 Adjutant Harry D. Mum of the James McNamee chapter, No. 5, Disabled American Veterans of the World War, this morning issued proclamation for Argonne Day, which will be appropriately observ- cd tomorrow and Saturday by the selling of "forget-me-nots" upon the streets of the city, the proceeds to be given to ex-servicemen of the late war who are yet suffering from wounds received in action lover there" The proclamation fol- lows:
 Nothing further can be done for those who are now sleeping on Flanders field. The crimson poppy of Memorial Day will always keep fresh the cherished memory of their supreme sacrifice.
 But, for those who are still liv- ing and suffering because of wounds, injuries, diseases and ail- ments, incurred as a result of their service to our country much can still be done. For the generous American public, the World War is q thing of the past, but for our dis abled 'buddies' it will never end until taps are sounded and the | lights are out
 The wearing of the 'forget-me- not on Argonne Day, therefore, means much more than the express sion of sentiment; it carries with 1t as well, the fact that the wearer is thereby performing an unselfish service by assisting unfortunate, needy and disabled veterans. By remembering the living, we can best honor the dead.
 "Forget-me-nots bloom every where,
 "On coat lapels and ladies fair,
 Spreading kindness by such giv-
 ing,
 "Honoring the dead by serving the living.
 "AdjutarI Harry D. Mum,
