Memorial Message cabIed BY Wilson

Washington - President Wilson
cabled the following Memorial day
message TO the American people: my
fellow cOuntrymen: Memorial day
wears, this year, an added significance
and ! wish, if only by message, to
take part with you in it's observance
and in expressing the sentiments
which it inevitably suggests. In OBJ
serving the day we commemorate not
only the reunion of our own country
but also of the liberation of the world
from one of the most serious dangers
to which free government and the free
life of men were ever exposed. We
have buried the gallant and now i'm
mortal men who died in this great
war of liberation with a new sense
of conservation. Our thoughts and
purposes now are consecrated to the
maintenance of the liberty of the world
and of the union of it's people in a
single comradeship of liberty and of
right. 1t was for thi sthat our men con-
scientiously offered their lives. They
came to the field of battle with the
high spirit and pure heart of crusad-
ers. We must never forget the duty
that their sacrifice has laid upon us
of fulfilling their hopes and their pur- |
poses to the utmost. This, it seems to |
me, is the impressive lesson and the
mandate of the day.

PRESIDENT WILSON
DEFENDS LEAGUE
SAYS NATION THAT WOULD
FLING OUT THIS CONCORD
WOULD 6ETRAY ALL
SECRET CnyNSELS ARE over
League Called Covenant That Ameri-
can Soldiers Have Not
Died In Vain

Paris.-In the American cemeter,
at Surenes, near Paris, during the Ger
emory Of paying tribute to the Amer
lean dead on the occasion of Memo
rial Day, President Wilson made his
first reference TO the league of ma
tiOns since the covenant of the so
ciety which will have as its object
tie prevention OF future wars was
completed.
The day of secret counsels is past,
because the people are in the saddle,
President Wilson declared. The pri-
Vate counsels of statesmen, he added,
will no longer determine the desti-
MES of nations.
An earnest defense of the league
Of nations was a prominent note OF
the presidents address. He said he
looked for the time when a man who
failed to support the league of nations
would be as ashamed as the man
who opposed the union of the states
after the Civil war.
His words were delivered in the
presence of thousands OF American
soldiers and many civilians and the
official representatives of the French
government, including Marshal Foch.
Numerous distinguished members of
allied Cfficialdom who had come to,
pay tribute to the American dead also
heard the presidents words.
Touching on the reasons which had
brought the American troops across
the seas, the president said they had
come to defeat the things for which
the central powers stood-"the AFRO
giant, selfish domination which they |
intended to establish; and they came,
to see to it that there never |
should he war like this again"
1T is for us, particularly for US who
are civilized" the president contin-
ued, ito use our proper weapons of
counsel and agreement to see to it
hat there never is such a war again.
The nation that should now fling out
If this common concord of counsel
would betray the human race. So it
s our duty to take and maintain the
which will see to it that the
Mothers Of America and the mothers of
france and England and Italy and Bel
Jun and all other suffering nations
hould never be called upon for this
acrifice again.

BLANKS ARE LEFT IN
THE AUSTRIAN PACT
Covenant Of League, However, Is Al
ready In The Document-oues-
tons Yet To Be Settled

Paris.-A summary of the skeleton
of the Austrian treaty submitted tC
the smaller nations May 20 for ex
animation is remarkable chiefly fol
its omissions and reservations. Sub
ject heading after subject heading is
followed either by non-committal dis.
play of blank paper, resembling a
censored French newspaper discus
sion" of the controversial part. of the
days diplomatic developments, or by
the statement:
This clause reserved"
This applies particularly to. defini-
ton Of the southern frontier, the repa-
rations clauses and the question of
Italian rights under the political
clauses which are practically identical
with the German treaty.
The new clauses are chiefly those
dealing with frontiers, finance and the
internal affairs of the new states and
of Austria itself. Under the latter
heading come the disputed provisos
for the protection of racial minorities
in the new states, against which it is
the representatives of the
new states may address a protest to
the council of four and also ask for
revision of the financial clauses partic-
llarly that part requiring the new
states to compensate Austria for pub
ic property.

WILSON APPROVED
BY PARTY LEADERS
National Committee Members Review
Presidents Achievements
And Ask Support

i Chicago.-Members of the Demo
' cratic national committee closed q
SAvo-day session by adopting a declara
'7iap offered by P. H. Quinn, national
%lnntteeman from Rhode Island, re-
Waving the achievements of President
Wilson and the Democratic congress
and urging support of all independ-
ent and progressive voters in the 1920
campaign to perpetuate those policies.
The statement, after mentioning the
constructive and progressive legisla-
ton passed by the last Democratic
congress, approves President Wilson's
conduct of the war and concludes as
follows:
within twenty years our nation, I'M
der Republican administration con-
Quoted foreign war. The record Of
that party in that war is still matter
of current reading and of public dis
cussion. . No American president,
with the possible exception of Abra-
ham Lincoln, was ever so persistently,
purposely and in many instances mali
ciously misrepresented and maligned,
as our great leader has been, and we
believe that as he parallels Lincoln
in that respect, so will future his
tory of our country view his accom-
plishments with the same high es-
teen as those of the great emancipa-
tor.

The naval secretary asserted that

Work on the 1916 program, he said,
