T0LEG|ON POST
Memorial Day Greetings to Ex.
press Hope That National
Sacrifices Are Ended.

NEW YORK. May 17.-Prcsident
Harding. in a Memorial Day mes
sage to the American Legion, made pub
lie last night, expressed hope that the
future years would bring less need for
further national sacrifices The mes
sage follows:
Americans have never been much
given to the establishment of holt
days and fete days. Perhaps our
national life has been SO short and
entirely within SO matter-of-fact
and practical a period of the worlds
history that we have been little
moved by the sentiments that such
occasions inspire Yet. / think no
nation has ever established a ma
tional day of conservation that rep
resented a more lofty and ennobl-
ing sentiment than does our ma
tional Memorial Day. To its observ-
ance we have brought the full
measure of sincere reverence and
gratitude that a great people Is
ever to entertain for those who
have made the great sacrifice in its
behalf.
Memorial Day marks our recogni-
al beginning. have deserved the
most that the nation could give OF
gratitude and appreciation. 1t re-
minds us that in every generation.
from Lexington to the Argonne, our
valorous sons have we'll deserved
the highest tribute that a nation
fortified. defended, preserved, could
give to them. Whenever the de-
mand has come and wherever ii
may have called the sons of our
proud land, it has always been an
swered. Though we have never
been a militant or war-loving peo-
pie, there has been no time when
Americans did not rise to the full
measure of the requirement which
national honor and national safety
imposed upon them. When national
safety was the cause, the response
was always insistent and decisive.
When civilization summoned, and
our sons were called to other seas
and skies and soils, we saw the
same promptness, the same zeal, the
same devotion.
On this Memorial Day Of 1921 We
stand. / trust very close to peace
achieved, to safety insured. May
IL be our common aim and purpose
that. in the coming years. our ma
tons aim and policy shall be d.
rected to make certain that there
shall be least need for further sac
rifices, greatest guarantees of the
stability. the permanence and the
inspiring character Of those insti-
buttons of liberty to which our ma
ton has been dedicated.

ment over the Wilson order--at least
from the Republican viewpoint.
The big problem confronting the
Congressman today Is the soldier
Under President Harding's order post
masters are to be selected from the
three highest in a civil service ex-
animation when their term expires.
Now under existing practice the
soldier IL given preference rights for
all civil service posts. and the question
confronting Congress is where the
soldiers will stand under the latest
order.
Republican leaders estimate So per
cent of the postmasters in the United
States are Democrats, and under the
"clean sweep" pledge they feel obli-
gated to make a turnover.
The soldier Is the hitch, and until
some official Interpretation is given
the members of the House are in a
quandary.
