New York on the Mayfower early In
the week and took part in memorial
services on the piers Of Hoboken for
more than five thousand American SOL
diers who died abroad and whose
bodies had just been brought home.
Standing before the long rows Of flag
draped collins, the President delivered
an address notable for pathos and
sentiment. He said: II find a hundred
thousand sorrows touching my heart,
and there is ringing in my ears, like
an admonition eternal, an insistent
call-It must not be again! 1t must
no be agaihr God grant that 1t will
not be, and let q practical people join
in cooperation with God to the end
that 1t shall not be.
81 would not wish a nation for
which men are not willing to fight, and
II need be to die, but I do wish for
a nation where 1t is not necessary to
ask for that sacrifice"
In the evening Mr.. Harding attend
ed a banquet of business and financial
leaders, to whom he said his aspira-
ton was to inaugurate an era OF I'M
Outstanding between the government
and the people and between nations.

Postmaster General Hays has abol-
ished the Burleson censorship of the
press, which had been in force for
three years. The ruling was made in
announcing the admission Of the Lib
orator, a radical publication, to second
class mailing privileges. Mr.. Hays
ruled that II a publication Of public
character is mailable under. the law at
all it is entitled to the second class
rate, but If 1t Is not mailable it should
be excluded from the mails entirely.
If 1t is reasonable its proprietorz
should be prosecuted.

~. DEFIANCE.

Late In the evening the telephone
interrupted the supervision of her
packing, with which Priscilla was en-.
deavoring TO divert her weary thoughts
and with no great success.
Her maid being busy at the moment,
Priscilla answered in person. and suf-
fered q slight shock when she heard
the studied accent Of Mr.. Harry Chill
vers so completely had she forgotten
the man. Mr.. Chilvers chirped
lsiskly:
"0h, hello, Nora This is Harry.
What happened to you this afternooni
Forget our date for tea? Or did some
thing get in your way?"
Quite evidently Mr.. Chllvers was
prepared TO be a good fellow and over
look that slight But Priscilla replied
with an apathy nothing short of Gym
ical:
Miss Maine Is not at home.'
An oath of resentful incredulity was
cut In two as she clicked the receiver
into its hook but the picture suggest
ed, of the Nut raging at mute and
unconditional telephone, failed to excite
even the ghost of her smile.
