FORObED|ENCE
TOLOF TY AIMS
Senator Asks Memorial Day
Hearers to Stand by U. S.
Principles.

District veterans of the world war
today paid tribute to their buddies
who fell on the fields of France at
special Memorial Day exerclaes in
front of the District building, In
which all local American Legion
posts took part.
The eulogy in honor Of the dead
was made by Senator David L. Walsh
of Massachusetts,. In closing his ad-
dress, Senator Walsh made a pas
sionate appeal to the veterans TO
stamp out tyranny and oppression
of all kinds and to protect at any
cost the inalienable rights Of men to
enjoy freedom of speech and con-
science, equality of opportunity, and
unhampered Justice
I'VE must preserve the spirit of
America" he said. I'VE must keep
untainted the soul of America. We
must speak, work and battle val
iantly for those great underlying
truths which are the foundation
upon which America was built. May
/ urge you to avoid that which de-
stroys progress and liberty every
where-what | choose TO call the
slave mind. The slave mind has no
place in a democracy. 1t stands for
no truths, it has no principles, IL
blindly follows. Free men IN free
nations must always be straight and
direct.
THE slave mind votes fo~ the
party program in the halls Of lGgis-
lation and it votes the party ticket
on election day, regardless of con-
victions. 1t remains silent when it
should speak, for fear lest the smile
of favor Of those in high places be
lost"
The invocation was pronounced by
the Rev. Francis j. Hurney, chap
lain Of Costello Post, and tn. St.
Patrick's male choir, c. A. Benson,
leader, sang. Band selections were
played by an army band from Fort
Hunt. Watson b. Miller, District
legion commander, presided. Follow
ing the exercises the posts went to
Arlington, where they attended the
exercises in the world war section

Universal Service.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Lucky An.
thony Pentola! Three monuments
have been raised in his honor, a
tree was planted to his memory. he
has a good job and a bride.
Pentola came home from the war
recorded as dead.
But hundreds of thousands of 9TH
ers who returned with records show
ing they still live. can't even get a
bonus. They tramp the streets for
jobs. No one honors them with
monuments or trees. And being job
less they are naturally brideless, for
jobs and brides have a way of going
together.
Il was unlucky enough to get
back" remarks the jobless soldier.
But Pentola has no such com
plant.
While he was away on bis honey.
moon today he was blissfully un.
mindful of the fact that the newest
of the three monuments stands
draped with flags and flowers.
IL has JuSh DCSil " min
and eighty-two others listed as dead
in his neighborhood in Brooklyn.
When his honeymoon Is over he
will return to his trucking business
and support his bride in style while
others wait on in hopes for the
bonus.
Pentola's comrades in George Caci
oppo Post, American Legion, today
told the story of how he came to be
listed as dead.
He was wounded near Cambria in
1918. AS the ambulance men were
getting ready to take him to the
rear a shell exploded, killing a dozen
men. Pentola's coat was wrapped
about the body of one of the slain.
Papers in the pocket identified the
victim as Pentola.
After Pentola reported back to his
command he was gassed and sent
home. The day he reached his moth
er's home she received a telegram
saying he was dead.
The War Department and the Blu.
reau Of War Risk Insurance have
kept him listed as dead ever since.
Brooklyn has erected three monu.
ments in honor OF her sons who
made the supreme sacrifice and Pen
tolas name appears on them all. He
has protested in vain. A tree was
planted In his honor but he finally
succeeded in getting II renamed for
a soldier who really lost his life.

BY Universal Service.

Congressman John Philip Hill.
Republican. OF Maryland, today re-
newed his request upon Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon for the re-
moval Of Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes.
In a second letter to Secretary
Mellon. in which he called atten-
ton to the Secretary's failure to
reply to his first communication Of
May is. Hill added "a further speci-
fication" to the formal charges orig
inally preferred against the dry"
chief.
The formal charge lodged against
Commissioner Haynes was that his
official utterances encouraged the
spread of the lynch law" This
charge was made on the basis OF a
statement issued for publication by
the commissioner office, quoting
the remark OF a Kansas Judge. who
said to a liquor law violator:
III any more violations are re-
ported in your home, | will order
the house burned.
After reciting the former charge,
Hill said, in his letter TO Secretary
Mellon:
Within a few days Baltimore
has experienced two prohibition
raids in which serious trouble has
occurred; In the first, the mob
which opposed the prohibition
agents contented itself with hoot-
ing the agents and throwing mis-
siles; in the second, shooting occur.

alleged bootlegger, was shot in the

Haynes said: Shooting on the public
highways is a trivial matter when
compared with the vast task of
enforcing the national prohibition
laws These words constitute a
definite approval OF the shootings
which had occurred by prohibition
agents on public highways in Ken
lucky.
In view Of the recent disorders
in Baltimore city. directly encour-
aged by the attitude of Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes, renew my
request for his removal"

Service.)
NEW YORK, May 3o.-The up
ward progress of the stock market
in the last two or three weeks has
exceeded the expectations OF some
of the most bullish enthusiasts. No
matter how great may be the i'm
petus to general advances in secur-
tiles prices. 1t is recognized that
there must always come a reaction
ary period during which the specular
tive leaders are shorn Of the gains
which they make in the inspiration
Of general demand from speculative
and investment sources.
Not all of the gain in the stock
market has been caused by specula-
ton. Keen investors have recog-
nized In some Of the high grade divi.
dend paying stocks of Americas
leading Industrial enterprises, a
source of present and future profit
which have long been lying on the
bargain counter. AS these securt-
ties have been bought up. they have
been placed in strong boxes and no
longer constitute any part Of the
floating supply of the market.
There is one feature In the finan-
cial situation that cannot be ignored.
That is the resumption Of general
and special dividends by a large
number of the Industrial and rail-
road corporations which were COM
PEELED either to reduce or defer these
dividends last year. In the long
run, It is earnings that count and
earnings are dependent upon bust
ness activities. The resumption Of
dividends, therefore, is the best sign
Of returning prosperity to the coun-
| try as a whole.
A feature OF the stock market in
recent weeks has been the generous
bidding upward of groups Of stocks.
First ii was industrials, their the
steels. the coppers. the tobaccos, the
sugars, etc. AS one or more groups
have moved forward. others have
been left in a position that has been
described as "out of line" with the
| general market The latter class has
then moved forward, while the 9th.
ers have remained stationary.

Haynes Says Whiskey
Will Be Relic In
One Year
BY International News Service.

by fntornhtiOnai news service.
Within one year it will be
impossible to buy a bottle of
real whiskey for beverage pur-
poses.
That was the proud boast to-
day of Prohibition Commission
er Haynes.
Going farther. Haynes said
within ton years the thought of
whiskey will be merely a mem
ory.
"Whiskey soaks." as he
termed them, will be left to
such slender resources that al
coholic aspirants merely will
pine away for want of the stuff.
Haynes prediction is based
upon records of shortage in
whiskey of real quality. He
planned to make such a stiff
drive at illicit sources of other
liquors that he expects the pub
lie to be completely in a liquor
eclipse within a short period.
