The On
New w
Memorial

Even the dead must feel the new
spirit with which each section makes
us loving memorial this year. In so
many ways does it show itself. In
50 many unexpected places are we re-
minded that the sons of these soldiers
Of 60 have lain down together across
the sea in blood and agony and death.
Any heart that stopped one after
uoOn last year to do reverence before
the Court Of the Dead, must have leaped
at the sight of fresh pansles lying
on the evergreens.
The wind that swept the avenue that
afternoon was cold and somehow
there was something passing brave in
the way the fresh spring flowers lifted
up their soft faces to meet it-so I'M
afraid of its bitterness, so willing, 1t
seemed, to desc like those young
young boys who lie among our dead
In France.
Safe to say, not half dozen in
all the passing throng, saw the plac-
ing of that little bunch of flowers
SO simply was the little scene enacted,
so quietly was it all done that unless
the little group had already caught
the attention the whole precious thing
must have passed unobserved.
All three of them walked with
certain unconscious alOofness, as If
in the straining crowd but not Of it,
A quiet detiniteness of purpose in
their unhurrying but unhesitating
steps set oddly in the avenues mad
rushing Of feet. The two children

You'd the mere physical seemed their
nearness to each other and as they
approached closer to the Court of the
Dead one sensed instantly that the
gold star worn by the mother was for
a son who could have been no more
than boy.
The sweetly serious eyes of the lit
tie girl and the straight gaze Of the
ten-year-old khaki-clad boy searched
swiftly but carefully the inscriptions
on the state shields beside which still
lay the Twenty-seventh's memorial
wreaths. There was such pOise about

age to the Thousands of Heroic
Dead Who Are There Sleep
ing Their Long Sleep.

Among the hundreds of services
that take place Memorial day through
out the land in honor Of the soldier
dead who have fought their last bat
tie and gone to their reward, probably
none is more largely attended, and
certainly none includes greater num-
Der of men of national prominence,
than that in the magnificent amphi-
theater in Arlington National Gene
terry, on the Virginia heights across
the Potomac from the city of Wash
ington.
This year will be the tifty-fourth
celebration of Memorial day in Ar
llngton. Gen. John A. Logan, while
commander in chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic in 1868, with d
handful of his fellows assembled there
on May 80, and before the historic
CustisLee mansion conducted the
memorial service. At that time there
were but few graves within the estate,
where today more than 27,000 heroes
have been gathered for their last long
sleep.
The memorial service at Arlington
is profoundly impressive. With but
few exceptions In all the years these
annual memorials have been held, the
President Of the United States has
been in attendance, surrounded by
members of his cabinet and other high
government officials, ambassadors and
other representatives of foreign coun-
tries, and vast assemblage Of the
citizens of Washington and visitors
to the city.
The new amphitheater, used for the
memorial service first time in 1920, is
an imposing Roman and Gothic struc-
ture of glistening white marble, erected
by the national government at the sug-
gestiOn of the Grand Army of the
Republic as a fitting place in which to
assemble for the annual memorial.
There are seats for 5000 spectators
and standing room for 1000 more,
with places on the platform for about
500 of the more distinguished guests.

Arlington National cemetery is a
unique and fitting memorial to the

country has memorial of like na-

Little green tents where the soldiers
sleep,
And the sunbeams play, and the women
weep,
Are covered with flowers today;
And between the tents walk the weary
few,
Who were young and stalwart in sixty
two,
When they went to the war away.
The little green tents are built Of sod,
And they are not long. and they are not
broad,
But the soldiers have lots of room;
And the sod is part Of the land they
saved,
When the flag OF the enemy darkly waved,
The symbol of dole and doom.
The little green tent is a thing divine;
The little green tent is a country's shrine,
Where patriots kneel and pray.
And the brave men left, so old, so few,
Were young and stalwart in 'sixty-two,
When they went to the war away.

Homage of France Assured.

Frances beautiful and sincere trib-
ute on Memorial day last year to Amer
fca's soldier dead is calculated to bring
solace to those who have elected to
let their dear ones remain in the land
where they fell. They trusted that
France would not forget and France
has not forgotten. For them Marshal
Petain's words carry a special mean
ing. May those families" he said,
whose tears are the more bitter for

homage which we pay to their glorious
memory"

On the occasion of the arrival Of
the Somme Grantland Rice wrote
splendid poem for the New York Trib-
une, Of which these two verses were
part:
"some day" they said, when war Is
done
And we have wandered back;
When we have earned our share Of
fun
Beyond the last attack,
As we swing down the Avenue
Some day, amid the din,
We'll take our place back home with
you
And now the somme comes in.
Once more Taps sounds above their
dreams,
And with its ancient glow
Once more the flaming skyline CLEANS,
But they will never know.
Back with their love of youth and life,
Lost dreams Of play and sport,
Far from the eun-swept plains Of
strife
Their ship has come to port.

most careful attention. The ancient
trees are given every protection to
preserve them. In all, it is just such
a tribute as the nations heroes de-
serve.
Outstanding spots in the cemetery
have special appeal. The Temple Of
Fame bears the names of the great
generals of the Union side in the Civil
war. From the rustic benches of the
temple may be had a most wonderful
view of the capital city. The monu-
ment to the Confederate soldiers who
fell In the great war is an imposing
shaft. Massive columns and beautiful
mausoleums have been erected to the
memory of some distinguished army
and navy officers, while others are
marked only with the greatest SIM
plicity. The tomb of the unknown
dead, in which the bodies of Pill I'M
identified soldiers were gathered, is
a particular mecca on Memorial day.
The anchor and mast of the battle
ship Maine serve as mute reminders
of the tragic death of hundreds Of
brave men.
Memorial day this year sees many
graves in Arlington that were not there
a year ago. OF the thousands who fell
on foreign soil during the World war
many have found their last resting
place in this hallowed spot. And no
greater distinction could be desired
than to lie among the nations heroes
In this sacred ValhaIla.

price Of long weeping these three must
surely have paid for 1t. Only a quick
upward glance at the mother showed
that at last the shield which they
sought had been discovered. Taking
from his sister the little bunch of
pansies, the boy stepped over the low
railing and barring his golden head,
stopped to lay the glowing flowers be-

mother softly as the boy rejoined
her and the three passed on, but not
until they had quietly turned away

the observer.
The woman's voice was the I'M

Through all her childhood she had
doubtless marched each year in long
professions of school children laden
with flowers for the graves of the

brought violets and pansies-and here
where she was no longer little girl,
but a Borrowing mother, here in her
new northern home, though bleak
winds blew about her and the rushing
of the crowds seemed strangely far
from the reverent quiet of those old
southern cemeteries-here she had
come to the Court of the Dead with
pansies for her southern son who
had fallen under the Stars and Stripes
in France.
She had celebrated her old Me-
mortal day by consecratlng of her
new one. 1t was something more

SylVanla battles, said: The Army
Of Northern Virginia had gained little
in numbers during the winter (1S63-
64) and had never been so scantily
fed and clothed. Equipment as to
arms was good but commissary and
quartermaster supplies were scarce
and poor" He says that nearly all
the soldiers were ragged, barefOoted
and half-starved, but the morale of
the army was high and Grant knew
that it was still a dangerous foe in
battle"
Grants plan of campaign was to
put all the armies of the Union, east
and west, into offensive operations at
one time. He brought together scat
tered commands and built up the
Army of the Potomac to a strength
which he believed would overwhelm
Lee, who faced him across the Rap
idan astride the Orange and AleXan-
dria railroad and maintained touch
with the Richmond and Fredericks-
burg railroad 50 miles to the east.

Dave did not appear to possess right

all the punishment inflicted on Krug
came from Rosenberg's trusty left.
