GLADIATOR WINS
 OVER IRISH DREAM

In a contest that had all the ele- ments of real horse race the Red stone Stables Gladiator captured the Knickerbocker Handicap at a mile and a sixteenth at Empire City yes- terday and in so doing quite definitely proved that he is a better three-year- old than the Kilrane Stables Irish Dream, which has been something of a mild sensation recently. Gladiator won by a length and won easily, though having six pounds the worst of it in the weights. Lunetta was third among the four starters.

 Leaving for Pittsfield this morn- ing, the Bridgeport ball club was de- termined to hold fourth place at all , costs sagainst the Hillies today and to- morrow in the Heart of the Berk- shires Manager Walsh realized the job he had on his hands because he has been watching the performances of Birmingham's crew in taking the last eight out of nine games Both New Haven and Worcester, leaders in the race, have suffered quite a little from the walloping Pittsfielders.
 Yesterday afternoon Martin Glynn was picked by Manager Walsh to stop Albany, but the picking proved to be the wrong kind, for the Senators whaled Marty for 13 hits in six inn ings and they put across seven runs which were plenty to turn the ball game, as the best the Walters could do against the pitching of Horn was four runs, all in the fifth session. A three base clout by Tai in that inn ing gave the locals two runs for Skiff

SOLDIER SACRIFICES
KEEP U. S. LOYAL
TO IDEALS
BY COL. JOHN MeELROY.
CoWmaader Grand Army OF the
Repssbiic, Department OF the
District of COlumbia-

Memorial Day to me is possibly
the greatest day in the American
calendar, because IL Is the day
that has held us fast to the faith
that there IL something worth
while In the world besides paltry
gain.
IL is the day which we set
aside In loving menory for those
who have gone from us, as q
tribute OF gratitude for their
services for which we expect no
reward. and therefore can do II
unselhshly.
1t IL that day which, during the
last half century, when the entire
country was chasing the almighty
dollar. has taught us there is
something greater than the dol
lar.
1t has kept the people loyal to
Ideals. 1t has caused them 10
bow their heads in reverence.
and to reaffirm their allegiance
to the flag and the nation II rep
resents.
This year. which has brought
us the DEVILS propaganda Of Boil
shevism. gives to Memorial Day
a deeper and more profound
meaning than ever before.
Those of US who knew Lincoln.
and who have kept green the
memory of the men who have
fought to make and preserve a ma"
ton, can tell more truly what the
meaning of true patriotism Is.
In it's broader application. with
the dead of still another war
added to those OF the wars before.
Memorial Day will be kept hal
lowed in the hearts of a genera
tion that may not know those who
established the observance.

SWORD OF AMERICA
NEVER UNJUSTLY
DRAWN
BY ROBERT II. WOOD,
Department CommanAer United
Spanish War Veterans.

w
To every veteran of the war
with Spain who helped to drive
tyranny from the Western Hem
ispherc. Memorial Day has a deep
meaning.
In it's first significance II means
the day when we lay flowers on
the graves of comrades who died
in that struggle for humanity and
those who have fought for free
dom In all American wars.
1t gives us a sense OF pride TO
think that the sword has never
been drawn for America in an un-
just cause.
Memorial Day gives us occasion
to pause and think OF the depend
ents of worthy comrades. and to
devise new means for their relief.
TO prepare TO work for pension
laws that will keep them from
want, and to do kindly acts our
selves for the needy. especially
those bound TO us by the relation
ship OF comrades-in-arms.
1t is one OF the days when IL Is
good to teach the young to be
patriotic. and to point to the deeds
that brave men have done for
them ever since this nation was
conceived.
We have been blessed with pa
triotic soldiers in every genera
ton. and we have been further
blessed with patriotic citizens
who have perpetuated their mem
ory and spirit through patriotic
societies.
Memorial Day is a milestone in
the history of human liberty and
national greatness. 1t is day
when we should all do reverent
homage to those who have gone
on in the good cause OF freedom.

LIVING FIND GLORY
IN HOMAGE TO
HERO DEAD
BY COL. JAMES A. DRAIN,
Department Commander Americas
Legion.

Death is OF little consequence to
the man correctly oriented toward
God and mankind. No one ever
need feel sorrow for the man
who passed out of this world in
the performance OF duty. Sorrow
and our sympathy are for those
left behind. lonely. There is no
duty more high. or death Of
greater glory. than that of the
soldier.
We are apt to think of death as
something to be dreaded. Most
soldiers have lived down that
dread. IL they ever had II. The
words most used by soldiers hurt,
or sick, and dying. are ut Is all
right"
We do well to honor our soldier
dead on this Memorial Day. II Is
natural that we OF the American
Legion should think first OF our
comrades of the last war, but our
thoughts do not stoy there. We
honor on this sad but proud day
all those who served in other
wars.
We men of the American Le-
gion honor ourselves when we do
homage to our comrades who
have passed. Their purpose and
ours in the war were the same.
We shared with them the deter
mination to give all that we had
in the service of our country and
humanity.
The first words of the creed of
the American Legion are For
God and country. we associate
ourselves together" and the bal
ance OF that creed makes UP a
perfect charter of right living.
Men of the American Legion Sc
riously expect to do their best to
follow that creed.

Deaths in the Armies of the United
States in Various Wars

Aggregate. .... I6y,0IU Z39,ooU o3,UoI 0Uz4Z1
; The records of the revolutionary war and the war
of 1872 do not contain data relative to deaths by dis
ease or other causes 1t is probable that the number of
deaths during these is greater than the number
shown above, but owing to the paucity and incomplete
ness of the records it is impossible to furnish
accurate statement.
In the case of the war with Mexico the records
show that 1926 ordinary" deaths occurred. These
were evidently deaths from disease and have been
classified above.
The figures for the world war include deaths abroad
and at home and also include deaths among marines
attached to the army.
