The committee which is Investigate
Ing Bergdoll's escape sought to clear
up all doubt as to the death of the

Before going into this phase of the
inquiry the committee examined Maj

the military intelligence department
got on the trail of Bergdoll immediate

the president for appointment as post
master, Postmaster General Hays de-
clared today in discussing the recent

this meant Democrats as well as Re-

Selections made by the civil service
commission under the orders of for
mer President Wilson, but not con-
firmed by the senate, will be ignored
and new nominations held for such
vacancies, the postmaster general as

LAS a matter of fact" it continued.
the war department would have been
entirely warranted in including in the
public list of men charged with deser-

More efficient city government un-
der popular control is to be obtained
by the city manager system, accord
ing to Prof. A. r. Hatton, of Western
Reserve university, Cleveland. O., who
addressed a public mass meeting in
the high school auditorium Monday
night. Probably 700 persons listened
to the student of political science dis
cuss the good and bad features of
municipal government in its several
forms.
Prot. Hatton's strongest point in ia.
vor of the city manager plan, was that
it allows a city to choose man with
executive ability, rather than politi-
'eaf candidate representing some pol
icy. "If you get man with executive
ability when you elect a mayor" said
Prof. Hatton, cit is purely accident
This has been as true of our larger
cities as smaller. We have had hon
orable mayors, and great mayors, but
very few who possessed the ability TO
get things done.

Local Post Plans Impressive
Memorial Day Services -
Auxiliary Organizations In
vited To Participate.
HONOR ALL VETERANS

Plans for the observance of Memor-
ial Day in an appropriate and impress
sive manner are being made by the
Sol Meredith Post Of the G. A. R..
according to announcements made
Tuesday.
The Sunday preceding Memorial Day
will be observed by the veterans as
Memorial Sunday. 1t is probable that
they will all visit one church and in
vite their auxiliaries, allied orders.
and other patriotic organizations to
participate in the services.
Men from the post probably will be
detailed to visit schools in the vicinity
on the last school day preceding
Memorial Day, and explain to the chill
dren the significance of the day, and
tell them something of the history of
the Civil war, its causes and results.
Flags at Haf.Mast.
On Memorial Day, as provided by
the Forty-fifth National Encampment.
flags will be placed at half mast and
bells tolled for five minutes, from IL
O'Clock noon at all public Grand Army
exercises on Memorial Day. during
which time every comrade will stand
uncovered. the general orders from
the post state.
Lincoln's Gettysburg address and
General Logan's Memorial Day order
will be read at exercises in this COM
munity under the G.. A. r. directions.
Honor Confederates
One particularly touching part of
the orders to be carried out is as fol-
lows: In places where Confederate
soldiers are buried details are to be
made for decorating their graves
Whatever our memory of the boys be-
tween Sumter and Appomattox, let us
not forget that sons and grandsons of
these men are today sleeping beside
our own sons and grandsons under the
poppies OF France and Flanders,
where, fighting and dying together.
they added immeasurable luster to the
flag of reunited country. Only cow
ards never forgive"
The Civil war veterans state that
by express action OF the National En-
campment and by growing custom, the
observance Of the day has become q
tribute to the memory Of all who have
in any war offered their lives that
our country might live and that its
honor might remain unsullied.
Keep Heads.Erect
One statement reads that "The
Grand Army of the Republic. as an
organization, can take part in but few
more observances of the day. Before
another year rolls around. earth will
have taken thousands Of our comrades
to her arms.
But as we approach the end let
there be no faltering in our step; lei
us hold our places a the head of each
memorial parade. With heads erect
and facts to the front, proud of the
past and hopeful for the future. may
death find each comrade at his post
until that day comes when taps shall
have sounded for the last comrade.
