The United Spanish-American War Veterans had charge of the memorial exercises in two programs at St. Eliza- beth’s Hospital, one at the cemetery vesterday morning, and another yes- terday afternoon at Hitchcock Hall.

Cushing ( amp isted by Auxiliary, Ni . and George E. Killeen Post, No. 25, Amer jcan Legion. ssembly was sounded at 9:30. Chaplain Frank A. De Groot of Cush- ing mp pronounced the invocation SR Bailey Brewer read the orig- inal Memorial day order. After sing- ing of “America” by the audience Mrs. Rose Rutledge read Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. A salute to the dead was fired by a squad from Ci pany C, 121st Engineers, District tional Guard, under Staff Serg. Wil- fred Garlick. Benediction and “Taps” closed the ceremony. Charles 8. Davis, past_division commander, Sons of Union Veterans, presided. The same organizations held serv- ices at Oak Hill Cemetery an hour later. The original Memorial day or- der was read by Evelyn B. Baldwin and Mrs. Rutledge recited the Gettys- burg address. Dr. Adelbert A. Taylor delivered an address. The exercises reached the top and gathered about the mansion for the preliminary serv- ices of the day. From the Lee Mansion the route led through rows of Union dead to the tomb of the unknown soldiers of the Civil war, a great slab of granite be- neath which lie several thousands of soldiers picked up from the flelds of Virginia. Maj. Gen. John L. Clem, the “Drummer Boy of Shiloh,” and com- mander of the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R, led the marchers. Services at this tomb of the Un- known Dead were conducted under the auspices of the Woman's Relief Corps, Daughters of Veterans, Ladies of the G. A. R. and all the allied auxiliaries. Near the tomb of these unknown are the graves of Gen. “Phil” Sheri- dan and Gen. John A. Logan and hundreds of veterans and the few re- maining men of their commands paused to pay tribute to the memories of these two great leaders. Tribute to Unknown Soldier. Then the line of march wended its way between the rows of white crosses to the tomb of America’s Un- known Soldier of the World War, where patient sentinels pace to and fro keeping vigilance night and day. There on the high slope, backed by the beautiful Amphitheater, where one can look across green fields beyond the Potomac to the Nation’s Capital, a simple service was held before the slab of white marble under which this Unknown Soldier sleeps. Station WRC, Washington, hooked up with others, conveyed the words of Charles H. Relley, departmental commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, to the ears of listening thousands throughout the Eastern section of the country. The services there lasted from 12:45 o'clock, when a wreath was placed upon the tomb, until just be- fore a bugler of the United States Marine Band sounded the assembly at 1 o'clock for the exercises in the amphitheater. Slowly the ranks filed into the great enclosure as the Marlne Band played an overture. Hundreds stood throughout the long exercises, rather than miss the scene or the words of the orators. At 1:30 o'clock, when President Coolidge and his party made their appearance, Gen. Clem, master of ceremonies, called the assemblage to order. This was the signal for the presentation of the colors by John Middleton, officer of the day. The col- ors borne by Hazard Wheeler were flanked on each side by the color guard. Assemblage Pledges Allegiance. Then followed the salute to the flag and the pledge of allegiance by the entire assemblage: “I pledge al- legiance to the flag of the United States and the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”” Mrs. Ruby Smith Stahi, accompanied by the Ma- rine Band, sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” after which Rev. Dr. G. C. F. Bratenahl, dean of Washington Cathedral, delivered the invocation. Ordinarily the appearance of the President and the venerable leader of the G. A. R., Gen. Clem, would have been the signal for a mighty ovation, but the services on Memorial day are observed in reverent silence. But the silence that greeted the G. A. R. leader as he made his introductory remarks was more effective than any storm of applause. Gen. Clem instructed Dr. H. A. Johnson, assistant adjutant zeneral of the G. A. R., to read the historic order of Gen. Logan of May 5. 1865, establishing Memorial day. “If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remains in us,” was the solemn injunction contained therein. There followed a solo, “Out of the Night the Bugle Blows,” by Mrs. Ger- trude Lyons, accompanied by Marine buglers. Gettysburg Address Read. The reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg address by Dr. D. E, Green was a solemn moment during the program. A great hush fell on the vast assem- blage as the words of the immortal Lincoln appealed: “It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly ad vanced. It Is rather for us to be h dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the here highly resolve that these dead last full measure of devotion: that we shall not have died in vain Above: Sadly depleted ranks of the veterans of '61 as they marched from the G.

Below: Veterans of the World War bearing flags to the memorial services. tet struck up the inspiring notes of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The last words had hardly died away when President Coolidge arose and advanced to the front of the plat- form. The President’s address, for which tired veterans had waited long, brought the memorial services to a climax. There were two other num- bers on the program, a song, “Brave Hearts, Sleep On” by the Imperial Quartet, and the reading of an origi- nal poem, ‘“Arlington,” by John Clagett Proctor, hefore Rice W. Means, former Senator from Colorado and commander-in-chief of the United Spanish War Veterans, was introduced as the next speaker. Former Senator Means Speaks. Former Senator Means stressed the good that the friendly spirit of co- operation between the various veteran organizations has wrought in wiping out sectional lines and declared that America “wishes well to all peoples and all governments.” oday is the first time that a rep- resentative of the veterans of the Spanish War and the World War has spoken on Memorial day in_this pa- triotic shrine,” said Comdr. Means. “When the American_people heard the call of distressed Cuba. petitioning to be freed from a yoke of tyranny placed thereon by the monarchy of Spain, her young men were sent forth to battle for love of country and in de- fense of human rights. Sectionalism was wiped out in this country, and we knew no North, no South, no Fast, no West. The American people found a national conscience, for by that act the sacrifices of the men of '61 and '65 were completed and sealed. We were In fact a great Nation, a Union, one and inseparable. “Washington, the father of his country, responding to an inquiry by his friend, Lafayette, as to the for- eign policy of the United States, re- plied: ‘Our policy is a simple one. ‘We wish well to all peoples and all governments. We conceive it to be| the privilege of all peoples to have the kind of a government they believe they can live under most happily, pro- vided, that government is not a men- ace to the peace of the world nor dan- gerous to the rights of others.’ Praises Love of Country. “America_responded to the call of its Chief Executive and drove the House of Hohenzollern from the throne of Germany. All service men are akin in that they followed the same flag, offered their lives freely for the glory of their country. “Tis a of country. a myster however, that it is a feeling that lift elf out from the heart of one and entwines itself about the heart of another in the lasting embrace of friendship. But patriotism, love of country, lies deeper in the recesses of the heart than that. 'Tis trpe it slumbers in the ordinary calm of quiet days, but in an hour of emergency, when dark war clouds appear upon the horizon; when the bugle calls; when drums beat forth their sounding clamor; when the old flag, mystic magic symbol of this Nation’s life, waves forth and catches the day gleams on its radiant folds, it sweeps before it all love, all hope, all fear. It hurls men forth forgetful of themselves to hazard life itself at fearful odds. It nerves real men to do, to dare, to die. “Today some of America's sons lie buried in peaceful graves in this coun- try, some lie wrapped in the folds of the great ocean, some lie in well kept raves in France, some lie amid the of hard-fought fields, and some in those awful narrow graves where torrid hospitals lay out their dead; but wherever they mal lie, there stands forevermore, though unseen by human ey of this N: “Great memorials are erected to their memory, but my comrades gathered in every hamlet in this great country realize fully that marble and brass, however lasting it may be, is unfit to perpetuate the valor of their sacrifice. Around their lasting monu- ment shall stand an eternal guard of honor and from the deep blue of heaven’'s skies God’s stars shall keep a loving vigil to their memory.” Services Brought to Close. The address of Comdr. Means brought the memorial services near to a . As Mrs. Lyons led with “America,” the great audience arose and their voices carried far over the fields where here and there small groups paused before the graves of those who died that freedom might ring from every monntain side, to heed the swelling anthem. Then the services ended with the benediction by Rev. Dr. R. E. Mc- Bride, chaplain of the G. A. R, and the President and his party left the were presided over by Frederik A. does not require models. Fernald, commander of Cushing Post. A note of different character was struck when the Imperial Male Quar- » scene to return to the White House. From the Amphitheater, the surviv- ing G. A. R. and other veterans pro- ceeded on their way, some to linger for other services in the national cemetery, others to hurry to cemeter- ies in the city where late afternoon services were being conductd by vari- ous organizations. Another Memorial day had passed and it was with sad- dening thought that for some of the feeble men in blue, it would be the last. G. A. R. Assembles Early. As early as 9 o'clock the thin blue ranks of the G. A. R. began to assem- ble in front of Grand Army Hall on the Avenue and waited patiently under clouded skies for the bugle note that was to signal, for some of them per- haps, the last assembly. Shortly be- fore 9:30 o'clo the appointed hour, the more stalwart veterans of the Spanish and World Wars, with large numbers of disabled, had gathered at designated places about the Treasury. Aside from the G. A. R, the veteran organizations represented in the line of march were the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans of the World War, American Veterans of Hellenic Descent and Veterans of Indian W Here and there among the ranks of blue and khaki appeared a uniform of Confederate gray, for the men of Lee’s army, fewer even than those of Grant's, were eager to pay tribute to- day to former foes. Headed by Maj. Gen. Clem, depart- mental commander of the G. A. R., the ranks in blue led the :narch of veterans down the Avenue. Their step was faltering, but proudly they stralghtened their bent shoulders and swung into line along the route made famous by triumphant parades of the past. A mounted police escort clear- ed the way for the long line of march- ing veterans and the United States Marine Band and a battalion of High School Cadets constituted the escort of honor. Again the tired feet of veterans responded to the martial alr of the tife and drum as the lines advanced slowly down the Avenue and along H street to Thirteenth, thence south to B street, where special trains of the Washington-Virginia Railway Co. were in waiting to convey the veterans to Arlington. Veterans' Leaders In Parade. Capt. John Middleton was chief mar- shal of the parade.and behind him came the few score veterans of the G. A. R., with Gen.
