Throughout the North and West
the day Is generally observed on May
soth, while April 26th is observed in
Alabama. Florida, Georgia and Mis-
sissippi; May 10th in North and
South Carolina; May 30th in Virginia
and June Bird In Louisiana. The day
in the Southern States is known as
Confederate Memorial Day. A few
years ago movement was put on foot
to merge both the North and South
into common Memorial Day. Those
in favor of this argued that the
Spanish American War has wiped out
all sectional feeling and that we were
now one country and one flag in reality
as well as in name, but. as yet. moth
ing has been accomplished in making
one day general for the whole country.
During The Present War In Europe.
In recent years the European coun-
tries have made practice OF decorat-
ing the graves OF their soldiers on the
anniversaries OF noted battles. reserv-
ing All Saints Day for the general
decoration of graves of all relatives.
Belgium has selected the anniversary
of the battle of Haelen. one of the
early battles Of the present war. which
occurred on August IL. 1914. as a
day for. paying tribute to the soldier
dead Hundreds of Be,gians went to
their death in defending the bridge
over the Dyle. Two anniversaries of
the battle have passed and on each
one the Belgians carried wreaths of

in this war;" said DR.. Hough. They
are born fighters. and have always as
friend or foe sustained their reputa-
ton for bravery and resourcefulness
in battle. Major John G. Bourxe. who
was on the frontier with Crook,
thought very highly Of the Indians Is
soldiers. He said they were the
bravest people he ever knew; in fact,
for sheer daring. there are none who
can surpass them. In the face Of an

counters. they would throw on their
