No Longer North and South.

Into every newspaper Office in the
land come daily the casualty lists of
war that to all intents and pur-
poses ended last November. Daily
we are reminded that we are still
legally" at war-and that Memorial
Day this year will come in the midst
of announcements that crush the
hearts in many American homes. We
are reminded, as we strew flowers
upon the graves Of the brave boys
who died for their country in the
sixties. that under the peoples of
France lie thousands just as brave,
from North, South. East and West,
who made the supreme sacrifice
more than half a century after the
Blue and the Gray had paid the price
the spirit Of blue and gray in oitve
drab to preserve American institu-
tons and the world from Prussian
greed.
From this on there will be no di-
vision Of days or services in honor
Of our dead. The newly made graves
in North and South are all in the
same class and we drop our flowers
and our tears In common reverence.
New ties fully span the valley that
divided US long ago. The blood Of
our sons has washed all other stains
from the nag. and Memorial Day in
1919 has . new significance. Az We
bend over the graves. new and old,
let US remember the cost Of civil.
xation's preservation. and that not
one Of these has died in vain-t we
do OUR part - time rolls on.
New and powerful emotions grip
our hearts - We realize the awful
price we have paid and are still
paying. to maintain the ground pre-.
