GRAVES DECORATED
ON FOREIGN SOIL
(By Associated Press)

Indianapolis. Ind, May 30 -
While the home folks today are
honoring the soldier dead who
rest in the soil of their country,
the American Legion overseas is
visiting and decorating more
than $1,000 graves of Americans
who fell and are buried on for
eign soil. Of these graves 81
400 are located in five cemeteries
in France, 4S8 are in England, 140
in Scotland, 40 in Ireland and one
in Spain.
Several thousands of dollars
have been sent to the Legion's
committee i'll Paris, of which
Cabot Ward, an American attpr-
ney, is chairman, to be expended
on flowers and flags for the decor
alton of A. Z. F. graves. Local
committees in England, Scotland
and ireland and several in France
will visit the cemeteries and min
lister personally to each grave To
raise this decoration fund, Ma
tiOnal Commander McNider, of
the Legion, asked each Legion
aire to contribute five cents and
the response has been generous,
the organizations headquarters
here reports.
Many parents of American SOL
diers killed an buried overseas
have requested decoration of the
graves with particular kinds of
flowers or with individual floral
arrangements. Most Of them
have requested the Legion to sup
ply them with photographs of the
graves so decorated. and the re-
quest is being complied with. For
the larger part. however, the ov-
erseas graves will be decorated
alike, with the highest officer and
the newest private soldier being
honored by an American flag and
decorations consisting of flowers
native to the country in which
, the grave is located.
Reports to Legion headquar-
ters also show that Memorial
Day will be generally observed
both in the North and South.

BIG WHISKY CASE
HERE WEDNESDAY

Isaac Miller, Louis Kay, and
w. ]. Wilson, of Lexington, and
John G.. McAtee, of Harrodsbure.
are scheduled to go on trial here
Wednesday at special term of
federal court Oh charges of con-
splracy to violate the national
prohibition act through alleged
removal OF faulty permits of ap-
proximately $I7O,OOO worth of
whisky from various distilleries
in 1920 and 1921.
The case was called for trial
at the last term of federal court
here but the swearing of the jury
was set aside by Judge A. NJ. J.
Cochran after several witnesses
had been examined and the case
for a special term of court when
defendants counsel appealed for
time to prepare a defense for Ger
tam evidence introduced by the
government.
The testimony, which the de-
tense claimed was new and unex-
pected matter not covered on the
governments bill of particulars,
was given by A. L. Durkin. con-
fidential secretary of the Pennsylt
yania state prohibition director.
Durkin testified that one of the
permits on which the defendants
had removed whisky from a dis
tillery was stolen from the Penn
sylvania directors office. The!
trial was halted before any effort
was made to show how the per-
NIT came into the possession Of
the Kentucky men. The permits
were secured as evidence by pro-
hibition authorities from the dis
tllleries from which the various
shipments of whisky were removI
ed two years ago.
1t is expected that the trials
will last two or three days.

OLDHAM IN BIG
TRIAL IN LOUISVILLE

Col. Ronald c. Oldham. Rich.
mond attorney, has been in Lott
isville several days representing
]. w. Tracy. one of the mer
charged with robbing the home
of John H. Caperton, near the
Falls City, and with having bur
glar tools in his possession. A
dispatch from Louisville said Of
it:
], w. Tracy, alleged yegg,
went to trial in criminal court
on a charge of having burglar
tools in his possession and is rep
resented by Ronald c. Oldham,
an attorney Of Richmond, who
filed an affidavit for a continu-
ance. 1t was overruled by Judge
A. T. Burgevin.
Mr.. Oldham sought a short
continuance because he had not
had an opportunity to confer at
length with his client, having
been employed only a few days
ago, but said he would not urge
any delay if it met with the Oh
lection of the commonwealth.
Tracy is already under a five
year sentence. The charge on
which Tracy was placed on trial
was preferred against him and
Herbert McAllister and their
wives shortly after their arrest
December II. last, when they
were charged with the robbery
Of the home of Mrs. Anna Nc
Coy Jones, 2707 Transit avenue.
December g. Tracy is to be tried
for that robbery and his counsel
said he would be ready unless
some unforeseen circumstances
arise.
The appearance of an attorney
from Richmond to represent the
alleged bandit was a surprise to
those interested in the trials OF
the bandits with the exception IF
Joseph S. Lawton, common
wealth attorney, and his as
sistants, with whom Mr.. Oldham
has conferred since his employ
ment, they said. The first act of
new counsel was to file demurrer
to the indictment charging Ira
cy and the other members of the!
alleged bandit gang with banding
together to stage the robbery of
John H. Caperton's country res
idencc. 1t is the contention OF
Mr.. Oldham that the Indictment
is faulty in that it does not con
tain at the bottom Of the bill tile
names of the witnesses who ap-
peared before the grand jury,
and that by this elimination the
accused was not put on notice n'f
his accusers as provided by law.
Tracy has been acquitted of
completely in one of the phases Of
the Caperton robbery, the actual
breaking into the house and loot
ing it Of rare wines and liquors,
and seven other charges are
pending against him in connec-
tiOn with that OffenSe.
Tracy was found guilty OF
having burglar tools in his pos
session by a jury today trying
him in criminal court and his
punishment was fixed at 10 years
in the penitentiary, the limit un-
der the law. This brings the to-
tai prison terms of the defendant
to date to IS years. There are
other charges pending against
him,

getaway.
The charge against Roe. local

was $1,000. The warrant against
him was sworn out by his wife
Sheriff Callihan, of Greenup.

say.

If you can get him. do so and l
will pay all charges. Next time
[ sure will not be SO easy with
him. It's awful hard for me to

Progress Heavenward"
Rev. Gums New Year
Sermon, First NJ. E. Church

Progress Heavenward."
Brethren, count not my
self yet to have laid hold. But one
thing / do, forgetting the things
which are behind, and stretching for
ward to the things which are before,
| press on toward the goal unto the
prize of the high ceiling Of God in
Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14.
Evidently the apostle, Paul, was
mot satisfied with what he had at
tanned. There is a sort of divine
restlessness in the soul Of one who
is walking in the footprints of the
Master. Such sentiment Is indicated
by the Psalmist who in one Of the
majestic songs Of the Psalter declares
IL shall be satisfied when / awake
in Thy likeness" There Is a source
Of perennial joy to one in the thought
that as long as / live, "even unto the
end Of the ages" shall be able to
"grow in grace and in the gnowledge
of my Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ" Such sentiment thFobbed In
the heart Of the great apostle when
he said: II count not myself to have
finished the work God gave me TO
do. ] have aB Jet but begun"
zone thing I do" After writing
this, Paul goes on to enumerate maay
things: II forget the things which
are behiRd," 81 stretch toward che
things which are before" II look al.
ways toward the goa" "My ears are
strained TO catch the notes Of the
high calling God has founded for me. y
How is one to reconcile the Rpos-
ties words, since he claims emily one
great interest in life, yet gnes on to
overcome many? To answer this,
one needs bat 70 call attention to the
fact that all the colors Of the rain
bow are blended perfectly in every
ray Of light that falls from the sun !;
50 Paul wants as to understand that
all the desires Of his soul are blended
in q mighty cffort-a continuous
struggle Of Progress Heavenward. :"
AS with q prism one may break up
the ray of light into the seven colors
Of the rainbow, Paul breaks up for
US this tremendous yearning in his
soul. And broken up we find it to
be:
Forgetting the things that are be-
hind" He doesn't mean that we are
literally to face the new year with

mean that it is possible for US, nor

sary for as to build our future from

| But he means we should not cling
to the events and experiences of to-
day. Certain things there are which
we should leave behind as we face

There is the petty malice which per-
haps has been harbored in our souls.
Is it not time for US to realize that

whose lives were wrecked because
they could not 1eaveyfn their yesteT-

pointments. God expects us to use
even cur disappoiRtments in building
our Christian characters. Some time
ago met a man who years before
laid aside his ministerial robes and
stepped out of the pulpit, q gutter.
! Asked why he did this, he replied:
"God has not been fair with me. He
has allowed sorrow 20 blight my soul. "
As We face the future today let as
be able and willing TO square our
creed With our experiences and make
disappointments our servants.
Nor shall we aliog Siiurs in Our
undertakings in the past to shut off

Tennyson, in that wonderful poem on
the death Of his friend, Arthur Hal
lam, elm MemOriRm," says we should
make "our failure stepping stones to
brighter things" We cannot afford
to allow our failures Of last year to
clog the wheels Of our progress heav-
onward. So paul would have us see
that God wants rs to take all oRr, ex-
perienceg and build them into Chris
tian characters. The oyster can
never rid itself Of the grain Of sand
that works its way into its very
vitals, but it takes that grain Of sand
and makes Of it a pearl. So God ex-
poets us 60 take all the experiences
Of yesterday and tomorrow make Of
them the priceless pearl Of q Chris

Rev. Dean Delivers Strong
New Years Sermon at
Superior Avenue Church

At the Superior Avenue Baptist
Church the distinctive New Year mes
sage was sounded at the evening hour.
The text was Pill 4:13-"1 can do
all things through Christ who
strengthened me-"
First of all was stressed the fact
that people can do things. The APP
parently ordinary boy or girl, with a
great ideal. will do marvellous things,
and many remarkable illustrations
were given. Margaret Haugherty, OF
New Orleans, a poor Irish girl, to
whom was erected the first statute
ever erected to 3 woman in this cOun-
try. Her light was enriched and en-
nobled by her interest in the orphan
children of her city and the blessings
Of her life reached the entire city.
Sophie B. Wright, the invalid girl,
who went to school in a steel jacket,
and established the first night schools
in New Orleans, later voted New Or
leans most popular citizen and hon
ored by having q great High School
Just off . St. CHARLES avenue named
FOR her.
The second point was the fact that
every one Of as can do our whole
duty BY the help Of Christ. We can
begin row. There is no need TO re-
solve to begin tomorrow, The sinner
may break this moment with al his
past sinful ways, and go out Of the
door q new man, q redeemed soul.
firm for the heavenly home. Men Of
the world love to promise themselves
