LEAD PAYS TRIBUTE .
TO SOLDIERS
WOOD CHIEF SPEAKER AT CERE-
MONIES HELD IN HOME
STAKE AUDITORIUM.

Lead, March 23.-Lead is the home
of the world famed Homestake mine.
During the great war 2,200 of its
boys fought for the Stars and Stripes
and 20 Of them made the supreme
sacrifice. Sunday afternoon the MEM
ory of these dead was honored by the
American Legion post here and cer-
tificates of valor were presented to
the next of kin. on behalf of the re-
public of France, whose integrity
these boys died to save. The great
Homestake auditorium was crowded
to capacity for the ceremonies. A
score or more of races were repre-
|sented. All were Americans and all
bowed their heads in tribute to those
who had died that their country
might live and democracy be pre-
served.
The occasion was made doubly i'm
pressive by the presence of Gen.
Leonard Wood, who delivered brief
memorial address.
LET us see to it," he declared,
that our boys never go into war
again without adequate preparation.
Uet us maintain the world respect
and friendship which we gained from
the great war so that we may In
the future all stand together to full
fill the mandates of civilization"
Referring to the attacks which
have been made on those wearing the
uniform of the United States army
General Wood said:
"'Those who attack the uniform of
their country are insulting the men,
| cries of every man who has worn it
or who has died in it since the foun-
dation of this republic. The uniform
of the soldier typifies the nation just
as the Stars and Stripes typifies na-
tional sovereignty. 1t is the clothing
which men wear when they die for
their country, and it is the clothing
in which men always will die for the
same cause. An insult or a slur di-
rected at it is an insult and .slur ia
America and all her institutions"
A tableau representing "The Defen-
ders of Belgium" was the conclud-
ing number. 1t was most admirably
staged and showed France, England
Italy and the United States in success
sion coming to the aid of the brave
little nation which withstood the first
drive of the kaiser's great army and
| thus saved civilization at the cost oi
its own destruction.

Dell Rapids original intention was

IF WILSON RUNS
FOR PRESIDENT
POLITICAL WASHINGTON WAIT.
ING BREATHLESS FOR NEXT
MOVE ON TREATY.

Washington, March 23.-If Presi-
dent Wilson is to run for third term
on the issue of treaty ratification now
is the psychological time for him to
make it known, in the opinion of
close political observers in Washing
ton.
The White House is being anxious
ly watched by democratic party lead
ers for some indication of what the
president will do, now that the SEN
ate has returned the treaty to him.
Officials of the party organization
privately profess to believe there is
no chance of Wilson becoming a car
didate on ratification platform. But
1t is considered significant that no
definite word has come from the ex-
ecutive mansion and members of the
presidents household refuse even to
talk about it.
A public declaration is expected
soon. In that message to the people
Of the United States, the president is
expected to announce that the treaty
is in the campaign and that he will
not abandon the idea of having a real
League of Nations with America in it
and that he will await with conf
dence the verdict of the voters in No
vember.
Those who believe Wilson may run
again argue it is logical for him to
come forward now as the one candi-
date whose election would mean be-
yond doubt that the people demand
ratification. His health>is the biggest
obstacle, according to those close to
the White House. Persons who know
him and travelled with him on his
speaking tour last fall believe that
the importance of treaty ratification
transcends everything, in his estima-
tion. He considers the treaty is
greater than politics or third term
traditions. II he feels that such a
step would assure ratification he
would be strongly impelled to enter
the arena to clarity the issue in the
campaign his friends say. At the
very least he is expected to get into
the fight to the extent Of attempting
to dictate a treaty plank for the dem
|ocratic platform, and designating
some candidate to make the race on
that principle. as q Wilson man."
