With neaus bowed, and minds az ,-eat, we pause once more to pay our
brief tribute to the soldier dead of this great nation. They were ready and
willing when their homes needed protection, when the land that was theirs was
tn need. They have given their all that we today might be free; to them we
ewe a gratitude greater than we can show. "Greater love hath no man than
this.--" Let us accord them due honor.

BY t/ 8ow or the inland river,
Whence the 8eats o# iron bays Bed.
Where the blades the grave-lra quiver,
dsleep ere the rsn) o tha dead:
Under the sgd ad the dew,
Watttnz the &maut day:
Uzdar the one, tba Blue,
Under tha other, the Gray.
]'heu in the robia&a o# linty,
Ta ia the IllOom @f defeat,
All with the batHe-blood gory
In the dusk ot eternity meet:
Under the sod and the dew.
Wsitin& the iudgment day:
Under the laurel, the Blue,
Under the wil:ow, the Grins.
No more shall the war.cry sever.
Or the winding rivers be red;
TI banish their anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our Head!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the /udgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue.
Tears and love for the Grey.
T HE first spring following the close
l°f the Civil war found a group of
southern women decorating the
graves of the soldier dead. They
placed thelr floral tributes on all the
graves regardless of the color of the
uniform the buried men wore. That
these mothers, sisters and widows could
remember the northern soldiers with
the same tbute of love that they re-
membered their" own dead brought
about a feeling of tolerance all over
the country. This little ceremony in-
spired the poet, Francis Miles Finch,
to write his poem. "The Blue and the
Gray."
Later It was st to music, and the
singing and reading o tt dlcl more
to re-establish harmony than any of
th well thought out plans of recon-
ciliation of the diplomats. The second
spring after the war the northern
women decorated the graves of the
southern men as well as the graves
of their own dead.
In 1868 General Logan commanded
all the soldiers' graves to be decorated.
The same year New York declared Me-
morial day e legal holiday and state
after state follawed Its example• So
one day toward the latter part of
May the dead are honored and a just
tribute is paid to memories.
Since this day has been largely re-
sponslble for establishing harmony be-
tween the North and South it is also
due to its results that belles from the
South and maids from the North now
gather In the same soelal cliques.

when his country called, so now he will
not fail when comes the time to pay

rades. He'll march today with the last

Threatened Duel
of Violins Averted
M1]siclans of Budap,,st, Hungary,
are breathing easier now that the
threatened duel of violins has bee
averted. Trouble started when Louis
Halasz, a Transsylvania gypsy mt
ician, secured an engagement in one
of the cafes. Budapest gypsy musi-
cians met and decided Italasz mtmt
stage a musical duel with Julius
Csorba. Each was to be backed by
a band, and 15 folk songs must be
played by eacb. If Halasz won,
Csorba mus go on his knees before
him. If Csorba won, Halasz must
leave town forever. Just as excite-
ment was boiling the government or-
dered Halasz, now a Rumanhm na.
tlonat, to leave Hungary.
