HONOR THE FALLEN
May elaboration Day


Again the American people will
honor the heroes who have fought and
died for their country.
1t will bring sorrow and sadness to
a nation Of people, and painful mem
cries to many hearts. But it is a
sacred duty we owe to those who have
made the great sacrifice. 1t is priv.
ilege to those who have identified
tn misfortuns of others.
A nation is only as great as its peo-
pie and the record of Americas great
ness is Illuminated by the graves of
her fallen sons.
No word that we may utter, no act
that we may perform, will add to or
detract from the nobility of their
great service to their great service to
their country.
But we may be true to ourselves, to
our country, and to our God, by rev.
erestly, concentrating the noblest
act of mankind-the sacrifice of
life that home and country may be pre-
served and that others may live and
prosper.
Heroes of all American wars! In
humility and sadness of heart, in
pride and glory of your achievements
in our knowledge that heaven is fit
ting abode for heroes, we humbly sal
ute the unconquerable spirit of your
valor and fidelityl
Peace to your eternal slumbers! !,

for wheat, oats, pastures, potatoes,

were droughty at the beginning Of
the week. More rain is still needed,
especially in some of the extreme

good and potatoes are coming up well.
Considerable corn is planted in the

WHAT SORT OF BARTER IS
THIS?

The real purpose of the forthcom-
ing visit of M. Viviani to this coun-
try is to ascertain what foreign poll
cy President Harding intends to sub
stltute for the league of nations. adj
vocate by his predecessor in the White
House. The New York Herald is
authority for the information that
Mr.. Harding anticipates a request
from France, and possibly Great Bri-
tain and Italy, that the United States
publicly announce it's approval of the
reparation demands upon Germany.
1t is said that compliance with the
request IS likely to be made, condi-
toned upon the recognition by the al
lies OF the rights of this country in
the island of zap and that the United
States shall have equal privileges
with other nations in the DEVELOPMENT
of the resources in mandatory coun-
tries.
Such proposition is preposterous,
and the New York Herald may rest
assured that its Washington CORES
pondent has been misinformed. The
United States has not reached the
point where it must purchase recog-
milton of rights byyielding it's stand
upon policy previously announced
American claims regarding Yap and
the other mandate countries are one
thing, and American endorsement of
the reparation program is quite
another There is no relation between
the two.
The whole tenor of President Hard.
ing's inaugural address was that the
United States should not become in
volved in the affairs of Europe, which
is precisely what would take place
were America to take sides with re.
spect to the terms of peace between
Germany and the allies. 1t is equally
certain that Mr.. Harding will insist
on American rights in zap and every.
where else in the world. American
embodiment in Europe is a price that
the President will never pay to avoic
possible difficulty in asserting those
rights.
