The following published statement is
presumably true: in the early spring
of 1867 Mr. and Mrs. Henry S. KIM
ball. of West Philadelphia, Pa, were
visiting several points in the South.
Mrs. Kimball, upon returning to Phila-
delphia. wrote to General Logan, an
old friend, stating that in her visit
to the South she had particularly
noticed the southern women decorar-
ing the graves of their dead, fallen in
battle and suggesting to him that, 'as
the commander in chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic he should have
our heroic soldiers whose lonely graves
are, many unmarked, remembered in
the same beautiful way General
Logan quickly and heartily approved
Mrs. Kimbalfs suggestion, informing
her by letter that he felt that such
touching tribute to his dead COM
rades would undoubtedly meet with
general favor" General Logan fire.
quently and explicitly. in public and in
private, gave Mrs. Kimball credit for
the suggestion in her letter.
In view of these statements if
monument is created it would seem fit
ting that it should contain these
names, instead of bearing the name
plate "UnknOwn":
ANDREW II. H. DAWSON.
MRS. HENRY S. KIMBALL.
JOHN a. LOGAN.

posts and 10000 members. The 1918
death rate was more than 1000 Il
month. But affiliated organizations
will preserve the observance of Me-
mortal day.
Then there is the Spanish-American
war-and it's heroic American dead and
its national organization.
And now there is the Great War
and it's heroic American dead and it's
coming organization of veterans.
II is in every respect fitting that
Memorial day this year and hence
forth should also commemorate the
heroic Americans who died in the
Great War. For Memorial day there
is an inspiring future.
Memorial day may even become an
allied holiday.

North and South. These were mostly
informal. The earliest date back to
