The unparallcled work of the soldier in helping to preserve his country and helping to make the United States the great Nation it is today, and more par- ticularly the part played by the Unilon soldiers in helping to preserve the Na- tion, was stressed by former Repre- sentative W, E. Andiews of Nebraska at impressive Memorial day exercises in the pavillion near the tomb of Gen. Iogan in the Soldiers’ Home grounds yesterday. After indicating the many hardships the soldiers underwent during the con- flict between the North and South and the great bravery displayed, Mr. An- drews touched briefly on a definition of “courage,” both on and off the field of battle. With affectionate reference 0 both the Blue and Gray, he declared that the courage shown by the people of the South in rebuilding their homes and carrying on after the Civil Wi and also the courage shown by the Union soldiers and their families in building up the West, was greater than the courage displayed on the field of battle. The speaker delivered a eulogy on Gen. Logan, telling of his many sterling traits as a man and soldler. ‘The services, which were under direc- tion of F. J. Young, senior vice com- mander of the Department of the Poto- mac of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic, and Beck Circle, No. 4, were opened with “assembly” by the bugler of Sol- | diers’ Home, followed with the rendition of “Nearer, My God, to Thee"” by the ! Soldiers’ Home Band. The presentation of colors was under direction of H. W. Rutledge. The large audience attend- ing joined in reciting the “Pledge to the Flag.” ‘The remainder of ‘the program in- cluded the reading of the order establishing Memorial day by Mrs, Edith Bugbee, a poem by R.
