San Francisco did honor to the
dead heroes yesterday Requiems

annual salute. Even those who went
down to the sea in ships were not
forgotten. The Slocum made her an

Il was. d perfect day for the occa-
sion. The soil was prodigal with its
offerings of flowers. In all the ceme-
teries the mounds that marked the
resting places of the departed seemed
TO be covered by deeper banks of ever
greens and flowers than on any of the
years previous ----.--o
Many of the visitors to the ceme-
teries had weary blocks to tramp be-
cause of the lack of car service. Many
OF the tired veterans had marches as
long as they had to make in 81 or '63

of the dead were forgotten. The vet

the disaster only seems to have re-

eyes were brighter than in years.
Though there are many Grand
Army men in the city the rollcalls
showed yesterday that not one of
them had been lost in the recent dis
aster. Many of the posts, however,
have lost quarters, relics and para
phernalia.
The school children, who have all
ways been the stanch allies of the

graves of the veterans, were out in
full force yesterday. They brought
the flowers and they helped the Grand
