SCORES. PERSONS WHOSE
"HEARTS ARE IN EUROPE
Former Representative Lundeen's
Reference to Alien Enemies in
Memorial Day Address.

That those whose hearts are still
in Europe" shall have no dominant
position in the affairs of the United
States either now or hereafter was
the assertion of former Representa-
tive Ernest Lundeen of Minnesota, in
his Memorial day address at Arlington
yesterday.
I'VE will not suffer foreigners to
lord 1t over u.s." Mr.. Lundeen de-
clared; neither shall those whose
hearts are still in Europe be our
leaders. We still remember our hero
fought and for what they fought. We
shall not forget. Let us follow in
their steps"
Making a plea for the speedy re-
turn OF American soldiers to this
country. the former representative
said:
Our living lads over there now de-
mand their places in Gods own coun-
Try. They are weary of Europe and
Asia The war is over and they want
TO come home. For them no man
datory nonsense. neither foreign en-
tanSlements nor new graves in At
RIGA. Asia or Europe. They are Amer
leans and they want to live and die
in America. to stand on their own
home ground.
Referring to uncompleted me-
MORALS to those who fell in former
wards, Mr.. Lundeen said:
1t Is time TO complete our monu-
ments to American heroes. Here
stands the marble amphitheater un-
used. When Memorial day. 1920, is
here, let 1T stand out a finished gem
upon the hills. over there Grants

statesmen Inc he suggests that II the
former German emperor Is placed on
trial the statesmen also appear.
The letter asks King George lin the
name of justice and his own interest
to desist from demanding the extradi-
ton and trial of the former German
ruler. The letter which is signed Your

England plotted Germany's commercial
downfall.
If the allies want the truth, the form
