Can This Penitent Soldier Be Pardoned?

DITTSBURGH.-Th veterans Of for

men are seeking pardon for Walter A.
Dress, ex-Yank and voluntary prisoner.
Dress, then aged %, on February 8.
1917, entered plea of guilty to charges
of burglary, and was sentenced to
serve two to three years in the peni-
tentiary. He escaped from Rockview
prison the following August and en-
listed in the army under the name of
Walter o. Dorm.
While at Norfolk, England, in the
summer of 1918 he met and married a
British girl, who then was manageress
of a cafe in Norwich. His bride ac-
companied him to this country. Due
to her counsel, on March 80 he ap-
peared at the Western penitentiary and
surrendered. Recently the wife wrote
the attorney for the post:
Il trust that you will be successful
in obtaining a, pardon for my husband.
Life to me is not worth living without
him, although l would wait patiently
to the end of his sentence if it had to
be done.
after getting his discharge he
worked at several places but could not

of them alone.
One day not long ago Mavis found
an old friend, Jack Carlin. Jack had
sat behind her in the old white school
house. Mavis told him all about Dick
and the five children. Jack, who had
just got out of a hospital for conva-

WIFE He said he had been trying to
find her ever since she disappeared
from Tennessee.
Mavis thought 1t over for several
weeks. Then she put it up to Dick.
Dick said he guessed it would be all
right. He gave her money toward her
wedding clothes and wished her hap
piness. But he also filed petition to
adopt all five of the children, intending
to send them to his mother in the
South.
When the case came up in court
counsel for the father contended that
the children were illegitimate. which
made the judge angry. He banged his
fist on the bench and shouted.
Then Carlin filed petition, with
his wife, to adopt the children. And
they all went to their new home.

names of the three involved.

wistful pride on the grandfather the
brother or the son who marched forth
to the sacrifice. Those families that
were spared bereavement cannot have
the FEELING common to all the kinsfoIk
OF the soldier dead-the feeling that
this day of all days in the calendar be-
longs peculiarly to them. Yet those
who did not know bereavement must
pay their homage; they stand apart
from the sacred fellowship of sorrow,
and yet are not unmoved.
Memorial day must now be one that
knits the nation together. Hitherto
1t has been day that was sectional.
Suddenly 1t has become day that Is
national. On the battlefieIds of France
closer unity of the United States
than had existed before was achieved.
Memorial day this year and In the
years to come must serve as the SYM
Dol Of that new unity. The blue and
the gray Of former days have been
blended in the olive drab of the khaki !:
and the 1900 American boys who lie
buried IN France sealed with their
blood the pledge that North and South
and East and West are one.
Memorial day should be day of de-
votion to quickening the spirit of
brotherhood In peace with those who
have shared the brotherhood of arms.

of America who sleep with their equal

quarrels and keep sacred on the affairs
