Observed throughout a reunited Coun-
try, Memorial Day is peculiarly WASH

which the eyes of the enemy were ever
turned; IL was here that men high in
the nations councils in the sixties
prayed and planned for the saving OF
that nation; it was here that the martyr

teries that the dead, known and IN

Unite in HonOring Dead.
1t is abundantly appropriate. there
fore, that the Capital should give itself
over 10 the observance of the annual
Memorial Day.
Its shops are closed, its workers are
idle, its business is stiIled, even the two
houses Of Congress. contrary to general
custom, are adjourned out Of respect
TO the nations dead.
Men whose voices are daily heard in
the heat Of debate in the Senate and in
the House are today paying tribute over

and employe meet at the common shrine
of hero worship, and innocent children

It's Significance Grows.
1t is a custom that has grown in its
significance as the ranks of the vet
Grams have dwindled away. II is a
custom that sooner OF later must be
taken up by those who have never seen
the smoke Of a battlefield, nor felt the
sting OF a bullet and yet II the OBJ
servance Of Memorial Day, 1910, may be
taken as a criterion, this annual Lrib-
ute, conceived in human blood and hal

of its potent meaning when the lone
surviving veteran of this cOuntry'S two
latest wars has answered the final sum

The sound of martial music will stir
then as il did today when the veterans
filed up historic Pennsylvania avenue,
the reveille Will make the heart beat
faster, taps will tell its same story of
life sacrificed, the Tomb of the I'M

wreath, and not q grave in the most
remote section of the bivOuac Of the
dead will go unkissed by flowers or IN
