BNGHAH PRASES | * PATROTS IDEALS Urges Keeping Modern: Standards High, in Ad- dress at Cathedral. Declaring that those great patriots| wko fought for the principles upon ! which this country was founded “gave everything they had for their, tdeals,” Senator Hiram Ringham of [ Connecticut made a plea for the pres ant generation to award them by keeping ideals of modern times high, in an address before a throns of about 20,000 persons gathered at| mmemorial exercises in the openair | amphitheater of the National Cathe- dral at Mount St. Alban yesterday afternoon. In reference to the ideals of those patriots in whose men: the vast erowd joined to pay tribute, Senator Bingham declared v belfeved in the ideal of a self soverning com- munity. To their communities they were loyal, even unto death. The believed that without community life there could be no peace. Nothing was too hard or too difficult for them when their ideals of locai self gov- ernment, of the right of representa * tive government, or the right of free men were 1o be achieved.” ; The crowd was grouped in a pic- turesque setting on the slopes of the natural amphitheater. A special speakers’ platform and additional platforms for the Army Band and guests had been erected for the oc: casion. Living at Top Speed. Senator Bingham. in his address. pictured the great speed with which the populace of this country is living at the present time. 1ie told of mod ern inventions which help to faci tate this speed. “'In » word,” he said. “we are 8o concerned with the rapid panorama of events which Is speed- ing by that we easily forget what has gone before and we do not spend enough time in reflection. How sel dom do we serve our country as well ax we could or with all our might.” Summing up the present situation. which, he pointed out, has resulied fn laxness on the part of citizens in exercising their rights of citizenship, he indicated that it is not more laws that America needs today, but a ve- turn to the Golden Rule. “The real Aisease is careloss or selfish failure to exercise the rights and duties of citi zenship."” Bishop James E. Freeman of the Alocese of Washington delivered a drief address. He declared that we need not only to remember the deeds of those great patriots who have zone ®Before, but that we need to rediscover those great principles for which they stood. Tndicating that there are those who would tear down both religion and the traditions of this country. he said know that there mav be some cheap author who would cast aspersions on him. the father of his countrv.” Choir of 600 Sings.

Congress enters upon another calen- dar month tomorrow with the date for adjounrment still in doubt because of important legislation awaiting ac- tion, including far relief, expansion of (he military air forces and the French debt settlement. When the Senate meets tomorrow an effort may be made to invoke clo | ture, limiting debate, to force a vote on the migratory bird bill, which has been before the Senate for two weeks. Leading advocates of.farm legislation served notice Saturday that if the bird hill is not disposed of early this week they will move to lay it aside and take up the farm problem. House leaders have arranged a pro- gram calling for action on the French debt Tuesday and the transmission of that problem to the Senate where a long fight s threatened unless resort is made tonight sessions to wear down the opposition. Wednesday the House will seek to clear up many bills on the calendar and will devote the remainder of the week to the $36,000.000 rivers and har- bors measure, with its highly con- troverted lake water diversion section. Efforts to get the House agriculture committee to frame a modified agri- culture aid measure are to be renewed this week. but the present outlook is that the committee will devote its at- tention to minor measures awaiting action by the Senate before undertak- ing to embark upon another long ses- sion to compose differences among the friends of the farmers as to the form a relief bill should take. With the Army and Navy service expansion bills, the Dill radio control measure and many other minor pet projects in the offing, Congress appar- ently is a long way from adjournment. The House will be in a fairly good position after this week, but the Sen- ate still will find itself in a muddled situation There is certain to be a lot of dis- cussion on farm relief, as a number of Senators up for re-election now or who will be two years hence, will make speeches on the subject largely for home consumption. Several already have gone on record. RITES AT NORTHEAST CEMETERY BY A N U. Auxiliary and Legion Also Have Part in Ceremonies—S. H. Epps and W. T. Conray Speak.

Speaking at memorial services held this morning at Congressional Ceme- tery, Representative John M. Robsion of Kentucky recommended that legis- tion be enacted causing American dol- lars and property to be drafted in the event of war as well as American flesh and blood. “Will it be out of place,” Mr. Rob- slon asked, “for me to point out A serv- ice that we can render to the Nation? In all the wars that have gone before Sur Nation has claimed the right, and it has the power, to draft the Na- tion’s manhood and womanhood, flesh and blood, for its defense, while the dollars may remain at home and prof- iteer upon the Government. “In the recent World War dollars and property too, often profiteered and there were filched from our country, when its very life was at stake, billions. 1 know of instances in which every time the sun went | down, men in business had reached for himself made more than $1,000 of profits, while the American bo: Flander's Field had $1.25 a day, board and clothes. Should we not shape our laws that when the next war comes, and 1 pray God it may never come, American dollars and American property may be drafted the same as American flesh and blood.” Veterans' Aid in Service.

Some of those who struggled for mearly eight long years with ! Washington; those who were with Perry when he swept the hostile flag from our inland seas; those who su: tained Gen. Jackson at New Orlean: those who marched with Gen. Scott Land Taylor to the very citadels of the Montezumas; those who held the line at Vicksburg and Gettysbur, and those on many other battlefields in the struggle to free a race and to save the union.
