memorial Day Message To American
Legion stirs Men; Shows Presi-
dent Not In Favor Of
Sacrificing Lives

New York President Harding, in
memorial day message to the Ameri-
Tan Legion, made public Thursday, ex-
dressed hope that the future would
or'Ng less need for further national
SacrnceS The message follows:
Americans have never been much
gwen to the establishment of holidays
and fete days. Perhaps our national
'lie mas been so short, and entirely
WltInn so matter-of-fact and practical
period of the worlds history, that
we have been little moved by the sentl-
ments that such occasions inspire. Yet
think no nation has ever established
national day of conservation that
represented more lofty and ennobl-
Ing sentiment than does our national
Memorial day. To Its oberservance we
have brought the full measure Of sin
cere reverence and gratitude that a
great people Is ever to entertain for
those who have made the great sac
rifice In Its behalf.
Memorial day marks our recognl-
ton OF those who, from our national
beginnings, have deserved the most
that the nation could give of gratitude
and appreciation. 1t reminds us that
In every generation, from Lexington
to the Argonne, our valorous sons have
well deserved the highest tribute that
a nation, fortified, defended, preserv-
ed, could give to them. Whenever the
demand has come, and wherever II may
havs called the sons of our proud land,
Il has always been answered. Though
we have never been militant or war
loving people, there has been no time
when Americans did not rise to the full
measure of the recruitment which ma
tional honor and national safety i'm.
posed upon them. When national safe
ty was the cause. the response was nj.
ways insistent aud decisive. When
| civilization summoned and our sons
were called to other seas and soils, we
saw the same promptness, the same
zeal, the same devotion.
"On this Memorial day Of 1921, W,
stand, / trust. very close to peac,
achieved, to safety insured. May 4
be our common aim and purpose that
In the coming years, our nations ain
and policy shall be directed to make
certain that there shall be at least need
for further sacrifices, greatest guaran
tees Of the stability, the permanenc,
and the inspiring character Of those
Institutions of liberty to which our ma

Berlln.--No matter how good its in
tentions, Germany can never fulfill the
treaty of Versailles and the ghost of
Sultan Mkwawa will forever roam the

from a perusal of the government docu-

1t seems that Sultan Mkwawa, al
though dead, was important enough TO
have a special clause in the treaty as
article 246 says Germany shall deliver
over to the British government the
Skull of the late monarch. East Afri-
can negroes declare Sultan Mkwawa's

not know where IL Is. Likewise, II
cannot find the original koran of Calip
Gilman which article 246 Of the treaty
says was stolen from Medina by the
Turks and presented TO Kaiser VIII
