DAY is BORN anew
Memorial Day This Year Has
New Meaning.
Boys in France Observe II
Along With Veterans Here.

Washington, May 3o.-Memorial
day this year has taken on a deeper
significance. The day is consecrated
anew to the thousands who recently
have given their lives in perhaps the
noblest cause for which America ever
has fought.
The nation thus commentaries the
sacrifice of her khaki-clad sons who
sleep in France and of her boys who
were swallowed in the cold waters of
the North Atlantic when German tor
pedoes found their mark.
Altho even the vanguard of the ex-
peditionary forces has yet to observe
the first anniversary of its arrival in
France, and even tho a great part of
the time of the American armies over
seas has been given to training, the
casualty list has began to mount into
can youth has been spilled for the
first time on an European battlefield.
Out on the battle front of northern
France, at a few points so close to the
lines that the gathering may be men,
aced by shell fire from German bat
teries, there has taken place simple
ceremonies concentrating the sac
rifice of those who met an honorable
death during the first year of strife.
And, just as much as Gettysburg,
Shiloh and the Wilderness live in the
memories of the civil war veterans at
home. there has been implanted in. the
minds of Americas FIRST five hun
dred thousand the unforgettable recoI-
lection of Seicheprey and Chemin des
Danes.

gave in answer to the call in 81. In

They Come for Miles To Hear
"Old Citizen at Erie.
skinny and 0RNERY JAY
That Is How He Was Known in
Center Township.
And Now He Has the Chance
To Redeem Himself.

For Mayor ]. E. House, today is
the Opportunity that Comes Once in
a Lifetime. Today House is deliver
ing the Memorial address in Erie, his
their wives and their daughters from
Center township, have sent word that
they are coming to hear the speech.
Tonight Mayor House will be re-
deemed in the eyes of the people of
his old home or he will always be just
skinny and ornery old Jay House"
Every man who was a "reg'lar fell
ler'' in his old home town in the days
of yesterday, carries a lurking and
lingering thought that nothing he may
do in after life will quite redeem him
| in the judgment of his former critics.
So Mayor House, who was one of the
"reg'lar fellers' in Center township
and in Erie, is today trying to make
good in a speech that refers to the lit
tie green tents and the sorrow songs
| tribute to the boys who marched away
! in 81, in the Spanish-American war
| and only yesterday in the war for
democracy. In three years as mayor
of Topeka, Mayor House has become
something more than average catch
as-catch-can platform speaker.
In those three years as mayor.
House has talked to the Epworth
league, the farmers union, the boiler
makers union, the state temperance
editorial association and any mum Der
of other organiZations-polit civic,
or organized for the dissemination of
neighborhood gossip and the regula-
| ton of the other fellow. But talking
to the folks who knew you as a bare
| foot kid-a kid who worked reluct-
antly, who fished sundays, smoked
corn silk cigarettes and was suspected
| of all the juvenile sin of the school
| district-that is something else. Even
| Mayor Houses few well wisherS in
Center township didn't paint a real
glowing future for him. They doubted
his ability to crush into the newspaper
game. They never dreamed he would
be mayor of the capitol city and would
play golf and know all the Western
league ball players personally and as
a theatrical critic would get free
passes to all the good shows. For
Houses boyhood days were in one of
those typical communities where the
| real guys are seldom suspected OF
success.
But even Center township is begin
severe judgment. 1t has asked 'skin-
nay to come home with Decoration
day speech. This is Houses chance
of lifetime. Tonight the old home
folks will forgive and forget or they
will sit out on the front porch after
the milking is done and the supper
dishes are washed and they will re-
cite all over again that ''I always knew
that young Teller would never come
to no good end. nohow."
