Senator Harrington reminded the
people who had assembled to witness
the laying of the cornerstone that IL
was only short time as time runs
since Carson City people had gathered \
in large numbers In almost the identi- /
cal spot to hid godspeed to the first |
ormsby county boys to leave for the |
training camps and later to Europe, |
where more than two hundred Nevad-
ans gave their lives on the battlefields
of Flanders and France. After few
more fitting remarks he introduced
Justice Edward A. Quicker of the state
supreme court. the orator of the day.
Judge Ducker delivered a splendid
md well-received address. in which he
reviewed events in the European war
which necessitated Americas partici-
pation in order to save herself and Eu-
rope from being conquered by the Ger
man emperor and made subject to his
will to dominate the world. The
l. "A t,..f.
people of this country chose to fight
for the right, rather than do Ger
many's bidding and accept the 'easy
peace" that the Hohenzollerns would
nave been highly pleased to have given
America in order to keep the resources
of this country from turning the tide
| in favor of the cause upheld by our
selves and our allies. The Judge made
no effort to palliate the crimes against
civilization by the German rulers, but
arraigned them for their guilt. The
applause which greeted passages OF
the speech showed that he struck a
responsive chord in his hearers
The next speaker was Lieutenant
Governor Maurice j. sullivan, who act
Z ed as the adjutant general of Nevada
during the war. His remarks were d.
rected mainly to the relatives of Me-
vada men who made the supreme sac
rifice fol the salvation of their coun-
try. He expressed fhe deep sympaths
, felt for those who were thus bereave<
and expressed "the prayer that ths
fallen heroes have long since commin
gled with the army of God and tha
F they are today members of the Celes
tial Host; that the sound of taps bu
came to them as any other bugle call
that their spirits responded as ardent
ly as their bodies had to the calls the,
I heard in the army, and that when the
awakened to attention in the wori
beyond they gazed happily upon tn
: gracious features of the Commandin
Officer of us all"
