MEMORIAL DAY

In these days of volunteering and
conscripting for a war which has
reached across the ocean into our very
midst, the young men of the nation
are leaving their daily tasks to de-
fend their country-and it is fitting
that on Memorial day some thought be
given to the annual honor which
America pays to those Of this num-
Der who never return from the bat
tlefield.
The thought takes us most natur-
ally to Washington, D.. c.. outside of
which beautiful city, across the Po-
tomac River in Virginia, lies Airing
ton, the burial place of our national
heroes. 2. No spot on earth is more
hallowed on the Both day Of May
than Arlington cemetery, mounting
the hillsides of Virginia, rising in ex-
quisite terraces above the broad ex-
panse of the Potomac and overlook
ing the capitol at Washington. 1t is
but natural that Arlington should be
the central shrine on Decoration Day,
for beneath its sod lie more illustrious
bones than in any other single spot in
the Western hemisphere. 1t is the
one great national cemetery in the
United States, national in dedication
national in purpose and national In
it's historic romantic connections
Here lie thousands upon thousands OF
soldiers who fell in the civil war and
whose resting places are now marked
by a bewildering sea of small, white
headstones. Here also rise magnifi-
cent memorials to the leaders of these
valiant regiments of the rebellion
From one years end to another, Ar
Hngton is the continuous mecca OF
American tourists visiting their ma
tional capital at Washington. Espe-
cially on Decoration Day does it com
| mand the attention, the affection an6
respect of not only every patriotic
American, but of every liberty-loving
MISUNDERSTANDING citizen Of any gov,
eminent in all the world.
! On Decoration Day a tiny American
! flag flies from every headstone ani
1 from every one of the greater monu
ments which dot the greenwood. Or
Decoration Day Arlington carries be
! meath her sod the greatest measur,
| of the nations reverence and abov,

| colors, prophetic not only of the lily

| also of the patriotism and countr.
love of those who remain to ENJOY tn
/, fruits of the victories attained b.
/ those whose graves become adorned.
i So it is that this particular Me
Il mortal Day will have particular sig
4 nificance to every American, for VIII,
, knows how many of the gallant mum
Der which is now offering itself to it
country to preserve the principal
which were fought for by these heroe
whom we come to honor today, will
be resting there or under the blood
sand of some foreign battlefield
