War to Participate

nv International News service)
Washington, May 15.-The great
memorial amphitheatre at Arlington
National Cemetery was dedicated to
day. Participating in the ceremonies

Grand Army Of the Republic the
Spanish War Veterans and

The Arlington amphitheatre, just
across the Potomac wrof Washington

the "OTlu. 4~oSAonUA VIVA
etery comprises the homesteads of
Mary Ann Randolph Curtis Lee, wife
Of General Robert E. Lee. Abandoned
by the Lees at the outbreak of the

crowds who annually gathered in
tribute to the soldier dead. =
After twelve years congress took

such a remarkable change in my con-
