The Greatest of Memorial Days

The Decoration Day services of yesterday had added significance They not. in the past, wholly reminiscent. There not alone the ming ling grief for who have fallen in earlier wars, and pride in their achievements. To this given a grief for those who dying in France and pride in the achievements of our boys in the Foul sector and in the field about Cantigny. There is also the emotion of hope, for the triumph of our and the recreation of the world
 There is also the of overwhelming responsibility. If We fail the world falls. Upon no nation in the past in all history did much depend and nation was ever so able to meet a great re- sponsiby.
 All these were properly Memorial Day consdera- lions yesterday. though it first Memorial Day in the war Bnt a year ago we could not see and could not know. Now it has been borne upon by the great events in Picardy where boys with their French and English allies are striving to stem the tide of barbarans threatening civilization than the sweep of Attila.
 Will the next Memorial Day be a day of triumph or of hope deferred?

ALICE RoosEvELTs FIRST SILK DRESS

Arthur Brisbane, the famous editorial writer says in the June American magazine:
 The editor every day must answer the question, What interests people?' or he must fail.
 The question can be answered in thousands of ways
 "This story is told of Cyrus H. K. Curtis: In days when he paid close attention to his magazines before he became publisher of the Ledger MT. Cur tis saw on his desk picture of Miss Alice Roosevelt as a very young girl. The line under it read Miss Alice Roosevelt
 That did not satisfy MT Curtis. It was not sufficiently interesting to the millions women read ing that particular publication. added five words: fin her first silk dress
 The line read then, Miss Alice Roosevelt in her first silk dress
 Young women and girls looked at the picture with sympathetic interest, older women studied it with memories of other years.
 Those five words in that particular edition of the Curtis publication worth good many hundred dollars for each word.
 Needless to say 1t Miss Alice Roosevelts first silk dress otherwise the Curtis passion for ac. curacy would have forbidden the additional five words"

 But it makes me get very sore when compulsory general training, in time of peace, is put forth as the only thing, as if we had tried seriously ev- erything else. The truth is that neither Britain nor the United States have ever seriously tried anything else. There are not merely thousands, but millions of young fellows in both countries who, if treated with intelligence and gen. erosity, would enjoy themselves in nothing more than in military training.

In other regions the oak and the ash ceives its attention. An oak my fathers farm struck twice in the course of many years the last bolt proving fatal The hard, sugar maple is ire quently struck but only in instance have known the tree to be injured In this case a huge tree was simply demolished Usually the bolt comes down on the outside of the tree, making mark as if knife had clipped off the outer surfaces of the bark, vealing the reddish yellow interior In several cases have seen this effect. But a few summers ago an unusually large and solid sugar maple in my neigh bors woods received charge that simply reduced it to stove-wood Such scene of utter destruction have never before witnessed in the woods The tree was blown to pieces if it had been filled with dynamite. Over radius of fifty more feet the fragments of the huge trunk lay scattered It was as if the bolt bafed long Dy the rough coat of mail of the maple had at last penetrated it and taken full satisfaction. The explosive force probably came from the instantaneous vaporzation sap of the tree by the bolt"-JOhn Burroughs in the June Gen. tury.

Saluting the Flaq

{ The apparent neglect of the American flag by many good citizens is observable almost every day ln perhaps few is dsrespect intended. We think a., Americans that is, all Americans worthy ot the name, love the flag quiet undemonstrative way, and would die for give their last dollar for it. But they have not become used to standing in its presence, saluting it. It is only comparatively recently. that is within last ten years that this duty has been rather systematically enjoined upon younger generations in the schools
 There two other reasons why the American flag is sometimes apparently treated with scant courtesy by some One is the frequent display that has always been made of the coors; we might speak of this display desecration. Until a few years the flag used in advertisements sometimes unworthy commodities Some advertisers were so ruthless and went far as to print advertisements the flag itself These of the flag though were happily suppressed some years ago.
 still the flag has been made too common in the of patriotism It is displayed in various shades of red and blue ranging from deep yellow to dirty gray from all sorts of places and in all sorts of weather. We have not preserved the dignity of the colors.
 Then there is this reason. which though furnishes excuse for neglect of the flag; there are many people among them the most moculous in their ob- of the flag, who have confined their expres sions of patriotism wholly to that observance They have always and invariably barred their heads or saluted when the flag displayed or when they have heard the national anthem and have chided the thoughess for not doing likewise. Beyond this and prating of their loyalty, they have done nothing They have bought Liberty bonds, Thrift stamps They have given nothing to the Red Cross and they have made not the slightest sacrifice.
 Tho example of cheap loyalists of this class has doubtless inspired many persons who are rendering some real service to the country avoid these out ward manifestations of loyalty which the loyalists' have made to cheap and mean That of course. is wrong and inexcusable view to take We mention it only a view

opportunity for man to put in a bi. of spare time at a training camp had our public men insisted that only the trained man had. done his full duty as d citizen, we could have had good basis for our needs in an emergency without compulsion. General Wood is entitled to the gratitude of his countrymen for Plattsburg, if for nothing else, though it only supplied the intelligence with out the generosity.
 We lived so far away from the other side that it seemed as if 1t were aIfoth- CT world to which we had no need to give any thought at all For that pro- vincialism, for that neglect for that indifference and our parsimony, we are now called upon to pay the price. It may include compulsory military ser vice for all w- may prefer a militar- ized America to dominating Prussia. but you are yet too early in presenting the figures for comparison between the French and the British.

AMES, Ia.. May 29.-"France is not bled white; she is holding her own and has every confidence in the future,' Lieut.. Col Edouard de Billy, acting French high commissioner to the United States, told 5000 persons at the commencement exercises of Iowa State College here today.
 France is just as determined now as it was in 1914" he said The fight ing front is practically the same; our people have the same spirit, grown stronger, and we have the same energy to fight the war
 of course, we have suffered heavy losses, but we still have three million good fighting men at the front and enough in reserve to fill the gaps as they come. Six million men-nearly all between 19 and 45 years except the unfit, have joined the cOlors."

FARMERS WARNED AGAINST FIREBUGS
Kamp Williams Fears They Are wilfuI-
Iy Destroying Foodstuffs.

The two recent fires in the vcin-
ity of Arkadelphia, both OF which
destroyed barns in which were stor-
ed large quantities of food products,
has prompted Hamp Williams, feder-
al food administrator for Arkansas,
to issue a warning to farmers and
those in charge of places where
large quantities of food are kept, to
use extra precautions to guard prop
erty of this kind. The coDhaerations
near Arkadelphia were Of incendiary
origin, and the Food Department
was asked to assist in running down
the guilty parties,
Mr.. Williams said that these
fires indicate the beginning of an
attempt in this state to destroy
food products, He points to recent
conhaeration near Hot Springs,
where one of the largest barns In
Garland county, which was stocked
with food products, was set on fire
by unknown persons and totally
destroyed,
mot all the enemies Of the United
States" said the food administrator,
ARE wearing the uniform Of Ger.
many or Austria, and farmers should,
/ II possible, make daily inspection Of
their barns and use every means to
protect them from being burned"
Mr., Williams said that four times
as many gins in Arkansas were de-
stroyed by fire In 1917 as were
burned last year, according to In
formation received from insurance
officials, who, he said, had informed
him thet a great number Of such
fires were under decidedly mysteri'
Gus and suspicious circumstances.
In the last barn burned pear
Arkodelphio, which was owned by
d man named Grayson, over 5000
bushels Of corn, 100 tons of hay
were destroyed and some live stock
perished.
