W. F. Cook and Rev. J. L. Sullivan Delivere Memorial Addresses at Walnut Hll Park— Clergymen Assail Men Memarial exercises of a most im- pressive nature were carried out in Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon when the soldiers, sailors and marines of the city, together with relatives and friends, gathered to pay a tribute to those who went out to the great war and will never return. The occa- sian was also the dedicating of the memorial arch and court of honor. The Philharmonic band played, the New Britain Choral society sang, Fred Latham sang ‘“Lest We Forget,” the buglers sounded taps and appropriate addresses were given by Rev. Warren F. Cook and Rev. J. L. Sullivan. The service men gathered at the state armory and marched to the park, the band playing a funeral dirge and the marchers passing the memorial posts with bared heads. Mayor G. A. Quigley was the first speaker and touched with feeling upon the valor of New Britain’s youth and their he- roic sacrifice: They gave their lives, he said, upholding the glorious tradi- tions of America. lin amooih and unbroken.

Speaking on “The Boys Who Went Over to Stay,” a true memorial ad- dress, Rev. Mr. Cook spoke as follow Sympathy For Loved Ones, “When we think of thase of our boys who will not return our first con- cern is for those who have suffered thig loss—for those mothers here and those fathers and wives and sweet- hearts as well as brathers and sisters. And of those children who perhaps never saw and never will remember the one they call father. We have searched our hearts for some comfort- ing word for you. There must have rtain very real sadness in all of yesterday's splendor because those whom you sent over were not among those who could participate in this demonstration. And yet while there | is a sadness in our hearts I am sure there is a deep feeling of satisfaction and pride which only those can know who have suffered deeply in a great and righteous cau God has a way all His own of giving comfort to those | Who have unselfishly given of their best for Him and His purpose in the world. It is more blessed to give than to receive, if our giving is for a noble end. And you certainly have a right to claim a part in the labor and struggle of God in His purposes among men. he men who fell over there saw this new vision and were inspired by this high purpose. We have every evidence of it in their words and action. We see and feel it also in the lives of those who were near enough to the great sacrifice to catch some- thing at least of the unselfish love and power which drove these boys to their death for the cause of righteousness and humanity. We felt it when these boys gathered in numbers to con- sider any serious question. Tt was not difficult to know the groups who i had been at the front and those who had not. The men who faced death willingly for their country and the world were not the same men who went from among us some months | ago and thev can never be the same men again. Something real was done to them in that struggle which drew out of their natures that which in all probability nothing else could have inspired. They have seen hell, and they have seen God; they have seen men stripped of all unselfish- ness offering themselves in supreme sacrifice for ideals of truth and right, and no man can look upon that sight and turn away the same.

Not by any word that we can say here, not by parades tnd songs of praise. The only way that we can really do honor to these men is b the dedication of our lives to the un- finished task for which they the last full measure of devotion. That we may do this we must not forget the lssues of the war.

Neither must we forget the ideals for which we fought. They were purely un- selfish. We sought not one cent of 'indemnity, not a foot of territory. America made her deccision to enter the war on high ideal #nd essential- ly Christian grounds; che was prac- tically unmoved by thoughts of na- tional defense. America was in jeopardy but the average American did not realize this and certainly was not moved by this motive to favor our entrance in the world struggle. After every righteous cffort to pre- serve peaceful relations with Ger- many had been exhausted; when the real issue was so clear cut that we could not doubt its meaning; in the face of fixed American traditions; in a unified effort and spirit which startled the world; and across three thousand miles of sea, America threw her wealth, her men, her every re- source for the sake of righteousness, humanity and civilization.

Scores Political Agitation. was this for which these men died, and if we are to see to it that| they shall not have died in vain, then we must not in this day of readjust- ment allow those ideals and those lofty purposes to be lost in the scram- ble. The man who uses the serious issues of the hour for political or business advantage is a traitor just as truly as the man who in any way gave aid to the enemy or obstructed our progress in time of war. The hour is nc less serious now than then, in truth it is more serious. The deci- sions which must be made by our leaders in the next six months will decide the destinies of civilized peo-! ples for hundreds of years to come. If those decisions are spiritual it means life and liberty, if theyv are material and selfish it :neans a slow decline into tha same kind of catastrophe which the word has witnessed in the last five years.

Father Sullivan took occasion to verbally flay the Boston police for what he considered their unAmerican action in deserting their posts and leaving their fellow-citizens unprotected. He spoke, in part, as follows: “When the story of the great war will take its place in our histories, we will see emblazoned on its pages the marvelous achlevements of that dauntless and intrepid leader of the French air forces, that king of bird- men, the ace of aces—Guynemer. We are told that Guynemer so com- pletely made himself the master of the aerial conflicts with the German aviators that the very mention of his name struck terror into the hearts of his enemies. By that name the Ger- man cavalry would call their horses to attention; while German mothers would still their children by the mere mention of it. “One eventful day during the great war the leading birdmen of France gathered early in the morning for an attack under their great leader, Guyv- nemer. Up in the air the great col- umn of France's bravest soared, to do battle with the menacing host of Germany's aerial fleet “The contest was fought, the Ger- man air forces were nearly anni- hilated, back to their rendezvous came the remnants of France's fam- STRENGTH FOR YOUNG MOTHERS How Lydia E.Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound Restores Health and Strength.

A fitful fever; a mad chase after wealth or honors or pleasure, only to find death at the end; a charge from a muddy trench | across a shell-swept hill and then an awful stillness? Not so, if man's true destiny is to live forever in a happi life with his Creator; not so, if a man is more than the brute, if he has a soul that sighs for life that never ends. “The mystery of the Cross on Good Friday is solved hy the Resurrection on Easter Sunday, when the Saviour rose triumphant from the tomb.
