STR0vE FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Armies Under the stars and Stripes
Had Always the Noblest Aims
Man May Know.

For two decades the reeurrent OBJ
servance of Memorial day has been
the regretful text fer comment upon
the dwindling line of .eThe BOYS in
Blue" The World war has given an
added significance to the exercises of
the day, which in all the years to
come will be dedicated also to eThe
Boys in Khaki the young men Of
this generation who so nobly carried
on the noble record established bv
the men of the early sixties. And In
between room will be preserved for
the veterans of the war with Spain
In Cuba and the Philippines.
II is a proud tradition that in each
of these wars the armies beneath the
Stars and Stripes fought for human
liberty, not for greed of territory or
lust of power, but, in the immortal
words OF Lincoln, that government Of
the people should not perish. and the
outcome in each has justified the
faith that conquer we must when our
cause it is just" A people that takes
up the sword only in such circumstan-
ces and with such spirit finds in the
solemn ceremonies of Memorial day
a symbolism OF patriotism, an avowal
Of faith that can never be Quenchsd.

Perhaps the highest keynote OF
Memorial day. either IN this country
or abroad, was struck at SuresneS.
the high hill under the guns Of Mt. Val
erien. overlooking the city of Paris,
to which President Wilson went last
Memorial day to pay his homage to
the several thousand American dead
buried there. The first American mon
ument abroad authorized by the War
department was set up at Suresnes,
France, last year, and unveiled as a
part of the Memorial day observance.
The statue, then q plaster cast of
heroic size, is the copy and conception
of the typical American infantryman
by Joe Davidson, the American sculp-
tor. AS finally done in granite it viii

Only the slow chisel of time can
carve the trutS of history. That which
we debate holly and surround with
words and eagerncss and doubts and
disappointments fatles and is forgot
ten. Some simple fact, seldom upon
our tongues and too obvious to be dis
cussed, is left standing against the
horizon.
The beginning of some such revalua-
ton made itself felt on Memorial day
last year. In the commemoratlon OF
the day here and abroad there was
silent power that all who participated
could not but feel. Tears were nearer
the surface than any one suspected,
memories more poignant The very
thought of our dead lying in the soil of
France, their graves covered with flow
ers by the hands of French women
and French children, the bugies of
their French comrades blowing over
them, stirs the deeps of reverence and
loyalty.
A scene in France. in one of the
largest cemeteries in which American
soldiers are burieC, is thus beautifully
described:

Scene Most Picturesque.

Beyond the wall masses of purple
lilacs spread against the low red roofs
of the houses. In the distance few
lazy clouds, in sky of blue, hung about
the old cathedral spires. Bird calls
and scent of flowers filed the air. Al

crosses. Above our heads, at half mast,

spoke in French and explained to his
people the meaning of Memorial day.
One felt, instinctively, their sympathy
and love.
Then we laid on every grave a spray
OF flowers and breathed a PRAYER for
the absent ones. Each girl felt per-
sonally responsible for each mound I'm
the row she decorated How clear the
names ON those crosses stood out even
though year had passed!
The French officers laid wreath nj
the foot Of the flag pole and one OF
them spoke with tenderness of the he
roes who had gone on. Already there
hung upon the pole lovely wreaths
from the vile de Chateauroux, from
the French mothers association, and
other local organizations.
