MEMORY'S TRIBUTE

Cor the veterans who yet remain with us
this verse is respectfully submitted)
Today the beat of loyal hearts
Keeps rythm with measured tread.
As we review the hallowed plot
Where rest our honored dead,
We bow the head in tribute meet,
To those who rest beneath this sod,
For here lie soldiers brave and true,
Who loved their country and their God.
In blue and grey, are gathered round,
Grey veterans few, to greet,
The younger ranks in kahki brown,
Slow marching thro' the street,
And those ranked, round each Lowry
mound,
The floating glory flags, beneath.
With rev rent hearts and loving hands.
They stew the flowers of memory's
wreath.

pressing the hope that England and
the United States would unite after the

adjusted by peaceful arbitration at

In this sacred work." the latter mes

because Of the fright given to resi-
dents of Westc. ester by the murder
of Charles Secord under an electric
light on busy Mill road in East.
chester Tuesday night, the police OF
that town have been flooded with re-
quests for permits TO carry pistols
under the Sullivan law. Farmers and
others who have occasion TO drive after
nj htfall along the roads of that sec
ton and tradesmen who have never
owned weapons have asked the neces-
permits.
Telephones are also in greater de-
mand in the more isolated homes.
The requests for pistol permits Will
probably be approved when the town
board meets next week.
The murder, because Of its boidness
and the clear escape Of the slayers,
has also aroused world Of criticism of
police methods used IN the Secord
case. These have been described as
lax in the extreme, some going so far
as 20 say that the fundamental prln-
ciples of police work, such as the I'M
mediate searching Of the vicinity for
clues and the watching Of avenues OF
escape were neglected for the more up
