Midst the sunshine and flowers Of this
May day of memories the veterans of The
Vanishing Army make their tragic march
past in review. 1t is their annual pilgrim
age to the tentinS grounds where their COM
rades sleep, and where, ere long, the vol
leys of the last discharge will sound anew
on deafened ears and the song of the bugle
sound for them the soldiers last goodnight.
They are pitiful few, these survivors of
the great war who gather today 10 do hon.

ALONG MEXICAN BORDER.
Reservation, Sixty Feet Wide, Created
by the President

The President has issued a proclamation
creating a reservation sixty feet in width
along the entire northern border of Mexico,
including the state Of California and the ter
ritories of Arizona and New Mexico. The
purpose of the reservation is declared In the
presidential proclamation to be the sup
preston of smuggling across the interna-
tional line. Private entries in the line of the
projected reservation and such portions Of
it as are needed for roads are reserved from
the operation of the order.
Since the abolition of the old zion libre
or free zone between Mexico and the Cni'ted
States 1t has been found increasingly diff
cult to prevent smuggling across the bound
airy, hence the presidential proclamation.
