected me national committee
nian by a vote of 49 to 6. The na
tional convention again confirmed that
action. To nllege fraud aguinst my
right to a seat In the national com
mittee Is to Indict the Inst national
convention and Its lenders for <
pounding a felony, (’an even Mr. Bry
on sincerely and honestly do this?
can not if he expects to accept
presidential nomination two years
hence, for such a nomination must
come from those men 1 have named
and their associates. No man, not even
Mr. Bryan, can afford to accept any
nomination, much less a nomination
for the presidency, at the hands of
men whom he believes to be abettors
of 'high crimes and misdemeanors’ and
perpetrators of fraud.”
