Exercises “Il, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Thursday, the thirtieth of May, a day already [| | freighted with sacred and stimu- lating memories, a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting, ; and do exhort my fellow citizens of all faiths and creeds to assem- ble on that day in their several places of worship and there, as well as in their homes, to pray Ai- mighty God that He may forgive | our sins and shortcomings as a | people,.and purify our hearts to see and love the truth, to accept and defend all things that are just wand right, and to purpose only ; , those righteous acts and judgments |which are in conformity to His ; will, beseeching Him that He will give victory to our armies as they | Nght for freedom, wisdom, to those who take counsel on our behalf in these days of dark struggle and perplexity, and steadfastness to | ; our people to make sacrifice to the | utmost in support of what is just | and true, bringing us at last the | peace in which men’s hearts can be at rest, because it is founded | | upon mercy, justice and good will nat o | i Bismarck’s observance of Memor- jal day will he unusually impr e. In addition to the scores of deceased veterans of the Civil, Indian and Span- ish wars, whose graves will be deco. ated in local cemeteries, Hismareik wil! honor the following sons who have fallen battling for ,democracy over+ seas: Louis Ousley, Loyd Spetz. Fred M. Grude, James J. Regnary, Marvin C. Grover, George Ward, Leonard E. Algro and Richard Francis Anderson. All of these men either enlisted trom Bismarck or Burleigh county or were members of the two Bismarck units of the»national guard. Home guardsmen will. assemble at the state armory at 9 a. m. and pro- ceed to the two cemeteries, where the graves of the soldier dead will be dec- orated ‘with flowers and, flags, and a salute will ‘be fired. As a finale taps will ‘be sounded over the silent en- campments of the dead. Practically all the churches will have services of fasting and prayer in the forenoon. Parade in Afternoon. Flags on all official buildings will be at half mast until noon, when they they will be dipped and then raised to full mast. At 1:30 in the afternoon the home guard, the ladies’ home guard, the Salvation Army, and other patriotic organizations, including the Boy Scouts, the Camp Fire girls and pupils of the public and_ parochial sehools, will assemble at the armory to:form an escort in the Memorial day parade for veterans of the Grand Arm” of the Repuple, the Woman's Relief Corps, Spanish war veterans and the Ladies’ Auxiliary to Co's. | and A, com- posed of mothers whose sons are now fighting in France. Automobiles will be provided for, the Grand Army elief Corps, Span- ish Wer Veterans and Ladies’ auxil- iary. The line will be headed by the Bismarck band, and the Salvation Army band also will play for the marchers. The line of march will be through the business section of ‘the city to the Auditorium, where Mem. orial day exercises will begin at +/ p.m. Program at Auditorium. Rev, iM. J, Hiltner, vicar general of the Bismarck Catholic diocese. will render the invocation, and the prin- cipal address will be delivered by Rev. George Buzzelle, rector of St. George's Episcopal church. Lincoln's Gettys- burgh address will be read, and the community singing will be featured by old Civil war favorites—“Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” “Marching Through Georgia,” “Tramp, Tramp. ‘Tramp, the Boys are Marching,” “John Brown’s Body Lies a Moulding in the Grave,” and ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The singing will be led by the musical organizations of the city, and everyone will be expected to join. ‘ The committee in charge trusts it will not be necessary on an occasion of such supreme solemnity and of such vital national heart interest to issue a personal appeal to fraternal organizations of the city and_patri- otic citizens generally to join in the spirit and in the material manifesta tion of the day. Memorial day parade may be made a really representative showing of the capital city’s devotion to the cause, and a general invitation is extended every fraternal and civic and patriotic o> ganization in Bismarck to take part in the parade. . Patriotic Bismarck merchants, banks, county and state and city of fices, business institutions generally are planning to close for the entire day, and to make this ‘Memorial day, one of real consecration to the cause of humanity and justice. OPPOSITION TO GERMANS GROWS IN THE UKRAINE (Moscow, Thursday, May 25.—Oppo- sition in the Ukraine against the Ger mans and the Russians supporting the central powers is extending rapidly. The peasants are firing forests, de- stroying buildings and otherwise hin- dering the work of German bands try- ing to commandeer food. The Ger mans have been forced to send addt- tional troops into Poltava where riot- ing is reported to be most serious. The peasants have organized and are armed with machine guns and rifles. The Germans are using artillery. ‘Although peace negotiations be- It is hoped that the}, Here beneath the folds of the flag he loved to well is all that remains of one of those who have gone Over the Top that we, Avho stay at home, may live in safety and honor. This picture, taken in a graveyard in France, and sent to this news- paper by the United States Committee on Public Information, shows you how they Over There honor those brave sons of our who have fallen. Beside the open grave stands the gen- enral and his staff, with heads bowed low for— “The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat The soldier’s last tatoo.” Such pictures might be made day after day and often in a day Over There, and as our boys go over in in- sing throngs more and more of them will make the supreme sacrifice. Not only do these American heroes give of their lives in actual combat with the Huns but they are paying the death toll of war in all the ways soldiers die, victims of accidents and disease as well as of guns and gases. ‘begun at Kiev, the Germans nave brok- en thet armistice on the Voronezh front, occupying the town of Valuiki after four days of fighting, and mak- ing a further advance. The Izvesta, organ of the Holsheviki, explains the advance as being due to Germany's intention to seize those portions of the Voronezh government which Uk- rania desires. Meanwhile the Ger- mans are making extensive prepara- tions in the Caucasusu and continu- ing their operations in the Jon region, where no armistice has been agreed to, Germany's intentions, says the newspaper seems to be widening in scope. ‘ Reports of the first session of the Kiev police conference held on May 23, indicate that the Germans are in no hurry for the conclusion of peace between Russia and Ukrania, The Ukrania delegates told the Russians their credentials were invalid because they did not specifically contain auth- orization for concluding peace or an armistice and also did not state wha: parts of Russia comprise the soviet re- public. The Russians requested time to make a reply and a day was grant- ed for this purpose. The Chinese representatives in Rus- sia have sent a protest to Foreign Mit ister Tchitcherin against the confisca- tion of property of Chinese firms in Mongolia and Siberia by Russian cus- toms officers and other officials. * WAR BULLETINS f “ \with the British Army in France, May -In “yesterday’s attack in Flanders, between Locre and Voor- mezeele, the Gerinans are believed to have employed four divisions on one part of this front measuring 6,000 yards.
