mrnlnrtal Iau

Tomorrow is Memorial Day, and n every city and hamlet in these United States, their ct izens will gather to pay honor to the memories of those who have given their services and thelr lives for their country. Since the late war Me morial Day has double meaning, the veterans of the Civil War; the Spanish-Amer1can War and the World War, joining in paying tribute 10 those residents of the Silent City, who were con- rades in arms and participated in those conflicts
 But the thought strikes us that while It Is just and proper to pay honor to the dead, we are lax in our respect to the living veterans. The maimed, the aged, and the helpless veterans are crying for assistance from all parts Of the coun- try. Scandal after scandal has arose over treat ment of the disabled veterans of the World War. Thousands of men are helpless cr1pples today, with little to look forward too until taps are sounded over their last resting place and the citizens honor them for perhaps the first time by participating in memorial services over their graves.
 The living should be honored before the dead. Every comfort that can be devised should be- cheerfully rendered, and help extended un- solicited to the maimed and helpless. Let this memorial day service open your eyes to the needs of the living, and force Congress to give the help that is due them. They will rest easier in their last sleep if they are shown their services were appreciated by their fellow citizens.

the city in establishing a permanent
boardwalk line With such line,
whether ii is 100 or 200 feet out
from the present walk, will come
a number of permanent improve

White Daughter of Birds En-
plOyer Had Baby; Gave 1t

IN. A. A. c. P. Press service) n

+ IN. A. A. G. P. Press Serv1ce) -
New York, Sept. 9-Through the
N. A. A. C. P, a startling new light
has been thrown on the events pre-
ceding the mob murder of Raymond
Bird in Wytheville, Va.
An informant who was in Wythe-
Vile on the day of the lynching states
that the colored boy had been en-
ployed for a number of years on the
farm of a white man and had worked
on the farm together with the white
mans daughter. Their working to-
gether had caused comment in the
neighborhood, it was stated.
Finally a baby was born to the
white girl. She made an appoint
ment with the colored boy and gave
him the baby. He took it to the
house of colored friends who are at
present caring for the infant.
The mob had no trouble in storm
ing the Jail, it is alleged. In fact,
the sheriff, knowing the weakness of
the Jail door, had asked that the col
ored boy who had been arrested on
charge of assault" be removed. This
request was, however, disregarded by
the authorities. The white girl de-
clined to accuse the colored boy. it
is alleged.
