noon.
The Memorial day observances in
Rock Island were not this year what
they have been on former occasions :
But this fact is not due to the thin.
ming ranks in the grand army of
veterans or to waning interest in
the day when all loyal hearts pay
homage to the men who wore the
blue. The same sentiment which

"Cheers for the living. and tears for
the dead" prevails, but the condi-
tions today were such that the pub
lie demonstration was not of the Gus
tomsry proportions as a result of the
