MEMORIAL ID KEY IS DEDICATED BY PRESIDENT HARDING
Rain Fails to Dampen Ardor of Throng Paying Tribute to Author of National
 Anthem
By Associated Pres.

Baltimore, June 14.-A national memorial to Francis Scott Key, au- thor of "The Star Spangled Banner" was dedicated by President Harding today on the site of Fort MeHenry, where in 1874 hung the flag to which the anthem was written during an att tack by a British fleet.
 Referring to the inspiring words and their prayer that victory ever may be justified when liberty is im- perilled, the President declared that "to give ringing voice" to such an inspiration was "one of the greatest services which any man could do for the young republic"
 Lowering skies and occasional rain greeted the Presidential party as 1t arrived by automobile from Washington, but did not dampen the enthusiasm of the greeting by the people who lined the route of a Iageant procession which preceded the unyeiling and in which the Presi- dent rode. Thousands of massed and uniformed school children sang and waved flags in tumultuous greeting The dedication was the center of the nations flag day celebration. and Mir. Harding appealed for more of the spirit of Francis Scott Key to be installed into Americans of to- day.
 Measuring Thought
 The outstanding and the reassur- ing thought of today" he added, lis a it, the hour of great trial to reveal the soul of patriot in the night of sur passing anxiety and devotion to duty"
 The President was taken into the old star" bastion of the fortress on which the famous attack of 1874 centered, and with Mrs. Harding, in- spected the post hospital where 300 wounded of the World war are still under care, before going to the speakers stand, erected in front of the colossal statue in bronze by Charles H. Niehaus to commemorate tattle and song alike
 Don't any of you hesitate in taking shelter" the President told his audience when a burst of rain broke as he began speaking. "but I'm Ia Baptist myself"
 Audience Cheers
 The audience cheered. T ask you in fancy to turn your gaze back to the flag which inspired the mortal words of Key.'' the President said before beginning his prepared speech. As I stand here l can see its folds. There were only IS stars in 1t then. Then look at Old Glory before you with it's 4S stars sym bo1izing 4s unified states and consi- der that Is hardly more than century since 15 filled it's field. I ask you in the face of that what are the limitless possibilities of our reports of tomorrow. You in Baltimore are making a fine contribution in your monumental city, for 1t is the finest thing to preserve the heritage of the founding fathers. You'll never have an Americanism gone wrong that cherishes the traditions and memo ries of the sacrifice that has pre- pared for it." From the fortress grounds the Presidents party went to the home of Senator France. where brief re- ception to the public was held. He returned to Washington this even ing.

 The only formal action, however was unanimous adoption of motion creating special committee to frame a policy which action was taken after tho proposal for the, amendment had been made by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin. Other speakers, most of them leaders in the labor movement approved the program as practicable while the delegates voiced approval with applause.
 LnFollette Speaks

Gold Pours In. Real Wealth Shut Out. Confucius' Grave. Playing Three-eighths.

With the worlds gold gradually accommodating here and other nations hungry for 1t. this would be good time for Europe to do away with the golc standard. or at least estab lish silver at some low ratio. But MT. Bryan, who usually looks after silver. is too busy with Darwin and his monkeys. And to make nations abandon the gold standard would be as hard as making them all change religion.
