New York. May
An oldT flower woman
With faded roses
In a battered tray.
Stood at the curb.
In front of the Winter Garden.
Weakly calling her wares.
While the great city.
Gulped the theater hordes.
And fine ladies.
Drew their skirts.
As they passed her by.
And men gave her a look.
And moved hurriedly on.
And the lights blinked.
And finally went out.
And the great wide street. 90
Became dark and still. B
And the old flower woman.
Turned to hobble away.
To some lonely hovel.
Or dark hallway.
Then gliding northward.
Came a huge limousine.
And as it passed.
A face peered out.
From behind curtains.
And the car swung around.
And up to the curb.
And a man got out.
And tipped his silk hat.
And the old flower woman.
Looked up with wide eyes.
And he took her arm.
And gently helped her.
Into the waiting motor.
And soon they were off.
And a while later.
1 got an early edition.
OF a morning newspaper.
And read of bombs.
And murders.
And suicides.
And a world wet with tears.
And yet that little act.
Had proved to me.
That the divine spark.
Has not fIickered out.
But is still here.
Always was here.
Before the Tower of Babel.
Reared it's crest.
Into the clouds.
Before the sphinx.
Gazed on desert waste.
And before Jason.
Sailed in quest.
Of the Golden Fleece.

CLOUDBURST CAUSE
OF DELAYED TRAINS

Southern Pacific eastbound train
No. 2. due in Winnemucca at LAS
am. arrived at 1905 this morning,
being the first train in from the west
since last nights storm. Train No. 20
followed about thirty minutes later.
All traffic had been tied up by a big
washout between Rye Patch and VAL
cry, caused by a cloudburst.
Westbound train No. 10, which left
Winnemucca nearly on time last even
ing. dropped into the washout, luckily
without any serious results. No one
was hurt.
The locomotive driver on No. 2 said
the hills for two and half miles
were literally washed down" by the
great quantity of water which was
precipitated. and that great rocks
were strewn for miles about the sur
rounding country.
He had heard no news of injury to
persons or stock in the flooded
territory.

AUTOS AND TRUCKS
NEEDED TOMORROW

Special emphasis is laid by the
Memorial Day committee upon the
fact that many automobiles and trucks
are needed to transport women and
children to the cemetery tomorrow.
Few persons have so far notified the
committee that they will donate the
use of cars as resuested. Contrary to
the first plans as announced in The
Silver State of last Saturday. the
parade is to be broken up in front of
the Nixon, where participants will get
aboard automobiles and trucks for the
trip to the cemetery. 1t has been de-
cided the walk would be too strenuous
and might keep some people at home.
The order of the day will be as
follows:
Services are to be held tomorrow
commencing at $3.50 a. m. in st. Paul's
and ST. Mary's churches. At 10 O'Clock
members of the War Veterans, Red
Cross. Boy Scouts and other organiza-
tions, besides school children, individ-
uals and automobiles, will gather at
the grammar school. to parade by way
of Railroad street and Bridge street
to the Nixon. AS stated above, the
parade will break up at the Nixon and
the rest of the trip will be made in
autos and trucks.
At the cemetery, everyone will first
join in singing "The Star Spangled
Banner" The balance of the program
will occur in the following order:
Invocation. Rev. Westervelt; hymn,

BY Sergeant v. c. Nevin

Cantigny! How much that one word
meant to the hard-pressed Allies one
year ago today, their armies gravely
threatened with destruction before the
terrible onslaught of the German
hordes.
One year ago May 27-28, the Ger
mans had gone over the top along the
Chemin des Danes in the last of
their great offensives an offensive so
successful at the beginning that it was
perhaps more disquieting than any of
those which had preceded it, carry
ing the enemy's lines down to the
Marne at Chateau-Thierry and seem
ing for time to threaten Paris with
imminent attack. In the next days
news to a dismayed world, telling OF
the armies of the German Crown
Prince striding southward across
the Vesle river. the elctrifying sue
cess Of the 1st American Division at
Cantigny, was the only bright spot
The sector of Cantigny was mo-
merely an important one in the allied
line of battle. II was supremely import
ant. 1t was at the very apex of the
salient which the enemy had gained
in their March offensive and lying q
few kilometers northwest of Mont
didier, then German possession. and
about twenty-five kilometers southeast
of Amiens. 1t was at this point that
the Germans had come measurably
near to severing the British and the
French armies, and upon this position
holding depended the security of
Amiens with rs vital railway COM
munications supplying the British
army north of the Somme river.
The problem was a vital one and the
question was: What factor could fur
nish to one side or the other the bal
ance of power which might turn the
tide? Could the Americans be de-
pended upon as we'll as the French,
who had here stopped the German ad-
vance few weeks before? The Ger
mans sneered at the idea; the French
and British were forced to at least
grant them the privilege of trying.
Theoretically. the Americans had
been in the war for year, but their
representation in the zone of armies
consisted of only few partly trained
divisions. the oldest of these bein the
1st Division, commanded by Major
General Robert Lee Bullard. This
organization had previously spent
three months occupying the Toul
sector, and had learned the compli-
Gated lessons of defensive warfare.
which had been brought to such a
high state of perfection during the
three and a half years OF war. If
this outfit could succeed in the task
set before it. certainly the millions
more of American troops. potentially
as good as those of the 1st Division,
were coming and eventually the war
could be won.
1t was not without some misgivings,
however, that the French high COM
mand ordered the 1st Division to
occupy the divisional sector fronting
Cantigny, which position they took
over on April rs. 1918. Here they ex-
perienced an intensity of warfare
vastly different than that which pre-
vailed in their former positions.
The Germans constantly threaten
ing to resume their push toward
Amiens and the coast, harrassed the
American lines day and night and
raiding was frequent. Here the Yanks
proved themselves the equal OF the
Hun and in a short time American
patrols had secured the Information
