The procession to the cemetery, wnich was to have been held immed- lately after the church exercises, was curtailed owlng to the rain. Members of the Spanish American War veterans, the Veterans of For- eign wars and the marshal of the day marched to the cemetery and did honor to the dead.

The graves of all former service men of all wars were decorated this morning previous to the services at the church. The services were opened with the celebration of a solemn high mags followed by a forceful sermon on “Catholicism and Americanism” by the Rev. John H.

WASHINGTON, May 30. —Proposals for American adherence to the world court contingent upon its disassociation from _ the League of Nations, were spurned by President Coolidge in his Memorial Day address at Arling- ton as unworthy of American prin- ciples and traditions, “If we receive anything we must surrender something,” said the president, speaking of the World court and the question of American membership in it." We may as well face the question candidly and if we are willing to assume these new duties in. exchange for the benefits which would accrue to us, let us say 80. If we are not wil- ing, let us say that. We can ac- complish nothing by taking a doubt- ful or ambiguous position.” The president did not refer direct- ly to the plan advanced by the ma- jority of the senate foreign reta- tions committee for American mem- bership in the permanent court of International.justioe provided the signatory nations agree to disasso- ciate the court from the League, but his declarations was taken generally to apply to that proposal. He renewed the endorsement of the original Harding-Hughes World court plan and said he would not oppose other reservations, but at the same time asserted “any ma- terial changes which would not probably receive the consent of the many other nations would be 1m- practicable,” Warning was given by the preal- dent against leaving the court un- defended because history has shown “there have been and will be ten- dencies of one nation to encroach on another.” He coupled with this warning, hotvev he statement that he was opposed “to every kind of military aggrandizement and to all forms of (Continued on Page Ten.)
