JOHNSON DEFENDS NAVAL OFFICERS Declares They “Dared to Tell Truth” and Were “True to Highest Traditions.” By the Associated Press. A staunch defense of the high rank- ing naval officers, who criticized the London Treaty before Senate com- mittees was embodied in a statement issued for publication today by Senator Johnson. Republican, California. “The Californian, himself an oppanent of the pact, sald the officers had “dared to tell the truth,” had been “true to the highest traditions of the American Navy” and "deserve from all Americans only commendation and praise.” He took upon himse'f the responsibi- lity for cslling most of them before the Senate foreign relations committee and said they testified as witnesses in court. stating “the essentials of our national defense and the needs of the Navy.” Takes Newspapers to Task. He took to task “some newspapers” for “brutally” assaulting these officers “because their testimony * * * has militated against the London Treaty. These assaults, he termed “unjusti- fled and outrageous.” “The foreign relations committee it- self called the general board of the Navy before it and asked the views of these officers,” the Senator continued. “The others who have testified came because I summoned them and a! testified just in court, not as voluntoers, but as wit- nesses duly called. The responsibility for calling most of those who have ap- peared rests entirely with me, and the witnesses thus called had no option in the matter. * * ¢ True to Highest Traditions. “The sum of their offending is stat- ng, as required by Senators interrogat- ing them, the essentials of our national defense and the needs of our Navy. If they had stated the facts otherwise than as they and nearly all others fa- miliar with the subject believe, they ‘would have the commendation and en- thusiastic applause of the very people and press who now abuse them. They have been true to the highest traditions of the American Navy and deserve from all Americans only commendation and praise.” . Committee hearings on the treaty are now concluded, and the next step will be a vote by the foreign relations com- mittee, which sponsors of the pact are certain will be one of overwhelming approval. Senator Oddie, Republican, Nevada, & member of the naval committee, an- nounced late yesterday he will propose Teservi when the pact comes be- fore the Senate. i DETERMINED TO DIE Man Ends Life After Two Unsuc- cessful Attempts.

When the active campaign for funds with which to erect the memorial was terminated in May, 1927, an amount approximately $20.000 short of the established goal had been subscribed through pledges largely payable over a period of three years. Net funds as paid in are now in the hands of the treasurer of the commission, deposited in_one of the principal banks of the District, and amount, with the interest earned in the { intervening period to approximately $135000 today.

Campaign to Start Soon. “In the interval which has elapsed since the date when that generous and patriotic assurance was given, various factors in the local labor conditions have, in the opinion of our local labor leaders, rendered it inadvisable to con- duct the campaign necessary to fulfill the assurance given. Yet there has been a full and frank recognition of the obligation involved, and a hearty dis- position to undertake the ca the first favorzb'e occesio: to be advised tuat that occasion has now occurred and that the campaign of the Central Labor Union will start in the immediate future, and be pusheq to a swift and, I am sure, entirely suc- cessful conclusion. “The minimum sum which remains to be raised is $20,000. Any ‘Washing- tonian who has not as yet contributed to the fund or who, having contributed, now desires to increase his subscription is cordially urged to do so through Mr, John Poole, Federal-American National Bank, the treasurer of the commission. “With the Central Labor Union in- spired by today’s timely and unqualified n. 1am happy still unpaid, are expected to swell this | tral Labor Union, that organized labor | mpaign at, THE EVENINC BRIGHTWOOD HONORS WAR DEAD Residents Combine Residents of Brightwood and the Grand Army of the Republic today pre- | resting in the old Battle Ground Na- tional Cemetery.

WAR MOTHERS JOIN CEREMONIES Visit Graves of American Sol- | diers in Cemeteries Through- out France. e | By the Assoctated Press. PARIS, May 30.—American gold star mothers in Prance for visits to the | graves of sons who died in the World | War gave an impressive background to- | day for the most extensive observance | of Memorial day yet held abroad. | .~ Troops fired volleys in salute of the |dead at the American cemeteries throughout France. Taps were sounded, | | and dignitaries spoke. But the feature cf the day were the trips before and | afier the ceremonies by the war mothers | to the graves of those they lost mere | than 11 years ago. | _ At Suresnes Cemetery, outside of Paris, Ambassador Edge made the principal address, referring to them as those «“who had given thcse who were dearest to them that others might live in the full enjoyment of thewr liberty.” “You mothers instilled into these young men the principles for which they laid down their lives,” he said. “You taught them the fundamentals of loyalty, courage, truth and vision. You with the fortitude which mothers throughout the ages have mustered, held your heads high as you bade them good-by.” Refers to Naval Treaty. The Ambassacor referred to the naval agreement rcached recently at London with the words: “Our Government has recently en- gaged with France, Great Britain, Italy and Jepan in a serious effort to curtail naval armaments, and had distinctly succeeded. This is a long step forward which will undoubtedly b2 completed in years to come by further efforts, pro- portionately as the forces of aggression and destruction are eliminated and the Jaw of the bayonet is replaced by the rule of international comity and co- operation.” “Let us look upon the myriads of crosses,” he concluded, ‘“and realize with poignant emotion the magnitude of our responsibility. We seem to see the heroes of Chateau Thierry, Belleau Wood, Thiaucourt, St. Mihiel and the Argonne pointing forward, forward; we seem to hear the great chorus of their volces calling to us to carry on until mankind breaks through the shadows and eternal peace dwells on earth.” Services in Cathedral. ‘The identical service held on Memo- rial day, 1918, when the enemy was hammering at the gates of Paris, was held at 10:30 at the American Pro-: cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Dean the Very Rev.

ADMONISHES LIVING 10 UPHOLD IDEALS Representative Hall Speaks to Spanish-American War Veterans. “We, the living, must keep faith with the dead. The enemies of our Gov- ernment, within and without, must be met with the same resolute spirit as in the past,” Representative Albert R. Hall of Indiana declared today in the principal address at memorial services held at Congressional Cemetery under the auspices of Gen. Henry W. Lawton Camp, United Spanish War Veterans. Representative Hall declared: “The Government is charged with defending the Nation. For this purpose we equip our Army and Navy; we fill the air with lanes; we train our young men in war- are. These things are done, yet with a prayer that the sword shall never be unsheathed. These things are neces- sary, but in a larger way the stronger defense rests not on armaments, but on patriotic devotion of the citizens.” George J. McDermott, commander of Gen. Lawton Camp, headed a commit- tee in charge of the Congressiona Cemetery services. Serving with him were Dr. Edward C. Barstow, past camp commander; Assistant Leader Charles Wise, U. S. Navy Band: Rev. Edward Gabeler, rector, Christ Episcopal Church, d L. S. Taylor, superintendent of Con- gressional Cemetery. Participants in the service gathered at the cemetery at 10 o’clock this morn- ing. A color guard presented the colors and the oath of allegiance to the United States was repeated. _The_ invocation was asked by Rev. Dr. Gabeler. A short talk was made by Mr. McDermott, followed by the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by the Navy Band.
