Ow- ing to the belated snow making 1t im- possible to decorate the graves of our soldier and sailor dead. impressive services were held in Barracks Square and were attended by the bulk of the population.
 The ceremonies centered around the base of a drapcd memorial column bearing Il scroll inscribed with the names of those who perished in the army and naval service during the war. The program was opened with invocation by Rev. Richard Decker, D. D., followed by an oration by Hon. James J. Began. representative of the American Legion. Mir. Bogan paid eloquent tribute to thoses who lost their lives while in the nations ser- vice and delivered a stirring urge for the advancement of American princi- pies and ideals and the support of Am- erican institutions. At the close of the address, the uniformed membeau of Nome Post and the members of the Coast Guard laid floral offerings at the base of the flag diaped column.
 As the ceremony ended. the sailors and former soldiers came to rigid att tention while the stirring strains of
 America were sung by the assemblage.
 Following Rev. R. A. Ruppert. s. J..
 delivered an address in which he pointed out in eloquent phraseE the lesson of service portrayed by those
 who fell in the Great War and admon- ished his hearers that devotion to principle is the corner stone of human progress and civilization. X firing squad of the American Legion then fired three volleys and the services ended with the mournful strains of Taps"
 The ceremonies were directed by Capt. Thos. A. Ross on behalf of the American Legion.
