Rev C. M. Reyes Delivers Strong Address at Services by Campbell
 Post-Raps |. s. Senate.

the First Methodist church, the Theo- dore Campbell post of the American Legion Sunday afternoon held servic- es in memory of the young men of this county who made the supreme sacri- fee in the late world war The mem orial address was made by Rev. C. M. Reyes, pastor of the church and for merly a chaplain overseas. Ccrtiti- cates expressing the gratitude of France to relatives of the dead were presented by Heber L. McAlister, post commander. An impressive moment at the conclusion of the service was the sounding of taps, first on a cornet from the choir and then on a flute in the rear of the auditorium.
 Certificates by the government to France are extremely artistic and we'll worthy of preservation. The central panel is drawing by Franklin Booth, under which is written the name of the fallen soldier, and an ex- pression of homage by France It is signed by Raymond Poincare, presi- dent of the French republic during the war. The whole is a steel engray- ing of excellent worth.
 Rev. Reyes in his address first de- tailed the horrible system of govern ment and the practices in war of the Germans, to make his audience under stand more clearly the size of the un- dertaking which the American army faced, and in which success was final ly achieved. He told of the German doctrine which places might as su- perior to right, and the German scheme Of conquest, from which the sacri- fees of Americas young men saved this and other countries. Apprecia- tion, congratulation and dedication should characterize the though of America for her dead, the speaker de- clared. Their sacrifices make even more imperative an open stand for right.
 The speaker took issue with mem bers of the American senate who had attempted to belittle the spirit of the army. If members of the senate had held the lines at Chateau Thierry and in the Argonne,' he declared, q dare to say the history of those bat ties would be different. All soldiers, 1t is true, could not express their ideal ism in the lofty phrases used by our president, but I like to believe the ma- jority of our boys felt the same noble 
 Nearest of kin, in most cases, were present to receive the memorial cer- tlhcates. Among the certificates sent by state headquarters of the Ameri- can Legion was one for relatives of Private George N. Gillian, of whom the post had no information.
