Why She Wouldn't Allez

An American truck driver was push
ing his ''steed" steadily toward the
rail head in a sector which had for
merly been under heavy shell fire,
along road where shattered build
ings were dimly outlined in the dark.
Suddenly he slammed on the brakes
and his truck came to a jolting halt
before the erect figure Of woman in
the middle of the highway. There she
stood, immovable.
Down came the surprised driver
from his seat and proceeded to I'M
timber his best French, which was
none too good, upon the woman.
"Madame," he began politely. al
iez, sill vous plait. Allez, tout de
suite"
There was no reply. His progress
remained blocked. The driver tried
again, this time with something Of
Importance.
"Allez! Allez. vite. Aw hi, get
off the road, will you?" Still there
was no reply. But across the road
from within the yawning blackness Of
a tumbledown building came the sound
of hoarse, uncouth American laughter.
The truck driver struck match
| and leaned toward the immobile figure.
| IT was not until then he realized his
path was blocked by the stone image
Of an angel, taken from the ruins Of
| shell-wrecked church which stood
| nearby.

Something apart may God forget the rest
TINE observance of Memorial day finds it's
i motivating influence deep in the human
heart, and prototypes of the day and the service
are common all through history. The early
Greeks paid honor to their heroic dead in much
the same way as we now keep green the men,
cries of our war slain.
The favorite shrine of the Greeks was Their
mopylae, where 800 Spartans withstood an
army, and this spot was, for centuries, held in
reverence by the lovers Of liberty. Monuments
erected to heroes were covered with garlands
and the graves strewn with flowers and olives.
The Romans carried the observance to the
point of solemn ritual, and a national holiday
was set aside from February 10 to 81. During
that period the gates to the temples of the gods
were closed and fixed exercises held in honor
of the dead and sacrifices made Naturally, this
was the occasion of solemn military displays,
and the entire nation joined in the triunphs for
both the living and dead

they would pay tribute to the memory of their

in 1874 congress by enactment designated Me-
mortal day as the official name and set aside
May 80 for it's observance and further declaring
it to be national holiday.
On this day the graves Of soldiers who fell
in all our wars are decorated with flowers and

names to schoolboys came to have real
meaning as the lads watched bent, gray old
men kneel beside grave and heard them say:
"Jina never came back from the Wilderness"
or "Tom fell at Fort Fisher"
To these names, English and easily renern-
bered, have come others: The Marine, Belleau
Wood, Verdun and hundred others at which
some of those schoolboys gave their all.

1xOpCAuA,
 With the series tied at one match each, Great Britain hopes to take the rubber match and to follow through with British victory in the open to offset the loss of its own open title to America. Britain has won the U. S. open championship only twice in 36 years of play, Harry Vardon triumphing in 1900 and Ed ward Ray in 1920, but has unusually strong representation this season and has high hopes of repeating.
 New Ball Disliked
 Ryder cup competition will be featured by the use of the balloon ball for the first time in internation- al play and the ball may be an im- portant factor in the matches. The Britons were unenthusiastic over the new ball after their first practice just as are a majority of American s'dub" players-and declare 1t would be impractical for use in England.
 Their lack of practice with the Amemrican ball is expected to be a severe handicap in the Ryder cup matches.

LOCAL LEAGUE TO
 MEET THIS EVENING

Johnny Kerwin. the Tribune A. C. guide, is expected to do most Of the talking tonight when the City Am ateur league managers meet at the city hall. An eleven inning game which the Tribes lost to BrooKiyn yesterday is the background or MT Kerwin's expected oratory, partic- ularly regarding a pitch to Ray O'TooIe. whose lone hit won the game for Brooklyn. Of course other league business will come up, but the protest on the umpire's de- cision will probably take up most Of the meeting time.
 Managers of the City Recreation eague meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the Biener and Conroy sport shop on East Main street.
