DARLING IS ROASTED ' AS SHAM PATRIOT MILWAUKEE, May 21. Colonel Jo-romc Jo-romc Watrous. postmaster of llio United States army, retired, criticises Past Coni-mander-In-Cblef James Darling as a "blab mouth" for his fiery protest against the Installation of a statue of General Robert E. Lee 'In the hall of fame, and said Darling's stylo of patriot-Ism patriot-Ism Is the veriest sham. Colonel Watrous's statement in part follows: "Darling's latest advance on tho dead enemy and his dead flag, uniform and confederacy recalls Sonator James Gordon's Gor-don's recent remark about a class In the south that Is still carrying on tho war of tho rebellion. The old sonator, himself a gallant Confoderato soldier, called the rampant fighting class that hops In the limelight on tho slightest provocation 'blab mouths,' adding that they had a small part in tho war and now have little lit-tle influence. Darling's fresh outbreak is proof that we have at least one of Senator Sen-ator Gordon's class of 'blab mouths at the north. Darling's style of patriotism Is the veriest sham."
