PAY H0N0RS TO
FIRST TO DIE
CPL. GRESHAM AND PRIVATE EN-
RIGHT ARE AT FINAL REST.
PVT. HAY SENT HOME.
FELL ON NOVEMBER 3, 1917
Thousands Minge Sorrow and Pride
at Bers of Soldiers Who Marked
the Beginning of Americas
Great Blood Sacrifice.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-On the night of No
yember 3, 1917 America paid first toll
in the great blood sacrifice she was
destined to make in order that democ-
racy might live. Under cover of dark
ness, on the memorable night, Ger
many's highly trained fighters raided
an American trench. After the re-
pulse, three American youths were
dead on the field-the first of the
doughboys to die in the great war.
Three years and a half after that
historic trench raid, two of the Ameri-
can heroes were laid away with all of
the honors and pride and sorrow that
grateful nation can show for those
who had the distinction of being the
first to blaze the trail to the supreme
sacrifice-the first to show how Amer.
leans could die in the war against the
German hosts.
Private Thomas Enright was buried
here, among his own home people.
Corporal James Bethel Gresham was
carried to his last resting place in the
green hills of Locus Hill cemetery,
at Evansville, Ind The body of the
third hero, Private Merle D. Hay is
on its way to Gidden, Ia, from whence
young Hay went to lis great advent
ure on foreign fields.
Silence-Poignant with memories to
thousands of Pittsburghers of the boys
who marched away so gaily in 1917
and 1918, and Of some of those care
less, gallant boys who never returned.
Then the measured toll of morning
bells, the dull griend of caisson wheels,
somewhere a mothers hushed sob, the
crash Of the volley at the grave, the
sad, sweet notes of taps, the soldiers
last call In paying last respects at
the funeral Of Private Enright Pitts
burgh paused to remember all the
thousands Of a nations bravest who
died among the wheat fields and poppy
groves of the lands across the sea.
Comrades who had followed their
"buddy" to battle marched behind the
gun carriage which bore his body on
its last journey to st. Marys ceme-
terry Lawrencevile. Thousands of
persons who lined the route followed
by the procession came not to pay
tribute alone to Private Enright, but
to the boys whom they knew who died
cover there The services impressed
not as a tribute TO any individual, but
as an opportunity to remember every
member of that vast army of the dead
that army which made the supreme
sacrifice.

PRECEDENT B5ONEN
TO GREET HERRICE
FRANCE TREATS AMBASSADOR
LIKE VISITING MONARCH.
BRAND PRESENT.
COOPERATION is PLEDGED
Police Reserves Keep Back Crowds
When New Envoy Goes to the
Palace to Present His Gre
dentias.

Paris.-French precedent as estab-
lished by protocols was thrown aside
by President AIileraud and Myron T.
Herric, American ambassador to The
French republic, when Mr. HerricB
presented his credentials to the pres
ident in the grand salon of the Elysee
Palace in the presence of Premier Bri-
and, N. De Foukuieres of the French
foreign office, naval military and tech
meal eounsellors and attaches OF the
American embassy.
President Millerand after Iauding
Ambassador Herrick's previous serv-
ice as q diplomat, assured the ambas-
sador that France is ready to work to-.
wards the establishment of peaceful
and normal relations between the two
peoples
81 feel sure, he said, that this sen.
timent is in accord with the aspira-
lions of the American nation as inter-
preted by President Harding in taking
the initiative in an International CON
ference in which France intends to as.
sociate ITSELF
Not only did Ambassador Herrc5
override the strict formality hitherto
observed by presenting a fervent mes
sage and prayer for cooperation in
solving world problems for the benefit
of France and the United States and
world peace, but President Millerand
rendered to Ambassador Herrick hon
ors usually reserved for visiting mon
archs. Instead of the usual cavalry
squadron escort a whole company of
the famous One Hundred and Third
Infantry, commanded by Col. Bezu.
lined the courtyard with colors flying
and bayonets fixed while the regi.
mental band played the Star Span.
gled Banner"
In addition platoons of the Garde
Republicaine and exceptional police
reserves kept back the crowds as the
ambassador seated by the master Of
the protocol in all his gold braided
diplomatic glory, drove in a blue and
gold tatecarriage from the embassy
to the presidents mansion.
The ceremony lasted Just under half
an hour. Ambassador Herricks theme
was one Of action instead of words.
He pledged himself to apply his best
efforts to assist in the practical work
which is vital to the solution of the
problems under which France and the
whole world is staggering.
Reconstruction, both moral and ma
terial as well as prosperity, will come
only through hard, incessant labor and
economy said Mr. Herrick, and in
the measure which we respond to that
summons lies the future glory of
France and the United States and the
peace Of the world
Prior to the presentation Of the Gre
dentials, Mr.. Herrick paid a call upon
Premier BRAND, accompanied by Shell
don Whitehouse counsellor of the
American embassy, and then went to
tbe embassy, where he started upon
the actual duties of his office.

To ASSIST
ON DISARNING
GIVES APPROVAL AND Co-oPERA'
TON FOR CoNFERENCE-MAY
DEVELOP INFORMATION.
VlVlANl PRAISES EFFORT
Whatever Results Acsrue From Wash
ington Meeting May Be Used AS
Rule For Worlds League
Action In September.

Paris.-The league of nations is go-
ing ahead with its work in connection
with disarmament on the thory that 1t
will in no wise interfere with the pro-
posed conference on limitation of arm
aments in Washington and that it
may develop information which would
be of use to such a conference. That
was the decision announced at the
opening session Of the temporary
mixed commission appointed for the
reduction of ornaments, appointed by
the league, which was presided over
by Rene Viyiani of France, chairman
Of the commission.
NJ. Viyiani II. A. L. Fisher, the Brit
ish representative; Senator Carlo
Schanzer Of Italy, and the delegates
of the leading nations represented en-
the commission were agreed on this
and also were in accord in praise of
President Harding's initiative in pro-
posing a conference on ornaments.
They declared the league could not
but welcome joyfully all deliberations
having in view a solution Of the deli
cate and complex general question
which the league was studying object
lively.
Brief exchanges of views showed the.
delegates were impressed with the ne
cessity of proceeding prudently with
the question by stages, since it is inn
possible not to take into account the
special situation of certain countries
and the absence Of Russia and Ger.
many from the league.
NJ. Viyiani, in his address opening
the session, after reviewing the his
tory of the commission, said:
After indicating my conception of
how we should fulfill our mission, |
feel no hesitation in commenting ON
the great and noble initiative taken
by President Harding a few days ago.
We have not been surprised that the
head of the great American nation, so
powerful and so generous, and which
has so often discussed the question Of
disarmament, should have taken the
lead in assembling the various gov
ernments for the purpose of reaching
agreement. We should be the first to-
congratulate such action, and we are
happy to greet this step We are glad
to be associated in it, certain that the
work we are going to prepare cannot
but be taken into consideration by the
governments when we ourselves shall
be gathered next September, having
before us solution of the problems.
! do not say they will be definite, but
they will be precise.
81 may add that the question of dis
is so difficult, complex and
delicate that those who discuss it
must meet with preconceived notions,
ignorance and prejudices, and must
overcome traditions and economic diff
ficulties. There cannot be too many
of us who wish to concern ourselves
with this problem, to appeal to public
opinion and to prepare the world for
this question, that should be solved
and definitely solved.
"Such is the spirit in which we must
work, for truly it would not have been
worth while to have suffered the afro
cious war if we could not draw fruit
full lessons from the sacrifices of our
sons

UNIFORM POLICY
IS BOARDS AIM
GOV. HARDING CALLS MEETING OF
FIVE RESERVE BANKS IN
WASHINGTON
NO RADICAL DEPARTURES
Intention Is Merely to Secure co-ordi'
naton-Federal Farm Banks May
Adopt Missssippian's Sug-
gestion.

Washngton,-Gov Gen. Harding Of
the federal reserve board has wired
the five governors Of the reserve
banks in the cotton districts, namely,
Richmond Atlanta, Dallas, St.. Louis
and Kansas City, to be in Washing
ton for conference and discussion in
reference to a policy as to cotton loans.
1t was stated at the office of Gov.
Harding that the reserve banks in the
five cotton districts would be repre-.
scented at the forthcoming conference.
1t was also stated that it is not the
purpose of the federal reserve board
to formulate cotton loan policy, but
to hear from the governors of the re.
serve bank cotton districts as to the
policies which have guided them up to
this time in the matter of cotton loans.
A uniform policy is desired, and il
such a policy shall be evolved the
United States federal reserve board
will approve it.
In announcing this anticipated uni
form policy the reserve banks in the
five cotton districts will also state
exactly What they can do and what
they cannot do in making cotton
loans Such a statement is deemed
highly advisable in view of the recent
currency of misleading reports and
comments on the powers and the limi.
tations of reserve banks in handling
the cotton situation But, as stated,
the federal reserve board has no pol
icy Of its own formulation to submit
or suggest at this conference. The
question of a uniform cotton loan pol
icy, it is expected, will be formulated
by the five governors or representa-
tiyes Of the reserve banks who have
been requested to come to Washington
for that purpose.
The federal farm loan board has
decided to test out a proposition
which mad been submitted by S. L.
Beach Of West Point, Miss, secretary
treasurer of the Clay County branch
Of the National Farm Association to
increase the flexibility of farm loal
bonds.
1t is proposed that if the farmers
who have loans secured by mortgage
and held by the local banks will make
application through the usual chan
nels for loans from a federal farm
loan bank, and if approved the farm
loan board will authorize the taking
up of the loan by the local bank, Civ
ing to the local bank farm loan bonds
in the amount of the loans held by the
local bank. In other words, the farm
loan board takes over the loan and is
able to give the farmer the advan-
tage of long time loan with the
privileges which accrue under the
farm loan act-the local banks re-
ceiying the exchange of bonds in pay
ment of the loan agreed to hold the
bonds for given period and not to
sell them below par
The plan will be tried out in the
West Point district and if successful
will probobly be extended Mr., Beach
has had several conferences with mem.
ber5 of the farm loan boards recently.

Lots of boys will have great fun this summer hunting for eggs under the barn and in the h0yloft but few will find them as big as the eggs this young ster k gathering. They are ostrich eggs, laid on an American ostrich farm The eggs weigh nearly two pounds apiece and are good to eat, though much stronger than hens eggs.
