was called to face his Creator, but
am sure it was not with regret he gave
his life for his country.
(; His loved ones have been proud OF
their sacrifice. So long as America
has such wives and such mothers she
need have no fear for her future.
I'VE are assembled here not ia
honor Leo LeBron, but we are here
/! begging to be allowed in some small
way to share in his honor.
Ito the dear ones l wish to extend
the deepest appreciation of this entire
community. Your memories and your
sorrows are so sacred / would not
dare to intrude with fowery phrases.
ITO the living I would call atten-
ton to the fact that Leo LeBron is
calling you and is calling me to a
higher plane of patriotism and of cit
Iizenship. In the presence of his sac
Irifice it i'll behooves any of us to men
ition our part.
1.-TWO thousand years ago the man
of Gallilee, wore the thorns, bore the
cross, walked up the Mount of Calvary
and was crucified and all that was
mortal of him departed this earth, but
the principle for which he died has
encircled the globe giving US our
Sweetest flowers of love, hope, charity
and freedom Leo LeBron gave his
life that these principles might not
be swept from this earth. Let us
then so live that we may never cast
shadow on the memory of our de-
parted heroes.
Il cannot express my thoughts of
Leo LeBron in better words than these
chosen by the poet in referring to the
going out of his own brother:
You'll live, you'll live, young fellow.
my lad
In the CLEAN of the evening star
In the wood note wild and the laugh
of the child
And all the sweet things that are;
And you'll never die-our wonderful
boy
While life is noble and true,
For all of cur beauty, our hopes, our
joys,
We owe to the boys like you"
The March to the Cemetery.
The body was then taken out Of

Keokuk Concert band, the entire pro-

the head, and followed by the Spanish
war veterans and Ellrs marched to
the cemetery where the body was TO

People lined the streets, and the
bells of st. Johns and of the fire
department tolled as the procession
moved out the street. At the GENE
terry the procession was met by an
other tremendous concourse Of
people, and there was a Gordon of
humanity stationed along the road
to the family lot and around this
plot. The guard of honor took its
station and the casket was tenderly
borne to its last resting place Com.
initial services were said by the Rev.
Mr.. Lamont.
The firing squad fired its three

scenes of his life. Captain LeBron's !
summons was sudden, death came to |
him in flash, but l believe he was !
not sorry to go. He died as hero, I
and we are honoring him as such.

Captain LeBron, and the attitude of I

Berlin, Dec. s1.-The German gov
eminent officially denied today that
it had attempted TO use big stick in
obtaining favorable reparations de-
cisions.
French assertions that Herr Won
Simoqs, foreign minister, had threat
ened la breaking off of the Brussels
conference on reparations if COM
PEELED to disarm Bavarian citizens
guard, were denied emphatically.
Well Informed representatives OF
the entente in turn contradicted the
German statement. Won Simons'
words have had two meanings, they
said, but the sense of them was that
charged by the French. Won Simons
was said to have declared he could
not permit publication of the allied
demand for disarmament, fearing I'M
friendly comments in the German
press which would injure the concilia-
tory spirit of the Brussels negotia-
tons.
The situation here was complicated
by the appearance of q delegation of
Ruhr coal miners demanding disarm-
ament of the Bavarian guard on the
grounds that its retention may cause a
French invasion of the coal basin.

removal of the connecting car service
and direct and thru service.
Albert NJ. PaIten, general manager
of the Mckinley syndicate in Kansas.
appeared before the commission Tor
the local street railway company. He
said the present line is losing money
during the winter months and that
additional cars would add to operat-
ing expenses without improving rev.
enues.
Persons outside the city limits who
escape the higher taXations should
hardly expect metropolitan service to
be paid for by town patrons" Patten
said. He also asserted that some of
the complaints were due to the fact
that patrons of the car line did not
dress adequately and were not pre-
pared to face the cold waits which
were sometimes required in making
connections from the Melrose to the
Gage Park cars. No direct order was
issued in the case.
