Rivalry Between Two Patriot
ic Bodies May Result in
Dual Exercises.
BOTH HAVE COMMITTEES
TO PLAN FOR PROGRAM
Appeal Made to Col. McElroy, Chair.
man of Original Maine Me-
mortal Body.

: From present indications there will
be dual services held at Arlington on
the anniversary of the destruction of
the battleship Maine. A controversy
has arisen between the Army and Navy
Union and the United Spanish war
Veterans as to which organization
shall conduct the principal services,
and the matter is now being fought
out.
Both associations have appointed
Maine memorial committees for the
purpose of conducting ceremonies in
honor of the dead of the Maine at Ar
iington. The committee of the Army
and Navy Union is headed by National
Commander H. Oden Lake. That of the
Spanish War Veterans is headed by
Rev. W. L. Mattocks, department chap
lain of the District of Columbia. Both
organizations will present their cases
to the War and Navy departments, and
it is expected the matter will event
ually reach the White House.
Originally the services in the Names
section at Arlington were held under
the auspices of the Maine memorial
committee. composed of members of the
several patriotic societies of this city.
The first service was held at Arlington
in 1907. soon after the big anchor of
the Maine had been placed at the en-
trance of the Maine section.

connected with these exercises were
later by myself and the National

to help them, and contributed great

fort My personal share l do not, how
ever, put forward, as l would gladly dc

ganiZation and purpose.
Speaking as an elder. but not as a

the comfy prevailing between those
engaged in patriotic work, would imply
a consultation with this original COM
mittee, which has kept up the work
so long, at their own expense and a,
such expenditure of labor and persona
comfort.
Through their efforts the observance
has. become a national function, at.
tracing attention all over the coun-
try.
Whether, after having brought the
observance to such a brilliant success
they will feel like relinquishing it Il
another organization, is a matter fol
you to take up with them. They have

memorial observance for ten Ions
years, and / need not recount how they

The attitude of trades unions toward
the war has been from the first
stanch justification Of Great Britain's
action and there is believed to be no
doubt that the congress will declare in
favor of vigorous prosecution Of the
war
Unless all signs fail the attitude OF
labor will be just as emphatic against
CONSUMPTION. The congress Is expected
to adopt a resolution on this subject,
characterizing CONSUMPTION as reaction
airy and calculated to impair the ma
