I wish I could bring to you a report
tl.at would allow the Initial that places
us at the top of the list alphabetical
ly. to stanf boldly for achievement as
well. That I can not do so is not due
to any lack of xealous and earnest In
terest but to the fact that we are as
yet so few In number. The sum of our
work Is a modest one. but comprises
Almost all lines of endeavor fostered
{y our society.
The mobilisation of our National
guard last summer offered opportun
ities that were promptly embraced,
hospital supplies and large quanti
ties of toilet articles much needed by
the rren were furnished, besides many
beautiful stands of colors presented
by the chapters to their local com
panies.
The celebration of Flag Day was
general and that arranged by the two
chapters of Montgomery attracted es
pecial attention since It assumed very
unexpected proportions and developed
Into a great demonstration In favor of
preparedness, In which the Govenor

fraternal orders, besides many unat

Af centuries, marched in the parade,

not even allowing a sudden downpour

A ni mber of flees and medals have
been presented and memorials erected.
I wlel. to mention especially and com
mend tc ycur consideration the action
of the Ftter Forney Chapter of Mont
gomery In discarding the usual plan
of erecting a tablet to the memory of
Its fc under, and establishing Instead,
a perpetual fund to be known as the
Amelia Ftrney Wiley Memorial Fund,
to be deveted each year to some branch
of patriotic education, thus honoring
the memory of the beloved dead and
benefiting the needy living.
Not many Revolutionary soldiers lie
burled In our state but the graves of
five have been located and marked
during the past year .
In response.to the call from the Na
tional League for Woman's Service I
have distributed to the Chapters near
ly one thousand blanks for registra
tion The lost meeting of the State Con
feret ce adopted a Flag Code submitted
by a committee appointed the year be
fore. This Code Is printed on gummed
paper ready to be put In the school

several towns with marked success and
excellent results. Approximately |50i)

to Anti-tuberculosis work. Hospitals,

ed In many cities and the work of the
Juvenile Court stimulated by our In

forth to arouse sentiment to enforce
the law calling for seats for women
clerks In our shops, and no less con
stant effort has been made to arouse
the errrlcyment of .little children In
gainful occupations. These efforts have
been, lr. a measure, successful.
Realizing that the education of our ]
children Is a most constructive form
of patriotism, we are devoting our
besc efforts to helping the mountain
and other rural districts to secure suit
able school buildings. Our state will
give these districts one dollar for
every two they raise and we are help
ing the districts to secure this state
and thus enabling them to build houses
three time better than they could pos
sibly build alone. Arrangements are be
ing madu to put up two good buildings
during the coming summer which will
bo ready fer the opening of the schools
In the fall. These schools are to be
known ar Daughters of the American
Revolution Public Schools .
I wish I possessed the gift of silver

"Ye uy they all have passed away
That nolle race and brave.
That .heir light canoes have vanished
Prom off the crested wave;
That the mighty forests where they
roamed
There rings no hunters shout.
But their name la on your waters
Ye may not wash It out.
Ye say no lover woos his maid
No warrior leads his band,
All In forgetten graves are laid
E'en the great Chiefs of the Clan,
That where the Council fires were
lit
The sheperds tends his flock;
But their names are on your moun
tains
And svrvlve the Earthquake shock".
The Poets lines are true, for our
contact with the Indian Is forever In
delibly marked; he has Impressed him
self uron our geographies our lan
guage and our literature. As a race
they have a wealth of tradition.
All we know of the Indian are but
fragmentary accounts recorded by
their implacable enemy, tfie all con
quering white man. And it Is Impos
sible for conquerors to be Just; un
consciously "mine and thine" will be
clearly seen.
The Creek Indian Chiefs declared
they were willing “for the Pale face
to have some land. There was much
wasteland.”
They were of the opinion that
"Jackson Chula” (old mad Jackson)
was Indeed land mad. In the treaty of
peacs which followed Jacksons vic
tories at Tallasehatchle, Talladega,
Enttschoptlca, Bmuckfau and Tohopka
or Horse-shoe Bend, and Floyd and
Clairbornes' victories at Antosse and
Holy Ground, the power of the Creek
were forever broken, and the mast fer
tile part of their lands and happy hunt
ing grounds, were ceded to the United
States Government.
“Alai am to the Savage
Meant his haven, loved the best.
Free from hunger, cold and ravage—
Alabama—'Here we rest.'
Gone the Indians, gone the meaning
Of the name he gave the State.”
When Jackson came Into this sec
tion he got busy, and right then he
charged things for all time; now we
aggressive Alabamalans think "We all
must toll.—none may shirk;
We have now a new translation
AlHLUUiar—I1CIQ no nuin.
The Indians had two characteristics
that commended them to all fair mind
ed people. They recognized the Great
Spirit, an 1 believed In the Immortality
of the soul; and like the Japanese, they
deemed It a privilege to die for their
people and their native land.
The time has come whenour children
and our children's children should be
taught the beauty and value, of the
past. Thlnl' of that brilliant galaxy
of Interpld heroes. Gen‘1 Jackson,
T-leut. Gen’l John Coffee. MaJ. Lemuel
Purnell Mcrtgomery, Col. Strother, Col.
Williams, I-leut. Somerville and Mor
ton. Rev. Gideon Blackburn. Jackson’s
chaplain, Sam Houston and Crockett,
and many, very many others in that
Army of two thousand, whose names
In the years to come, were written
high cn the scroll of eternal Mme.
Prior to the war of 1812, the cele
brated Shawnee Chief, Tecumseh,
whose parents were born and bred,
"not In Kentucky" but In Alabama on
the Tallaroosa river, had conceived
the plan of uniting all the western
Indian tribes from Florida to the
northern lpkes. Into one confederacy
for the purpose of exterminating the
I whites. For four years he was pre
I paring to (naugerate a general war.
Some historians claim that Tecumseh
was born ITS” In Alabama, and carried
to the far northwest and left with his
mother’s people to be educated, and
this Is generally conceded to bo true,
for it Is a fact that the ruling Indian
Chiefs received their power and wealth
from their mothers and not their
fathers. Tecumseh 1s described by his
torians. a-t magnlftclent In aspect and
propoprtlons. evually distinguished as
an orator, a hunter and a warrior.
Accompanied by his brother. Joseph
Francis the prophet, ho caJme Into the
South and commenced his crusade and
by his magnificent Ability and reputa
tion exercised a commanding In
fluence oyer the Indiana In tthls sec
tion. H> came at an eonmlsary to tha
British and was commissioned as an
officer and agent of the British gov
ernment.
Through his activity, the neutral
tribes became disaffected: hostility to
the whites wetre Intensified and the
council fires were kept burning, and
the question of war agitated among
all thrf tribes. The Cherokees and the
Chlckasaws did not take "the big talk
and their friendship for the whites
remained unshaken.
Tecumseh returned to Detroit, but
left his brother, the Prophet here and
history says the Proyhet was kill
ed In the massacre of Fort Mims with
five others of his kind. Weatherford,
known as Red Eagle was a descendant
of the drown Princes Sehoy of the
tribes of the Wind. He became a
desclple of Tecumseh. a man of kind
red spirit, and one whom history des
cribes as possessing much of Tecum
seh' greatness of Ideas handsome,
sagacious, eloquent and brave. Rut
what of the fate of the great Tecum
seh! A few years after his long visits
to the Creeks he fell on the Held of
battle of the Thames, dying from a
pistol wound Inflicted by a member of
the Kentucky long-knives. His braves
who had followed hum for 15 years
bore his bleeding body to the depths
of the forest, fat from the eyos of
the white man, they gave it hasty
but honorable burial: Persuasion threat
rewards, promises, money, glory, all
was used to no avail by the whites
to discover the burial places. The
braves died with the secret In their
Tecumseh was and Is grand In life
and In death. In the Isolation and the
desolation of his burial, he becomes
most sublime, for to this day no man
knoweth where they have laid him.
But the seeds of dissatisfaction which
he had sown while he was In the south
matured Into wide spread terror and
hideous carnage, and the terrible mas
sacre led by Weatherford at Fort
Mims sent a thrill of horror and ln
digatlon throughout all the border
states and aroused them to the nec
essity of* quick action.
George Strother Gaines was In the
employe of the United States gov
ernment as Indian agent so he sent
the clarion call to Gov. Blount of
Tennessee, and Oct. 1813, MaJ. Gen.
Andrew Jackson and two thousand
Tennessee volunteers ca meto the res
cue of the pioneers.
No one who has not read the account
oi that hard fought campaign cover
ing a period of five months, can ap
preciate the torrihie difficulties and ob
stacles which Andrew Jcckson had to
contend with and overcome difficulties
which would have proved insurmount
able to a man of less Iron nerve en
ergy, detefimlnatlon and military ca
pacity, When the Military road, known
at the War department and called by
General Jackson "the Jackson trace"
was projected and planned by the
government and placed In the hands
of General Jackson and General Cof
fee for development, both were Im
pressed with the magnlflclent possibil
ities for the settlers who would soon
lour Into this country.
It Is said that trifles sometimes
change the destiny of nations. In my
meditations, I have wondered what
might have been the result of Red
Ragles attack on Fort Mims, If Major
Beasley of the United States Volun
teer Army had been alert, and kept
the stockade gates closed, and senti
nels on duty?
The sands had drifted across the
gates in such heaps from the heavy
summer rains, that when the Rled
sticks stormed the fort the gates could
not be closed. Heroic conduct on the
part of MaJ. Beasley when dying, de
serves commendation, but It came too
late to atone for past negligence and
to save the hundreds of lives com
mitted to his care.
Burnt Corn, which was a small fight
and the Fort Mims massacre were the
only two successful engagements of
the Creeks. When General Coffee with
Jackson won the Battle of Tallase
hatchle and burnt the vlllago. Jack
son sent a message to Tennesse to
Gov. Blount, saying, “We have re
taliated tor Fort Mims.” henceforth,
victory crowned Jackson on every bat
tle field till the Creeks were complete
ly crushed.
Did you ever think wny the soldier
Is so often and more than other men
memorialized In bronze and stone For
the reason that when he shoulders his
musket, he says to the world 'I will
face death for a principle and the
good of my country," which is but
another name for “my people.”
General Jackson Is known where
ever American history is read, there
fore he la widely known. Ho Impress
ed himself so deeply on the ^public
mind that he became the seventh presi
dent of the United States, ‘The Hero
of New Orleans,' the Creek campaign
and the Seminole War
General Jackson has been honored
and memorialized in many ways, but
providence left It for the Alabama A.
A. H.'a to add a few more leaves to
his laurel wreath of fame. The work
of marking battles fields and the Jack
son Trace has been a Joy.
Talladega so rich In historic Inter
ests has a chapter (the Andrew Jack
son) who has ever done Its full share
In patriotism and good works. This
year the chapter placed ten markers
on the Trace, made of native stone and
neatly engraved as follows:
JACKSON TRACE
mi
191*
Erected by the Andrew Jackson Chap
ter D. A. R.
Talladega. Alabama
The trace runs 55 miles through
Talladega county and the two D. A.
R. chapters In the county had agreed
to dlvidu the work and we feel that
we have great cause to rejoice for
the work was completed In full as
the Joseph McDonald Chapter, at
Sylacauga, placed ten Bedford Indiana
Limestone markers on the Jackson
Trace and placed a handsome Georgia
marble marker with Its three marble
bases and bronze tablet. It is In
deed ‘a thing of beauty.' The Inscrip
tion is as follows:
JACKSON TRACE
mi 1111
Erected by Joseph McDonald
Chapter. D. A. R.
Sylacauga Ala."
The Joseph McDonald Chapter has In
spiring patriotic exercises at the un
veiling of the marble marker near the
depot: and two descendants of Joseph
McDonald (Revolutionary patriot)
culled the cords and unveiled the
marker. The names of this little red
and lassie, were Master McDonald
Phillips and little Miss Marthe Clem
Jordan. .
We rejoice with the Andrew Jack
son Chapter and also the Joseph Mc
Donald Chapter that this great work
they have so successfully accomplish
ed. Is appreciated by the Alabama
D. A. R.'s and I believe also by the
citizenship of the State at large.
There are now thirty-four spots In
the state marked, and the work has
with on exception been done by the
small chapters, e have some grand
plans made for next years work, and
chapters that have been Indifferent are

of Alabama, and the people, ln the
community will appreciate having
marked.

their next patriotic work, the mark
Ingr of the grave |n Dudleyville, ol
MaJ. Lemuel Purnell Montgomery.' The
time Is ripe for the D. A. R.’s to do
some good work at Horseshoe.
A letter from Tennessee tells me that
| there are nine markers at the tomb ol
I General Jackson, and nine patriotic
societies have honored themselves, by
paying tribute to the grand old hero.
I speak of this to show It matters
not what the government may some
time place on the battlefield at horse
shoe; If we consult the director (Dr.
Thomas Owen) of archives and history
of the State, we can make no mistake.
I have arrangements about completed
for one marker at Horseshoe. I want
to Interest the Francis Marlon Chapter
In some distinctive spot which we
would he pleased to have them mark.
The battlefield of Entiochopea should
be marked ,and I would be glad to
see Antosse and Holy Ground battle
fields marked, although they were not
Jackson’s victories.
We hope to hear from the Tohopka.
that they will adhere to their original
plan to aid In this work.
Fort Williams at Talladega Springs
Is another spot that commands atten
tion. The John Bacon Chapter at Al
exander City are actively at work on
th eplans of their markers and memor
ials. They have their funds, and are
on a trade with a marble firm In An
niston, who have’sm far done all the
work In Calhoun and for the Joseph
McDonald Chapter at Sylacauga. The
work that has been done Is beginning
to make an interesting show, and It
makes us anxious to go forward. If
we succeed In this work, In years to
come It will be a pleasing reality to the
D. A. R.’s of Alabama to write on our
banner as the sufTagrrts did when they
took part In the celebration of Wil
son’s election, these words: "We did
It."
Tour chairman was pleased to re
ceive letters from ex-Attorney General
George Sutton of Tennessee, extending
greetings, saying our last year's re
port was read and appreciated, and of
fered his assistance. He sent us val
uable data. I have also received from
Tennessee, Jackson's record as a boy
soldier of the Revolution.
Lest some might forget the admoni
tion of Pericles over the heroic dead
who had fallen in defense of Greece—
let us repeat—no wreath is given, no
monument is raised by a nation to the
memory of Its Illustrious dead, but it
blossoms with good for the living
through all future time: virtue Is en
couraged, patriotism Is kindled, and all
that la noble in our nature Is inspired
to action by this homage to the great
ness and goodness of our race. Through
admonition of what Is heroic, men rise
to higher levels. Do you not think
what is good philosophy for a Greek,
Is good philosophy for an American?

The wide-awake, live Mobile Chap

($600.00) dollars with which they are
establishing a rural school In Mobile

dertaking. for the rural communities
sorely need such schools in Alabama,
and it Is earnestly hoped that other
chapters will follow the lead of these
earnest, purposeful women.

Mrs. John E. Deloney was born in
Delghton. Ala.. Sept. 1112, 1672. She
was happily married to Mr. John E.
Deloney February 14, 1893. Most of
her married life was spent In l'uscum
bia, Ala., where she was living at the
time of her death, March, 1917.
In the passing of this beloved wom
an, Colbert Chapter D- A. R. has lost
one of Its most useful, efficient and
energetic members, and her place will
be hard to fill, for she was ever faith
ful having been our regent for a num
ber of years. She organized this
chapter on the 17th of November, 1907,
and at the time of her death was our
State secretary, having been unani
mously reelected at the eighteenth an
nual conference held in Montgomery,
December 1916.
There was a sentiment In her na
ture soft and beautiful as a vanishing
sunset, Slid sweet as the perfume of
a delicate flower. Colbert chapter, our
town, our State, will love and cherish
her memory. Her sun has gone down
but the afterglow will live forever in
the grateful hearts of those whom her
life has touched in some bright, sweet
v. ay, and while we mourn the loss ol
this beloved member, we bow to Ilia
will, who doeth all things well.

Lanier Senior Class Poem
By Miss Katherine Davis
Attracts Wide Attention
1— --1
Through the morning air trills a bugle sound,
With a note full clear, yet a note profound.
O clarion call to duty and truth, 0 clarion call to the soul of
youth,
Comrades! ’Tis the signal to forward march!
0 the morning air is fresh and clean, and it wakes our spirit
from yester-dreams,
To behold the earth in richest green, selumined with gold sun
lit beams.
0 clearest call to the hearts of all, 0 bright young day, ye beck
on all.
Hark, comrades, to the call of the morning!
Ideals that gleam from afar, and shine in our path today,
Ye thrill like the morning star that dispels from heaven all the
gray.
O, inspiring light to the eyes of man, 0, star so bright that
shines, “scan”—
Heed comrades, the hope of the future.
“Nor sit, nor stand, but go!” And out with the advancing tide,
Launch ships with the human flow, nor back to the shore ever
glide.
O tide that sweeps the furthest deep, O deeds that sowers of
good shall reap—
Look, comrades, a glance to tomorrow!
O’er the blatout earth goes forth a dull cry,*
’Tis a mocker of mirth, at its will men die.
O the cry of anguish and the cry of strife, 0 the cry of war, ’tis
the death of life—
And, comrades, there’s a call to the brave!
Who are the brave, in any fight?
Those who cleave to the standards of right.
O banner of gold with your colors so true, O emblem of right
with your noble blue,
Take, comrades, the banner before you!
O, the bugle is blowing through the morning air,
While the youth are going to the standard fair.
And the call is clear, and the call is sweet,
And there’s ne’er a fear, and ne’er a retreat.
For ’tis the clarion call to duty and truth,
The clarion call to the soul of youth,
Hark, comrades, to the call of the morning!

AMERICAN EDITOR
IN CHINA IS PLACED
UNDER HEAVY BOND
( Correa poa dr nr r of The Associated
Press.)
PEKING, Juno S.—Gilbert Reid, the
American editor placed under arrest
by consular authorities on a charge of
slandering President Wilson, came to
China from America many years ago, as
a missionary. Recently he has con
ducted the International Institute at
Shanghai, an organization designed to
harmonize the various religions of the
Orient. .
Two months ago he came to Peking
from Shanghai and became editor of
the Peking Post, an afternoon dally
said to be financed by German Inter
ests. Reid published dally editorials
in this paper over his own signature In
which he criticised the attitude of the
United States towards Germany, and It
Is charged, conveyed the Impression
that President Wilson’s views were not
representative of the views held by the
majority of the American people.
His utterances were very objection
able to Americana and the representa
tives of the Entente powers. The news
columns of his paper were filled with
Items, likely. It Is alleged, to put the
American government and the presi
dent in the wrong light before the
