STR0VE FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Armies Under the Stars and Stripes
Had Always the NobIsst Aims
Man May Know.

For two decades the recurrent OBJ
servance Of Memorial day has been
the regretful text for comment upon
the dwindling line Of 1.-THE Boys in
Blue" The World war has given an
added significance to the exercises Of
the day, which in all the years to
come will be dedicated also to '"The
Boys in Khaki" the young men Of
this generation who so nobly carried
ion the noble record established by
the men Of the early sixties. And In
between room will be preserved for
the veterans Of the var with Spain
In Cuba and the Philippines.
1t is a proud tradition that in each
Of these wars the armies beneath the
Stars and Stripes fought for human
liberty, not for greed of territory or
lust of power, but, In the immortal
words Of Lincoln, that government of
the people should not perish. And the
outcome in each has justified the
faith that conquer we must when our
cause it is just" A people that takes
up the sword only in such circumstan-
ces and with such spirit finds in the
solemn ceremonies Of Memorial day
a symbolism of patriotism. an avowal
of faith that can neve be Q~uenched.

THE MAYOR SHOWS THE
WAY

Unlike the mayors Of many towns,
who issue proclamations which they them
selves do not heed, our own Mayor Hen
dee led the way nobly during Cleanup
Week. Not satisfied with that, he arose
from his downy couch at the unseemly
hour Of six in the morning on last Tues
day for the express purpose of moving
his lawn.
The brides were twittering in the
brooks and the little fishes we're babbling
in the trees, and the golden head of the
sun, showing over the eastern horizon,
showering the world with rosy sparks as
our Mayor stole to the barn, treading
softly on his 0'Sullivan's heels, for fear
of awakening the gently slumbering pop
ulace and the other Commissioners
Gently the barn door swung open, dis
closing the Mayoral lawn mower in all
its pristine glory. C~rasping the handles
gently but firmly, Hizzoner propelled it
over the verdant heritage.
Imagine! The Mayor of Wildwood
moving a lawn! This, indeed, is un-
PARALLEL Democracy. The millennium
has arrived.

WILDWOOD ATHLETIC CLUB
WINS EASILY

In a game marked by sloppy playing
the Wildwood Athletic Club closed their
season last Saturday, May l4th.
Owing to the poor turnout last We'd
nesday, which was a benefit game for the
players, the management booked another
game with the Wilmington Athletic As
ISOLATION, champions of Wilmington, Del.
The final score was 25-9. The game,
which was played to a crowd of about
three hundred, was notable for the clum-
siness on the Wilmington side and the
listlessness of our boys. 1t is the last
game that will be played by the Athletic
Club in the Casino Danceland this year.
Wildwood's lineup:
Livezey, center.

Over the graves of those long dead,
Dead on the Field Of Honor.

To fight on the Field Of Honor.

The Atlantic Division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has called a conference
of the Red Cross workers of South Jer-
sey, to be held in Atlantic City, on Fri

'It was a striking demonstration of
devotion to Red Cross ideals and reflects
credit upon many Chapter and Branch

terpret those ideals in each local COM
munity. May l extend to the people of
Cape May County, through your Chapter,
my. deep appreciation of the continued

only the slow chisel of time car
carve the truth of history. That which
we debate holly and surround with
words and eagerness and doubts and
disappointments fades and is forgot
ten. Some simple fact, seldom upon
u tongues and too obvious to be dis
cussed, is left standing against the
horizon.
The beginning of some such ~revalua-
ton made itself felt on Memorial day
last year. In the commemoraton of
the day here and abroad there was a
silent power that all who participated
could not but feel. Tears were nearer
the surface than any one suspected,
memories more poignant. The very
thought Of our dead lying In the soil Of
France, their graves covered with flow
ers by the hands of French women
and French children, the bugles of
their French comrades blowing over
them, stirs the deeps Of reverence and
loyalty.
A scene in France, In one of the
largest cemeteries In which American
soldiers are buried, is thus beautifully
described:
Scene Most PICTURESQUE.
Beyond the wall masses of purple
lilacs spread against the low red roofs
Of the houses. In the distance a few
lazy clouds, In sky of blue, hung about
the old cathedral spires. Bird calls
and scent of flowers filed the air. At
our feet low mounds and white
crosses. Above Dur heads, at half mast.
the Stars and Stripes.
Monsieur G~ounelle, in black cassock,
spoke in French and explained to his
people the meaning of Memorial day.
One felt, instinctively, their sympathy
and love.
Then we laid on every grave a spray
of flowers and breathed a prayer for
the absent ones. Each girl felt per-
sonally responsible for each mound IN
the row she decorated. How clear the
names on those crosses stood out even
though a year had passed.
The French officers laid a wreath at
the foot of the flag pole and one of
them spoke with tenderness of the he
roes who had gone on. Already there
hung upon the pole lovely wreaths
from the Vile de C~hateauroux, from
the French mothers association, and
other local organizations.
The chaplain from the post at Mon
tierchaume addressed US, and then
three volleys rang out upon the air,
he missives wipging their way over
the white crosses and silencing for a
moment the song Of the birds. A young
marine faced the flag, saluted, and
placed a bugle to his lips. Upon the
warm clear air Of that May day there
fioated down the sweet and plaintive
notes Of "Taps." And-it was finished.
Girls Scatter VloIets.
But wait. Who are these? Out Of
the watching throng came young
French girls, to scatter violets upon
our graves. And they told US, oh
mothers Of America, that they would

 The result, so far as the Hawaiian race is concerned, is said to be new racial group, fecund to a high degree, still abnormally susceptible to civili- zation's diseases, but with much high CT resistant powerse ethan the old Ha- waiian stock and visibly adding to it's numbers
 While the women of Korea lead all other males and females in the islands in marrying within their own race, there are other groups which are close second in this respect. Only O.3 of per cent of Japanese women contract out-marriages. or unions with men of other races, while OF of per cent of Japanese men so pick their mates. The percentage for the Chinese is 6 per cent for the wom- en and 41.5 per cent for the men; Americans, 179 for the women and 51.7 for the men; Portuguese, 32.3 women, 13.0 men; Hawaiian, 4O-5 women, 1915 men.
 The pure Hawaiian death rate is the highest in the islands, 1S.4S per thousand annually, although the pure Hawaiian birth rate is nearly twice as high as American, British and oth- CT whites. Scientists recognize that susceptibility to diseases of civiliza- tion is responsible for the disappear ance of the pure Hawaiian race, but the figures just made public by Mir Sullivan are the first to show that intermarriage is rebuilding the old race into stronger. more hardy peo- pie.

INFUSION OF ALIEN BLOOD. BY NTER-MARRIAGE RESULTING IN
 REBUILDING OF HAWAIIAN RACE

HONOLULU, T. H., April 30.-The Hawaiian race, which with the Poly nesians in general, has been regard ed as a dying people, is being re- born and reinvigorated by infusion of alien blood, according to statistics just compiled by Louis R. Sullivan, of the New York Museum of Natural Museum in Honolulu.
 Sullivan has just completed andy sis of 14,569 marriages in the island, selected at random, and his findings in some cases have been surprises to science.
 According to the tables, more Amer ican men in the territory marry wom- en of blood foreign to their own than marry American or British women. The Japanese are not, as has been supposed, the most prolific race in theI islands, but are surpassed in this re- gard by Portuguese, Porto Ricans, part -Hawaiians and Spanish. Of American women, more than one in every six living in the islands marry Hawaiians, part -Hawaiians and others of blood strange to their ancestry. or all the racial groups, the Korean women represent the only one which refuses to mix blood. not a single case of a Korean woman marrying man other than a Korean having been discovered.
 As whole, the tables indicate. the rt-Hawaiian group has tendency to consolidate. rather than scatter, since of Caucasian Hawaiian males who marry. S2.7 per cent marry back into the full-blooded Hawaiian strain, while only 13.S per cent take white wives and the remainder, either in- breed among their own kind or mar
