NATION HONORs
ITS HEROIC DEAD
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES ARE
HELD AT CAPITAL
Grand Army Takes Prominent Part in
Services at Graves of Fallen Sol
diers-Exercises in Many
Cities
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-With SOL
emn and impressive ceremonies Mem
orial day was observed in the national
capital on more elaborate scale than
usual. Business was suspended and
people of all classes united in perpet-
uating the memory of the thousands of
heroic dead in the eight national ceme-
teries in this vicinity, soldiers monu-
ments and statutes upon the govern
ment reservations were flag-draped;
flags on all the public buildings were
at half-mast and the national colors,
with the folds caught in bands of
crepe, were displayed from hundreds
of private residences.
Notwithstanding the absence of the
president, who has been a prominent
figure in other Memorial day exercises,
the program was elaborate. The days
program included a parade of the G..
A. r., the Old Guard, Spanish war
veterans and other patriotic organiza-
tions and the militia of the District of
Columbia, headed by the United States
Marine band, decoration of monuments
and graves and addresses by men
prominent in public life.
At the national cemetery at Airing
ton, overlooking the Potomac, the prin-
cipal exercises occurred. There the pa
triotic organizations formed in line and
at the gates were greeted by a ma
tional salute fired by battery of the
United States field artillery. The 49,
900 graves in the cemetery were strewn
with flowers and each grave marked by
an American flag. A touching feature
of the ceremony was the decoration of
graves in the part of the cemetery
where lie the Confederate dead. The
tomb of the unknown dead" was deco
rated by special committee and there
the Marine band rendered a dirge, the
same program being followed in the
section allotted to the Spanish war
dead, and wreath placed upon the
anchor of the battleship Maine.
Later, in the amphitheater, with
large crowd present, the impressive
service for the soldier dead was con-
Quoted. Past Commander-in-C Chief
James Tanner of the G. A. r. delivered
the grafton. Following the exercises
the unveiling of the monument to the
memory of Major Joseph A. Mower, by
the Army of Tennessee, took place
under the auspices of that society.
United States Senator William Warner
of Missouri presided.
Former United States Senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska was the orator of the
day at the exercises at the Brightwood
cemetery.
