ct is not only because of the
remnant of the Grand Army Of the
Republic that we still have with us,
not because Of the American Legion
nor because Of the flag decorated
graves tn..I we celebrate Memorial
Day." Mr.. Nestos said, s'but it is be-
cause Of the ideals with which these
infuse our minds and hearts and
the cause they inspire lin our soul.
We need these celebrations for our
own sakes and for the sakes of the
new generations. that they may catch
tn words of the patriots of old and
carry on the work that they have so
nobly begun. and that we may contrib
ute our share toward the worlds
growth in liberty and progress"
All nations have always honored
their citizens who died in battle. and
all the world is the sepulchrc for IL
lustrious men, the speaker said,
pointing out that the United States
first observed Memorial Day because
of the proclamation of General Logan
set aside by legislative enactment for
who laid down their lives for their
country on the fields Of battle.
Souls Marching On =.
"The soul of the mighty army of
warriors Of this country is ma rching
on with all true Americans" said
Mr. Ncstos. "Arc we faithful to the
trust and willing to hold up the
standards they advanced SO nobly
DO we live, move and act today to be
worthy of the great ancestry which
furnished such an inspiring example 2
Referring to the progress. and ad.
vancement made by this country. Mr..
Nestos said: "The hand Of Almighty
God is always present in shaping the
destiny of our Rcpublic-all great
men have acknowledged divine guild
ance in their own labors and the hand
of God in shaping the destiny Of our
country"
Regarding the prospect Of future
wars. the speaker said: eve would
indeed be happy If we were assured
that war would be no more Let us.
ms we consider the men who have
! sacrificed so greatly that We may
enjoy liberty and freedom. join in
holding up the great standard Of
our Republic that the liberty which
they won will not be lost"

The Burtncss Bill

The bill prepared BY Mr.. Burtncss
during the last congress and again
at this session proposed new plan
with reference to paying jurors and
witnesses He proposed paying those
who could not return to their homes
at night a subsistence allowance Of
$500 per day. sum deemed suffi-
Client to permit them to find a COM
Portable room and obtain moderate
meals. in addition to their per diem.
The judiciary committee Of the house
adopted this plan with reference to
witnesses. but decided to amend the
bill SO AS to simply increase the per
diem allowance of jurors from $500
to $500 per day, and in such amended
form the Burtncss bill was approved
by both houses and signed by the
president.
If the policy is found to operate
we'll as to witnesses it is quite likely
that similar change will later be
made with reference to jurors. 1t
is the contention of the proponents
of the bin as originally drawn that
the juror who attends court in his
home town sacrifices very little as
compa red with the one who must leave
his farm or business for weeks at a
time, and that a faircr arrangement
for all concerned is to allow for all
Jurors only small per diem compcn-
sation. but to grant those who can
not return home at night a sufficient
allowance for subsistence to take
care Of their EXPENSES.
Instructions have gone out to court
officials to put the law into effect.

If Russia finds enough gold and

Also gold and oil may influence
the Russian government considerably.
Now Russia thinks it believes in com

needy
But when Russia really has some
thing to divide, oil and gold, in suffi-
Gent quantities, the programme may
change.

listened in puzzlement, not believing
its ears that this could be meant for
laughter. Somehow people generally
seem to expect music to be a muse
that always wears either a deeply
tragic expression or surprising emo
tionalism-always superlative inten-
sity. Yet here was Stravinsky coyly
poking fun and Mr.. Mengelberg in
sisting that he should not be taken
seriously. At last the joke became

was held out by mine officials that
the miners would be brought to the
surface safely. They based this hope
on the fact that one of the group was

and on the belief that the men made
their way to a finger Of the gangway

Water Eight Feet Deep.
The water in sections Of the shaft
is feet deep. Emergency pumps
were installed and air was forced into
the mine. Because of the depth of
the shaft, little headway was made
with pumps and it was feared that the
miners would not be- reached until the
water should subside naturally. This
may require several days.
Officials persuaded the wives and
families of the men that it would be
useless and also dangerous to assem-

The fate of six miners entombed be-

The men were trapped yesterday
afternoon when a nearby creek broke

than 100 other miners in the shaft
heard the roar of the waters and
scrambled to the surface in time to
escape Imprisonment.

Rescue crews worked feverishly
throughout the night to extricate the
entombed men, but today they had
not succeeded in stopping the flow of
