The Elaa on Memorial nax.

As the Both of May is our memorial
celebration day, it is generally consid-
cred more fitting that private flags
should be hung at half mast. This is
not, however, universal custom.
Many flags fly at full mast all day and
do not violate any hard and fast ira
dition in being thus hung.

Patriotism Of the chiIdrsn.

On Memorial day nothing is more
touching than the adornment Of the
graves of our fallen soldiers by the
children. The day is most beneficial,
for while it directs the thoughts of
the child to our national heroes 1t slim
ulates his patriotic devotion, and de-
pendent upon the child's love of coun-
try is the patriotism OF the man.

flying to thousands of depositors who
have already reached the old $500
limit and are anxious to entrust more
of their savings to Uncle Sam. An.
other feature of the amendment that
will avoid further embarrassment to
the public and to postal officials is the
doing away with the limit on the
amount that could be accepted from a
depositor monthly. Under the old law
only 500 could be deposited in a cal
endar month. The amendment abol-
ishes this restriction. While the Pos
tai Savings system has already proved
a signal success as is shown by the
fact that more than half-a million de-
positors have over eighty million dol
lars standing to their credit, still it
has fallen far short OF meeting the
full demands of the public because of
the restrictions which have now been
eliminated. Postmaster General Bur
Lesson and Third Assistant Postmaster
General Dockery have been tireless
in their efforts to secure modifica-
tion of the limitations and the new
liberalizing legislation is particularly
gratifying to them.

President Might Even Resign.

President Wilson Is stated to have
made II plain tonight, in conferences
with the leaders. that he will refuse
the Democratic denomination for
President IL his foreign policy is dis
credited by political Vaccinations in
Congress.
In the meantime all the negotiations
OF the United States with Germany
regarding the Lusitania and the newer
q submarine warfare have been indefi-
nitely held up until the situation in
Congress Is cleared.
No compromise proposition, such as
vote OF confidence in the Presidents q
foreign policy. will be acceptable.
Such an action, 1t Is held. might be
construed in Berlin as justifying the
opinion that the President lacks tho
support OF Congress and his own
party In his demands for a full OBJ
servance OF international law, while
It's only purpose would be to afford
members Of Congress a way to avoid
recording their positions before the
country on the straight, out-and -out
question.

clear to Congressional leaders tonight
in unequivocal terms. as the climax to
