Washington, May 31.-Eulogies Of
the American soldiers and sailor dead
was voiced today by President Wilson.
Bryan, Daniels and Governor Willis Of
Ohio. Impressive Memorial Day exer-
cises were held at Arlington, the ma
tional cemetery
A large crowd seized the opportun-
ity to show that the present interna-
tional situation was uppermost in the
minds. Wilson was cheered on his ar
rival and departure and during his ad-
dress. He carefully avoided any d.
rect reference to Germany's reply to
the American note received yesterday,
which contained nothing ofe import
ance not outlined in the published
forecast. This caused disappointment
in the crowd which expected state
ment on this subject. He was enthus-
iastically applaused when he declared
the greater days lie before this nation
than it has ever seen. and solemn
consciousness of those who bear Office
in this time is that they must make
their best endeavor to emb0dy in what
they do and say the best things in the
