patriotic societies, graves are decorat-
ed, and reverent mention is made Of
those who died in other conflicts-the
Revolutionary war, when about 10000
Americans were engaged; the War of
1912, with 576,222 Americans on land
and sea- the Mexican war and the
Indian campaigns. 1t is possible
that also one decorated the graves of
some who were engaged in the naval
war with France, when 4,593 Ameri-
cans manned warships in hostilities
lasting from July 0, 1898, until Sep
TENDER 80, 1900.
Little has been written or published
regarding the origin and development
of the American Memorial day. Search
in libraries brings to light almost
nothing save newspaper reports of To-
cal celebrations here or there and
speeches usually privately printed in
pamphlet form. In 1911, however, a
New York publisher brought out vol
ume edited by Robert Haven Schauff-
ler who wrote an Introductory chap
ter in which he quoted from Walsh's
"Curiosities of Popular Customs" and
popular Antiquities" as we'll as from
Coughs "Sepulchral Monuments"
Flowers and Antiquity.
From these and one or two other
works in their special field of history
it appears that the custom of strewing
flowers on the graves Of departed
friends and national heroes is very
ancient indeed More than fourteen
hundred years ago the Benedectine
monasteries used to hold memorial
services at Whitsuntide for their de-
parted brethren. The Greeks used to
place on tombS a species of hyacinth
with parsley and myrtle. The Romans
added fillets of wood. But the print
tive Christians deemed such practices
almost impertinent.
In brief, says Schauffler, days par
ticularly set apart for ceremonies In
honor of the dead are common to man
kind and are well-nigh as old as his
tory itself. Frequently these ancient
ceremonies included offerings in addi-
ton to the flowers which have been
almost universally strewn on graves.
Savage or semi-savage peoples, like
some of the North American Indian
tribes, killed ponies or dogs, which
were placed with hunting implements
on the grave of departed chieftain;
and as every one knows, tombs of
the pharaohs were repositories of val
liable offerings.
AS civilization advanced, here and
there, toward the more poetic and the
more spiritual, material gifts for the
departed were changed into beautiful
symbols, such as fragrant blossoms
these being of nature different from
monuments or other structures Of
stone or metal which served primarily
as marking places and for brief in
scriptions.

~ OMANCE blended with tender
~ sympathy lends a sacred atinOs-
phere to the origin of that pc
culiarly American celebration
termed Memorial day. In the spring of
1867, two years after the Civil war
was ended, a New York, newspaper
published a paragraph briefly reciting
that "the women of Columbus, Miss,
have shown themselves impartial in
their offerings made to the memory
of the dead. They strewed flowers
alike on the graves of Confederate
and of National soldiers"
The announcement sent a thrill
through the heart of the whole coun-
try, Henry Rood writes in the New
York Times, for it was the first appli-
cation of that healing balm to ma
ton which for four years had been
fiercely engaged in tie most terrible
fratricidal conflict known to human
annals.
Anger, hatred, suspicion stiu were
rife in 1867 when the little newspaper
paragraph appeared telling of the ten
der action.
General Logan's order instituting
the ceremonies of Memorial day, con-
Guided as follows:
SIT is the purpose of the commander
In chief to inaugurate this observance
with the hope that it will be kept up
from year to year while a survivor
of the war remains to honor the men,

North in Hearty Response.
The value of the idea at once was
appreciated, and legislatures of large
number Of states designated May 80 as
a legal holiday. So great was the re-
Spouse of the North to the unselfish
action of the women of Columbus,
Miss, that it struck fire in the heart of
young lawyer, Francis Miles Finch of
ithaca, n. Y, who wrote a poem en-
titled THE Blue and the Gray" which
since then has become closely identi-
fed with the day. Not long afterward
Henry Grady, Georgia statesman,
writer and orator, in one of his IA
nous addresses made the following
reference:
''In soliciting the participation of
Confederate soldiers in the solemnities
of this day, you mean to tender them
an overture of reconciliation, to avow
your good will toward your recent ad-

for the prevalence of peace and fra
ternal feeling between the belligerent
sections
"By no token more touching and
impressive could you make manifest
those liberal and patriotic sentiments.

in the simple, but pathetic ceremonial
by which, on this hallowed anniver-
sary, you symbolic the perennial
bloom and fragrance associated with
the memory of your departed COM

homage you render to the fallen he

a testimonial of your kindness and

Of our ardent southern natures, the
inarticulate but heartfelt aspiration

New Wars and New Graves.
Principally under the auspices of
G.. \. Il. posts all over the country
Memorial day became more and more
widely celebrated. probably reaching
its peak more than three decades ago
the year of the grand review of
G. A. r. veterans in Washington.
Then, little by little, as comrades be-
gan to drop out by reason of advanc-
ing age, the annual ceremonies attrac-
ted less general attention. The men
WHO fought the Civil war were pass
ing. Young men who knew of it only
by hearsay were coming forward in
the full tide of activity. Modern con-
ditions of life swept to the fore, with
all their weight of business, industrial
and social strain. Added to this. i'm
! mense throngs of immigrants from
other lands swarmed hither, most of
whom had but the slightest interest
in the struggle between North and
South which ended so long before;
who could not understand the sacred
ness of this American national OBJ
servance which was as foreign to
them as the national holidays of Lithu-
ania or Croatia, for example, would
De to Americans.
Day Restored to Honor.
The Spanish war and its attendant
loss of life caused a renewal in the
numbers of those who observed Memo
rial day. And when May 80 1918,
rolled around, with the first harvest
of American lives gathered by the
Grim Reaper because of tie World
war, the observance again swung to
it's full height as a ceremonial of
honor, personal sorrow and national
gratitude.
In many of the older parts Of the
country are decorated not only the
graves of those who fell in the Civil
war, the Spanish war and the World
war, but, owing to the influence of
