Memorial Day in Thompson

Memorial Day in Thompson was ob- seryed this year in the usual manner oxeept that perhaps an unusual inter- sst was manifested by the people. Tbere were but twelve old veterans in line whereas we had at one time years .go more than five times that number. This is easily accounted for of course. AT The rate the veterans are passing the osonsn will soon be obliged to earrv the work on alone, for the young est of them are getting pretty old. The hav who enlisted at seventeen years of sge in '6l is now sixty-eIght and is ranked as the youngest among the men who enlisted in '6l. There are many comparatively young men yet who enlisted near the close of the war when it became necessary to recruit the depleted ranks of the army. These men will perpetuate the grand army for some years to come. They will, with the assistance of the Sons of Yet erans, rekindle from year to year the spirit of patriotism and through them will the country be reminded of it's dnty each Memorial Day. We honor the dead, not the living. The living sbouId honor themselves by being as good citizens as they were soldiers and we believe that the majority of them do.
 4 peculiar feature of Thompson Me noriaI observance is the part the chil- dren are allowed in it. It is the ehil- dFenfs hands that gather the flowers, and from their mouths issue patriotic songs and recitations. Their hands lav the floral decorations upon the graves They are imbueI with a spirit of patriotism which will remain with them through life. Thanks to the children, and God bless them and the teachers likewise who direct them in their work The veterans are thank ful 10 the cleigymen of the town, all of whom assisted us by their prayers and addresses. We miss the old boys who were with Us so long, Aldrich, our marshal; William Lynch, our soldier ly color bearer; Frank Steere, Frank ChafIee, Gib Thompson, and the two that have left the ranks since the last Memorial Day, Comrades Oscar Tour tetlotte and Allen Rabbit. Let Us hope they are all in comfortable bar racks, or bivouaced beside the silent river, where there is no war, where love aboundeth, and where there Is 8 continuous and everlasting peace. We are thankful to the GrosVenordale Company who, through the kindness of C. s. Andem, loaned Us their two large auto trucks, one of which ear Tied the "Band Canadienneo of North Grosvenordale and the Sons of Neter' ans and others. Other autos were pro vided for the veterans.
 Taken in all respects the day was well observed, perhaps in some ways better than ever before, the people showing deeper interest. Perhaps the people are beginning to realize the req significance of the war There art some adverse criticisms of the old vet erans but time must soften that, anG the generations yet to come will henol them, as today they honor the men 0f 76.

eral Wickersham expects the re-elec-

ted by Mrs. Wickersham in the capt.

tween President Taft and Mr.. Wick
ersham on the subject, but that for
various reasons Mr.. Wickersham has
refrained from making any public
statement as to his intentions. Of
ficials who know what is going on in
the inside say they would not be
surprised il Mr. Wickersham would
make the announcement that he Will
leave the cabinet almost any day.
Mr. Wickersham, 1t is seid, will re-
sign because number CT outside in
terests require his attention and he
does not feel that in justice to himself
he should keep this position any
longer.

UNIVERSITY PAPERS IN WAR
New Daily Leads to Fight With Old
Established Cardinal President
Says One Paper Enough.

Madison.-There is a university
newspaper war on. The Wisconsin
Daily News, new university paper,
has made it's first appearance. The
Daily Cardinal, which is alone recog-
nized by the university, has come out
as a morning paper.
The strife between the two waxed
hot when the campaign for subscrip-
lions began on the hill Both forces
opened up booths in Main hall, but
the janitors had received notice from
the executive Office that the Daily
News was not recognized as an Off
cial university publication and thus
had no right to canvass within the
doors of university building. The
Daily News canvassers then stationed
themselves just outside of the en-
trance where they approached the
freshmen by giving away green cap
with every subscription.
Thus the two forces battled for
subscriptions until threats of law
procedure by the Daily News manage
ment again gained entrance to the
building for the newly organized pa
per. The fight was bitter and at
tracted no little attention by the
many who visited the hill this morn
ing.
With this exception quiet marked
the opening of the sixty-second year
of the university.

Meet in Conflict, Says Lon
don Dispatch.

London, England, Sept. 24.-An en-
gagement is proceeding between the
Turks and Samians, according to a
Samos dispatch to the Times. Profit
Ing from the departure of g. French
and British warship, the SaEaian
leader, Sofulis, secretly landed body
of men from the Island of Nicaria,
which recently proclaimed it's indie
pendence. The porte has sent 500
troops from Samos to Smyrna.
st. Petersburg, Russia, Sept. "a
An investigation of conditions in Bull
garia discloses a unanimity of sent1-
ment that that country is on the eve
of long cherished war against Tur-
key. Unless the conferences which
the Russian foreign minister, M. Sazo-
noff, will have in London with British
statesmen are fruitful for Macedonia,
the war party is expected to gain the
upper hand. The army Is taking &C
tive measures. Railroad tracks are
guarded, attachments are stationed at
the bridges and requisition commits
sions are canvassing the frontier
towns. Preparations also have been
made to acquire ample provisions.
Maneuvers at 6 lumla will be carried
sut by 10000 troops, but 1t has been
decided to dispatch no further troops
reserves will be discharged. The Sc
rious situation is reflected in bust
ness and foreign branch banks have
suspended credit.
The pacific policy of King Ferdinand
Is challenged by systematic propa-
ganda for war. The massacre of 152
Bulgarians by Turks in August at
Kotschana has stirred the nation
deeply. Meetings have been held In
all parts of Bulgaria at which Turkey
has been fiercely denounced. The in
surrection of the wild Albanian tribes
has opened the eyes of Greece and
Servia and for the first time Bulgaria
faces the Turkish problem in accord
with these two countries. More i'm
portant, there is an earnest convlc-
ton that the present international sis-
uatiOn offers the Bulgarians the best
chances of success because 1t Is
thought that Austria will decline to
move owing to the internal relations
of the triple alliance.
Although Russia declares she Is not
prepared for war, it is believed in
Balkan states that she, with Great
Britain and France, is in position to
defend the Balkan Slavs. The failure
Of King Ferdinand and his ministers
to induce the powers to insist upon
the adoption of autonomy in Mace
donia or an appeal to arms will prob
ably result in terroristic excuses, as
Macedonian leaders declare they are
persuaded that only desperate meas
ures will prove effective.
London, England. Sept. 24.-The re-
lations between Turkey and Bulgaria
have suddenly become critical and 20
wagon loads of war material trans
shipped to Saloniki for the Servian
government, according to dispatch
from that city to the Times, have been
stopped by Turkish authorities. A
Sofia dispatch to the Times says the
decision to suspend or curtail the Bull
garian maneuvers Saturday was sud
den.
