On that day, in every part of America, loving hands bear bloss- oms to the graves of our patriot dead. This year, the significance of the day will have crossed the seas, and equally devoted hands will strew the new-made graves of our soldiers in Flanders and France. However far from home these graves may be, they mean the same sacrifice for the same sacred cause as do the graves which we shall decorate at home. It may be that in future ages our own Memorial Day shall be extended to every land which now is fighting for its liberties and independence in this war. It may become the day when all nations, now united in our great cause, shall resolve anew that their common sacrifices shal not have been in vain, but that they owe it to the memory of the uncounted dead to preserve peace forevermore among 'themselves, and for all the world. But first we must win. Memorial Day this year will also mean that whatever the cost, what- ever disaster may come, we shall forfeit the right for all the future ta garland these graves, whether old or new, on Memorial Day unless we shall prosecute this war to a success- ful end. Therefore, IT urge that our people specially observe Memorial Day this | year. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of State at the Capitol in Springfield, this Fourth Day of May, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine . Hundred and Eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States the One Hundred and Forty-second. By the Governor: L. IL. Emmerson, Secrétary of State.
