MEMORIAL DAY FINDS US ONCE MORE FIGHTING FOR MANKIND'S EMANCIPATION

Washington, May 3O.-Mc- morial Day, this year carrying a deeper meaning because of the fuller participation of the United States in the war and more significant because of the new American graves in France, was observed today by the American people as a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting, in accordance with the proclamation of President Wilson in response to a reso- luton of congress asking that such a day be set aside.
 While in no manner was the honor shown to the veterans of. the past wars lessened, yet. thought of the nation largely Was centered on the battlefields of France, where the German military machine is engaged in another drive against the forces of democracy.
 That American troops are aiding in the attempt to stem the German tide was a sourcc or satisfaction, as well as the recent news that the Americans had carried out successfully their first offensive action. Fur ther news of the German offeu- slVe was awaited with a feeling among high officials here that the attempt to beat down the Allied resistance would fail and that. the onrush of the Kaiser's armies would soon be stopped.

London, May 29, (By the Associat- ed Press) Bread crumbs are being collected by school children in cer- tain parts of Austria to be sent to starving children in Crotia. A news paper in SarajeVo reports that AS boxes of bread crumbs were despa tch- cd recently from that town.

other exercises were at various times throughout the day. Daylight saw some graves decorated.
 At one place in the vicinity of Luneville, the graves had been dec orated in the morning darkness when the enemy could not see clearly, for the soldiers performing this duty might have drawn the German fire as did the burial party. Here both the American and French flags were placed on the mounds with punches of wild flowers-great blood-red pop pies and yellow and white daisies.
