MEMORIAL DAY.
Sacred To the Memory OF Our
Departed Heroes.

/
Communicated.
| Memorial day is drawing near, and I'VE
who have loved ones asleep in the quiet
cemeteries, are planning ways to procure
flowers to place upon their graves so that
they may look beautiful and gay upon
Memorial Day.
The few remaining old veterans will
gather around the mounds of their de-
parted comrades. andswill hold their an
nual services. Soon all these old soldiers
will be sleeping their last sleep. their
places taken by men of later wars. Not
old grey headed men, except perhaps the
veterans Of the Spanish American war,
but young men, many of them on
crutches. MANNED and blinded by the
cruelties of latter day. warfare. We will
then sing too of the white crosses in
Flanders Field, and in other French cem-
etries. We are thankful that these graves
of our soldier dead. in that foreign land.
will not be forgotten, but flowers will be
strewn and music will float over their
resting places. A large sum of money
has been raised for purchasing flowers
and flags. and the devoted French people
will do their part.
Much has been written in regard to the
removal of our soldiers bodies to Amer
lea. A mother and father recently visit
ed the grave of their son in France. and
on their returns the mother wrote to one
of our papers saying how we'll satisfied
they were to let their boys body remain
over there. stating the French people
would and did care for the burying places
of our dead really better than they would
be cared for al home. The French are
more sentimental than we, over here, and
naturally look after their dead much bet
ter than we practical Americans would.
Beside they love the American soldiers
and will spare no pains to keep the cem-
eteries nice. Other writers say that the
bodies. many of them, are unfit to be
handled. and of course there is much
work to be done to prepare them for
shipment, Beside the journey acoss the
water, another handling and jarring after
arriving on this side.
1t is said that some mothers received
bodies of strangers. not their sons. Others
have written of the raising of the bodies
and the grewsome scenes they had wit
messed. Some Of our boys were so torn
by shot and shell so that little was left of
their bodies. Let them staty, we would
say, where they fought and fell.
Across the wide and troubled waves,
Beyond the broad ocean.
In land where taicolor waves,
There our dead lie in honored groves,
Watched over by . nations devotion.
They slumber SO peacefully there
Where the lilies bloom,
And our starry bright banner so fair.
Proudly waves to and fro in the air;
Where sleep our brave boys in the tomb.
Let them rest in the land where they died;
Disturb not their sleep.
In orderly rows, side by side,
Till the great judgment day let them bide,
While France does her loving watch
keep.
