PRESIDENT GNORES RAIN AT ARLINGTON Peace Is Keynote of Speeches by Secretaries Dern and Swanson. | With the United States exerting all #ts efforts to promote peace and friendlier relations thrcughout the world, a deeper significance was given | to the Nation's tribute to its soldier | dead at Memorial day exercises in Ar- | lington National Cemetery, attended | yesterday by President Roosevelt and | members of his official family. ‘ The President did not make an ad- dress, but his Secretaries of War andJ Navy, Gecrge H. Dern and Claude A.| Swanson, spoke for him in dedicating | the government to the cause of peu‘e.! Unmindful of a driving rain, the| President stood with bared head as | thousands within the white marble amphitheater joined silently in & pray- | er that expressed their own hopes for lasting peace. Close by was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, its marble | slab strangely streaked with red, from the dye of rain-soaked poppies. Honor Victims of Akron. Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, the President remained throughout the | service. En route back to the White | House the party stopped on the Arling- | ton Memorial Bridge to witness another | service dedicated to the men who lost their lives aboard the dirigible Akron. ‘The President suffered no ill effects from his exposure to the rain. | Most of the seats in the Amphitheater at Arlington were empty, but about 3,000 | persons clustered under shelter of the | colonnade to hear addresses by Secre- taries Dern and Swanson. The War Secretary paid homage to the heroes who fell in past wars and added: “We are emerging from an economic holocaust which has produced & hun- dred times the hardship and sufferings that Americans endured during the World War. A glorious epic will be wr‘littetg ofl lg‘xe courage, thle fortitude an e fa of our people in these terrifying times. b “They have been good soldiers fight- ing to save our civilization. They, too, have earned our praise and confidence. Let us reward them not only with our applause but by removing the injustices that have brought on their distress. Sees Challenge in Times. “Let us, in this heroic mold, grap- ple with the problems that are before us. The times are a challenge to our patriotism. We have now intelligent, fearless leadership, Hope is overcom- ing fear. “Shall we in America, on this day dedicate ourselves to the task of ac- complishing the purposes of that leadership? It remains for you, my countrymen, by your lives and conduct, to give the answer.” Secretary Swanson compared the Akron tragedy to “other disasters which have marked all progress, in every field of human endeavor.” “The pioneering risk has always been great,” he sald, “and must continue so. Yet it is a necessary risk in the interest | of an advance otherwise impossible. Praises Men's Sacrifice. “In our sorrow over the loss of these dear comrades of the Akron, in our | deep regrets at losing their valuable services to the national defense, let us | remember their great and brave con- | tribution to humen progress, to the de- | velopment of aeronautical and naval sclence, and to the security of our country and its vital interests.” Departmsntal Comdr. John H. Shep- | herd of the Grand Army of the Re- public opened the exercises with a | brief address. He referred to former crises in Europcan and American his- | tory and said: “Today we have another great leader | on whom millicns of hearts have cen- tered their hopes of a world’s redemp- tion.” He paid a glowing tribute to the President in marshaling the forces of the country to recover itself from the depression. “That trumpet’ will never | sound retreat,” he said. Comdr. Shepherd introduced James | G. Yaden, president of the G. A. R.| Memorial Day Corporation, who pre- sided. Incorporated in this body are the varlous veterans' organizations of the District who had charge of the exercises. President Leaves Wreaths, | President Roosevelt left five wreaths | at Arlington, one of which was placed | by his military aide on the Tomb of | the Unknown Soldier. Another wreath had been sent to Mount Vernon to be Ellnoed on the tomb of George Wash- One other occurrence at Arlington | was noteworthy in its significance. A group of young people who believe that “war does not settle disputes” placed one of the first wreaths on the Tomb of | the Unknown Scidier. The Washing- ton Youth Peace Council stood through- | out the morning in half-hour Wutchesi near the tomb. Each person partici- pating in the service wore a white| bbon lettered with the single word, A spokesman for the group | ~ | said. expressed the hope that the Unknown Soldier had not died in vain to end war, “True patriotism today Tecognizes that peace is not only desirable, but critically imperative, and the only hope | of the world for the elimination of war is through international co-operation. Secretary of Commerce Daniel Roper said yesterday in & Memorial day address at the Battle Ground National Cemetery in Brightwcod. “In international relations we must shed antipathies, grudges and preju- dices,” he added, “and harmony, con- cord an’ order must be sought and found for all of the nations of the world. May these be the absorbing mo- tives of all those who are soon to as- semble in the World Economic Con- ference at London.” Secretary Roper, whose subject was «Patriotism for Today,” declared fur- ther: “Patriotism involves a vigorous in- sistance that administration of our pub- lic affairs shall be unimpeachably hon- est. economical and thoroughly effi- cient. “It includes a bold determination on the part of all to join in the work of clearing from our national life such viclous, malign growths as crime and racketeering end _the banishment from our midst of ugliness and shabbiness, including the sweat-shop and the slum.” “Assembly” was sounded at 3:15 p.m.. followed by the raising of the flag and salute to the colors, led by Maj. John Deavy. The “Orders of the Grand Army of the Republic” were read by Dr. C. V. Petteys, a_survivor of the 6th Army Corps at the battle of Fort Stevens in 1864. John Clagett Proctor, vice chair- man of the committee, introduced John M. Kline, sr., senior vice commander, Department of the Patomac, G. A. R, Who presided. The graves were decorated by the children from the public schools in the | vicinity of the cemetery, under the direction of Mrs. Angus Lamond, jr. The exercises were held jeintly, under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republiz and the Brightwood Citizens’ Association. Gecorgetown Rites Held. Exercises honcring the memory of more than a score of Georgetown law | students, who sacrificed their lives dur- ing the World War, were held yesterday morning at the school, under the aus- pices of the two senior clisses. A guard of ex-service men placed a wreath be- | fore the memorial tablet in the law library which bears the names of the former students who died in service. Brig. Gen. Gecrge Richards, U. 8. M. C.. the principal speaker, declared that “in our history there has never been reason for suspicion of danger to Amer- jcan liberty in the organization of our forces for national defense.” “It is the politiclan who plots,” he “It is the demagogue who roars. And it is the statesman who plunges our country into blunders from which war sometimes has resulted.” Gen. Richards scored the tendency of some teachers of history to “deprecate the national spirit of America with too much talk of internationalism.” Dean George E. Hamilton and Rev. Francis E. Lucey, S. J., regent of the Law School, paid tributes to George- town’s war dead. With some of George- town's earliest faculty members having served in the Revolutionary Army, Dean Hamilton said the university has sent its sons to engage in every war in which the United States has partici- pated. There were addresses on behalf of the student body by James A. Rowes and John W. Adler. The guard of ex- service men consisted of Lieut. Paul Wyatt Caraway, who is in the Regular Army, and Lieuts. Francis Diskon, Sherry Basil Myers and John Meredith Leal, Reserve officers.

A spirit of good will toward the vet- erans can only be held through an equally fair spirit on the part of the veterans themselves, Representative | Einar Hoidale of Minnesota declared yesterday afternoon in a radio address | over the National Broadcasting Co. | “I have no doubt,” he said, “as to the | fair attitude of the rank and file of the | soldiers, but there is danger that a number of individuals and smaller groups claiming to speak for the vet- | erans will prejudice public sentiment not only against themselves but against | those as well who are free from blame. This is something that should be guard- ed against not only in the interest of | the soldiers, but in the interest of the country as a whole.” Irish-Americans Meet. Following their annual custom, the Irish-American Union of Washington decorated graves of deceased members at Mount Olivet last Sunday and also the grave of Thomas Devin Reilly, one of the outstanding figures in the Young Ireland movement for Irish indepen- dence in 1848. Reilly came to this country shortly | after that struggle and for some years | was connected with the Interior De- partment in Washington. | Another grave decorated was that of Miss Sabina Davitt, sister of the late Michael Davitt, founder of the Irish Land League. An American flag also was placed on the grave of James Ho- ban, who was the architect of the| White House and superintended its | rebuilding after it was burned by the British in 1814.

J., May 31.—Sev- eral thousand persons stood in the rain yesterday at memorial services to the men of the Akron and the J-3 who lost their lives in the crash of these airships on April 4. More than a score of widows of the\ disaster and their children were gath- | ered on the pavilion along the ocean | front where the services were held. The spot is but a short distance from me| scene where the J-3, small Navy blimp, ‘ crashed during its search for the lost Akron. Cancel Flight Plans. . ‘The rain and fog caused cancellation | of a plan to load flowers on Naval air- ‘K planes and fly 20 miles to sea off Barne- | gat Light, where the giant Navy dirig- | ible was destroyed, and there scatter the flowers on the water. | Instead the flowers were loaded aboard two Coast Guard ships, which were convoyed by two other Coast Guard vessels, and carried to the Ak: ron's grave. In the shore exercises a firing squad‘ of 10 men from the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst fired three volleys and a | bugler sounded taps. As the last bugle call was sounded, men stationed at ev- ery flag pole in the town, raised the| flags, which had been at half mast, to | the top. Bomber Flies Over. At mid-afternoon when the rain | stopped, a Navy bomber piloted by Lieut. Thomas Harrigan, flew here, dipped low over the town and, in pass- ing over the J-3's accident scene, dropped floral wreaths. The plane then returned to the air station. The Rev. W. A. McGuire, chaplain of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, was in charge of the services. Ministers of three denominations participated. ———e ducted a Memorial day service and strewed flowers on the plat dedicated to the “Veterans of All Wars.” Serv- ces were held in the chapel. Past Department Comdr. R. J. F. MCcEIlroy read Gen. Logan's order estab- lishing Memorial day and the closing words of Lincoln's Gettysburg address Capt. H. Turner Lewis gave a prayer and Capt. C. O. Howard made an ad- dress. Horace J. Phelps led the audi- ence in reciting “The American’s Creed.” Music from the chapel organ accompanied the ceremony, which was | in charge of Lewis G.

C, May 31—Two colored men, arrested in Calhoun Falls last night as suspects in the slaying of Miss Thelma Martin of Spartanburg, and the wounding of her escort, Madi- son Stone, were lodged in the Abbeville County Jail today for safekeeping after a threat to lynch them had been re- | ported made in Calhoun Falls. The prisoners, whose names were quest of George Calhoun Falls police chief, who said striking em- | ployes of the Calhoun mills had made threats of violence against the pair. Fishermen “Catch” Auto. Pishermen in a trawler off the coast of Grimsby, England, recently landed an automobile which had been caught in their net. They lifted it to the deck | and took it to Grimsby. It is believed | to be part of a cargo torpedoed during the World War. Mines are often brought up in nets, but they are harmless and are thrown back into the water. The Island of San Michele, in a Venetian lagoon, is used as a ceme- tery—a pink and white city of the dead —surrounded by walls whose somber cypresses make a green spot above the withheld, were brought here at the re- quiet waters.
