One Of the patriotic date marks Of

cation at Washington Of the Memorial

diers and sailors Of the United States
who responded to the call of their
country when the question arose IL any
government so founded could sustain
itself against enemies that might arise.
Overlooking the capital and the Poto-
mac the amphltheater, which has cost
over $SOO.OOO. is a commanding fea-
ture in itself and will be perpetually
q noble reminder to every true Ameri-
can. There rest. in equal honor. IA
nous generals and admirals, along
with many who died In battle and rest
now under slab marked simply "Un-
KNOWN" but what they did and what
they typify is immortal. A soldier or
sailor may repose there with his wife
beside him, hut there Is not wealth
enough In the world to gain entrance
for one who has not In some of our
wars enlisted under the national flag.
The veterans Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic conducted the dedicatory
exercises and 1t must, according to the
years Of mankind. be one Of the last
occasions that can find them assembled
for q general patriotic observance.
No nation has ever had a more in

Dead

Memorial day brings deeper and
richer memories every year, as the
roll of honor grows longer with the
for their flag Mt home, overseas and
on islands of the seas. An hour can
be spent profitably by every American
today, glancing back over the record
Of the United States and making an
estimate of the present and the future
of the country. What did the dead
accomplish by giving the last full
measure Of devotion? Are the living
impressed by what they did, and do
they more than ever highly resolve
that the dead shall not have died In
vain?
Every one of the American dead
every soldier, every sailor-gave all Of
himself to his country. II that Is not
Q reminder that every American owes
at least some Of himself to his coun-
try. then, indeed. the dead died in vain
and the living live In vain.
The dead gave honor and glory and
perpetuity to the flag. What are the
living Americans giving to It? Is 1t
honor. glory and perpetuity? Is each
citizen sitting out the pure from the
GROSS in his heart. and giving to his
country only the choicest portions OF
his spirit, as the dead gave before
they were taken away? Or Is the Nv
ing American carefully selecting and
boarding the best Of himself for his
own use, and palming of upon his
country sham, patriotism. a niggardly
pretext of devotion, shoddy adher-
ence to ideals and a counterfeit OF
honor? 1t is not for others to pass
judgment; they cannot do so justly. 1t
is for each citizen to search his own
heart and pass judgment upon himself.
What is the duty of the living? Have
not the dead saved the nation? Is not
the country strong, safe and richf
Why should the living worry. when

DRY ENFORCEMENT HAS COST
ss.soo.ooo FOR CURRENT
FISCAL YEAR.
lwestsru Newspaper Union News Service,

Washington, May 24.-After heated
during which Commissioner Kramer
was bitterly criticized and as vigOr-
ously defended, the House voted an
additional $2OO,OOO for enforcement Of
the VOlstead act until July l.
Representative Volstead proposed
the increase In the total of the def
cheney appropriation bill to permit
retention on federal pay rolls of 100
prohibition agents who. Mr.. Kramer
had announced, would be dropped for
the remainder Of the fiscal year be-
cause of shortage of funds.
The amendment was adopted, u to
3S. less than One.fourth of the House
membership being present, hut an.
other vote can be demanded before the
bill Is passed.
Even the members who favored the
amendment. however, doubted whether
1t would afford relief in time to he of
much value, inasmuch as the bill after
passage by the House must 90 to the
| Senate.
During the wrangling. Chairman
Good of the appropriations committee,
who opposed the VOlstead amendment,
said MIR. Kramer had violated penal
| provisions of law by incurring II de-
ficit and "had made himself liable to
Jail sentence"
II want Mr.. Kramer to obey the
law just as much as bOOtleggers." he
declared, adding that $6,9O0.OO0 had
been appropriated for prohibition en-
forcement during the current fiscal
year.
Mr.. Kramer was defended by Rep
rcsentntive Byrnes, Tennessee. ranking
Democrat on the appropriations COM
mittee, asa conscientious official doing
his best to enforce the law.
Mr.. volstead defended Mr.. Kramer's
ground for criticism.
Declaring no estimate for additional
funds for prohibition enforcement had
been submitted to the appropriations
committee, and that no one had ap-
peared before the committee to ex-
plain the situation, Mr.. Byrnes said
that II the secretary of the treasury
had requested funds he would have
gotten all he wanted.
AS the House milled through the de-
ficiency bill provision for the crea.
ton Of an office Of first assistant Sec
dietary of the treasury at a salary Of
$4,000 yenr and an amendment pro-
viding for purchase by the government
Of $1OO.OOO,OOO OF farm loan bonds
were eliminated on points of order.
One provision approved would per.
nit the Treasury Department to spend
any part of the Sls,6OO,OOO appropri-
ated last session for additional hOspi-
tai facilities for disabled service men

itfes. The original bill provided that
