He found his friend stretched on the floor beside the bed, a .32-caliber revolver in his right hand. A bullet had plowed through the right temple and im- Ledded itself in the upper portion of the door frame. Martin immediately called William J.

ESS May 30.—The strike of metal workers throughout the Ruhr, which involved more than 500,000 men. was ended today, the men re- suming work. increase in wages for which they went on strike, but were refused their additional demand of a bonus of 150,000 marks each. The arrival of trained police at Bochum and at other strike zones in the Ruhr yesterday was welcomed by the German officials as being cer- tain to liquidate the unrest. The officials predicted that there would be little more trouble from the “rede.” Sixty-five police from Dues- j seldorf were sent into Bochum to re- inforce the firemen and white guards, who since Friday night had been be- sieged In the headquarters of the firemen. On the arrival of the policemen there “was a rapid _dis- appearance of all the wearers of red armlets. The local guards and firemen at several towns in the Ruhr were re- inforced by police from the Rhine- land under an agreement with the various French commanders. The German officials expressed the belief that the situation would take on the aspect of an ordinary strike and that the reign of terror attributed to the communist element, in which nearly fifty persons have been killed, would come to an end. The casualties in Bochum, according to the Germans, many wounded in the three days of fighting. A new kind of profiteering. made its appearance. At Essen, Gelson- kirchen and other towns, where the workers' commission of control com- pelled storekeepers to reduce prices, the stocks were sold out at the new rate to persons who took them else- normal again. i Simultaneously the citizens’ com- mittee, working directly in co-opera-! tion with the Shrine central commit- tee, relterated its declaration that profiteering and price raising during !Shrine week seems to have been defi- nitely stopped. Should such a move- ment by restaurants and commercial houses become general again, it was stated, the gougers will find not only the Shriners, but also the Department of Justice thoroughly organized to deal summarily with them, Prevent Fake Shortage. The Shriners made it plain that they would be just as diligent in protecting Washington against profi- teering after the visitors have left as they were in making sure the city's guests would not be asked to pay un- reasonable prices here. Reports were received at headquarters that some busin places were planning to seize upon the situation to “fake” food shortage and boost prices. The statement of Mr. Wilkins, himself head of one of the city's largest wholesale houses, completely check- mated such a project. “The hotels, restaurants, eatfng houses and private householders of Washington,” Mr. Wilkins said, “have responded to the situation so splen- didly in the last week that I can now assure the public there is right now in the wholesale warehouses, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, ete., an adequate - supply of food of every description to last through the con- vention and _until railroad ship- ments again become normal. There is absolutely no cause for worry on the food supply situation. Washing- ton and its guests can feast and fete never before, without any fear of having empty larders when the convention is over.” Early Orders Urged. At the same time Anton A. Auth, chaifman of the service committee of the citizens’ committee, issued an urgent appeal for all persons—confi- mercial houses and private homes alike—to order fresh food products from twelve to twenty-four hours in advance of delivery to facilitate the general traffic condition. He also urged them to arrange to receive de- liveries at times when the public streets will be least crowded. The same request was made Dby the laundries. By tomorrow night—about forty- right hours before the real conven- tion rush starts—Washington will be ready to receive its visitors. It is; estimated that about 30,000 of them are already in the city. Members of the De Molay Boys stationed @t Hy- attsville declared yvesterday they had counted seventcen automobiles with Pennsylvania tags alone pass en route to Washington in less than half an hour.

PARIS, May 30.—If Germany's re- sistance in the Ruhr is prolonged into mext winter France will “at once begin considering means of applying greater pressure.” said Premier Poin- e in concluding yvesterday's debate | in the chamber of deputies. By a vote of 505 to 67 the chamber granted the June expenses of the occupation and voiced their confidence in the government. M. Poincare said he was convinced Germany would be unable to resist much longer. “Besides,” he added, “it is unwise to let Germany think we are in a hurry- The more we let her think that the longer will be her re- sistance. “Germany has got to come to a set- tlement; she has got to pay. To do that, she must reform her flnances and prepare a great international loan. She did not do it before the occupation and she will only do it on compulsion. “Before the war somebody said to Viviani: ‘Leave things to the German socialists; they will be able to pre- vent war.' You know how events have disproved those words today. Let us undertake to obtain payment of the reparations. Let us ourselves assure the triumph of justice.

The latter yielded an unearned run in the fifth when Peck messed up a roiler after Witt and Dugan had singled. Ruel's single, a pass to Bluege, Rice's second double and a wild pitch enabled ¢ the Griffmen to knot the count in the seventh, but Hollingsworth took an as- cension in the following frame and set the stage for the margin the cham- pions won by when he loaded the bases by walking Ward, Scott and Pennock in a row. Zachary was called on ‘t this juncture and disposed of Witt, but he was solved for a single by Dugan that netted a pair of tallies. The Nationals were unable to make any headway against Pennock in the last two frames. FIRST INNING. NEW YORK—Witt fanned. Dugan popped to Peck.

TO FURTHER PEACE OF THE WORLD, DECLARES Text of Address Of President at . Arlington Rites Veterans of our Armies: This is the special day of the nation’s gratitude, most genuinely felt and most gladly expressed. I do not believe republics are un- grateful. They may sometimes have the seeming of ingratitude, but, since republics must be like the citizens who constitute them, we are bound ‘to believe our re- public full of the gratitude which animates our citizenship. B Sometimes we reasonably may ask what are the most becoming expressions of genuine gratitude. I have seen it in individuals so deep and so engulfing that it could not be expressed in words. Grate- ful souls are sometimes silent, though inwardly vibrant with grateful appreciation. Urges Less Criticiam. On reflection 1 believe the gratitude of action vastly sur- passes that of words. It is good to have the spoken expression. The world needs more of it. I wish we might have less condemnation of error, and more condemnation of right. We ought to have much less of bitter criticism of errors, and more of approval and appre- ciation for things well dome. I am not thinking of government s0 much as of the individual. When we do a helpful thing for the in- dividual we help the whole com- munity. And I like to think of the individual citizen as a veteran of our contending forces in peace as well as a defender in war, who deserves likewise the gratitude of his countrymen. Tt little matters what war one served In. The supreme offering of life on the altar of American patriotism was the same in every one. No man could offer more. It calls for gratitude unlimited and unfailing. Real Compensation to Livi The span of life of the republic 1s yet so limited that veterans of the Mexican war are still surviv- ing, and widows of veterans of the war of 1812 are now on the government's pension rolls. We rejoice that so many of the Grand Army of the Republic survive to give us the very soul of the day they originated, and we honor the participants in the Spanish- .American war, and, with all the honored older veterans, we grate- fully include the fallen of the great world war in the offering of grateful memory. Yes, we are met in_memory of the fallen, but I eannot-escape the thought that the real compensa- tion comes to the living. The fal- len 4o not, cannot know of our remembrance of them, but the liv- ing may take to their breasts the consolation that the republic does love and revere, and comfort it- self in so doing. Just as sure as present-day civilization endures, just so sure will the Americans of next vear and the next century i and the century after that be | meeting gratefully on Memorial day to pay memory’s tribute to the | soidier dead who had served the republic. Veterans marching near the shadows, but wita heads erect and hearts all brave; veterans of middle age. who look back on (Continued on Page 4, Column 4.) MRS, HARDING AIDS| IN PLANTING TREE | v | |Elm, Tribute of Disabled Vet-| erans to War Dead, Placed at Arlington. ‘. | America’s war maimed paid tribute to America’s war dead in the National | cemetery at Arlington this morning, | when Mrs. Warren G. Harding dedi- | cated an American elm under the euspices of the Disabled American Veterans. Barren of all formal powp and with intentionally simple ceremony, the wife of the President turned over the loam into the roots of the tree Leads Nation in the Observance of Memorial Day. THOUSANDS ATTEND RITES AT ARLINGTON Mr. Harding Declares America Cannot Avoid Responsibilities. President Harding today led the National Capital, and so the whole | nation, in perhaps the greatest oh- servance of Memorial day in the history of the country. Certainly in point of attendance the exercises at Arlington national cemetery today were never’ cqualed, for thousands of visiting members of the Mystic/ Shrine, already in Washington for the convention next week, joined the hundreds of usual pilgrims to Arlington—the city of the nation’s dead. Standing with head bared in the great amphitheater at Arlington, the President reminded his hearers: “We are met in the memory of the fallen, but I cannot escape the thought that the real compensation comes to the living.” National Duty to Living. Of the nation’s duty to the living, President Harding solemnly de- clared, “I believe it is a God-given duty to give of our influence to es- tablish the ways of peace through- out the world. We cannot guaran- tee,” said the President, “but we can promote the peaceful adjust- ment of disputes, we can aid in the establishments of the agencies of peace, we can be influential in com- mitting the world to the triumphs of peace and make hateful to human- kind the spoils of war. Americans have glorified in our part as the exemplar of representative democ- racy to aspiring peoples of the world. If we have been successful as the exemplar of democracy, there is a duty to perform in point- ing the way and influencing the adoption of democracy’s peace “This is a world relationship which we cannot avoid and will not avoid in the spirit of the America which we rejoice to boast. But there is one thing which we may do among ourselves alone to make our own participation less likely and banish much if war's hatefulnesss if national honor must call us to arms.” o Nation's Debt to Veterans. Regarding the nation’s debt to veterans of all wars, the President declared, “I spoke a moment ago of the deeper gratitude expressed in action. My thought was not of com- pensations or of pensions or of the government's care for the disabled. These are obligations, and their dis- charge is a duty. There can be a gratitude of action, which is a still finer and nobler thing. _“There is another gratitude of ac- tion which surpasses all expressed in the others, which I hope to see re- corded to glorify the last days of the civil war veterans and to add fullness to the lives of the world war vet- erans and tranquilize the lives of all merica and the world. I devoutly wish the United States to do its full part toward making war unlikely if not impossible. While I would abhor a pacifist America, 1 would rejoice to have the United States proven to be unafraid and yet the most peace- loving and the foremost peace-pro- moting nation in all the world. We have already proven that we can less of armaments. Let us strive for the assurance that we shall have none of war.” Exercises in Amphitheater. At 12:30 o'clock today the President that had been contributed by the American Forestry Association from a northern nursery. At the request of the Disabled Amer- ican Veterans and with the approval of Mrs. Harding, there was little ad- vance notice of the affair; still, when the White ' House car arrived with the principal figure in the ceremony, accompanied by Miss Laura Harlan, ber secretary, and Maj. Ballinger. presidential aide, hundreds of casual visitors, who make an annual pil grimage to the graves of their rela tives, surrounded the plot. All' three branches of the national defense were represented. The guard of honor was a detail of soldiers or- dered from Fort Washington; a naval chaplain pronounced invocation and & marine bugler sounded “To the Colors” as = finale, The elm, which wiil later be marked by & bronze plque by the Disabled American Veterans, siands in a sep- arate plot less than a hundred yards northwest of the grave of the un known soldler.

The exercises, under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic and allied or- ganizations, were held in the pure white ampitheater at the cemetery, submerged by the great throngs which crowded it. The formal observance at Ar'ington followed the parade of the remnant of the Grand Army of the Republic through the streets of tho capital. The procession of men in the blue of ‘64 started in front of the G. A. R. Hall, on Pennsylvania avenue between 14th and 15th streets, and ended at the cars of the Washingtqn-Virginia Railway Company. Take Added Impressiveness. Always impressive, the various ob- servances today, including the parade and the exercises at Arlington, and similar observances at all the ceme- teries in and around the District of Columbia, took on added impressive- ness because of the unusually largo flmmnn which attended the formal- ties. Tt seemed, at each place where tha memories of heroes were held in rev- erence, as if the man and woman visitors had come to Washington to render this honor to those who had {ven thelr all to their country. And, n a Jarge deep sense, this was utterly true, for the solemn significance of the day seemed to be impressed upon all alike, from the President of the United States to the most humble of his fellow citizens. : Small Band in Blue.
