MEMORIAL DAY
OBSERVED HERE
Memorial Day was Observed in Deni-
I SON Despite the IncIement' Wealth.
erland a Large Crowd Attended
Big PARADE STARTS AT $50 A. NJ
Afternoon Services Held at Opera
House, Presided Over by w. A.

Rain did not interfere with carry
ing out the Memorial day program
IN Denison last Wednesday. although
the attendance at the service both at
the cemetery in the forenoon and at
the opera house in the afternoon WAS
somewhat less than in former years,
which, no doubt was due to the bad
roads and threatening weather. early
in the morning there was every pros
pect for a clear warm day but clouds
gathered and while the services at the
cemetery were in progress. it com
menced to rain. The exercises, how
ever, were carried out in full. At
$3.50 o'clock the procession was form
cd on west Broadway with Arthur G..
Green acting as marshal of the day.
Veterans of the civil war, Sons of Vet
Grams, Woman's Relief Corps and cit
liens rode to the cemetery in auto
mobiles and carriages. At the ceme-
terry, the G. A. Il. ritual was carried
out at the close of which Denisons
recruits to the state militia fired the
salute for the dead. In the afternoon
one OF the heaviest rains of the sea
son visited Denison, which interfered
with people attending the exercises
at the opera house.
The, exercises were presided over by
Mr. w A. McHenry past Department
Commander of Iowa, who returned
home only the day before from his
winter home at Pasadena Calf, in
order ito be present. Rev. Robert

RED CROSS DOES GREAT WORK
Red Cross Organizations at kiron---
Great Work Being Done in This
Country.

Red Cross work in the county is
progressing finely. A week ago Il Red
Cross organization was effected at
kir0n. and since then much effective
work has heen done in The way of Sc
curing subscribers and getting down
to practical work. Mrs. SERVER Of Den
isOn, with her sister, Mrs. O'COnnOr
and Mrs. NJ. T.. Jones visited KirOn on
Saturday and aided in the work of
organizing. Charter Oak is organizing
a unit and will be able to report pro-
gress in the near future. We under
stand that there are some little per-
sOnal jealousies that have threatened
the work at Charter Oak. When hui
man nature has obtained the perfec-
ton that will come from clear reali-
cation OF the sacredness of the work
of the Red Cross and pfayerful effort
succeeds personal envy, the cause
OF the Red Cross will develop with
greater rapidty. There never was Il
more sacred work with which people
were called upon to deal than the
work of raising funds to bring aid and
comfort to soldiers and their widows
and orphans, thru the work of the Led
Cross. We pray that all our'>people
all over the county will lay aside ey-
erythns of a nature calculated to rc+
tard the progress or the work and
shall move forward shoulder to should
err in 4 spirit Of charity and good will
to make the cause success. When
a minister Of the gospel will so for
get himself that he will speak slight
ingly Of the efforts Of other commune
ties or people of other communities
nnselfishly in an attempt to
promote Red Cross work. he proves
a want Of both piety and patriotism

SCENE OF SLAUGHTER
TAKEN BY BRITISH:
RESULT UNKNOWN

see a s%tiffening at once, when second
III positions are reached. But the
extent OF the advance already reported
makes this unlikely.
There remains a third possibility.
Concetvably the British at last pierced
the whole German line n we are to
see that rout so frequently expected ana
the retirement o Of France Of all the
German armies. But of this there is nc
evidence as yet.
It is not difficult. to explain the
British attack. phey rave selected the
ountry between Arras and Lens as a
field Of operations because southwark
the German retreat has destroyed their
plans for a spring drive by compelling
an enormous construction of lines of
communication and a long delay Incl
dent to bringing up heavy artillery to
the new front. But between Arras and
Lens the lines face each other as they
have since 1914. Furthermore. a sue
ceSsful breaking through here would
expose the whole flank of the German
line to the south. which has been re-
treaStng and is now halted along what
Is supposed to be the Hindenburg line.
Fol the moment the actual situation
remains obscure. Until the Germans
have been pushed back past the Lille
DOusi-Cambrai line it is safest to in
terpret 1t as a detail IN the shortening

Prisoners Show Victory.
Now the best test Of the extent of the
German defeat must be the number of
prisoners taken-and it Is already o n
siderable without being actually Inn
pressive..
Meantime it is OF great Importance to
watch what is taking place between
Retrns and Verdun. Here the French are
likely to begin their attack on the
ground on which they fought the bat
tie OF Champagne in the spring OF 1915.
Conceivably the Germans will also re-
tire on this front. The furious bonn.
bardment OF Rheims and the recent at
tack on Berry-au-Bac both suggest such

Sir Charles is reputed to know more
about those in whom the secret service
naturally would be interested than n

made a study Of that class which ia

There a been some trouble in In

very far short both of the. picture
drawn in enemy publications and Of the
enemy's desire. The state of India all
through the war seems to have exposed
a very big miscalculation on the part Of
the Germans.
1T would be interesting to examine
how far this miscalculation was due to
a misunderstanding Of normal Indian
affairs n how far to a miscarriage Of

on h character of a big offensive. 1t is
plain to all that the British are as

in doubt is whether the Germans are

Already in commenting on the Ger
man retreat l i've pointed out several
times that it was highly probable that

between Lille and Soissons-would be
drawn back and that the new front
would pass through DOusi, Cambria. st.

WILSON CALLS CONGRESS TO
MEET IN EXTRAORDINARY
SESSION APRIL 10.
CL0TURE RULE ADOPTED

OF SENATE MEMBERS ToFoRcE
ANY MEASURE TO VOTE.

Washington, March 1O.--President
Wilson has decided to arm American
merchant ships under his constitu.
tional authority, and also has called
special session of Congress for
April 16.
1t was learned definitely that some
American merchant ships sailing for
the submarine NC will be armed by
che government at once. Preliminary
arrangements have been completed.
and 1t is expected that vessels will be
ready to sail in the near future.
The steps of this government from
now on will be clothed more and
more in secrecy. The names of the
ships which will be armed will be
kept secret. and by this process 1t is
believed that many lives may be
saved.
The President signed the proclama-
tion for the extra session while lying
in bed with a cold. He also approved
the statement given out from the
White House. Orders for carrying
out the Presidents decision to arm
ships were Immediately sent to the
Navy Department.
The President decided to arm ships
after getting formal opinions from At
torney General Gregory and Secretary
Lansing that he had such authority,
in spite Of old statutes which some be-
lieved forbade it.
President Wilson has the backing
Of the entire Cabinet in taking the
step. Guns for arming merchantmen
have been assembled at navy yards
along the Atlantic coast and every
thing is ready to carry out the policj
announced by the President.
The Senate Friday began its DELHI
erations under new rule which will
