tearing large hole IN the side of the

buildings were rocked and scores of per-
sons were awakened.

Lest We Forget.

The trend of President Wilson's
great speech before the Associat-
ed Press in New York recently
rings true with his previous de-
clarations of international policy.
He reasserts the doctrine of neu-
trality as laid down by the faith
ers, and his utterances torcibly
bring TO mind the warnings and
advice of his great predecessor
who knew as few men have
known-what war meant and how
best to avoid it.
1t may not be amiss to quote at
this time from Wasllington's
Farewell Address a few passages
which might have been written
to fit existing international con-
ditions.
'Observe good faith and justice to-
ward all nations; cultivate peace and
harmony with all. Religion and moral
ity epjoin this conduct, and can it be
that good policy does not equally en-
join it? 1t will be worthy Of a free.
enlightened, and. at no distant period,
a great nation, to give to mankind the
magnanimous and novel example of a
people always guided by an exalted
. justice and beneyolence.
In the execution of such plan moth
ing is more essential than that perma-
nent, inveterate ahtipathies against
particular nations and passionate at
tachments for others should be e3ciId-
ed, and that, in place of them. just and
.amicable feelings toward all shou'd be
cultivated.
the great rule of conduct for us, in
regard to foreign nations, is. extend
Ing our commercial relations, to have
with them as little political connection
as Possible. So far as we have already
formed engagement. let them be full
filled with perfect good faith. Here
let US stop.

invites and enables US TO pursue diff
ferent course. II, we remain one people

Daniel Webster's Plow at the Panama
Pacific international Exposition.


One Of the most valuable exhibits
commercially, in the Agricultural Pal
ace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
'tional Exposition, San Francisco, is
an ancient pillow displayed in the
Massachusetts exhibit, and forming, q
striking contrast to the highly con-
pick modern machinery displayed on
the acreage of floor about it.
The pillow owes it's distinction to
the circumstance that hundred years
ago Daniel Webster's youthful hands
guided it along the burrows Of his
fathers farm near Marshfield, Mass.
D It was drawn by a yoke Of oxen and

tors and statesmen could turn an acre

united country, are proud both Of the
boys who wore the blue and the boys
who wore the gray-proud of their devo-
ton to principle. proud Of their courage.
proud of their martial achievement,
proud of their American Valor.
The men of the South were left to

began a procession which did not end
until nightfall.
At the hour when most OF the people
of the city we're at breakfast, scores OF
men. women and children, cherishing
memories and carrying armsfui OF flow
ers, were filing into the grounds Of the
dead This procession was informal. The
formal march to the cemetery did not
begin until the sun was hours high.
1t was $50 clock in the morning when
the formal procession was assembled in
front of the old G. A. r. Hall in Penn
sylyania avenue near Fourteenth street
northwest. This procession was formed
of veterans of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, the Army and Navy Union
and the United Spanish War Veterans.
There were but few of the aged men
who fought in the civil war. and their
step was feeble and slow.
They marched through the city streets
for a few blocks, but did not think of
marching all the way to Arlington. as
they did a few years ago. After the
short street parade the veterans boarded
cars at Thirteenth and streets north
west and rode to the cemetery in cool
and comfort. At the cemetery the Pro-
cession of veterans was swelled by ad-
ditions of members of the Womans Re-
lief Corps Sons and Daughters of Vete-
rams, Ladies of the G. A. r.. Legion OF
Loyal Women. and other patriotic bodies.
At Tomb of Unknown Dead.
The procession halted at high noon al
the Tomb of the Unknown Dead, and
while the Marine Band played a dirge

ma rched to that section of the cemetery
set apart for the dead Of the Spanish
War Veterans, and the tombs there
were given their loads of flowers.
When these ceremonies ended. there
was general rest for few minutes
in which box luncheons were eaten. The
cemetery was alive with visitors and
presented q scene that will live long in
memory.
Attention conferred upon the ampithe-
alter and the address of President Wilson
When Mr.. Wilson arrived in his limou-
sine, the throngs had overlooked the am
pitheater and were giving work to the
Boy Scouts detailed to police duty with
soldiers and marines.
In the ampitheater a huge white can.
vas shielded the vast assemblage from
the glare of the sun. The crowd was
damned in close order between the white
pillars that rose at regular intervals
to support the pergola surrounding the
! theater. Big American flags were draped
from the masses of green vines that lay
heavy upon the pergolas. The assem-
hlage was a riot of color.
