Baker Urges U. S.
Tribute to Dead
On Memorial Day
By NEWTON D. BAKER.
Seeretary Of War.

Memorial Day was estab-
Gshed to bring to our
minds afresh each year
the heroic dead to whom
the preservation of the
Union was due. We add
to it now the memory of
the heroic dead Of an un-
divided country who laid
: down their lives for liberty
and righteousness. Thus
the day should be cele-
brated as sacred to the
highest qualities of Ameri-
ca and to the sacrifices of
her noblest sons.

New-York tribune., 1919-10-24

Of Verdun began we had on the right
bank of the Meuse only two divisions
opposing five German army corps. These
two divisions held their positions fol-
five days.
Battles Most Critical Day
February 25 was the most critical
cay OF the battle. The enemy, by sacri-
hcing, without counting, his best troops
had succeeded in capturing Fort Douau-
mont the day before and the situation
was grave. On February 25 the troops
which had been occupying the Woevre
sector Ito the east of Verdun) were or
dered to fall back to the heights Of the
Meuse. The order was criticized then,
but its wisdom was later recognized
Since had received an order from
Great Headquarters to establish con-
tact with General Castelnau's division,
which had been defending Fort Douau-
mont and was now falling back on Yer
dun, met General Castelnau at Souilly.
All he said was: Take command of
the army. Thus on the evening of
February 26 | assumed command of the
army before Verdun. I distributed the
commands among Generals Guillaumat,
Duchesne and de Balfouriet and or
dered that not another inch of ground

should reply to every attack by a
counter offensive.
Village Changes Hands
During the eight days that fol-
lowed the village of Douaumont
changed hands ten times, but the Ger
mans held the fort
II understand now" said King AL
fonso, "why during those hours we
knew nothing of what was going on
here"
"At last, on March A." Marshal Pc
tain resumed, "the village was def
nitely ours, and on March 6, when the
Germans attacked on the left bank Of
the Meuse, I was ready to receive
them. 1t had always appeared strange
to me that an attack had not been
launched on the left bank of the river,
and everything was prepared in view
of such an assault. 1t was because the
enemy deferred that attack too long
that we were able to restore the stu
alton. That delay saved US.
Struggle for Hills
Then came the gigantic struggle
for Hill 304 and Dead Mans Hill. 1t
was then I issued my order of the
day: Courage, we will get them.'"
What I most admire" said the
New-York tribune., 1919-10-24

King. "is the wonderful endurance of
your men,"
Marshal Petain then told the story
Of General Mangin's offensive on May
%, by which Douaumont village was
stormed, adding that the Germans put
five new divisions into the line during
the preceding fifteen days, and from
May % to June % hurled eight other r
divisions into the fight, only to gain
but 500 yards.
1.-THE enemy after this fighting was
shouting 'Victory!'" said the marshal
disdainfully.
Mangin's Offensive Described
General Mangin's offensive on Oc-
tober 26, when Fort Douaumont was re-
captured and the Germans forced to
evacuate the village and fort of Vaux,
with the loss of 1900 prisoners, was
then described.
chieftain concluded, "our situation
was favorable on the right bank of the
Meuse. but bad on the left On Au-
gust 20, 1917, however, our offensive
on both banks Of the Meuse brought
us back to our original lines Of Feb
ruary, 1915, and on that day we gath
cred in everything we wished"
Marshal Petain and King Alfonso
walked out over what was once No
Mans Land and which now shows no
sign of life. The King, although he

The party then turned to the battle

o'clock. Great interest in the fort was
evidenced by King Alfonso, who asked
to be shown the underground passages
leading to the outer redoubts. When

deep shelters they were both stained
wAh mud.
France Not Surprised

German offensive against Verdun, Mar
