A—2 " ww oz e S i FLOWERS INDICATE HONOR T0 DEAD Arlington Today Blanketed With Tributes to Valor of Warriors. Arlington’s white-flecked blanket of | green, with its special embroidery of | gorgeous pastel tints supplied by a pro- fusion of blooms, bore mute testimony | today to the fact that a grateful nation does not forget. the valor of its sons. Another Memorial day. passing into history, has left indisputable evidence, | tangible and intangible, that a work-a- | day world ever is ready to pause in its busy routine to do honor to the great ! and the humble who have sacrified all | for their country. While the holiday spirit yet pre- | vailed in the Capital today, it was a| spirit in marked contrast to that which pervaded the tity vesterday. Its duty to the dead performed, Washington turned light-heartedly today to cur- tailed business affairs or to week-end recreation. All Federal offices remained closed by executive order, affording Government employes a welcome day in the open. l Service Climaxes Day. ] A program of inspired oratory, stir- ring music and impressive rites at the Arlington Amphitheater brought to a | colorful _climax the commemorative services held throughout the city yes- terday. While President Hoover led the Na- tion in & new measure of devotion at the scene of Lincoln’s Gettysburg ad- dress, veterans of various wars, led by the Grand Army of the Republic, laid floral offerings on the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier and conducted notable ceremonies at the Arlington shrine. Sergt. Edward S. Younger, Chicago mail clerk, re-enacted at the Unknown'’s Tomb the historic duty he performed at Chalans-Sur-Marne nine years ago, when he dropped a wreath of roses on one of & row of four caskets and desig- nated the body which was to become America’s unidentified warrior. Tells of Selection, Describing the momentous scene over the radio last night, Sergt. Younger said: “The ghostly interior of the chapel affected me strangely, and I think I was about as badly scared as anyone who ever went to France. I wanted to back out, then, although I fully appreciated the honor that had been conferred upon me. “T slowly walked around the caskets and then some queer intution made me the roses on the second casket from the right end. I saluted and executed an about-face. The unknown choice had been made.” In a vigorous address in the amphi- theater Representative Gibson of Ver- mont called on the soldiers of yester- day and the citizens of today to mar- shal themselves against peace-time foes of their country. Gibson Hits Crimes. “We are to face the jnevitable issue as to law observance,” Mr. Gibson de- clared. “Our record for homicides and other serious erimes is'a reproach to our civilization. We are, in fact, com- bating an army of criminals greater in number than composed the Union Army at Gettysburg. Human life and property rights have come to be lightly Tegarded.: The criminal is levying an annual tribute of billions of dollars on the legitimate business of our people. ‘We are facing the supreme test, whether law and order, the very foundation of liberty, shall prevail. ““The call to every citizen today is to ‘enlist, enlist again“under the banner of #reedom in defense of the Costitution.’; Dr. Thomas E. Green of Ameri= ‘an Red Cross analyzed American wars and found that each was fought for a high principle. Addressing the amphi- theater crowds, Dr. Green pointed out that the Revolution vindicated the prin- ciple of our forefathers that “all men are created equal,” the Mexican War extended these rights to fellow citizens on the Rio Grande, the Civil War struck a death blow at himan slavery, the Spanish-American War aided a neighbor to maintain American ideals %!c'il’bgny a.?d fl?: z«n}d War was a rious struggle iberty agatnst despotism. ilitary Mothers Attend. Joining the groups of veterans at the ‘Tomb of the Unk;\”m Soldier was a delegation of Gold Star Mothers, head- ed by Mrs. George Gordon Seibold, na- tional president of the organization. Mrs. Sarah J. Paine, 87 years old, of Chicago also pressed her way forward and placed a wreath in memory of her husband, a veteran of the Civil War. The American Women's Legion held services at the Argonne Cross in Ar- lington. A wreath sent by Mrs. Herbert Hoover was laid at the cross by Mrs. Acheson F. Hassan, national president ©f the Legion. Memorial services will be held tomor- Tow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the He- brew Cemetery, Anacostia, under aus- ices of the Vincent B. Costello Post of American Legion.

Hoover’s Gettysburg Address Recalling Lonely Figure of Lincoln, President Pleads for Increased Spiritual Unity Among States. The full text of the President’s ad- dress at Gettysburg yesterday follows: We stand today amidst monuments to the valor and glory of a generation of Americans, North and South, now well-night gone. Most of those who bore the burdens of the Civil War have joined their comrades who sleep be- neath these mounds. Of a thousand | brigades which marched in that great conflict, scarce a score remain. To the dead we pay again our tribute of gratitude and devotion. To the liv- ing we extend heartfelt wishes for a continuation of peaceful years, serene in contemplation of their glorious youth. The time must come all too soon when these living ties of our generation with the historic past will have passed on. ‘Then we shall have only cherished memories to remind us of those men who heroically died and those women who bravely suffered for great ideals, or who lived on to consummate the reunion of our country, to give stability to its Government and peace to its people, Recalls Lonely Figure. Every American's thought of this | great battlefield of Gettysburg flashes with the instant vision of the lonely figure of Lincoln, whose immortal words dominate this scene.” No monument | has been or can be erected here <o noble and enduring as that simple ad- dress-which has become a part of this place. Greater than the tribute of granite or bronze remains that mem- orable message to the American peo- ple. That appeal for the unity of our people and the perpetuation of the fundamentals of our democracy is as vital today in our national thinking as it was when Lincoln spoke. Behind him were the 70 years of national e perience that had passed between him. self and Washington. His words from their span of the past rang with cour- age and assurance for the future. ‘Though no President has been so beset, though no time in our history has been so dark, though never have strong men been so affected with doubt, yet in the midst of all that turmoil he found strength to lift his head above the clouds and proclaim that vision which the passing years have so fully con- firmed. Today nearly 70 years have passed since Lincoln spoke. Ours is a new day and ours new problems of the Republic. There are times when these problems loom ominous and their solution dif- ficult. Yet great as our difficulties may sometimes seem, we would be of little courage if in our concerns we had less of faith than Lincoln had in his far greater task: - Lincoln's counsels sounded strangely when spoken in the midst of war, His was the call of moderation. Our history would be even brighter than it is if his predecessors and his cotemporaries had spoken as temperately as he, if LheY had been moved by charity toward all, by malice toward none. We shall be wise to ponder here what precious wealth of human life might have been preserved, what rivers of tears might never have flowed, what anguish of souls need never have been, what spiritual division of our people might have been avoided, if only our leadership had always been tempered by the moderation and calm vision of Lin- coln. Since his day reason has not al- ways ruled instead of passion, knowl- edge has not always been sought instead of reliance upon improvised conjecture, Patience has not.ever, delayed the im petuous feet of reckless ambition, quiet negotiation has not always replaced the clamor of the hustings, prudent common counsel has not invariably overcome the allurements of demogogic folly, good will has not always won the day over cyni- cism and vainglory. Spiritual Unity Resulting. Yet the ideals which he Inspired have served to mold our national life and have brought in time great spiritual unity. His words have poured their blessings of restraint and inspiration upon each new generation. In the weaving of our destiny the pattern may change, yet the woof and warp of our weaving must be those in- spired ideals of unity, or ordered lib- erty, of equality of opportunity, of pop- ular government and of peace to which this Nation was dedicated. Whatever the terms may be in which we enun- clate these great ideals, whatever the new conditions to which we apply them, they must be held eternally valid. The common striving for these ideals, our common heritage as Americans and the infinite web of national sentiment— these are the things that have made us a great Nation, that have created a solidarity in a great people unparalleled in all human history. ‘The weaving of freedom is and always will be a struggle of law against law- lessness, of individual liberty against domination, of unity against section- alism, of truth and honesty against demagoguery and misleading, of peace against fear and conflict. In the form- ing of this pattern the abuse of poli- tics often muddies the stream of con- structive thought and dams back the flow of well considered action. New Lamps to Guide Nation. In the solution of the problems of our times we have some new lamps to guide us. The light of science has re- vealed to us a new understanding of forces and a myriad of instruments of physical ease and comfort to add to thé joy of life. The growth of com- munications, of education, of the press, have made possible a new unity of thought and purpose. But the light that guides our souls remains the same as that whereby our fathers were led. It is the store of knowledge, the great inspirations of men'’s souls, the ideals which they carry forward that have lifted the Nation to ever greater heights. Union has become not merely a physical union of States, but rather is a spiritual union in common ideals of our people. Within 1t is room for every variety of opinion, every possibility of experiment in social progress. Out of such variety comes growth, but only if we preserve and maintain our spiritual solidarity. The things of the spirit alone persist It is in that field that the Nation makes its lasting progress, To cherish re- ligious faith and the tolerance of all faiths; to reflect into every aspect of public life the spirit of charity, the practice of forbearance and the re- straint of passion while reason seeks the way; to lay aside blind prejudice and follow knowledge together; to pur- sue diligently the common welfare and find within its boundaries our private benefit; to enlarge the borders of op- portunity for all and find our own within them; to enhance the greatness of the Nation and thereby find for ourselves an individual distinction; to face with courage and confident expec- tation the task set before us, these are the paths of true glory for this Nation. They will lead us to a life more abound- ing, richer in satisfactions, more endur- ing in its achievements, more precious in its bequests to our children —a life not merely of conflict but filled with the Joy of creative action, LIEUT. COL. 0’HARA DIES OF PNEUMONIA Cavalry Officer Succumbs to Four- Day Attack at Walter Reed. Lieut. Col. Joseph J. O‘Hara, United States Cavalry, on duty in the office of the chief of cavalry as personnel of- ficer, died n Walter Reed Hosptal last night after an illness of four days. Death was due to pneumonia. Col. O’'Hara, who was 47 years old, was & native of New York; was ap- pointed to the United States Military Academy from California, and was graduated in the class of 1904. He also was a graduate of the Cavalry School and the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. He resided at 3719 Reservoir road. Col. O’'Hara had been stationed in this city about three years. He was on duty overseas during the World War.

HOOVER OUT EARLY TO WHIP STREAMS NEAR COOKE CAMP ' (Continued From First Page.) nection he declared —that the inspired ideals of umity, or ordered liberty, of equality of opportunity, of popular gov- ernment and of peace, as espoused by principles which have ~made the United States a great nation. In enunciating this, Mr. Hoover stated that the common striving for these ideals, which, referred to as “our com- mon heritage” and the infinite web of national sentiment, are the things which have made this country great | and have created a solidarity in a great people unparalleled in all human | history. Recalling that nearly 70 years had mortal principles in since been accepted as gems among that every American’s thought of the Gettysburg Battlefield was naturally assoclated with the thought of Lincoln, “whose words dominate this scene.” In further emphasizing the ideals of Lincoln, Mr. Hoover stated that wear- ing of the is and always will be a strug- gle of law against lawlessness of in- dividual liberty against domination, of unity against sectionalism, of truth and honesty against demagogery and mis- leading, of peace against fear and con- flict, “And,” he continued, “in forming muddles the stream of constructive thought and jams back the flow of well-considered action.” The declaration made by the Presi- dent to the effect that since the day of Abraham Lincoln reason has not | always ruled instead of passion was ac- | cepted by many who know the Presi- dent well as indicating very clearly his { own ideas of leadership; that national problems should be settled in an or- derly fashion after calm reflection and reasoning and not in heat and haste.

Those who have heard the President speak. frequently were impressed nearly as much with the manner in which he delivered this as the words and address timents he- uttered. He spoke more :f;'wlgm usual. - He spoke mors | Lincoln, have been the very ideals and | passed since Lincoln uttered his im- | hrases which have | this pattern the abuse of politics often | c‘IEIrly and resorted to greater expres- slon. The motor ride from Washington to Gettysburg was made at an exception- ally high rate of ‘The President’s car averaged more n 40 miles an hour for the entire distance, and at in- tervals went at a greater rate of speed. A stop of an hour was made en routs at the fishing camp of Lawrence Richey, one of his secretaries, at Catoctin Furnace, about 12 miles beyond Freder- ick, Md. During that period the party indulged in a light lunch. On the way to the speaker's rostrum in 'the cemetery, the long line of auto- mobiles stopped beside the graves of the unidentified dead and looked on while several hundred small school chil- dren, attired in white, dropped flowers upon the graves. When lhfl impressive little drama was ended the President, accompanied by Gov. Fisher, walked to the monument marking ‘the spot upon which stood the tall figure of Abraham Lincoln when he made his address and placed a wreath at the base. In introducing the President, Gov. Fisher ssid that it was highly fitting that upon Memorial day, when the thoughts of the people were turned to patriotic ideals, that the President should lead the Nation in paying tribute to the defenders of the Nation by com- ing to Gettysburg to make an address. He said that the President had come in pursuance of a well established cus- tom established by his predecessors in office. After the ceremonies at the National Cemetery, Gov. Fisher remained in the President’s week end party. Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania, former Am- bassador to Rome, also joined the party at Gettysburg, but he did not make the trip to the fishing camp. ‘The others who were in the party at Gettysburg were Secretary of War Hurley, Secre- taries Newton, Richey, Akerson and Strother, Mrs, Newton, Mrs. Akerson and Mrs, Strother, Coi. Hodges and Capt. Buchanan, the President’s mili- tary and naval aides, respectively, and Capt. Joel T. Boone, White House ph sician, Besides Gov. Fisher, only Sec- retary Hurley and Secretary Richey, and Capt. Boone continued on to Mr. Cooke's camp. The others returned to Washing- ton after the ceremonies. | [J DILL GIVES TALK AT BATTLE GROUND Says U. S. Should Keep Out of European Wars, in Me- morial Service. ‘The presence of the Gold Star Mothers in the cemeteries of France emphasizes the point that the United States should stay out of European Leagues and Euro- pean Courts, Senator Dill, Democrat, of ‘Washington, told an audience at the Memorial day exercises, held yesterday at the old Battle Ground National Cemetery. “The Gold Star Mothers ought to impress upon us that never again do we want to participate in an European War,” the Senator asserted, and was applauded well by the audience for his statement. i Speaking over the graves of the Civil War heroes, the Washington Senator said that had the secession of the Southern States stood, the area now represented by the United States would be not two separate nations, but 15 or 20, for every time ome division had a grievance, it would be subdivided into other groups. In saving the Union, the soldiers of the Civil War saved the country from being divided into several countries, he asserted. “Died for Civilizatio It is not sufficient to pay tribute to the Civil War heroes, Senator Dill re- minded his hearers, for it must be remembered that they died so that “we might develop civilization on the prin- ciples for which they stdod” in order that the course of peace might be pre- served. The colored people must be given opportunity for development, he asserted. Help to the oppressed must be extended. “If we would be worthy of these men of the Civil War we must help those at the bottom of the social structure,” Senator Dill said. ‘The Grand Army of the Republic and Brightwood residents joined in the cele- bration, which began at 3:15 o'clock. “Assembly,” sounded by a bugler from the 3d United States Cavalry, started the exercises and Capt. Herbert Turner directed the flag raising and saluting. Following the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by the assembly, R. J. F. McElroy read the “Orders of the Grand Army of the Republic.” Dr. Johnson Chairman. John Clagett Proctor, vice chairman of the Memorial day committee, intro- duced Dr. Henry A.

Owen Penny, Civil War vet- eran, rendered a solo. ~ Lincoln’s famed Gettysburg Address was recited by Talbot O. Pulizzi and the Battle Ground Quartet rendered “The Recessional.” Following Senator Dill's address, two selections were ren- dered by the band and then the school children, under the direction of Mrs. Angus Lamond, jr., distributed flowers on the graves, JEWISH SOLDIERS T0 BE REMEMBERED Gen.

GRAF IS MOORED AT LAKEHURST AS TRIP IS COMPLETED (Continued From First Page.) world last year, once. On this flight it has come from Germany to Spain, across Africa and the South Atlantic to Pernambuco and down to Rio Janeiro and up to Lakehurst. ‘The small dirigible, which is called the Vigilant and comes from Akron, Ohio, was expected to arrive today, though it was not believed its app ance would coincide so closely with the Graf’s. But no one expected to see the Los Angeles, for it had left the hangar early this morning to go to Anacostia to take part in the Curtiss Trophy races there. Naval officials here expressed complete mystification as to why the German-built American dirigible had changed its plans to escort its big sister to_the air station. It was the second morning arrival of the Graf at Lakehurst, upon every other occasion it having come in at sundown or later and the few visitors were treated to a sight of rare beauty. The sun was just dispelling the night mist as the Graf and her smaller com- panions stuck their noses through the haze. The ships seemed as gray as the mist itself until, coming in nearer from the South and East, the sun etched them in radiance. As they came over the field sunshine fell flatly on their silvery flanks and they shone like armored knights of the air. After the Graf was In the hangar and the passengers were through with customs examinations, Dr. Eckener went to the press room in the hangar and the passengers to the Welfare Building to await the special train to carry them to New York. As Dr. Eckener arrived in the press room reporters were asked to make their questions as brief as possible, be- cause' the air navigator was very tired. He seemed more fatigued this time than on any of his other arrivals, sinking into a chair and speaking for the it part through an interpreter. : Will Head for Seville. ‘The Graf will head for Seville, Spain, when it leaves America Monday and will proceed from there to Friedrich- shafen.

He added: “Let us hope that the doubters will see a light and help the Navy complete its two 6,500,000-cubic- foot airships and the proposed base for them on the Pacific Coast, so that our country will take its rightful place in this new fleld of transportation.” e Bandits Rob Bank.

They will cross the line for a flying start, the timing starting as each plane crosses the starting line. A period of 10 mintues is allowed in which all planes must start, this being divided into five periods of two minutes each for the various types of planes. The finishing time of each plane will be taken as it crosses the line after com- pleting five laps of the course, Capt. Page Strong Contender. ‘The Curtiss trophy will go to the pilot of the plane completing the five llp‘: in the shortest elapsed time. This makes {1t almost certain that one of the fight= ing planes types will be the winner. Capt. Arthur Page, U. S. M. C., one of the best navigators d “blind flight” pilots in the Marine Corps, is regarded as one of the strongest contenders for the prize. He will fly a Curtiss Hawk single eater powered by a water-cooled engine, 1l the other fighters, to be flown by some of the foremost Navy pilots, are to be powered with air-cooled engines, All special equipment has been ruled out. Every plane entered in the race, re- gurdlm of type, will be on an equal ooting in the competition for the Ine galls Trophy, donated by David S.
