AR, and in behalf of my comrades, I welcome you to this, our publi¢ ser- vice. Also you, the members of the Coast Artillery and Spanish War Vet- erans, who have offered your services as escort; also the Sons of Veterans and our moble Citizens’ Corps, and I would also mention the Boy Scouts, the Cadets, and all who this day pay honor to the patriotic dead. Their memorable deeds will serye not only to make American citizenship in these days more respectable, but also to maintain and perpetuate through all future generations, the Union and au- thority of the United States of Ameri- ca, Comrades and Friends: The duty of today is of impressive significance. You have met here today to honor our dead and to deepen our reverence for their worth, to encourage a more gen- erous charity for our comrades who are sick or in distress and for the destitute wards of our Grand Army. This is the national day of memorial, the time when in mind and thought our glorious past is made to live again. It is the hour when a nation awakes to the remembrance of deeds of he- roism performed in its defense; the day when a loyal people, grateful for service rendered their country, unito to honor their patriot dead. Differ- ence of party, creed and sect are to- day forgotten. North, south, east and west, all over our broad land, our peo- ple with reverent hearts circle the sa- cred monuments where sleep our clouded with tears, are desolate because of the father or the husband or lover, did not come back. as tender sympathy for e living wh mourn for the loved ones they have lost.

The ancient Jew standing on the hills of Palestine watching the actions of the Canaanites was doubtless a pa- triot who was intensely devoted to his wuntr;: 50 also is the modern Ameri- can who from every hilltop and every valley of this favored land is straining his eyes across the vast expanse of the Atlantic and watching the course of events in_ this present European war. ZI:: .';he du:i’ t the ;T;Iy .Vev‘vfl was upon perform ‘ered ‘wide from the duty that confronts eveg citizen today. It was the duty of that Jew to discover the favor- able moment for dispossessing the pet- ty tribes that infested the land; it is the duty of the modern American to study the ways and means that shall prevent us from being dispossessed of our Dblood-bought heritage. That our political heritage was bought with the price of blood—I might almgst say with the blood of martyrs—will at once be seen by those who are familiar with our history.

As a people we have always ‘been slow in realizing a great danger. We are more loug-suffering under a urning sense of reddened by the blood of our fore- = fathers under the tactful Washington before the original thirteen colonies ocould be consolidated into a free and independent nation. Tt may be well for us to make a rapid historical survey of the differences of demand that the various leading na- tions of the past have made of their subjects for their patriotism. pagan conception of the object of na- tional existence is radically unlike the Christian; at least, it is radically um- like the demand that America ever made upon its people. The early pagan states were all of them, in fact if not in law, absolute monarchies. Rome masqueraded for a while as a republic, but it was more autocratic in spirit and absolute in authority than Eng- land today with its constitutional mon- archy. Whatever name was attached to the ancient pagan state, it was in every instance an organized system of grinding despotism. The utter selfish- ness, the carefully planned cruelty, he complete disregard of every instinct of humanity which prevailed among all e nations of antiquity find no parallel among the enlightened states of today. It is sometimes said in the heat of in- dignation that this present war has thrown civilization to the winds in its massacre of precious lives. It is doubt- less true that with the development of military tactics, and the perfection of warlike implements, the expenditure of human life is greater than ever before, But it is not true that any civilized nation of Europe today is as cruel in its warfare as any nation of antiquity. Whatever may be the issue of this con- flict, King George will not be led about the streets of Berlin with a hook in his nose as was Zedekiah in Babylon after his eyes had been gouged out; reither will the kaiser be toted about Paris in a cage as was Jugurtha in Rome. Civilization has not quite been thrown to the winds. The deeds done by the Turks are a close second to ihose performed by Assyrians and Romans, but the “unspeakable” Turk lgoquite outside the pale of civiliza- n. \ Is it not quite clear, then, what du- ties ancient nations not only expected but demanded of their subjects and what those subjects were expected to render? If patriotism is the passion in the heart of man to serve his coun- try, he must render the kind of service which his country demands. Outside the pale of republican institutions the subject has no voice in the matter. He is expected to render willing service Just as the state directs; he is not even expected to have instincts that will revolt at anything the state plans. His personality is lost absolutely in the will of the state. If any nation of an- tiguity planned wilful and deliberate murder, the patriotism of the age de- manded instant and unquestioning obe- dience. The most forms of cruelty were resorted to by kings, princes and senates for the accom- plishment of the most nefarious de- signs, and patriotism called upon help- less people t0 be the means of execu- tion. Is it strange that -the life of most past nations was honeye with insurrections? That crowns and thrones were constantly perishing and other crowns and thrones were rising up- to take their places? Now all th goes to show that in a state of soclety where might is assumed to be right— Wwhether ancient or modern—there will ‘wars and rumors of wars until moral law shall be the basis of action, both individual and national. ve referred to the world's polit- e Dbest disci- may point with pride to the noble Washington, but that distinguished leader is not the complete solution. Tke nearest approach to a solution that Zg] right sort of patriotism .and the men who exposed their precious lives were the right sort of patriots. History has proven more than once on decisive bat- Ueflelés that mercenary soldiers fight- ing for pay, however finely disciplined, are not equal to raw recruits fighting for home, country and liberty. The United States may justly claim that she has never engaged in a war of aggression. More than once she has been called upon to defend her rights, as in the second clash with England in 1812, when American ships were seized and an embargo put on Ameri- can tiade with by both England and ; and when naturalized Ameri- can sallors were impressed into Eng- lish service. More than once has this country been known to offer protection to the down-trodden by the use of her army and navy. The nearest we ever came to el the aggressor was in settling the Texan bordex line with Mexico in 1846. This is probab! only war in human history in which every battle was gained by the victori- ous party. v ‘When I speak of the internal vol- cano, fourteen years later, I touch up- on a theme, gentlemen of the Grand light mingles with the shadows. is uppermost in your minds when you remember that your patriotic devotion to the needs of vour country—and those whom you represent in these exercises . the TUnion from disruption; a Union that was founded amid tears and prayers, and nurtured by the blood of heroes.

Standing at the head of five gen- erations is a distinction that is rare- ly attained. This privilcge has been accorded Mrs. Susan Bates whose long life came to a peaceful close Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at her home at Nohegn where ehe has resided the past years. All her life she had been remark- ably free from sickness and was al- ways very active up to about three weeks ago when she was taken ill with grip and gradually failed. Mrs. Bates was born in Exeter, R. I, Nov. 22, 1829, the daughter of John and Bates. She was.married Sept. 18, 1848, to Nichols B. Bates, a native of Exeter, R. 1. Mr. Bates was in the navy during the Civil war and was promoted to the position of chief engineer which gave him the rank of colonel. Col. Bates died March 25, 1887, at Ulysses, Neb., where he and Mrs. Bates then resided. Col. Bates was for three terms a member of the Connecticut legislature, and elso United States bofler inspector at Nor- wich for 11 years, and held some lo- cal office nearly all his life. VHe was an expert mechanic and collaborated with his brother in the invention of “Bates’ Patent Steam Gauge,” which is now in general use throughout the country, ‘Mre. Bates is survived by a daugh- ter, Mrs. John A. Smith, who_ with her husband resided with Mrs. Bates. She leaves two grandchildren, Luman N. Smith (who is a grandfather) of Springfieid, Mass,, and Mrs. Nina V. Smith of Mohegan, two great grand- children, Raymond P. Smith, of Bos- ton, and Mrs. Charles Brooks of Cov- entry, and a great great granddaugh-' ter, Audrey Lewis Brooks, also a nephew, W. Luther Bates of Wakefleld, R. 1. Mrs. Bates was a member of the Congregational church at Preston City. She was a conscientious woman and was loyal to her friends, of whom she had many. Always ready to ren- der assistance to the afflicted and to those having trials and misfortunes, her passing comes as a personal loss to her neighborhood as well as to the four generations of her descendants. “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” Mrs. John Staubley. Mary Ann Staubley, widow of John Staubley, died at her home on Sher- man street Monday evening at 10.45 o’'clock, after an illness with grip.
