Mayor Suggests Penna- nent Tribute to Late Df.
 Lewis in Radio Address

Talks on behalf of the Salvation Army financial campaign were given over the radio last night by Mayor Vincent A. scully and Rev. pr. John c. Walker, pastor of tho Second Congregational church. Formation of Q lawyers committees to aid the drive was announced.
 Mayor eculiy suggested the eS- tablishment here of Q permanent shelter for transients, dedicated to the memory of the late pr. John N. Lewis. The shelter would be op- erated by the Salvation Army, and would offer food and rest to home- less wanderers. Many of the tran. slents, he said, now must be acc cofnmodated at police headquarters.
 The work of Adjutant Hugo WI. berg, local Salvation Army director, won high praise from pr. Walker. The Salvation Army, he said, IS able to reach many persons who cannot be reached by the churches.
 Formation of the lawyefg conn mittee was announced by Probate Judge Patrick Heaiey. The follow ing have agreed to serve:
 Harry J. Beardsley, Nathan iel A. Bronson, Terence r. Carmody, Perry 0raicerstein, Miss Catherine P. Iianlon, Edward Mascolo, Wal. ter Torrance, Michael 4. Ciano, John A. Membrino, Harry M, Al- bert, Milton w. 0oss, James D. Russell, Michael V. Blansfield, John s. Monagan.

In Memorianl Sacrifices of Boys of '98 R c c ale d. Spirit Still Dom.
 inant Among
 Veterans.

On this day when veterans of the Spanish American War decor ate the graves of those who have gone on before, 1t Is good to recall the spirit of those boys of s98 who volunteered to give their lives that America might carry on the tra- ditions of l778, 1872 and the great CivM War. They gave freely and unreservedly of the best, the all they had to give. Today they stand united in defense of those same traditions, in defense of all that America stands for, the America of George Washington, of Jefferson and the American Constitution. That is still the spirit of '98l
 It Is not always the enemies outside of our gates that are to be feared, but those enemies who devoid of the true spirit of Ameri- cans, are willing to sell, to barter our freedom of thought, our free- dom of speech and our civil rights for personal preferment or indi- vidual gain or political power, We are truly facing abnormal times" when we have to look back at our history for courage to carry on In the dark hours that lie ahead of our nation. Just as the dead who lie in Flanders Field who died to save the world for democracy, with their dying breath called upon their buddies to bear the torch of freedom and to hold 1t high, 50 must the veter- ans of Q stand i8n the advance guard of the nation to sec that those who lie across the Pacific in far off graves, and in the free soil of Cuba may know that their sacrifice was not in vain.
 The question before us today is that question: "Will they have died in vain2" Today when our united nation pauses to strew their unforgotten graves with flowersl Today We Honor Equal Dead It Is the brave who first forget, And noble foes that first unite: Not they who strife and passion
 whet,
 Then fail when there is need to
 strike.
 'Tis mutual courage that forgives, And answering honor that
 forgives,
 And answering honor that
 outlives
 The onset's hour, the battles day: The hearts that dare are quick
 to feel:
 The hands that wound are soft to
 heel:
 The blood that aims . hero's
 steel,
 His proud tears wash awayl One holier sun awakes at last For North and South the blithe,
 bright hours: No more upon our dead are cast The once divided gifts of flowers, But where the live-oak hides in
 moss
 And where the plumy larches
 toss
 Their arms above the MayfloweFs
 bed,
 And where white waves of
 prairie crawl To meet, far-west, their mountain
 wall,
 The peoples voice says: "Peace
 to all!
 We honor equal dead"
