It will Bee the final fruiting of a national, official sympathy "vvitfc the bereaved who have lost son# brothers and sweethearts in their country's service. It will Vltness the final result! Of the nation's attempts to do all things possible? fOr those bereaved and for the memory of th# dead. It is a big task, and the manner of its accomplishment is the story of a tribute paid to que of the noblest sentiments that has ever .been lodged In the breasts of a people. V yln that attempt, since 1900. for instance, the tfnited States government has supplied free of charge 150,000 headstones to mark the graves of soldiers and sailors who have done her service. To the cemeteries of the great cities, to those Of the quiet hamlet, to those on the borderlands of civilization, these headstones have gone. This Memorial day they offer themselves to A scattered multitude as fitting placea for the be­ stowal of floral wreaths. The unmarked graves, • through the efforts of the government, are grow* tag fewer. In the national cemeteries alone there are ths ^fikmalns of 154,000 unknown heroes who have met death In the defense of their country, and -who must, because of the loss of their Identity, be denied individual recognition. Yet the nation has exhausted every resource In attempting to find .the names of theBe heroic dead. The very futil* tty of these deaths, from the standpoint of the credit received by the men as individuals, calls - forth a sentimental appreciation of their service that overshadows that aocorded the men with ths handsomest monuments. The unknown are being 1 rslnterred in sacred ground, their graves ars being kept green and great monuments are being erected to them, collectively. Every effort is being made to prevent the re­ currence in the future of the tragedy of the "un­ known" grave. At the war department army regulations have been drafted and put Into execu­ tion that are so ^lgld that in the future it will be Impossible for the soldier who fights for his coun­ ty to fail of identification wherever he may fall. • , Above all this, the government has developed system of careful and generous disposition of the remains of the dead soldier or sailor that offers the greatest possible recompense to the aggrieved and the best possible chance for the perpetuation of the memory of the gloriously dead, for the remains of any man who dies in the Bervice, wherever his end may come, are transported to any other spot on the globe that be designated by his family and there given bur­ ial with military honors. All this is at the ex­ pense of the government, for the glory of the dead and the consolation of his family. Finally, the government Is marking the grave* Ud placing monuments over the remains of the Confederate soldiers who died in the northern prisons and hospitals during the Civil war. Wherever any man dies for whom it can be shown that he ever served in the United States army or navy, the- Federal government stands - ready to furnish for his grave a headstone of marble neatly inscribed with his name and indi­ cating his military service. The government has S large contract with a firm in Massachusetts to furnish these headstones. Under the contract 20,000 such headstones were delivered last year. An average of 15,000 a year have been so deliv­ ered for the last score of years. Since this pol­ icy of marking the graves of the military dead was Inaugurated In 1878 there have probably been 600,000 stones that have gone forth and Which are today standing over the graves of men who once fought for their country. The na­ tion is willing and anxious to continue their dis* trlbution of monuments free of charge, with freight paid to any point. It is hoped that event­ ually every grave of every soldier will be marked with a stone that will survive forever. The graves of all soldiers and sailors who are burled in national cemeteries are so marked when the identity of the individual is known. There are some 80 such cemeteries with a total of 300,000 men burled in them. But of this great aggregate of assembled dead of the military there* are 154,000 buried beneath the slab of the "un­ known." There are Seres and acres of these white headstones that mark the graves of soldiers whose Identity was never established. At Fred- •ncksburg, Va., there is another 12,000 graves of men whose mothers never knew where they rest­ ed. There are 9,000 of them at Memphis; 12,000 ^at Salisbury, N. C.; 5,000 at Richmond; 4,000 at Nashville, and similar and smaller numbers scat­ tered over the country as a whole. At the great* •st of the national cemeteries, that at Arlington* opposite Washington. D. C., there is a single great monument that marks the burying place of 2,111 unknown soldiers whose remains were gathered from the battlefields of Virginia. But the unknown population of the national aemeterie8 Is to be prevented from largely In- . diseasing. / Today when a man is Inspected for 4ctive duty , ' metal tag- of Identification Is a part of hia <stRAvtf of <Z5Jv i*m, equipment When men go into the field of active service each wears about his neck a piece of tape, and hung upon that tape there is a metal tag which contains his name, the branch of the service to which he belongs and his particular regiment and company. This tag is made Of aluminum and the lettering is stamped into It. It is practically indestructible. If a man is killed In battle he may always be identified. When the Identity of the individual has been established the department will communicate, With his relatives. If they desire his remains* these will be prepared for transportation to' the' old home. They will be brought back to his owtt people to be buried as they wish. All expenses Will be borne by the federal government. If the relatives of the dead soldier or sailor prefer that he be buried In a national cemetery they may so order, and the orders will be carried out to the letter. -V* There kre the men who have died in the Philip- nines, for instance. None of these are left to rest In this foreign, tropic land. All are eventually sent back to the states. Relatives are Informed of their coming. They may order the disposition of the remains as they see fit. In case there 1* no call for the remains of the Philippine vet­ eran, his body is interred in the national ceme»' tery at San Francisco and duly marked. During the Civil war there were great numbers' Of Confederate soldiers taken prisoners and held In northern prisons.^ Many of these died in these , prisons, and many others, suffering from wounds and disease, died in the hospitals of the Union forces Two years ago the federal government appropriated 8200,000 to mark the graves of these Confederate soldiers. That money- is now being expended. The task 1s practically com*- pie ted. The Confederate dead are thus being honored in the land from which came their ene­ mies la the monster conflict. - At many of the prisons the dead Confederate# Were buried jeparately, and their graves were' marked with their names. In these cases the graves are being permanently marked with head­ stones of a design different from those used fo*' the Union troops, but in no way less imposing. There is the cemetery at Elmira, N. Y., fori Instance. The resting place of the Confederate dead at that-point is no less beautiful nor wall' cared for than are any of the national ceme­ teries. But In most Instances it was found that the dead had been buried in trenches, as were most Of the dead on both eides in that war. Here It Is impossible to identify the individual remains, but the names of all the men buried in given trenches are to be found In the records of the prison. aIn such cases one Imposing monument in erected over the spot and the names of all the dead resting there are Inscribed upon it. Such a monument has been erected at Camp Douglas. Chicago, and upon It are names of 4,275 Confed­ erates. At Point Lookout are the remains of 8,300 prisoners who died, snd their resting place has been marked by a similar monument The same course is being followed at Finn* Point. N. J.; at Alton, 111.; at Camp Morton. Ind., and at Camp Chase, Columbus, O. All such burying grounds were marked by Jan. 1. 1912, and the commission appointed for that purpose disbanded. The federal government has taken no Sctlon tpward marking the graves of Confederate sol­ ders other than those who died in northern pris­ ons and hospitals. But throughout the south ths . various organizations, such as the United Con­ federate Veterans and the Daughters of the Con­ federacy, have given ample recognition to the men who died for the southern cause. * Their bodies have been gathered in special cemeteries, monuments have been built In their honor and t}»elr graveB have been appropriately marked. ' In the south on Memorial day thereare often , enacted scenes that are even more touching than those in other sections, for there the veterans of both causes, those who wore the blue and those who wore the gray. Join hands in honoring the military dead- Oftentimes the uniforms of ths two causes, worn by men in the very eventide o^ life, are in evidence and old animosities are bcried in a realization of the valor of both com- bfcumts and the fact that each fought for a cause he deemed the right. Of g&OpVU, ZHOMBS But everywhere under the Stars and Stripes en Memorial day there is an outpouring of those jfrho pay homage to the soldier dead. Every­ where is evidenced ' the thoroughness and effi­ ciency 6f the nation's attempt to take care of Its - ^^®*d and assure the perpetuation of the name ^ :'Jlnd the credit of the martial hero. Twelve freight trains of 25 cars each would , |>e required to haul the money in SO-dollar gold pieces that this nation has paid out in pensions to the veterans of the Civil war. Ten freight •iars would be required to haul the money in gold that the nation pays to its veterans in a single year. These amounts promise to be greatly aug­ mented by legislation now pending before con­ gress. The pension office In Washington is the pri­ mary monument in honor of the old soldier. It ,Vas built with the particular Idea in mind of furnishing a clearing house for the gratuities which the government extends to him. It Is the largest building ever erected by the federal gov­ ernment. The maintenance of the pension service alone In Its handling of the sums that go to the pensioners cost the government 82,650,000 last year. The net sums paid out In pensions has during the last few years ^mounted around fl60.000.000 annually. This appropriation would mean a couple of dollars to every man, woman and child In the nation. Indirectly every man, woman and chiVd contributes a couple of dollars to 11 The government has expended In pensions to date for all the wars of the past a little over $4,000,000,00®. Of this 83,000,000,000 was received fcy Civil war veterans. Four billion dollars ts an 'enormous amount of money. There is at present In the United States, Including all ths gold, silver and paper money In all the treasuries, banks, , wallets and old socks, but 83,556,000,000. This Is to say, there Is not enough money in the United States today to pay, at a single time, the pensions that the Civil war veterans have re­ ceived. So, in the course of drawing their Stipends it. is evident that the pensions have at One time or another had all the money there Is. There Is but 81.750,000,000 In gold coin in the United States. There 1b not half enough gold coin fin existence to have paid these pensions had the call come all at once. The government has paid out altogether 250 carloads of gold coin In pen­ sions. All its gold might have been nsed two and one-half times over In the process. If this twelve tralnloads of gold were loaded at once It would require but nine additional tralnloads to haul the balance of the gold coin of the world. These pensions are paid quite cheerfully. Therd Ib hardly a dissenting voice in congress when a proposal to increase pensions is Introduced. The people approve of the action. They worship at the shrine of the martial hero and are willing at all times to be ta^ed that he may be given further pittances. . The pension appropriation Is the largest lnd! . Vidual item when, each year, congress makes up the list of governmental expenditures. Yet scarcely a voice Is raised in disclaimer. Admin­ istrations may lay heavy stress upon the pre 'gram of economy, but no suggestion Is ever made that the pension roll be cut. When measures j Of pension increases are brought before congress not even the Democrats vote against them. When Investigating committees go roaming through government departments In search of financial leaks the pension office Is clear-listed and no questions are asked. The veteran and his pen- > alon are held sacred. - When the question Is raised as to who shall ^secure position under Uncle Sam. the veteran is again given the" advantage. In the civil service. In the first place, the age^ limit Is removed from the old soldier. Be his age what It may. the positions are all open to him. In the examina­ tions that must be taken under civil service rules the veteran need secure an average of but 68, while the civilian must rate at least 70. No Escape.

State Convention of Red Men, Some time during the month of May 1914, Springfield will entertain at least 1,000 delegates to the fennual state convention of the Independent Order of Red Men. ( At their annual convention In Jack­ sonville, members of the order decid­ ed to make the capital city of the state their next annual meeting place. A number of cities requested the honor, which finally was awarded to Springfield following efforts on the part of Secretary Harry M. Snape of the Sprlqgfleld Commercial associa­ tion. Besides the delegate representa­ tion at the annual gathering there will be a large attendance of the De­ gree of Pocahontas, a sister organisa­ tion of the order, and an effort also will be made to have the annual meet­ ing of the national organization held in this city In conjunction with the state meet.

Governor Edward F.

On the house side the fish and game committee took up the same bill, and referred It to a subcommittee with di­ rections to report back to the full oomnilttee next Tuesday. It is said to be possible some kind of an agree­ ment will be reached by which the bill can be passed. Another administration measure, this one authorising cities, on a ref­ erendum vote, to acquire and operate public utilities, was passed by the senate--yeas 38. nays 0.

Ohio, in September, 1918. Governor Is Given Report. Gov. Edward F. Dunne ha# batf'enb- mltted to him an exhaustive report of the lnvestigatlgn-._£onducted by the state board of administration into the cause of the de^th of Carl G. Hoist, a patient from Ford county. Hoist's death was. followed by seusatlonal charges of cruelty on the part of em­ ployes of the state hospital, and the Kankakee county grand jury criticized the treatment of patients In Its inves­ tigation of the case. The special re­ port shows the chargee were ground­ less. ' :V« "iJ 'a .A,* . J. H. Crowder of Bethany was elect­ ed department commander of Illinois at the close of the forty-seventh an­ nual G. A. R. encampment in Alton. He received 250 votes. Hia opponent,. John M. Snyder of Canton, received 72 votes. The contestants conducted their campaigns like regular politicians, and succeeded In arousing such a lively Interest that when the balloting began all the old soldiers tried to vote at the same time. The crowding and jostling became such that some of the veterans lost their hats and their badges were rubbed off their coats. The next annual encampment *f|l be held at Mattoon. J.ust before the meeting adjourned 84 delegates were elected to attend the national G. A. R. encampment, which will be held In September in Chattanooga, Tenn. Other organizations that elected delegates for the national encamp­ ment were the ladles of the G. A. R-, the Women's Relief corps and the Daughters of Veterans. The latter society also elected Its officers .for the year. They are Mrs. Drusllla In- galls Thayer, Chicago, president; Mrs. Estella M. Moore, West Pullman, senior vice-president, and Mrs. Pearl Sti&neta, Chicago, Junior vice-presi­ dent. Many Discussions at Meeting. The thousand odd doctors assembled at the sixty-third annual meeting of the Illinois Stote Medical society in Peoria pointed out where reorganiza­ tion of state institutions is needed to conform to professional standards of the present day. The members de­ fined their attitude toward some of the latest discoveries In medical science. Dr. T. H. D. Griffiths, registrar of the state board of health in Springfield, in his paper on "The Status of Vital Sta­ tistics in Illinois and Our Obligations,'* deplored the absence of records Of human life in the state. "In Illinois a human being may be born, educated, live an honorable and useful life," he said, "but after his death not one page In a record books bears witness of his existence." "There will be born In Illinois this year about 150,000 children. Of these 20,000 will die before their first anni­ versary, from diseases of which 60 per cent, are preventable. Prompt and accurate birth registration is the foundation of all measures directed toward the prevention of infant mor­ tality. "The fault In onr state Is not so much a lack of law as the absence of law enforcement. Notwithstanding the requirement that every birth shall he recorded with the county clerks, and ^pbyaicians and coroners shall re­ port all deaths, a penalty being pro­ vided, today less than 75 per cent, of deaths and 55 per cent, of birthB are recorded. Our death rates, when pub­ lished, are useless, except to indicate the deplorable condition of our . vital statistics." * Doctor Griffiths recommended a pending bill which has passed the sen­ ate and is now before the house. It provides a complete registration of births and deaths, embodying ths es­ sential features of a "model bill" In­ dorsed by the society. Before the section of eye, ear, nose and throat a paper was read by its chairman, Dr. Willis O. Nance of Chi­ cago, on the subject, "What Illinois Can Do to Prevent Blindness." "It is estimated th$re are 2,000,000 blind people in the world. Of these practically 800,000 are needlessly so. In other words, 40 per cent, of blind­ ness is preventable. "At least one-fourth of the cases of preventable blindness are due to In­ fection of the eyes at birth. This In­ fection can be prevented by careful cleansing of the baby's eyes and in­ stilling a drop or two of nitrate of silver solutloh. Most physicians em­ ploy these drops, and as a result few cases of 'baby's sore eyes' occur In their practice. The Illinois medical practice act, however, prohibits any other than a licensed physician from using 'any drug or medicine'; as a result the preventive drops are not employed by mldwives, who do prac­ tically one-half of the obstetrical work In Chicago. , "An amendment to the mefiitil laws of this Btate allowing the use of this preventive by these attendants would be the means of saving the sight of hundreds of infants annually. "The cost of educating a blind child In Illinois is about-8300 a year; that of a seeing child in the public schools of Chicago about 834. The excess ex­ penditure for the education of a blind child to the state is approximately 83.000. Should he live the normal period, It is estimated that there is a clear economic loss of not less than 810,000. "Two cents expended for the nitrate of sliver dropped Into the Infant's eyes would save 810,000 to the state In many instances. The public gen­ erally should be advised as to the seriousness of finfection of the eyes at birth and how easily the disease can be prevented. "A campaign of education along these lines is needed In llUpois." New Corporatlone.
