Passing On

Lewis s.. Pitcher, NJ. D., LII. D., sur
geon general of our great veterans or
ganization, the Grand Army of the Re
public, in an interview by Edward
Marshall, printed In the New York
Times, said:
THE time has come when the law
of nature makes it necessary for us to
look forward to a constant and in
creasingly rapid decrease through
death In the membership of the Grand
Army, just as those who now are our
friends and brothers in the south, but
who in the years of the great war we
deemed enemies, must contemplate
a similarly tragic spectacle among
their veterans.
The membership of the Grand Army
Is decreasing by geometrical ratio, and
of ours its decrease may be exclu-
sively attributed to the work of the
Great Reaper.
up to a few years ago we contin-
ually were adding new members to
our roll-men who for one reason or
another had not previously Joined. al
though fully qualified to do so.
To-day a new member occasionally
IS admitted. but the limitations in the
posts throughout the country are so
rare that they have become extraor-
binary events.
81 am the last of men to say that !
regret my service In the civil war;
glory in it. | am even the last of men
to say that 1 regret the war itself. 1
glory in that, too, for it was a war for
right, and, with its end, right tri-
hmphed.
"But, also, I am the last of men to
let slip any opportunity for vOicing a
regret that the imperfect management
of men produced a complication in this
nation which only war could straighten
out"

The Romans Memorial.

The Romans frequently covered the
couch Oh which the dead lay with
leaves and flowers. After burial the
grave was decorated with fresh flow
ers on feast days. Growing plants. too,
were planted about the last resting
place, and if they grew and flourished
it was taken as an evidence that the
departed ones were happy.

Proud Memories

Proud Memories
Cold must be the heart of
that American who is not
proud to claim as country
men the flower of the Vir-
ginia youth who charged up
. the slippery slopes of Gettys-
q burg with gallant Pickett or
p those unconquerable men in
a blue who through two long
a and dreadful days rallied
"a around heroic Thomas, 1.-THE
"a Rock of Chickamauga."
1t was not southern valor
or northern valor. 1t was,
. thank God, American val
p or; that valor which caused
u our Revolutionary fathers to
u throw their gage of battle
p into the face of the son of
"a a hundred kings; that valor
a which animated Washington
"a at Princeton, Brandywine,
~ Monmouth and Yorktown:
that yalor which upheld his
famished men amid the un-
speakable horrors of Valley
Forge; that valor which sus-
- tanned the soldiers who fol-
u lowed Arnold on that cruel
u winters march through the
"a woods of Canada and the
Christmas storming of Que
bee, where Montgomery fell
"a immortal; that valor which
. nerved Andrew Jackson and
his raw militia on the ever
glorious Sth of January when
they humbled to the very
- dust the towering pride of
u that mighty monarchy upon
. whose dominions the sun new
"a er sets and utterly routed the
"a veterans of the peninsula
y who had snatched from Ma
"a poleon's brow the iron crown
of Charlemagne; that valor
which at Buena Vista, Churu-
busco and Chapultepec filed

q that valor which wrote Davy
"a Crockett's name above Leo

GERMANS INDIGNANT
At ATTITUDE OF U. S.
Believed Washington Would Accept
Ruling on Armed Liners

BERLIN. Feb 2t.--lacking conhrma-
ton from the Foreign Office, reports that
the United States is opposed to Germany $
new policy regarding armed merchantmen
have caused surprise aud Indignation here.
The general public has not followed the
negotiations closely, but it was understood
that Secretary of State Lansing had indi-
Gated i'm advance that the United States
would approve the new German program.
1t was reported unoncally that Lansing
had told Ambassador Bernsturff that Il
months notice Of Gcrmauy's intention to
treat armed merchantmen rs warships
would be sufficient to safeguard neutral
interests.
The news from Washington has served
to renew the doubt in the minds of
German people as to the attitude Of the
American Government. The public had
been led to believe that all submarine con
trOversies were about to be settled, but
most Bcrlners interviewed today eX.
pressed the firm holier that America is
trying to take out Of Gormauy's hands an
effective weapon by limiting the operations
of submarines,
In practically every instance discussion
of the Washington reports led Germans
to recall the fate Of Otto Wcddigen, Ger
man U.boat hero, and the crew of the
submarine U.29, which was sunk by II
British armed merchantmen. In the pop
ular mind Weddigcn and his men would
be alive today had they not followed the
same humane methods now advocated
by the United States.
