sible honor was given to those who
fought the great battles and triumph
ed under principles our government
and its people considered right and
Just. Who is there who could attend
these services, look upon the few old
veterans, left from the ranks Of the
Civil war, notice the larger number
of the boys who not long ago went
overseas to battle for humanity, and
notice the sparkle in their eyes as they
honor the Stars and Stripes and you
know they are proud of the fact that
they risked all for their country's
honor. then tell US if you please that
patriotism is but sham and show.
You can't do it, because through those
services you have learned the great
lesson and your heart has welled up
with that prideful spirit which gives
to you that patriotic love for the
country that produces such men and
honors them in manner such as you
witnessed at these services. If you
did not experience that feeling, we
are sorry for you and hope that future
schools of patriotism will bring you
to full realization of your duty and
make the right kind of a citizen of
you.

that when "a belligerent command.

Accompanying Packard was A. T.

Speculation is rife as to the

Delay in Rum Seizure
Causes Surprise Here;
Told By Phone to Move

Officials Of the Treasury Depart.
ment were at a loss today to under.
stand why customs officers at New
York city delayed the work of re-
moving seized liquor stores from
the British liner Baltic. Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Moss
said that no new instructions had
been issued to the New York office,
and that none were contemplated.
AS soon as he was informed by
press dispatches that the liquor
was being left aboard the Baltic,
Secretary Moss called customs Of
ficers at New York on the telephone
for a report. They informed him
that the seizures were continuing.
Reports reached the Treasury De-
partment that the orders to seize
the liquor had been rescinded, but
these were promptly and emphati-
cally denied by Secretary Moss, who
has complete charge of prohibition
matters in the absence Of Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon.

which concerns not local laws but
