Then and Now

an Decoration day, IL was then
~ called, he always climbed the
hill out to the graveyard with his lit
tie hand In that Of his grandmother.
IL was a day that he looked forward
to for he was to carry some of the
flowers from his own garden to place
upon the grave of his grandfather, a
Northern captain who had lost his
life in tho charge at Chattanooga.
On all other days the sword hung
over the mantel-piece at home.
On this one day the boy was al
lowed to take the precious relic from
its resting place and examine 1t to
his hearts content.
The years passed. No longer
youth, now a man with a son of his
own, he heard the call of country
and answered. The blood of the best
American patriotism ran in his veins.
Among the first troops he crossed the
seas to fight for country and for JUS
tice. Stricken on the Argonne, he
too poured out his blood on the fields
of France. Today he lies among tho
noble, unforgotten dead. As in for
mer times he learned of the spirit of
sacrifice, his boy today is learning of
the same spirit of sacrifice which ex-
ats human life and makes IL divine.
So a great tradition binds the gem
erations to each other, enriched by
the Thousands of unselfish, noble men
and women who live and die to mako
men free.-Indianapolis Star.

Nav Of Sacred Memories.

So the day Is twin festival, dedi-
Gated to brave men and true patriots,
who in great crises did their duty
with a courage and devotion that will
ever be reproach to civilian slack
ness, and should be an inspiration to
more faithful and unselfish service.
Only so can the American people make
good their 'resolve that these dead
shall not have died In vaIn." 1t ought
not to be difficult to serve and be loyal
to a country for which gallant men
were content-and proud-to lay
down their lives, whether In the Vir-
glnia or the Argonne wilderness. So
wa come to another Memorial day.

Canada Decides Not To
Send Yacht Challenge

Although dispatches received from
various parts of Canada Indicate that
the announcement of a challenge for
a series of races for the Americas
Cup, to be held next summer, are
more or less premature as regards the
telegraphed advance notice of the
challenge sent by Alexander C. Ross
to Commodore Morgan of the New.
York Yacht Club, still it is generally
believed that a duly authorized chal-
lenge will be sent.
Developments in the challenge sit
uafion yesterday included the an
nouncement of E. r. McNutt, secre-
tary of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht
Squadron, that the challenge has not
as yet been Endorsed by that organiza-
ton, nor could it be until further de-
tails have been received from Mr..
Ross with regard to the resources
available for financing the enterprise
or the means of obtaining such funds.
However, according to Mr.. McNutt,
it is probable that any feasible plan
which may be evolved whereby
challenger may be sent to the United
States next year will receive the
united support. of the yachting organ
izatfons of Cape Breton and Nova
Scotia.
Reports from other centres, notably
Montreal, indicate that numerous
wealthy men of that and other Do
Y1inion cities may be expected either
to insure sufficient additional fnan-
cial support beyond what might be
raised by popular subscription to send
a challenger to this country, or pos
sIbly- to organize syndicate to do it
without calling upon the public
One prominent Canadian who did
not wish his identity to be disclosed
said that, rather than have Canada
brought into a sporting proposition,
as has been the case, and then fall
down because of lack of financial
backing to carry it through with, he
was sure a syndicate would be form
ed to carry it through to a successful
conclusion. MIR. Ross has started
something and it looks though
others will have to carry it through,
whether he does or not" was the way
he described the situation, and a cou-
pie of other wealthy Canadians who
were with him at the time concurred.
The Americas Cup Committee of
the New York Yacht Club cannot con-
slider, the Geographic communication
received from Mr.. Ross to a greater
extent than to acknowledge receipt
of II and advise that it awaits the for
mai challenge concerning the neces-
sary details.
! 1t is generally believed in yacht
ling cidcles that, were certain restric-
tions imposed upon challenger and
defender alike which might tend to
produce sturdier craft which would
not have to seek shelter in a blow as
