Memorial Day
Service Pledge
General Calls Nation TO Con-
secrate Itself Anew to
Work i'm Which It's Hero
Dead Gave Their Lives
Weeks Joins in Message
Fitting Time 10 Renew Our
Faith in Americas Ideals,
Says Secretary of War

WASHINGTON. May Memorial
Day messages bespeaking a reafirma-
tion of loyalty and service to the ma
tion ON the part of the American peo-
pic were issued tonight by General
Pershing and Secretary of War
Weeks.
General Pershing declared that Me
mortal Day should symbolic a new
conservation of our lives to service" "
while Secretary Weeks said it was on
Memorial Day ain the presence of cur
dead that Americans can renew their
faith in our ideals and institutions
and reaffirm their pledge of unceasing
loyalty TO the Republic"
Thoughts Go Back
Memorial Day each year comes to us
in the height of springtime, with all
nature in blossom" said General Per-
shing. at is the season when the world
bursts forth in the beauty of new life
and new hopes, and when warm senti-
ments fill the human heart In the
midst of these surroundings our
thoughts turn backward to the memory
of loved ones, and we gather to honor
the services and the herosm of those
who gave their lives to the country.
We live over with them the davs of
pleasure and sorrow as we review their
service and their sacrifice. While our
hearts are saddened, like to think
that those whom we remember are here
with us, and that they understand why
we are assembled.
Il like to feel that our new resolves
inn fra, In -,.,l, l. IL
have left us. The season should sym
bolize a new consecration of our lives
TO service. 1t should cause US to re-
awaken our own patriotism and renew
our ideals OF brotherly love and devo-
ton to country. 1t should move US to
search our souls for evidence that life
is not a mere selfish pursuit of pleas
ure or wealth or fame. 1t should teach
US to understand that each one is called
upon to contribute 10 the well-being of
mankind and that the greater our de
votion and our sacrifices the more wor-
thy will be our contribution to our fell
low-man."
Lest We Forget
Lest we forget" said Secretary
spring of each year when the nation
turns from It's business and industry
and its citizens lay aside the imple-
ments of their professions and trades
TO gather in the secluded and shady
paths of our national cemeteries to do
honor to the nations dead. 1t is day
when we turn our faces to the past
instead OF the future and recall the
deeds of the heroic dead whose sacri-
fees have made and preserved US a
nation.
81 do not think we could adopt a
more beautiful way of remembering
our dead than the annual custom of
placing flowers on the graves of those
who have passed throurh the gateway,
and it is on Memorial Day, in the pres
ence of our dead. that Americans can
renew their faith in our ideals and
institutions and reaffirm their pledge
Of unceasing loyalty to the republic" "

To Sell Grain
Continued from page ons)

Continued from paso ons)
ton of the United States Grain
Growers, Inc, set forth, Mr.. Gustaf-
son said, that the fundamental reason
Sor the lack of adequate profits in
farming was the faulty system of
marketing products.
Grain prices in the United States
are determined in few large centers
of distribution known as the terminal
markets." the report stated. "The
market places at these terminals have
been owned operated and maintained d
by private closed corporations or asso-
Citations known as grain exchanges or
boards of trade. We haze learned
that elevator companies distributing
earnings on basis of patronage cannot
become members of these exchanges.
The effect of this is the exclusion of
farmer cooperative grain dealers from
the terminal grain markets OF our
country. The grain exchanges furnish
the facilities by which speculation in
grain and its products lis carried on to
an extent that almost sfagCers COM
prehension
THE inevitable result of this un-
limited speculation is constant manipu-
lation of prices and great losses to
producers and the public generally.
The only adequate remedy for these
conditions is for farmers to enter en-
tensively into the business OF grain
distribution, merchandising grain as
the products of other industries are
merchandised.

Broadway Sees Last of
Frolic; Volstead Did Ii
Ziegfeld to Take Famous Show
to London, Where Walters
Still Disnense Cheer

Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolic" has
passed forever so far as Broadway is
concerned. The show, which has be-
come famous the world around as a
midnight entertainment, passed into
oblivion last night when one of the
largest crowds that ever assembled on
the Amsterdam Roof witnessed the
final American performance.
Mr. Ziegfeld has explained that the
reason for the closing is prohibition as
enforced by the New York police. He
declares that the methods used by Mr..
Enright's men in painting the Gay
White Way melancholy blue is not
compatible with entertainments of the
high standard of the Midnight Frolic.
AS the last Ziegfeld girl danced from
the stage roof last night, Victor Kiraly,
manager of the roof, sighed and said,
"Well boys, this is the finish"
The Frolic will open later in the
season in London, where, through ar
rangement with Gilbert Miller, it will
become a part of London night life.

Railways Last Year
Steam Lines Figures Show
7 Per Cent Increase; At
lantic Avenue Station in
Brooklyn Biggest Point

More :kan two hundred and fifty
million passengers used the various
steam railroad lines in and out of New
York last year, according to figures fur
nished the Transit Commission by the
railroad companies. This includes travel
in and out of New York on the Hud-
son and Manhattan Railroad tubes,
which amounted to 5 6S5,868.
The Atlantic Avenue station Of the
Long Island Railroad in Brooklyn con-
tinuese still to be the heaviest single
traffic point of all the steam rail-
roads entering the city. Over the two
tracks in and out of the Atlantic Ave
nue. station there flows a traffic which
amounted last year to 33,968,09O pass
engers. This is an increase of more
than 100000, or more than % per
cent, over the previous year.
The grand total of traffic-252, 1855
represents an increase. of over 49,
100000, or slightly more than per
cent, over 1919.
Of the other roads, the Erie Railroad
carried 27.377, 1865 passengers in and
out of Jersey City, Of whom, it is esti-
mated, fully two-thirds used the Hud-
son tubes, and are, therefore, also COM
puted with the total of passengers
carried by the Hudson and Manhattan
Railroad. The same thing is true of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern, which carried about 21,500,000
passengers, of whom fully one-hal4
used the Hudson tubes to and from
New York.
The New York Central, on its sew
eral lines, carried over 28,oO0,00O pas
sengers, of whom 20,500 900 came in
and out of the Grand Central Station,
The New Haven Railroad carried in
and out of the Grand Central 16,500,000,
making a total traffic of about 37000,-
600 passengers for that terminal last
year.
The Pennsylvania Terminal had a
total traffic of about 34,000000 passen-
gers, the number of passengers carried
by the Long Island Railroad into that
station being 23,440,000, or nearly
twice as many as the number carried
by the Pennsylvania itself, the latter
figure being 1,717,490.
Every railroad line in New York
showed an increase in passenger traffic,
with the exception of The Hudson and
Manhattan lines, where the traffic de-
creased about 100000 passengers dur
ing the year. This decrease was found
upon all the uptown stations of this
road between Christopher Street and
Twenty-third Street, inclusive. The
Hudson Terminal station of this line
showed an increase of approximately
quarters of million over the
previous year.

Relief Fund for State
Veterans Is Organized

The organization of the State Vet
erans' Relief Fund was announced yes
terday by the board of trustees. This
is the only organization of it's kind to
be incorporated by special act of the
Legislature to receive and administer
funds for soldier relief work
The principal object of this organ
ization," the announcement reads, lis
to secure for the public a reliable
channel through which funds donated
in behalf of the men and women who
fought in the World War may be hon
estly and carefully administered in d
Dusinesslike fashion. Conditions among
the disabled are now we'll known
Emergency cases frequently can
not be reached promptly by gov
ernment funds Furthermore, many
men are up against it for reasons
other than that of disability, and they
are entitled to no government relief
1t is our belief that thousands of eX-
service men and women in the state
will be glad of this opportunity to help
their less fortunate comrades by as
signment or partial assignment of their
bonuses. This organization will soon
be in a position to accept such dona-
tions and contributions from all
sources and to see that they are ad-
ministered to soldiers, sailors and
marines who are needy, i'll, out Of
work, or otherwise deserving of aid.
The extent of the work which we are
able to accomplish will be measured en-
tirely by the response which is made in
the way of bonus assignment and of
other donations to the fund"
The corporation expects to begin it's
work at once. Colonel Robbins as
serted that the relief fund would open
unemployment bureau for veterans
just as soon as sufficient funds were
available.

Triple Holiday Causes
Big Exodus From City
OUTGOING Traffic Estimated as
80 Per Cent Above That
of Last Year

Hundreds of thousands of New York
ers took advantage yesterday of the
three-day vacation to go to mountain,
lake and shore resorts. AS a result all
railroads reported heavy increases in
Memorial Day traffic over last year.
The New York Central reported all
trains carrying extra cars and some
trains running in two sections. 1t was
estimated that the three-day feature
of the holiday had caused 30 per cent
more people to travel this year than
last. The traffic was reported particu-
larly heavy to Niagara Falls, Lake
Placid and Clayton. Traffic to ST.
Louis, Chicago and all points west was
greatly increased by the rush.
The Office of the general superin-
tendent of the Penn sylvania Railroad
reported that traffic had been swelled
at least Is per cent by the recreation
seekers, The traffic was said to be
heaviest to Atlantic City, Asbury Park,
Long Branch, Cape May and other At
lantic Coast points.

"Dr. Seaman would be of consider
able service to the camp by virtue of
his extensive experience and he would
make an ideal instructor, as we'll as an
unusually adaptable rookie" Captain
Coulter said. For this reason we want
to get him in If possible.
at is interesting to note that DR.
Seaman, or Major Seaman as he is
known by veterans of more than a half
dozen armies, served first in the Span
lsh h-Arnerican War, then in the Boer
War, the Philippine trouble, the Boxer
rebellion, the Russo Japanese War, the
Herrero War in German East Africa,
the Balkan War on the side of the
Serbians and then in the World War
with the Belgian and British armies
He is an Nj. D., an A. B.. an LII. D. and
a Fellow of the Royal Geographical
Society of England"
DR.. Seaman's is one of more than
2,700 applications received to date for
admission to the Red, or elementary
camp this year. Of the total number
200 were obtained in the campaign con
Quoted last week at the Moss Broadway
Theater, 1889 Broadway. Committees

Veteran Of Eight Vars, at 65,
Eager to Enter Training Camp
DIR. Seaman, Who Has Seen Service Under
Many Flags, Is Ready to Shoulder Pack
and Rifle With the Ardor of Man Half His Age

A veteran of eight wars, an officer in
all of them and more than sixty-five
years old, though as ft as most men at
thirty. DR.. Louis L. Seaman, 247 Fifth
Avenue, q physician and surgeon, has
sent in his application for admission
to the citizens military training camp
to be held at Plattsburg August to
September &. His letter to the recruit
ing adjutant at Governors Island sets
forth the need for additional training
in infantry drill, in order, it is pre-
sumed, to fit him for q maximum de-
gree of service in the event of another
national emergency.
Whether DR.. Seaman's application
will be accepted depends upon the ac-
tiou of the Adjutant General OF the
Army in Washington, to whom re-
quest in the physicians behalf has
gone forth from Major Harvey H.
Fletchers office, Fort Jay. Captain C.
S. Coulter, assistant to Major Fletcher,
the recruiting adjutant, pointed out
that although the next Plattsburg
camp is for men between the ages of
sixteen and thirty-fve who have not
had the benefit of previous training,
the adjutant general has been asked to
make an exception in DR.. Seaman s
case, if possible.

Economic Necessity Causes Pic
turesque Headdress To
BE Discarded

CONSTANTINOPLE, May (By
Mail).-The National Assembly in An
CORA has decided that the fez is no
longer to be the national headdress
of the Turk. By unanimous vote it was
agreed that the "kalpak" should re-
place it, as the uniform covering for
the head of all troops, officials and
Turkish subjects generally.
The principal argument in favor of
this reform, which eliminates one of
the most characteristic and picturesque
features of Turkish attire, was an eco
nomical one. The Turks have never
been able to manufacture fezes that
compared in price or quality with those
manufactured abroad, especially in
Austria, where there we're several large
factories which turned out millions of
