local posts will participate in the fu-
neral services Of the three Whining
ton men whose bodies arrived in Ho-
boken last Saturday. Owing TO the
day being a holiday dedicated to the
dead, there seems no reason why
every ex-soldier man should not be
present at the ceremonies to help
pay the last tribute TO the remains
OF those who made the supreme
sacrifice for the democracy OF the
world. Every ex-service man either
n member OF the Legion V. +, w. or
any other organization or unattach-
ed, is urged to attend these funerals
with one OF the local posts. Della
