Memorial Day

Citizens of Richmond have become somewhat
lax in paying the debt of gratitude they owe to
the memory of the soldiers who fought in the
Civil War.
Memorial Day exercises in last few years
have not attracted the assemblies. that should
ioin with the members of the G. A. R. to pay hon.
or to the departed dead. In this respect, Rich
mond is no worse than other Indiana cities
Next Wednesday, Memorial Day will be cele-
brated here with program that challenges the
attention of our citizens. James E. Watson has
consented to deliver the address. Let us set an
example for attendance that will be standard
for the whole state.

graves of the veterans. The season has been
untoward and the supply may be limited.
The suggestion has been made that organiza-
ton and persons who have relatives buried in the
cemeteries donate their flowers to the Sons OF
Veterans SO that the graves of the old soldiers
will be decorated.
Many times the committees have been un-
able to obtain enough flowers to meet the de-
mand while relatives and organizations have
been profuse in decorating the graves of their
friends.
Let us remember that Memorial Day is re-
served for the old soldiers. Their graves ought
to be piled high with flowers. We can overlook
the graves of our friends on this day. It is poor
patriotism that will permit little sprig to be
placed on the grave of soldier while big wreaths
are placed on the graves of our friends who did
not serve in the army. There are plenty of op-
portunities to pay respect to your dead. Let
Memorial Day be reserved for the memory of the
veterans. Heap high the flowers their graves.

We are living in a national crisis. We need
not review the momentous and history making
events that are transpiring every day. Every
citizen knows them.
This Memorial Day sees our nation at war in
a cause that means spread of democracy. The
men who fought in the Civil War offered their
lives for the perpetuation of republican principles
and for the freedom of a shackled race. The
men who are soon to fight on European soil will
be engaged in conflict that, from the American
standpoint, is noble and an inspiring one.
The two wars have common thought. The
message of Memorial Day may inspire all of us
with new vision of patriotism, and new de-
cision to be on the side of right.
Only those who are calloused against all in
spring and uplifting influences will fail to re-
ceve new vision at the exercises.
The Coliseum on this day should be packed to
the doors. If we turn out in large numbers to
hear speeches questions of less importance
than those which will be presented next Wednes-
day. we ought to be ashamed of ourselves if we
neglect attending the exercises next week.
No greater tribute could be paid to the men,
DRY of the dead soldiers and to the service Of the
living veterans than an outpouring Of people so
great that the Coliseum could not accommodate
them.
Here is another instance in which every citi-
zen must exercise personal responsibility. Do
not salve your conscience with the excuse that
your neighbor will go. Attend the meeting and
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-05-28

if your neighbor does not go, you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that you did your duty.
The ranks of the old veterans are thinning
fast. This year the number will be smaller than
on last Memorial Day. Let it be your patriotic
service to inspire these men with the knowledge
that later generation has not forgotten their
sacrifice.

HIGH TRIBUTE TO AMERICANS
French Give v. s. Engineers Credit
For Braveness.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Many Ameri-
can soldiers have died bravely on the
Cambrai front, where they have been
assisting the British in countering the
terrific thrusts of the Germans, ac-
cording to an official communication
received from the French government.
High tribute to the gallant conduct
of the Americans, who were of the
United States army engineer corps, is
paid. They were engaged in operating
and building military railroads, when
they were caught by the encircling
move of the Germans. Previous dis
patches had told that the American
engineers we're in action, but no word
of casualties had previously been re-
ceived. Names of the men slain and
the exact number Is not known here
The French cable says:
"we must remark upon the conduct
of certain American soldiers, pioneers
and workmen on the military railroad
in the sector of the German attack
west of Cambrai and Nov. 80.
"They exchanged their picks and
shovels for rifles and cartridges and
fought with the English. Many died
thus bravely, arms In hand, before the
invader. All helped to repulse the
enemy.
There Is not q single person WHIT
saw them at work who does not render
warm praise to the coolness, discipline
and courage OF these improvised com
batants."

Repetition Of verdun Tragedy Is Pre-,

Washington, Dec. 5.-Austro-Germa
attacks on the Italian front have
ceased entirely, says an official dis
patch from Rome. Although the Teu-
tonic invasion was launched under
rain and snow the German press ex-
plains the sudden inactivity to un-
favorable atmospheric condition. The
truth is, according to the dispatch
that the Italian army, reorganizd ar
ter the crisis, is now holding the line.
Another Offensive Started.
Another offensive by the enemy on
still larger scale Is believed immi-
nent and the Italians are preparing
to meet 1t.
THE enemy has tried to break
through our line at every point" says
the message. 1t appears clearly that

Later General Conrad tried to
make the most of the advantages
gained on the Asiago plateau while
our troops were retreating to our line
of resistance, but when the Austro
Germans attempted to break our de

naboschi they suffered staggering
losses without gaining any ground

neers on the British front in the Cam
brai sector. 1t was the sole topic OF
conversation, and the railroaders here
were subject to much envy, especially
by troops who had returned from the
trenches and who would have given all
they owned for just such chance.
In the language Of an infantry ser
geant:
I'VE stay in the trenches for spell
and let Fritz shoot his artillery at us
and have never really had chance to
use our rifles, except to snipe and pot
Fritz out in No Mans Land on dark
nights. These railroaders managed to
run their trains right into a good thick
scrap, and II this isn't luck, don't
know what is"

Washington, Dec. 5.-An Allied lega-

received from Jassy, Rumania. desCrib-

The statement is the most complete
and authentic concerning the situation
ia the dual monarchy yet received in
Washington.
"An Austrian officer of Slav nation
atty" the report says, 'who recently
gave himself up to the Russians on the
Rumanian front, has some interesting
information as to the miserable condi.
tions prevailing ip Hungary.
The harvest has been much less plenti-
full than in previous years. In Istria,
Dalmatia, and Bosnia the yield has
been practically nil. There Is a great
scarcity of many necessaries of life
and some are simply unobtainable.
Fabulous Prices Prevail.
Clothes and footgear have reached
fabulous prices; In fact, they are nc
longer to be bought because the state
requisitions everything in advance.
Cards are issued for all articles and
tobacco is vanishing, though every sol
dier still gets his ounce and half al
the expense of the civilian, who has to
60 without. Coffee and tea are not to
be had. A great financial crisis pre-
walls throughout the land
"In spite of all the military success
es, the whole people is convinced that
this war will be lost by the Central
Powers, and therefore the whole popu
lation Is crying for peace.
Great Riots Occur.

occurred In many places and particu
