The principal ad- dresses of the afternoon were deliv- ered' by Mayor George A. Quigley | and Postmaster William 1. Delaney ! both of whom extolled the bravery of the Civil war and the Spanish war veterans, as well as the youth that is fighting today, and in conclusion warned the people to he prepared to make even more sacrifices that the German hordes may be forever crushed. Some Old Soldiers Walk. Although most of the Civil war vet- erans were content to ride in auto- mobiles in the parade, there were a few whose vouthful enthusiasm and spirit has not been dulled by e vears and they insisted on walking. Heading the parade was Past Depart- ment Commander Frederick e Streeter, marshal of the day. Abrem Howell, an aide, also walked as did Commander Spencer H. Wood. But of all the old soldiers, probably the one who was the happiest and who at the same time attracted the most attenion was the venerable Charl May. Alhough his muscles ~were wearied and his breath was short, the old soldier marched throughout the entire parade proudly carrying the Stars and Stripes, flanked on either side by the color guard, Fred Ten- derson and J. Presto The Spanish war veterans, some in uniform, : marched. Sergeant William Rice ¢ ried the colors and their color guard was Captain M. Leonard and Leo E. Morin of Plainville. Morin peared in the uniform of an Ameri- can soldier, being a former member of Company I of this city. He wvas accidentally shot in the leg while that command was at Norwich and he was given a medical discharge from the service.

As Mayor Quigley rose to addre, the assemblage, Mrs. Cora Hunn dy, president of the Stanley Woman’s Relief Corps, stepped pr 2d the mavor with a wreath, asking that he accept it in behalf of the city token of memorial for the 16 New Britain boys who have already died in the present great war. The moment wasnot without its dra- matic feature and there was emotion in his voice as Mayor Quigley replied “On behalf of the citzens of Ne Britain, and on hehalf of the moth- ers and fathers of New Britain boys who have_ given their lives in this war, T ept this beautiful wreath The mayor then delivered his addr part of which follows: “We are gathered here today, a: I know the veterans of the Civil war will not take it amiss w to do honor not only to those vete of '61 and and 9 but also to honor the boys of 1918 who are now giving their lives on the western front in France. “This is no time for idle boasting. We Americans should nor think that because we have won victories in past wars that we are going to win easily in the present war. This is a time for united action. Do vou reali that France has lost 2 900,000 men thus which is one-fifth of the population of that country, and if the United States gives an equal pro- portion, it means that 3,600 Britain boyvs, one fifth of our popu- lation, will never return. Are von prepared to make the sacrifice? I think you are. I think the fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and sweet- hearts of those brave boys fighting on the western front would gladly make the sacrifice if need he. Those boys are fighting for you and for me and our sisters and daughters, that the honor, innocence and virtue of those women may ever be preserved. “Those hoys are out to redeem England, France, Russla, Belgium and Serbia. Do you know that in those countries, the people are waif- ing and waiting for the United States to throw her forces into the brea against the Hun? They need us and our hoys are willing to make the sac- rifice. Let none ever talk peace un- less that peace is to be made in the ruins of Berlin.” I want peace. Every- one wants peace, but let there be no peace until the Hun is crushed, once and for all, as a power for good or evil. Let us make the sacrifice. Let us bury 3,600 boys from this city it need be. Let every other house in the city bear crepe, but let there be mno peace until the Hun is crushed.” Postmaster Delaney Speaks. In his talk, Postmaster Delaney follows: “Thig is Memonial Day,” “We honor and revere our dead every day in the year, May 30, we gather to make public profession of the love we bear for their memory. There has never been a Memorial Day like this, at least not within the memory of the late gener- ations. As we gather here to pay tribute to the memory of the brave men who fought and died for the liberty of this country, all nations seem mad. Citles are destroyed, neople are ravaged, civilization ap- pears to be tottering in the balance, and all that stands between the world and chaos is the humanity, travery and patriotism of the Amer- ican boys. For you veterans, today not be one of sorrow, of grieving, but rather a day of rejoicing. Let me wipe from your eves the mist of years. You recall the rumors of war some fifty-seven years ago. You were then strong, vigorous boys of eighteen, nineteen, twenty. There was a light in your eves, a color in your cheeks. There were no gray halrs, no wrinkles. Sumpter was fired on and then came the call for volun- teers. You talked to your chum and decided to enlist. Your chest swelled with patriotism. You longed to fight for the Union. Then, breaking the news at home. Father was proud of his boy, glad to see that he had the right pirit. But mother, that was the hard part She hated to part with you. She feared for your safety; but finally, proudly, generously, she gave her boy to her country. Then, the marching away, the troop train, the camps, the drilling, the long marches. Finally, the call to arms, the leap into the hell of battle. Then, the accounting. Brother, chum, dear friend—gone. Then, more long marches, mare hard fighting, another call, and back into the fight. Finally, victory came. You had fought and won one of the greatest fights that has ever been written into the pages of history. Tloquent tongues have since told of it.
