So In half a century Memorial Day has come" to have a new meaning-- with more soldier dead,,, alas, and with more graves for decoration-- but also with more heroes and with new responsibilities and new Ideals. Half a century ago Memorial Day In Its beginnings was an American holy day. for our soldier dead lay here at home. Memorial Day in 1924 will be observed the world over, for our soldier dead are scattered to the ends of the earth. We, hero at home, who can do no better, wear poppies In their honor and entrust to other hands the strewing of blossoms "Over There." " In the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, No. 1,232, Romngne-sous-Montfaucon (Meuse), France, lie 13,938 of our soldier dead known and identified,' and 483 unknown. Loving hands, American and French, will pay tribute with flowers. And there will be no dearth /)f blossoms in the other overseas American cemeteries--St. Miliiel, Somme, OIse-Aisne, Aisne-Marne and Suresnes in France- Flanders Fields In Belgium, and Brookwood in England. , Row upon even row they stretch. A wh-tte and shining multitude; Line of Crosses on the soil of France.,- To mark the pligrhted brotherhood That knew no barrier, no breed. When heroes side by heroes' stood. Said Myron T. Herrick- American Ambassador to France, at the dedication ceremonies last year; We are assembled here as we were last year aqd' in the years before: and as will others be In all the years to come, to do honor to the men who died in France In defense of our honor and the world's liberty. MAR ivfrrcsKiAJr Diverse indeed "were the tongues and races that made up the A. E. F. In life America's fighting men came from the ends of the earth. In death they lie as far-scattered. Uncle Sam, responsive to the call of bereaved hearts, has sent these soldier dead to rest at home In Italy, Irelund. Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Scotland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Finland, Sardinia and even China. One likes to think that not one of these far-flung graves wlM be forgotten on Memorial Day.

The others seated Inthe picture, from left to right, are a Spanish-American War veteran, a Union Civil War veteran, a Confederate Civil War veteran and a Mexican War veteran, now ninety-five years of age. Standing, from left to right, are a World War veteran and commander of the local American Legion post, a Civil Y7t nurse and a World War nurse. «5eittt-d In front and qot the least interesting of the group is a member of the C M. T. C. He Is Interesting because of his potentialities. To him the future of the nation is to be entrusted. What situations will lie be Called upon to meet? And will he meet them? Why doubt? Old Glory has never yet been lowered in defeat. In the meantime this C. M. T. C. young American is symbolic of a preparedness that does not exalt militarism and should further the cause of peace. This summer there will be many thousands of him--including the two sons of President Coolidge. The veterans in this Camp Sam Houston group suggest that the ranks of both the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans ore thinning fast. The time is fast approaching when there will be^o more Blue and no more Gray--only the Khaki which grew out of the Blue and Gray. The latest pension figures give a hint of the way the veterans are dropping from the tanks. Pensioners for the fiscal year ending June SO. 1923, numbered 589,76#. as compared with 547.01* for tlie fiscal year ending June 30, 1922. The amount « of money paid out for pensions for the fiscal year of 1923 was $263,012,500. as corppared with $258.- 807.583. an Increase of $9,204,917. Soldier pensions of the Civil war decreased by 26,250 during the last fiscal year, the number being 193,881 in 1922 and 168.623 In 1923, while the widows of Civil •war veterans drawing pensions fell from 272,104 In 1922 to 264.608 in 1923 a reduction of 7,614. r> I'ensloners of the Spanish-American war were ln- : Creased during the year by 22.438.

It brought some 46.000 soldier dead to America. Approximately 30,000 were concentrated in the American cemeteries overseas, and "00 were sent to foreign countries. * A colossal work and well performed. Let as do honor to those who did It. Those who picture the bringing in of the dead of a combat organization as a leisurely occupation performed tffter fighting and firing has ceased, might turn to the report of General Pershing describing the fighting of late April, 1918, and read: --^ On April 20, Lieutenant McCormick and his group arrived at Mandres and began their work under heavy shell fire and gas; and although troops were in dugouts, these men immediately went to the cemetery and in order to preserve records and locations, repaired and erected new crosses as fast ae the old ones were blown down. They also completed the extension to the cemetery, this work occupying a period of one and one-half hours, dur» Ing which time shells were falling continu'oustyand they were subjected to mustard gas. They gathered many bodies which had been first in the hands of the Germans and were later retaken by American counter-attacks. Identification was especially difficult, all papers and lags having bee» removed and most of the bodies being in a terrible condition and beyond recognition. The other pictures are equally suggestive of phases of the observance of Memorial Day. Surely It is Inspiring--the group picture made at the opening of the Citizens' Military Training Camp at Fort Sam Houston. In the center, seated. Is Gen. of the Mexican war drawing pensions from the government. Widows being pensioned from the •War of 1812 declined from>49 to 40. Another picture shows Prof. Edwin D. Meany and Duvid Spaulding unveiling a bronze tablet on the campus of the University of Washington In honor of fifty-seven men and one woman who gave their lives for their country in the World War. The sense of responsibility iq the youth of the day Is one of the things that gives us hope. All the college men were valiant In the World War--as "In every war. There was intense love of country and a passion for service no less strong. It Is the picked youth of the country--the high school boys and college undergraduates--who are resorting voluntarily to the military training camps. Doubt- Mess they hate war, but doubtless they intend to be ready for Intelligent service In the next war--if it comes. The Washington Monument at the capital Is impressive-- perhaps there is no more impressive memorial on earth to a human being than this great shaft in honor .of the "Father of His Country." The Lincoln Memorial at the capital is beautiful-* perhaps there Is no more beautiful memorial on earth to a human being than this temple erected in honor of the "Savior of His Country." The recent unveiling of the sculptured head of Gen. Robert E. Lee suggests that the great Stone Mountain memorial to the Confederate army will be unique among the memo* rials of the world. "Tons of granite were let loose from the scaffolding 400 feet up the mountainside. The loosened stone crashed to the ground with a roar and two American flags slowly unfurled, disclosing the features of the Confederate chieftain. In the sculptured area waved the ' stars and bars of the ^Confederacy. Those present at the ceremony Included governors of the several states, MaJ. Gen, David C. Shanks, representing the army, and Bear Admiral James G. ^Williams of Charleston, S. C., representing the navy. Daughters of the Confederacy and hundreds of citizens also witnessed the unveiling. Lee's head which la eighteen feet in height, la but a unit In the great memorial now being carved on Stone Mountain. When completed the memorial will cover an area of 1.300 feet by 140 feet and embrace some 700 figures, depicting In granite the history of the Confederacy. Stone Mountain Is in Georgia and Is 700 feet high, and the face being curved Is almost perpendicular. Hardin* and Wilson I The thoughts of the American people will turn on Decoration Day to these two great leaders whc> have "Gone West" since the last* strewing; of blossoms on the graves of the soldier dead. "Gone West" is appropriate, for they fell in the service of their country as surely as any fighting man on the firing line. No finer tribute can be paid to Harding and no juster estimate made of him than in President Coolldge's Eulogy broadcasted to the nation. President Coolidge began • his address with a reference to Leigh Hunt's poem, "Abou Ben Adhem," in which an angel writes the name of him who loves his fellow man at the head - of the list of "those who love the Lord.* Ha then aald, In part: • % It will be hard to find a better picture than this • <Jf President Harding, the man we loved and mourn. He loved hl.i fellow men, and because they felt It and knew it. they loved and trusted him. He set an example of readiness to cast away th4 sword. He sought for nations a peace--the only true and lasting peace--based on Justice and right. He stood first and firm for his own country, then for mankind. His sincerity and frankness won to his side those who sensed the great truth of human brotherhood. He led the way to the accomplishments ot the Washington conference on limitation of arms-' men* Iris life became, In rthe tragic sorrow of its end, a lesson in the value "of simple, and modest ways. We mourn him today, and we shall mourn him so long as remembrance holds before us the pictures "of his patience, faith and Christian tolerance. These _*fe rare virtues, too seldom'found among the men who have the strength to rise to high places. We may Well hope that his example to his own countrymen and to the world may help to bring a spirit of charily, accord and true fraternity, whereby shall be lighted the lamp of understanding to •how our feet Into the paths of peace on earth, good will to men. Wilson's stubborn battle against death was typical of his career. He was a fighter wife never gave up. He elected lo go down with colors flying. The undaunted spirit remained undlmuied to the end, and those last moments must have beei} fortified by the conviction that his fight had not been In vain. For he appealed to the conscience of the world and that appeal is slowly bearing fruit. Many are they who pronounce him the greatest personage produced by the World War. Let the man speak for .himself--In his proclamation of dedication read during the ceremonies at the dedication of the majestic memorial amphitheater in the National Cemetery at Arlington. It reads, in part: The dedication of the national memorial at Arlington closes and commits to history a great episode in the making of a nation. Gathered In this national cemetery and elsewhere are most ot th«! men who fought out the constitutional question, insoluble by other processes, and now the government has set this great and beautiful building to stand like a sentinel On the bunks of the Potomac and to vletf for all time the capital of a reunited nation. ^ Time has thrown Its softening Influence over the controversy, time has eliminated from our memory the bitterness which that/ controversy aroused, but time has only "served to magnify the heroic valor of the captalnr'and men who fought the great fight. As the nation arose, united, It found Itself blessed With a gr<&t tradition. In these later days that tradition has nerved the arms of millions of Americans called upon to vindicate upon foreign fields of battle the principles of political liberty. They lived among our allies and faced the foe as soldiers from the New world should, conscious of their strength, confident of the cause, alike unselfish and unconquerable. And I like to think that In their hour of triumph, unseen but potent, there stood beside them the spirit of the great dead, the spirit of those who originally rescued America from the political tyranny of the Old world and dedicated and kept her free and just. I cannot attend the ceremony of this dedication, but rrty heart Is ther^i and with my fellow countrymen everywhere I JoIul, in grateful recognition of the virtues' which this memorial commemorates and in reverent thanks to the CJod of nations that He has made it possible for US In this day to show the world that America still Js baptUfed in the spirit of the founders and bulldk era. - - Try this Tomato Catsup -.»• ; - -'""--Mi , "f-- -You will notice a diflercnee 1hi»i-- r-; -"Ktf-H Monfrch and any other cinufri ftove this by giving Monarch a trial your table.
