Tribute to the Soldier
Dead

Memorial Day was tittingly OBJ
served by Island people on We'd

Forming in line at the Gene
terry entrance, the few remaining
veterans, with the w. r. G. corps.
observed the beautiful custom of
decorating the graves of fallen
comrades with flags and flowers.
The assembly then gathered
around the shaft dedicated to
The Unknown Dead" where
the ritual service was read by
Chaplain j. S. Markham. The
Star Spangled Banner" was then
sung, after which reverent atten-
ton was given to an address by
Rev. r.. A. Galley, whose words
were very appropriate to the oc-
casion, breathing as they did q
spirit of true patriotism in pay
| ing tribute to the soldier dead
and prayer that the living
might be guided and strengthen
ed during the troublous times
upon which we are entering.
The exercises closed with the
singing of America and pray
er by Rev. H. G. Ward.
The Memorial Day parade in
Seattle was the largest and most
patriotic in the history of that
city, declare those who witness
ed it. The veterans of 81 and
'9S marched with the youthful
soldiers OF II.
From the brief Memorial Day
address of President Wilson we
Gull these timely words: This is
an American struggle and we are
fighting for American honor and
American rights. In the prov
idence of God America will have
an opportunity to show that she
was born to serve mankind. +"
