that We have good reason to be proud
and thankful of the results obtained
Our losses have been exceedingly
small, considering the size of the
force transported. and this is due to
can conveys by the naval forces. We

all trying to remember more about
him. Lufbery. half American, half
French--with the balance swaying to-
wards his Americanism because Of his
citizenship and the strong Yankee
strain in him that balanced the vivid
Gaelic. There are many anecdotes
which have come to light with his
fame, which came TO light. indeed, with
each new triumph and decoration. He
lived the latter years among great men
and great deeds and himself stood apart
and greater. There, were many boys in
the Wallingford works" and he is re-
membered there by this same aloofness
then an unboyish tendency to avoid
the intimacies Of small town life.
When Lufbery was borne away from
the field of wild flowers where he and
his broken winged plane had fallen,
his loss pierced the far corners of the
earth and the fame of his fall wrote
his name across the armament as he
scrawled it upon the pictured blue Of
Algiers and Karnak years ago. An
American, his only link with America
lay in those three short, dull years at
the craftsman's bench.
To-day. outside Simpsons where he
worked, Is group Of boys sitting on
fence in the sun, waiting for the one
o'clock whistle to blow. With them
once sat the gloomy, silent lad that
was Lufbery, chafng beneath the re-
straint Of work shop and foremen, only
passively Interested in this new trade
which he learned easily and we'll, and
whose limited possibilities his imagina-
tion quickly grasped and rejected. He
waited sullenly for the bell stroke in
his own consciousness which should
tell him the time had come for him to
move on. When the factory whistle
shrieked and he Joined the jostling
throng at the door, casting q last
glance at the cloud-fecked sky, he could
scarcely have known that his destiny
lay so high and so much akin to tho
wheeling birds above him.
When the bell within him sounded
he moved on. disappearing as suddenly
as ne nao COME. ne moVeq sIeaoliy Oh
between the narrow hedges of his life's
maze, seeking the opening and the end
of the path. And all the while the sky
| was clear above him and was his own.
The fair blue skies of France, the
torrid inverted brazen bowl Of the
tropics, the chasing leaden clouds over
many seas, the smoky arch above the
cities he hated, and once again the
sweet French blue, now stained, shat
tered. pierced by thousand shells.

How Memorial Day Was Started Fifty Years Ago

than by cherishing tenderly the mem
ory Of our heroic dead, who made
their breasts barricade between
our country and its foe. Their SOL
dier lives were the reveille of free
dom to a race in chains and their
deaths the tattoo of rebel)ious
vtyranny in arms. We should guard
their graves with sacred vigilance.
All that the consecrated wealth and
taste of the nation can add to their
adornment and security is but fit
ting tribute to the memory of her
slain defenders. Let no wanton foot
tread rudely on such hallowed
ground. Let pleasant paths invite
the coming and going Of reverent
visitors and fond mourners. Let no
vandalism or avarice or neglect, no
ravages Of time, testify to the pres
ent or to the coming generations
that we have forgotten as a people
the cost of free and undivided re-
public.
"If other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack, and other hearts grow
cold in the solemn trust, ours Shall
keep it we'll, as long as the light and
warmth Of life remain to us.
LET US, then, at the time ap-
pointed, gather around their sacred
remains and garland the passionless
mounds above them with the choicest
flowers of springtime; let US raise
above them the dear old flag they
saved from dishonor; let US. in this
solemn presence, renew our pledges
to aid and assist those whom they
have left among us. sacred charge

dler's and sailors widow and orphan.
