The voice, OF the city paused In
its chatter yesterday and hearts
sent forth their messages OF bene-
dietion to the nations soldier dead.
Throughout Washington. services
were held as tributes to those who
have made the supreme sacrifice
that their country might live.

its memorial to the country's
youngest hero dead living thing
which will become more impress

5o7 young maple trees, one for each
District man and woman who died
in the world war: For almost three
miles, on both sides of Sixteenth
street, from the north line of Web
ster street to Alaska avenue, these
young trees have been planted, and
from the hillside where Sixteenth
street meets Alaska avenue, the
long line of sturdy saplings stand
as an army in double file. looking
to the north where stands their
leader. the beautiful maple dedieat-
ed to Edward d. Adams, the first
OF the comrades to fall.
Bereaved Ones Cemforted.
Impressive ceremon4s near this
first tree marked the dedication,
symbolical for the waving memo
rials down the long limo to the
southwark. Parents of the fallen
soldiers came to be comforted by
the words OF Assistant Secretary
of War Benedict Crowell, and they
left the Heights to return down
the valley whence they may look
and remember that their sons
died not in vain.
The first tree was dedicated by
