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.

Iljr Private Leased Wire, 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.” TO BECOME MODERN CRUSOE JUST FOR SAKE OF SCIENCE By Private l.ensed Wire.
