 c. A. R. EXERCISES
President Decides to Participate in Memorial Services at Arlington
 National Cemetery.

Washington, May 30.-President Wilson today changed his plans and decided to attend the Memorial Day exercises at Arlington National ceme- tery. Secretary Tumulty made a statement explaining that the presi- dent was not willing that his absence should h emisconstrued."
 In announcing the presidents de- clsion Secretary Tumulty said: When the invitation was extended by the committee representing the Grand Army of the Republic of the District of Columbia. the president informed the committee hat he did not think inc occasion would be opportune for and because of this felt he must de- cline the invitation. agreeing. however. to attend memorial services at q later date.
 "Evidently a false construction has been placed upon this action, and therein lies the reason for the change fir the program.
 The president was not willing that his absence should be misconsrued."
 When it was finally announced few days ago that the president could not tvices, managers of the memorial in- vited Speaker Champ Clark to make the principal address. The speaker was at Atlantic City taking rest but changed his plans and last night re- turned to Washington and began pre- pairing his address.

FROM \ SUCCESS.

The High school juniors and other students apparently forgot there was such thing as new dances last even ing when the annual prom was held in the auditorium of the school. The steps that are now termed old fashioned were danced by the large crowd attending and appeared to be enjoyed as much as the modern crea- tions. The hall was decorated in a pleasing manner and all committees in charge deserve credit for their share In the success of the event. Judd's orchestra furnished music for the program of fourteen dances. The patronesses were Mrs. l.. P. Slade, wife of the school principal: Miss Mary Ward and Miss Mildred Weld, representing the faculty.

Naval Militiamen, patriotic societies and school chil- dren. the veterans themselves ridiur in vehicles The observance of the day was general, both patriotically and secularly. but there were no es- pecial gatherings. At Norfolk for mer President William Howard Taft addressed the veterans of Winsted, Canaan and Norfolk on the village green following a short parade in which the boy scouts, the Norfolk Guards and school children took part, the children also singing as they were gathered on the green. patriotic songs.

 v Mother is gone, for in the rush which occurred after the plunge father was swimming beside me. He helped me to reach a spar, to which we both clung until rescued by & boat.'
 Twenty-Two Women Saved.
 Only twenty-two women and two children of the many who boarded the steamer at Montreal and Quebec appear to have been saved. One little girl, Helen O'Hara swam until she was picked up, as also did Miss Thompson from New Zeland. One woman, Mrs. Greenaway, bride of a week, was separated from her husband and thought she had lost him, but the two had a happy re- union later at Rmouski.
 Tried to Save Wife.
 F. k. Abbott of Toronto told the story of how Laurence Irving died trying to save his wife. Abbott was the last man to see MT. Irving alive.
 'I met him first in the passage way" he said. and he asked calm ly Is the boat going down?' I said k it looked like 1t. 'Dearie,' Irving then said to his wife, hurry. There is no time to lose.'
 Wife Became Frantic.
 Mrs. Irving began to cry and as the actor reached for a life belt the boat suddenly lurched and he was thrown against the door of his cabin. His face was bloody and Mrs. Irving became frantic.
 "'Keep cool, he warned her, but she persisted in holding her arms around him. He forced the life belt over her and pushed her out of the door. He then virtually carried her up stairs. I asked if I could help and Irving said Look after yourself first, old man; God bless you all the same
 Abbott said he left the two, man and wife, struggling. Abbott got on deck and dived overheard. He caught hold of a piece of timber and then looked around. Irving by this time was on the deck. He was kissing his wife. As the ship went down they were clasped in each others arms.
 Dynamos Were Flooded.
 Immediately following the col lision the water, rushing into the en- zine room, flooded the dynamos, and this threw he ship into complete darkness.
 A patrol to prevent footing by beach combers was organized today. There were still several hundred bodies to be recovered.

vivors of the Empress of Ireland dis aster, wearing misft clothing, sup piled by the people of Rimouski, ar rived in Montreal today. In the party was Q remnant of the Salva- tion Army band, more than a hun dred of whom perished. Band Ser geant Fowler of Vancouver, related his experiences.
 'I was looking through the port hole in my cabin amidships," he said, when l saw a big black shape loom out of the darkness. It seemed to be only a few feet away. Then came the jolt; it could not be called a crash because 1t was more of a grinding sensation. Before I req lized what had happened my cabin began to fill with water. I rushed out of the cabin and up to the main companionway. I saw a girl with baby in her arms and a little child, aged perhaps six years, following her. The girl begged me to put a life belt on her. so I stopped long enough to do this"
 Sergeant Fowler Jumped.
 By the time Fowler had reached the deck. he said, the ship was list ing badly and the passengers had to cling to the rail to keep from going over the side. Fowler jumped.
 II went down. and down until I thought my lungs would burst" he said. Bodies bumped into me. Once man threw his arms around me and l had to fight to break his hold. I swan several hundred feet and was almost exhausted when q boat picked me up"
 Thomas Smart of Toronto said that when the crash came he saw Cap tain Kendall on the bridge. He was holding on to the rail, shouting orders to the crew. Keep your heads, there. and don't get excited" said the captain.
 Captain shouts Orders.
 When a boat dropped sideways into the water, the captain seemed to re- alize that the liner was lost, for he shouted Hurry up, there, every body. There is not minute to lose. Get the stewards through the corri- dors. If there are doors locked. break them in. Get the people out. and don't forget that the women and children must come first"
 He spoke through a megaphone," said Smart, but there was so much screaming and moaning that his voice was drowned. He stuck to his post to the very last.
 When l got into the Lady Evelyn saw him stretched out there and they were giving him some brandy. When he was able to speak, he looked around and asked Where's the ship?

her appeals were caught by the wire less operator at Father Point. The passengers saved were landed at Rl- mouski and others at Father Point. The steamer went down about thirty miles from Father Point. Father Point sometimes called Farther Point, is post village of Rimouski county, Quebec, on the south shore Of the St. Lawrence river, near the mouth of the Rimouski river.
