NEW GRAVES AT ARLINGTON
Memorial Day This Year, as IL Did a
Year Ago, Should Have Espe-
cial Significance.

There is additional selemnity in this
Memorial day because of the number
of new graves and the number of
women and men whose grief is fresh.
1t Is a beautiful custom that the gov
ernment closes its shops and that busi-
ness stands nearly still In order that
millions OF people may speak, sing and
think of the dead. 1t Is good that
these millions should let their thoughts
dwell q few moments on themes diff
ferent from those which are called the
practical affairs of life Here at Wash
ingtOn Memorial day is strikingly OBJ
served. The city more nearly sus-
pends worldly activities than any
other, because 1t is the seat of govern
ment, because government is the prin-
cipal industry here, and because the
other industries are mainly dependent
on the governments working force.
There are more soldier graves In and
in the immediate vicinity of Washing
ton than any other like area in the
United States, and the number Of
these graves is increasing far faster
than elsewhere. Since the great war
new graves by acres have been dug at
Arlington Star.

The lilies OF France are blooming
BY the little white crosses today
Where Americas sons are sleeping
The years Of their manhood away.
They died on the altar of Freedom
For liberty. right and truth:
They sleep in glory immortal
In the beauty and splendor OF youth.
The soldiers OF France are marching
BY the fields where our loved ones lie
Each one lifts a hand. saluting
AS he silently passes by.
The children Of France are singing,
While the bugles softly play
And the lilies OF France droop lower
Oer the little white crosses today.
The women OF France are kneeling
BY the graves they lovingly tend.
And the breeZes murmur gently
AS the stars with their Tricolor blend.
The women OF France are kneeling
Mid the graves so far away.
And our hearts are kneeling with them
BY the little white crosses today.

TO us; nothing that we can give can
be even weak beginning of their stu
pendous gift. Nor do they demand
great recompense: gratitude and hom-
age, and moments pause In the mad
whirl OF life TO bestow a thought and
a flower on the graves of those whose
lives were the price Of our happiness.
In France, too; and on the dike-cut
fields of Flanders. our heroes rest.
Fear not that these boys of ours, who
are so far from us today. will be
neglected or forgotten. France, saved
from utter destru, ton. is still dumbly
grateful for the miracle, and genera
tion after generation will weep at the
graves of the men who came from
afar-and stayed In France forever
There, where they made their high sac

not even the sorrow of the loved ones
over there whose gratitude. though i'm
personal, is greater than we who had
no glimpse of wars horrible presence

In America there Is one Memorial
day for the boys in blue and gray and
The boys in khaki, and there is COM

Americas Part in the War.

the labor and sacrifice of the nations
which fought through all the bloody
years of the struggle. Yet, during the
brief period Of American participa
ton, America fought as hard as any
other belligerent nation, bore her full
share of responsibility and burdens.
and thus, coming TO the front when the
other nations were weary, actually
won the war. 1t is generally believed
that but for the American army the
German Offensives of March-June
1918. would have carried PrussianiSm
To victory. America, therefore. with
out boasting and with full realization
that her sacrifice was small In com

can cherish the qualification of having
actually won the war by Intervention
AT the most critical moment. Belgi-
um's immortal herOism saved civiliZa-
tion In 1914; American altruism and
devotion saved democracy in 1918.
But the story was not begun at
Chateau-Thierry. Ii was not even be-

United States, driven beyond the ex-
treme limit OF patience, formally de-
clared the existence of state of war.
