WILSON CABLES HIS
MEMORIAL DAY
ADDRESS
By Associated Press.

Washington, May 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson has cabled the fol-
lowing Memorial Day message to
the American people:
My Fellow Countrymen-
Memorial Day wears this year
an added significance and 1 wish.
If only by message, to take part
with you in its observation and
in expressing the sentiments
which it inevitably suggests. In
observing the day we commem-
crate not only the reunion of our
own country but also now the lib
Grafton of the world from one of
the most serious dangers to
which free government and the
free life of men were ever ex-
posed. We have buried the gall
liant and now immortal men who
died in this great war of liberia
ton with a new sense of conse-
Grafton. Our thoughts and pur-
pose now are consecrated to the
maintenance of the liberty of the
world and of the union of its peo-
pie in n single comradeship of
liberty and of right. 1t was for
this that our men conscientiously
offered their lives. They came to
the field of battle with the hign
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 purpose to the utmost.
This, it seems to me, is the i'm
mandate of the day.
(Signed)
WOODROW WILSON,"

Used Forged Letter to
Solicit Funds in City

Representing himself as a dis
charged soldier in need of money TO
return to his home in Philadelphia,
a stranger this morning endeavored
to secure funds from residents of
Front and Second streets, using an
appeal on which the signatures of
officials of the Central Y. M C. A. had
been forged.
The man worked throughout this
district using the appeal which had
been written on Y. M. c. A. letter
paper. Persons solicited were rather
dubious and after learning from the
Z. M. C. A. that the letter was
spurious, police officials were noti-
fed.
