MEMORIAL DAY PRocLAMA
TON.
BY Gov. Hammond.

with each succeeding year the
ranks of the Grand Army of the
Republic grow thinner; those men
who, more than half a century ago,
took up arms not for the purpose
Of conquest, but to preserve a gov
eminent founded upon the theory
that all men are created equal
are one by one passing to the
great beyond.
1T is but proper that we who
are the heirs of their heroic deeds,
should set apart day on which to
show our appreciation of the worth
of their labor, and to strew upon
their last resting places flowers as
tokens Of sweet remembrance.
"Nor are we unmindful of the
valor and patriotism of the veter-
ans of the Spanish-American war
and the soldiers Of our country
who have given their lives to
maintain the honor of the nation
and in defense of it's flag.
''In 1911, the Grand Army of the
Republic, at it's forty-fifth encamp-
ment, ordered that as a part of the
public exercises on Memorial Day,
flags be placed at half mast, that
bells be tolled from IL noon to
1905 p. M, and that comrades
stand with uncovered heads dur
ing that interval of time. Each
ensuing year this simple but inn
pressive ceremony has been obi
served by the Grand Army. ThisI
would seem proper manner in|
which to show honor to our sOld-l
iers who have died for home and|
country-not only by the remain
ing comrades, but by the public att
large, joining in this silent testi-1
monial of respect-especially att
this time, when so many men in|
other lands are giving their lives|
on the battlefield.
I'VE behold today one.half of theI
world drenched in blood in the|
greatest and most cruel war of his-I
tory, and silent tribute of respect
five minutes of memories-can-
not do otherwise than call to curl
minds the cruelties of war and the1
blessings of peace.
ut is fitting that we should joinl
our fellow citizens in an appropri-
ate memorial to our patriotic dead;
therefore I, Winfield s. Hammond,
governor of Minnesota, hereby des-
ignate Monday, May 81, 1915, to!
be a public holiday, and ask thatl
the day be observed in becomingl
manner"

Word received today indicates
that Mr.. Voorhees, is Improving in
health and expects to be back at his
position in the Perth Amboy Saw
ings Institution about August /. On
and after that date Mr. Voorhees, will
probably devote his time to his bank
position and that on the Middlesex
County Tax Board. A number of his
friends declare that 1t has been over
burdening, causing a relaxation OF
the nervous system, which has made
the condition of Mr.. Voorhees, such
as to cause him to be forced to take
the rest cure. He spent several
weeks in the Adirondack mountains
until recently. After a brief stay
here he went to Asbury Park, where
1t is likely he will remain through
out the month.

ed city comptroller when former
Comptroller James A. Rhodes was
named as city treasurer. Former
City Treasurer Charles K. Seaman

ness. Speaking about Mr.. Voorhees,

Washington, July 9:-Although
the administration shied violently at
the suggestions of secret diplomacy
when the recent story appeared to
the effect that unofficial negotiations
appeared to be in progress between
Germany and the United States to
aid the former in framing her an
swer to the last American note,
there is, nevertheless. very definite
understanding between the govern
ments, it was confdentially asserted
today by officials in close touch with
international developments.
The German answer, it was admit
ed, will not be satisfactory" as it
was previously expected would be
the case 1t undoubtedly would have
been, it was said, but for the publ
cation of the story of preliminary
negotiations. Nobody ever referred
to such negotiations as ''secret di-
plomacy," it was conceded. They
were just spoken of as unofficial just
as the Japanese-American negotia-
tions relative to California S land
laws, negotiations with which no
fault were found on account Of their
unofficial character. Nevertheless 1t
was stated the administration evi-
IDENTITY put a tGecret diplomacy in
depreciation on the story.
Secretary Lansing denied anything
was in progress underground" and
President Wilson is understood to
have notified the Berlin foreign Office
that he did not wish to talk matters
over until he received the formal
German answer to his note. The re-
suit will be, it was predicted, that
the exchanges will be strictly formal
and official and consequently they
will take longer, but each side know
ing, it was asserted, what the others
want and each being determined
to avoid a break, an ultimate agree
ment surely will be reached.
Rumors that the note had been
handed to Ambassador Gerard circu-
lated at the state department for
some time before the confirmation
by the United Press bulletin. Off
cials said press information from
/ Berlin had almost invariably beaten
| official dispatches however.
Secretary Lansing had heard
nothing from Gerard He vas Of
the opinion that the time required
to translate and transmit the note
would render its arrival here before
Sunday impossible.
1t is believed here that in spite OF
| President Wilson's action to prevent
delay the German government in its
answer will seek to prolong the discus
sion Of the demands of this country In
a way that will delay the ultimate so
I luton Of the controversy indefinitely
unless drastic action is taken by this
country This is the view taken by
many officials here. who give 1t as theil
| opinion that the forthcoming reply viii
not materially advance the negotia
tions. It is generally believed that
| Germany instead of making a direct
answer to the fundamental demands OF
| this government will attempt to gain
time by counter proposals which this
country cannot accept.
