TRIBUTE TO HEROES OF
JOHN MARSHALL HIGH
Their Lives in Service of Their
Country Arc ENtollca.
BRONZE TABLET is UNVEILED
Presentation Is by Miss KoSslow,
Representing Patriotic Society,
Which Had Charge of Raising
Funds for the Memorial.

T3rdinoss in ratification OF a peace
for which American boys fought and
died in France was depiorcd in the
principal address ut the unwilling OF
the bronze tablet TO John Marshall
High School heroes yesterday morn
ing by John Stewart Bryan,
In presenting the tablet, Miss koss-
immortality OF John Marshall's dead.
They did not die for reasons given
by diplomats. they did not die for
the freedom of tho sea: they, died for
monument 10 what is best in man and
what shall be best forever"
Mr.. Bryan, in the, principal address
OF the morning, said in part:
The men who died for freedom
over the seas did nothing except that
which their heritage gave them a
right TO do. They stand as brothers
with the phalanX OF Alexander. the
mighty regions Of Caesar, with the
Roundheads of Cromwell or the Cava-
Tiers OF Prince Rupert, with the val
ian, Old Guard of NAPOLEON or Well
irSton. The blood OF these mighty
men flowed in the veins Of the sons
of Virginia. in the veins of the John
Marshall Highs dead.
Many Nircinians In Line.
'on October ., that day when tho
planets were in conjunction, there
were more Nirginians in the line Of
battle OF freedom than Leo led out of
Petersburg ffty-three years ago. The
same instinct of freedom flowed
the veins OF those soldiers OF Lee.
Shall We, for whom they died. let
their sacrifice be in vain? Shall We
drink the blood OF those brave men?
Shall we accept tho sacrifice and bca r
no part OF the burden? shall we send
our sons out TO fight for freedom and
hen fail TO make safe the victories
they have spent their lives in win
Shall a. 1Ek thapl NO DO
voted and we ourselves he craven
Shall we demand bravery Of them
while we ourselves are showing cow
5rd!ce. or shall we applaud their un-
waverinE purpose and have no cour-
age or purpose ourselves? Can We
ask them to die for peace treaty
that We won't ratify? Can We drink
us no less than for them tho testing
time has come

NUMBER THREE

The greatest service rendered
by a local newspaper, therefore,
is not merely the publication of
interesting news, vital as that
may be. 1t is to rally all forces in
the community in behalf of civic
progress.
A good home newspaper keeps
constantly urging the public to
join in measures of cooperation.
1t suggests progressive ideas.
1t opens its columns to people
of all shades of opinion, who can
propose ideas Of their own. 1t
keeps its eyes wide open to learn
what other communities are do
ing, so that its own town shall be
inspired to emulate progress
achieved elsewhere.
1t is the purpose of The Gale

can suggest any practical line of
action calculated to advance the
interests of Northeastern Yer

gladly support the idea and give

NEW STORM TIES UP
TRAFFIC IN COAST CITIES

BOSTON, Feb. 7-Recoverina
from the effects of the blizzard which
has held New England snowbound
for the past As hours, was retarded
by the arrival of more snow on a
heavy Northwest wind early today
Attempts to get railroad schedules
into shape again met with slight sue
cess and officials fears new difficulties
when the weather bureau predicted a
high wind from the northwest.
Suburban and local transportation
which last night had recovered some
what from chaotic conditions of the
day and night previous, was again
badly crippled. Ships which prepar-
ed to leave port today postponed their
sailing and points in Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Maine which
were isolated yesterday continued as
communities away from the rest of
civilization. Many of these places
have not received food or mail deliv-
cry since Wednesday. This city was
threatened with shortage of coal
and milk. Shortage of mail and pat
ronage continued % handicap bust
ness generally and shipments of
freight was virtually at u standstill.
Early forecasts of the storm prevented
many severe marine casualties, it is
believed.
