HoNORING THE DEAD.
Co A, c. N. G., Decorated Graves of
 Deceased Members Yesterday.

Company A held Memorial day ser vices yesterday. Under command of Captain Carter, the American hand heading the procession, the company and several ex-members marched to Riverside cemetery and placed flowers on the graves of their deceased mem Ders and that of Clarence Davenport. who died in Porto Rico. In the evening the company attended service at the Second Congregational church, where the pastor, the Rev Dr Daven- port, delivered an interesting and in- structive address. Dr Davenport de- Tended the government in it's course regarding the Spanish-American war. Speaking on this question he said: A nation may be justified in waging war for the preservation of another nation. In this case one comes so near to the other in sympathy and pity and regard that it feels it's woes as if they were it's own. And it makes strike for the others safety with the same motive, although somewhat ele vated and ennobled, that it would make for it's own. Instances of this in the worlds history are not numer- Ous. At the time of our revolution. certain citizens of France, as Lafay- ette and Rochambeau and their asso- ciates, out of pity for our struggling ancestors came to help them. And through Lafayette's influence 6OOO Frenchmen came to our relief. To the general assembly of Rhode Island Ro- chambeau said: The French troops. acting under General Washington, will live with the Americans as their brethren. l assure the general as sembly that, as brethren, not only my life but the lives of the troops under my command are entirely devoted to their service So closely did they Identify themselves with the coIonists. and so faithfully and effectually did they serve them, that probably it was their assistance that turned the scale in our favor and made America free. And we honor the memory of our no ble allies Let the beautiful bronzes tell their fame: they cannot exagger- ate our gratitude nor their worth. They helped us in q critical time and America will never forget her indeht- edness to France.s
