From the very inception of Memorial Day
have held it sacred. whether in attend
ance at the ceremonies at Arlington, or at
some small burial place of our noble dead.
AS the years roll by the day becomes more
and more significant To me. There are
many fears arising these days among the
old veterans and their families, that the
day and its purposes and meaning will
soon be lost sight of. In many of the
States it is legal holiday: and as such
what has it become in the majority Of
places? The general public nowadays call
it Decoration Day instead of Memorial
Day. 1t being holiday those given to
pleasure participate in horse racing, ball
playing. yachting, golf, and excursions of
all kinds. making day of jubilation; not
even giving single thought as to what
the day was instituted for. Others make
it day for decorating the graves of their
friends in all burial places, and unless a
visitor among the graves sees at the head
a small stone with name, company and
regiment upon it, he can not tell who were
those who died to save the Union. In a
great many places it is almost impossible
for the G. A. II. and its allied organiza-
tons to procure enough flowers to strew
upon their comrades graves. Little chill
dren who have solicited gifts of flowers
have been ruthlessly turned away empty
handed, with the information: I'VE want
all we have to decorate our own graves"

trated before Aug. 13, thus monopolizinc
the entire traffic two months and Il half.
Even If the corps were made less mobile
and the cavalry division excluded, the con
centration could not be effected before the
end of July.
1T is further evident that no such
monopoly of traffic is possible under the
circumstances, the army being dependent
upon it. Thus the transportation of even
single army corps from the west pre-
sents difficulties next to instrumental BILE.
1t probably will happen that certain
number of battalions and batteries will be
dispatched with q great flourish OF
trumpets, together with drafts to make
good the losses, and these will be magni-
fed into complete army corps and figure
as such on the Russian lists. 1t may be
recalled that the dispatch of the residue
of the Tenth and Seventeenth Army Corps,
each of which has an infantry brigade
already at the front, was promised for
April 1J and is already month overdue.
',rhe arrival at Kharbn Of the residue
OF these two army corps could not be Sc
cured before the end Of September. Let
us therefore hope they will carry Winter
clothing. Meanwhile the Fourth Siberian
Army Corps is struggling all over the line
of communication and no one can say
when the railway will be clear. The block
ade caused by these heavy liabilities GER
tainly has been very great, and vivid
light is thus thrown upon the situation
