DAY HAS BROADER MEANING
Memorial Ceremonies Now Include All
Those Who Have Earned the
Country's Gratitude.

For years it was known as DecOra-
tion day, and that title still clings; but
Memorial day seems to have broader
meaning and II has come into more
general use. For long time its signi-
ticance was confined mainly to the
graves and veterans of the Civil war.
and thus it happened that In eight
southern states the day has not been
holiday. The meaning of it has been
greatly accentuated by the World war,
and President Harding has very hap
PLY shown that its interest now eX
tends from Lexington to the Argonne.
The Revolutionary war, and all its
figures have passed into history, but
the pension records show 40 surviving
widows of the War Of 1912, fought 40
years ago, and one of them, born in
Baltimore. had great great grand
child in the World war. OF the war
with Mexico. there are 73 living vet
Grams. OF the Civil war thousands re-
main, but the long line grows thinner
every year, and the work of putting
flowers on the graves falls into fewer
hands. And perhaps there are more
Civil war graves undecorated, for the
faithful die and others forget, and
since the sixties a greater war has
taken possession of the thoughts of
Baltimore American.
