The Decoration day committee has issued
the following address:
The present is time of intense pa
triotism, intense Americanism, love OF
our country and alteration of our flag.
For many years since the close of
the civil conflict Of 1861 to 1865 we have
each year on the 3Oth day of May given
up our business cares and duties and
In memory of those of our heroes who
have passed over the river into the
great beyond, have shown our deep
sense of gratitude for the sacrifices
made by strewing their graves with
natures purest and most beautiful
flowers.
Recent events and conditions have
intensified the feeling and added to the
interest in, this day.
Many,a, Pasadena home has vacant
chair today because of the fact that
after thrty-three years of absolute
peace within her own borders and with
all the world, the United States of
America, cur beloved country, has
again become involved in grim-visaged
war, not of an internecine conflict with
relatives of our own flesh and blood,
but with a naughty, barbarous and in
human foreign nation, indulging In the
most inhuman acts known in modern
history.
Many of our young mep have respond
ed to the country's call, and We who
have served our country and aided in
our humble way in preserving the ma
ton, ask the whole people to unite in
honoring the memories of our late COM
rades by the observance of this day.
And when this war Is over we promise
to unite with you and yours in strew-
Ing flowers over the brave boys who
may fall in the present conflict.
