lowing influence of time soften the bitter
ness and animosity engendered by that
strife. With thanksgiving we should
perform the solemn duty of remembering
the services of our comrades. AS we

us not forget that because of these-our
honored dead-a nation of sixty millions
of people enjoy the blessings of free
government They died that the Ma
ton might live )" they prevented gov
eminent of the people, for the people and
by the people from perishing. Nothing

The Stars and Stripes receive the profound
homage Of all the people-North, South,
East and West"
