Under their feet the carpet of green grass and over their heads the flag of their country rippling from the tall staff on Chelsea Parade in the soft breezes of a perfect day, the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic conducted the Memorial day exercises on Monday afternoon. while a crowd of over a thousand showed its inter- est in the tribute to the nation's sol- dier and sallor heroes who have been mustered out by the Great Commander. The parade which preceded the exer- cises was one of the best that has been held in several years, throush the participation of the several organ- izations that were in line, and it had the new feature that for the first time accommodations were provided for all the Sedgwick post veterans to ride in- stead of walk. This was made possible by the generosity of a number of cit- izens in providing their automobiles for the transportation of the veterans. There were enough machines for every man to ride, a privilege that was thor- oughly appreciated by the members of the post.

Gale, chief marshal for the day, was ready to give the word to march at 2 o'clock, There was some delay at the start as it was necessary to wait for one of the Coast artillery companies which had been out of town assisting at a Memorial day exercise and was delayed in get- ting back on time, By 2.80 the two Coast artillery com- panies, with the Spanish War Veter- ans, arrived from the armory, led by Tubbs’ full military band, coming jusf after the Boy Scouts had arrived from Union square, where they had formed.

Memorial Day Address. Addre: ng the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, Con- gressman Freeman Spoke as follows: The occasion of this gathering here tod: is well known to us all.

This particular Memorial day has for all of us an exceptional signifi- cance. We meet today with the knowledge that eleven nations of the clvilized world are waging war upon one another and we are confronted with the contingency that at any time our own country may become involy- ed therein.

Your trials, your experiences of the past are invaluable today as lessons to determine the problems of the present.
