Kneel in the dust at yon old soldiers grave
And. bless his sweet and everlasting sleep
: While his descendants bravely fghtyto sweep
From earth the menace Of an evil wave,
Kneel in the dust-for yon old soldier gave
His life lest you should mourn and weep
With fear that darkness fell and dense and deep
Would swallow what he gave his life to save.
Kneel in the dust and honor him whose fight
In bloom of youth made this a country strong;
And worth the best that is in all the nation. :.
Then stand erect-behold the golden light
; o. victory that conneth-hear the stirring sor1gas ~
That sings with pride Of Freedom Generation.

One IS being conducted by Howard

the New York sculptor. whose en-
trance into the aircraft scrutiny is
more or less mysterious.
The triple inquiry follows close on
the heels of the FIRST meeting of con-
gressional members with the super
war council. which In turn came all
most imm edlately after President VIII
son had received z secret report from
Mir Borglum, regarding the DELAYED
program. Just what authority Mr.,
BoTglum had to make an inVest5ga-
tIon is not known, but 1t Is generally
talked around the city that his report
to the pres ant deals largely with the
matter of delay. This was one of the
outstanding features OF the conference
on Friday Of the senate military al
talFS committee ana the super " al
council
One official Of the council Of defense
today said that the program was nine
ty DAYS behind, but the difficulty to-
day had been IN manufaeturers over

in their planes for the standardized
product. and to get spruce wood. so

tion But light on this seemingly
hopeless situation has been seen in
the location of large quantities OF
spruce in the Northwest.
There Ia a probability that an ar
ranKement may be made with Canada
for the bringing into this country OF
spruce.
Mr.. MarshaU's duty will be TO go
into the whole question OF delayed
production. Mr.. Coffin is taking up a
more specific subject
Reports have come to him Of trou-
bles In the making Of the liberty mo-

these are unfounded, While IL Is ad-
