THE Memorial Day exercises
i throughout the United States
today bring 10 all who participate
In them the sense OF renewing old
associations.
That IL Of course the beautiful
purpose Of Memorial Day.
We keep the resting places OF
our beloved dead green and bright
with flowers because these are the
evidences Of living things. and We
like 10 feel that memories re-
freshed in this atmosphere restore
and preserve those from whom We
are parted.
Memory II the nearest thing "a
divine power we mortals possess
More than a hundred years ago
before Memorial Day was an Off.
cially observed occasion. George
LinIey wrote a song about the
wonderful gift which men posses.
tn give life 10 the departed
through recollection.
Though lost to sight, to
memory dear
'Tbou erer tfiit remain:
One'only hope my heart can
cheer
The hope 10 meet again"
The spirit Of this fine old Amer
lean song IL familiar TO us all
though the words may not be.
IL expresses one of the most
deeply fixed of all human beliefs
that a relationship between people
which Is based on affection and
respect does not end at the grave
side, hut endures most intimately
II we did not have this earnest
belief, we would not hold our bury

OFFICERS IN DARK

So closely guarded was the
fact that the maneuver was
purely for practice that even rank
ing officers at the fort were not
aware II was not a real emer-
gency.
Every precaution was taken 10
guard the reservation completely.
All leaves were cancelled and all
officers quartered in Battle Creek
were ordered back TO the reserva-
ton.
All OF the some 1000 troops
left at the fort were pressed into
service as guards. All carried
live" ammunition in their rifles
and side arms and some were
armed with axe handles. according
10 Capt. Richard Merrick, post
intelligence officer.
Captain Merrick said the guards
wore their understands outside

TRAFFIC KEPT AWAY

Specldl detachmentS were sent
from the fort in trucks to man all
approaches TO the reservation and
detour traffic, which at no point
was allowed within half a mile OF
the fort
Additional guards were thrown
around the Consumers Power
sub-station in Battle Creek which
supplies power TO the fort and
like precautions were taken with
the pumping station which sup
plies the water.
All defense plants in Battle
Creek were under armed guard
within half an hour of the alarm.
These included the Duplex Print
ing Company. which manufac-
lures gun carriages for the army;
the Eaton Manufacturing plant.
making parts for airplane motors,
and the Clark Eqdipfient Com
pany, which furnishes small trucks
for moving planes.
TRAFFIC JAMS DUE
Huge traffic jams were expected
today if the alert continues since
many families were presumably
travelling 10 the fort to visit sons
who failed TO get leave.
The move, coming on the eve of
a holiday. seemed all the more
real TO those at the fort.
Captain Merrick said all roads
between Battle Creek and Kala-
mazoo, distance of about %
miles, would be virtually closed
TO traffic FOR the duration" How
long that would be was not re-

Fall Likely

tBy United Press)
With the Blue Third Army in the
Field, Sept. 27-UP-The fall OF
Shreveport was believed imminent
today as advance elements OF the
Blue srmy's second srmored divl.
sion penetrated its defenses and
entered the city.
The armored units had with
greatest secrecy crossed the Sabine
River into Texas at Merryville FRI
day morning, moved 200 miles
northward thus skirting the de
Tending Red second army forces,
and recrossed the Sabine at Shreye-
port.
Meanwhile the main Blue forces
assisted by aviation continued
pushing the Red center until now
the Blues are less than 40 miles
from Shreveport. The Reds still
refuse to give battle with massed
forces, and Blue officers predicted
the end to come shortly with the
defending Red forces hopelessly
surrounded.
The grand final struggle expected
yesterday when it was believed
the retreating Reds at last would
make a stand, failed to materialize
as the Blue aviation so harassed
the Reds that they were unable to
organize a line of resistance.
