then seen, is exemplitied in US and the
things that we do, because there IS no

/ took their places at the front Of the
platform. Colonel Boyd then read the
/ order issued by Major General John A.
/ Logan Nav 5, 1853, setting apart May
| 30 each year as a day OF remembrance,
and recited Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
| dress.
"This is one day in the city's cal
endar that Is fraught with q special
| sipnificance," said the acting Mayor.
/ ut is Just Atty years since peace set
/ tlcd upon this country and since the

"To-dav we enter upon a new hfty

out a thrill of pride and satisfaction IN
his country's history? They have left
us of the Younger generation a heritage
of duty and opportunity
"Our city has always stood at the
head of every move for patriotism, sup
plying men and money as both were
needed And these men who went have
come back 10 become some OF the most
faithful of the city's servants. The men
of the Grand Army OF the Republic

MEXICAN RAILS

Exploitation.
IBy Telegraph to tn. Tribune ]

FL Paso, Texas, May Sl.--Csrlos F.
Berna, who was once prominent in Mex
ican railroad circles, aroused intense
feeling in FL Paso when, in the course
of long tirsde against the attitude Of
the United States toward Mexico, he
said:
at is the United States custom 70
exploit a people, sell them ammunition
TO kill each other, cause untold suffer
ing, and then cover it up with q little
charity We do not want your charity.
We have never been the recipients Of
anything to be grateful for from the
United States.
eve do not want Intervention for
humanity's sake or for Christ's sake.
Because Germany laughs at the United
States is no reason why the United
States should interfere with Mexican
affairs"
Berna says his statement reflects the
sentiment of Mexicsns generally. Amer
leans here regard 1t as an insult TO the
United States. City officials say he
will be asked TO leave the border.
