Also you, the members of the Coast Artillery ~and Spanish War Veterans, who have of- fered your services as escort, and the Sons of Veterans and our noble Citi- J/en corpe. and I would not forget to ‘mention the Boy Scouts who have of- fered their services, in any way in which they may contribute to the com- fort of the comrades; and I wish in behalf of my comrades to thank all Who have contributed in any way and by their presence in helping to make this another Memorial day, one nev- er to be forgotten. Comrades and Friends: The duty of today is of impressive significance. You have met with us here today, to honor our dead and to deepen our reverence for their worth: to en- courage @& more generous charity for our comrades who are sick or in_dis- tress, and for the destitute wards of our Grand Army; to renew our pledge of loyalty to our country and our flag and to emphasize in the minds and hearts of all who may unite with us, the privilege and’ duty of parictism. This is the national day of Memorial, the time when in mind and thought, our glorfous past s made to live again. It is the hour when a nation awakes to the remembrance of deeds of herolsm performed in its defense: the day when a loyal people grateful for service rendered their country unite to honor their- patriot dead. Dif- ferences of creed and sect are today forgotten while north and south, east and west, all over our broad coun- try, our people with reverent hearts circle the sacred mounds, whire sleep our country's dead. On this Memo- rial day let us not forget that many oyes are clouded with tears, that many lives are desclate because of the fath- er or_brother, the husband or lover who did not come back. Let us min- gle a tender sympathy for the living who mourn for the ioved ones they have lost. Let us recall to memory the man who in the time of danger made their hearts a barricade between our country and its foes. Let us re- call thelr folls on the long weary marches, thelr intense suffering in the hospitals, their fearful sacrifices in the prison pens, their sublime heorism in the days of battle, and finally, as we are gathered at this monument as before an altar, may we pledge our manhood that, help us God, thé memery of our country's dead shall strengthen and encourage in us all, a deeper and more abiding patriotism. Prayer by Chaplain J. A. Wheeler was followed by another appropriate selection by the band, rendered with great impressiveness, and the Memo- rial day orders were read by Senior Vice Commander Philip Spelman.

Appreciation of the speaker's words were shown at several points by the applause which It evoked and the vet- erans spoke with admiration, after the parade, of his address. The singing of America by the united voices of the big crowd, led by the music of the band, and ths sound- ing of taps by Professor George with deep impressiveness made a fitting close to this part of the programme. Review and Dress Parade, This was followed by review and +| dress parade carried out by the two Coast artillery companies in admir- able form, with the lowering of the flag from the lofty new 60 foot pole, which had been purchased and erect ed by the selectmen recently.

Over 275 were seated at the tables during the afternoon and a large committee of the women, directed by Mrs. Dorothea W. Balcom, chairman, served the lunchean. In the early part of the afternoon the women of the Relief Corps were at the Memorial, where they saw to it that each one of the post members was provided with a buttonhole bou- quet. In the morning the various details for the different cemeteries, consist- ing of members of the post, assisted by Sons of Veterans, decorated the graves, t t WIRELESS STATION CAUGHT SIGNAL TO HOIST FLAG. Booth's Station Took Noon Time Di- rect from Arlington. An item of interest to Norwich Is the fact that for the first time o flag ‘was raised to the top of the pole at 12 m., simultaneously with the flag at Ariington, Va. On Memorial day the flag is hung at half mast until 12 o'clock. when it is raised to the top of the stafr. Following this custom, the large flag owned by James E. C. Leach was | near the Booth wireless station, Satur- y. As the noon hour, 12 o'clock, at Ar { lington, Va., was flashed by wifeless, it was' caught by an assistant, who gave the signal, and the flag was run 10 the top by Messrs. Leach and Booth | some few minutes before the noon hour was sounded in Norwich. The value of the wireless even in the -recent hard wind storm when the teiephone at Mr. Booth's station was put out of commission. Mr. Booth sent # message to Francis Bidwell teling his trouble «nd asking him to notify the telephone company. :ANNUAL MEETING WITH SMOKER TO FOLLOW Held by Scandinavian Political Club— | Andrew Swanberg President.
