California, Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, he came back to Montana, in
1911, and filed on a homestead, which
is located about seven miles north
east of Tampico, and has lived there
ever since. To know Mr.. Hammer was
to know a friend indeed and n who
would prove to you q friend in need
and one who thought of others before
himself, for such was said of him be-
fore and after his death.

to Miss Rikka Erickson, the occasion
being memorable from two stand
points, one, the wedding; the other,
in honor of five soldier boys, taken
from this vicinity that were going to
leave next day for American Lake,
and because the thought was with ev-
eryone that Bernt would be the first
taken from our midst, but life is so un-
certain and death is so SUI that we
know not when we will be called to
answer deaths summons, SO it be-
hooves US all to be ready at all times.
Besides the grief stricken wife, Mr.
Hammer leaves a brother and sister
and other relatives to Mourn his loss.

Rev. A. N. Livdahl, (who also officiated
at the wedding ceremony on Tuesday

church in the presence of a large
crowd of isorrowing friends, who came
to pay their last tribute of respect to
the one who had always proved a
friend to them.

ed in United States yards.
"The glee of the Central Empire

rines off the American coast viii be
of short DURATION" he SAID 'stThe ar
my and navy merit praise for their
work of shaping and shipping a mil
lion men overseas.
cit is a matter,P' he said, (which
our sons viii look back upon with
pride that in this hour of national
need perfect teamwork by the army
and navy made possible a result which
military experts deemed beyond achieve
ment. The successful landing of troops
presages the ringing of liberty bells in
lands which have never known the
meaning of freedom.
This afternoon Daniels, speaking to
the naval training station at Pelham
Bay Park, said there are 465,000 Off
GERS and men in the naval service to-
day, and that this number is growing
about 2000 daily.
He spoke highly of the service, in
eluding the aircraft end. He pointed
out non-rigid dirigibles are now operat-
ing inNthis vicinity and that the seas
are being patrolled by seaplanes.

WASH|NCTON'S TOMB
CONTINUED from page one)

The president, however, did recapit-
ulate the war aims of the allied nations,
which, he said, could be summarized in
one sentence What We seek is the
reign Of law, based upon the consent of
the governed and sustained by the or
gani7ed opinion IF mankind"
Felix j. Streyckmans of Chicago, rep
resenting the Belgian-Americans and
chairman of the foreign born at the
celebration here today, replied to the
president, as follows:
"Mr President, members of the diplo-
matte corps:
"To this shrine Of the American peo-
pie, to the mortal remains of the man
who, more than any other, gave the
American ideal life and form, We have
come today, bearing our humble tribute
as citizens of the great republic. You
yourself, Mr.. President, have acceded
to our request that this Independence
Day be designated as festival of 10y.
atty on the part of our foreign born
citizens and Of their sons and daughters
1t is for me, representing the commit
tee of pilgrims, to tell you what il
means to us.
cone hundred and forty years ago to-
day q group Of men animated by the
same spirit as that of the man who lies
here, founded the United States Of Am
erica on the theory of free government
with the consent of the governed. That
was the beginning of America. AS the
years went on, as one century blended
with another, men and women came
from ever the uttermost ends of the
earth to join them. We have called them
alien; but they were never alien. Though
they spoke not word Of the language
of this country; though they grouped
dimly toward its institutions, they were
already Americans in soul or they would
never have come.
"We are the latest manifestation Of
that American soul. And scarcely had
we settled ourselves into the structure
of this dear country Of our adoption
when we found the spirit of Washing
ton, now blazing up to be the guiding
| light of twenty great nations, assailed
as never before by the sinister forces
Of reaction"
'"Fo this beloved shade we come to
day with the hopes Of our races gar
nered in our hands. To you, worthy sue
cessor of our great liberator, we give
the promise of the millions who sent
us here that we will persevere in Tho
struggle until lasting freedom is secur
ed not only for this nation, but fol
the nations from which we sprung
and for all the other nations. The swOr(
which we have grasped we will not lay
down until the dream of Washington
and Of his great generation be fulfilled
for us, for our American sons ant
daughters and for whole suffering
struggling world"
