Even at sunrise some were busy making more beautiful the resting places of their loved ones. As the day advanced the cities of the dead be came cities of the living. Nor did it take much imagination to feel that the epirits of those whose bodies were burled there were present in a real sense. Soldier Dead Revered. Though dedicated especially to the memory of the soldier dead. Memorial (lay also saw loving attention turned to those who fought the life battles of peace. Organizations of former soldiers in the republic's wars honored and re membered their dead comrades in im pressive services over their graves. At 3 Lee Forby camp. Spanish \V ir Veterans, held memorial sscvle—« et West Lawn. All day members of ex-soldier or ganizations and their auxiliaries visited the gra\es in the various cemeteries. A memorial service was held at 10:30 by Omaha drove No. 1, B. F. O. Does. The third annual military mass in honor of the soldier end sailor d“ad was held In the morning at Holy Sepulcher cemetery, under the au spices of the Omaha council of the Knights of Columbus, with between 12,000 and 15,000 men, women and children in attendance. Tha green hillside, sloping gently toward the southeast, was well filled before the services began. It formed a natural stadium which enabled the vast throng to see the small, tented altar in the southeast corner of the cemetery. Before this altar, covered by an American flag and surrounded by stately candles, reposed the casket, symbolic of all the dead which were to he honored by the ceremony. Be fore the casket stood a firing squad of Creighton R. O. T. C. cadets. Cnpt. A. H. Goeser In command, and color bearers. Nature, in Its gayer mood, added to the Impressiveness of it. Rev. P. C. Gannon of St. Patrick parish, was celebrant. Rev. lames W. .Stinson, pastor of St. Philomena church, was master of ieremonies and preached the patriotic sermon. The Knights of Columbus glee Hub fur nished the mt'Slr. Rev. George A. Smiskdl, pastor of St. Cecilia cathedral, was deacon and ltev. I,eo A. Melnzer, assistant of St. Bridget parish, was stibdcacon. Rev. Father Stinson, in his sermon, expressed the need of patriotism in peace times as well as in wag. lie urged loyalty to country and to church, emphasizing the need of law observance. He warned against the. self satisfied spirit which is apt to predominate during peace. Declaring that patriotism Is the soul of the nation, and that to blot out tiie memories of the early his tory of this country would obliterate an understanding of the word ''patrio tism," John L.

Washington, May 30.—With a vote on the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill in prospect by tomorrow night, the house today, unlike the senate, took no Memorial day recess, in or der to plunge back into the flood <<f amendments sweeping against the measure when it was laid aside Sat urday. House members generally predicted a close decision on the bill, which makes provision for a $200,000,000 tor poration to export surplus farm prod ucts. Only two <>f its 28 pages had been disposed of after four hours’ con s.deration of amendments, under the five-minute rule, when it was laid aside last week, and thes*- comprised only the preliminary section defining the emergency for the legislation. An unsuccessful effort was made today for an agreement to defer a vote on the McNary-Haugen bill until next week. Representative Kincheloe of Ken tucky, a democratic member of the agriculture committee and on eof the leading opponents of the measure, dr dared it would be unfair to many members, who have Wf Washington f* rthe weekend, to press it to a vote tomorrow, but Representative Kong worth, Ohio, t ,e republican leader, served notice that If it were possible a vote on pasage would be had before weekend adjournment. Representative Garrett, Tenner, e. the democratic leader, remarked that a delay in the vote could be forced if the reading of an engrossed copy of the bill, which could not be pre pared for some hours, was demanded at the last minute. The first amendment offered today was proposed by Representative Jones of Texas, a democratic member of the agriculture * .>mmitt* ‘ . It pro vided that the corporation which would be created to sell surplhs farm prodrets abroad should have author ity to fix ratio prices on livestock ns well as food products of rattle, sheep and swine. The Jones amendment was rejected. 58 to 14. after a discussion which em braced the merits of the whole bill. Representative Hudspeth, demo crat, Texas, declared it would take less than 10,00° employes to operate the corporation to be net up. instead of the 50,000 as claimed by some members. lit* did not believe opera- j tion of the corporation would increase the cost of beef to the consumer.

( Schurnian Mav Succeed \\ oods as Ambassador l . S. Reported 'a Have Asked Japan Vk licllier Minister to China <»uld Re Acceptable. R» Associated PreM. Toklo. May 30.—There is reason to believe that, the Japanese foreign office has been asked by the American government' whether Jacob Gould Schurnian. now minister to China, would be acceptable as ambassador to Japan to succeed Cyrus K. Woods, who resigned recently. Washington, Mav 30.—Official con firmation of the report that Minister Schurnian at Pekin had been selected to succeed Ambassador Woods at Toklo was larking, and Secretary Hughes refused to comment. There was little disposition in diplomatic circles, however, to doubt that Mr Srhurman s name was under consid eration at Toklo or that he would be acceptably to the Japanese govern ment. Administration officials have mani fested repeatedly the desire to take every possible means of impressing on the Japanese government and people the friendly sentiments of the Washington gov* rni ent and it is be lieved the prompt filling of the Toklo post would aid this purpose. 1 »r. Srhurman has long Iwen known as a student of far eastern affairs who viewed sympathetically the prob lem* of the nations there. He spent considerable time in Japan in 1020, making several addresses and was well received. The experience *»f f*r. Sehurman at the Pekin legation has given him first-hand knowledge of the problems of the far east which would he of ut most value to him. In view of nil these circumstances, and particularly because be Is already virtually on the scene, the word from Toklo today caused little surprise d* pit*- official reticence In Washington.

Adherence to World Court Apart From League Flayed in Memorial Speech. Says Defense Necessary Washington, May 30. — Proposals for American adherence to the world court contingent upon its disassocia tion from the league of nations were spurned by President Coolidge in his Memorial day address at Arlington, as unworthy of American principle# and traditions. “If we receive anything we must surrender something,” said the presi dent, speaking of the world court and the question of American membership in it. We may as well face the ques tion candidly and If we are willing to assume these new duties in exchange f'»r the "benefits which wouW accure to us, let us say so. if we are not willing, let us say that. We can a< complish nothing by taking a doubt ful or ambiguous position.” Defense Necessary. Warning was given by the presi dent against leaving the country un» defended because history has shown “there have been and will be tenden cies of one nation to encroach dn an other." If© coupled with this warn ing, however, the statement that he Has opposed "to every kind of mili tary aggrandizement and to all forms of competitive armament” and that America should do its part in making fast the ideal of limitation of arma ments by international covenants. The president began his addres? delivered at the annual ceremonies in Memorial amphitheater, with an analysis of the founding and guiding principles of the nation, foremost among which he found to be the n» cessJty for surrender by individuals snd by the states of a portion of their rights and their sovereignty in order to obtain the benefits accruing to the organized whole. Benefit® Known. *‘7n these days little rveed e*lst« for extolling the blessing" of our fed eral union," he continued. “Its bene fits ®r# known and recognized by all it* citizens who are worthy of serious attention. No one thinks now of at tempting to destroy the union bv armed force. No one seriously con siders withdrawing from it. But it is not enough that It should be free from attack—it must be approved and supported by a national spirit. Our prime allegiance must be to the whole country. A sentiment of sectional ism Is not harmless because It is un armed. Reslstence to the righteous authority of federal law is not Inno cent because It Is not accompanied by secession. We need a more defi nite realization that all of our coun try must stand or fall together, and that It Is the duty of the government to promote the welfare of each part and the duty of the citizen to remem ber that he must be first of all an American. I S. Citizenship High Fstate. "Only one conclusion appears to me possible to promote our welfare by a narrow and short sighted policy. We can gain nothing by any destruction of government or society. That ac tion which in the long run is for the advantage of the individual, as it Is for the support of our union, is best summed up in a single word — renun ciation. It is only by surrendering a certain amount of our liberty, only bv taking on new duties and assuring new obligations, that we make that progress which we characterize ns civilisation. It Is only in like manner that the citizens and the states can maintain our federal union ar d be come partakers of its glory. That is the answer to every herald of discon tent, and to every preacher of de struction. While this Is understood American institutions and the Ameri can union are secure. “This principle cannot he too defi nitely or emphatically proclaimed. American citizenship is a high estate, lie who holds it Is the pe* r of kings. If has been secured only by untold foil and effort. It will be maintained bv no other method.

Ford, Referee of Speedway Classic, Insures Drivers’ Lives for $10,000 Twenty-Two Years’ Absence From Seat of Rarer Pails to Dim Auto Maker s Enthusiasm. e By Amwflited Fre»», Indianapolis, Ind., May 30.—Twen ity twoyears absence from the seat of a racing automobile have not dimmed the interest of Henry Ford in the game of speed and chance. The fa mous Detroiter proved to the 135.000 | persons attending the 12th annual 1500-mile race here today that the automobile, in all its forms, is almost j the very life of him by the deep 1 study he mad* of the contest. Mr. Ford the referee of to day’s race, and took his great re sponsibility with his usual serious ness, but was not called upon to make I any unusual decisions. It was gift day for the drivers and I mechanics, Mr. Ford insuring the [lives of all for $10,000 against ac«.i I dent. There were only two, Ernie Anaterberg and Lane Houser, skid ding off the track and overturning. Neither suffered more than a shak ing up. Announcement of the gift was withheld until after the start of the race, at the request of the donor, who feared such action might cause some of the drivers to become mor bid. Victor)’ Day For Ford. In a way it was also a victory day for Mr. Ford. Four machines of the type be manufactured started in the iace against the world’s fastest speed creations. When the first 10 ma chines had finished, the quartet still was running, smoothly and sturdily. They lacked the necessary speed, however, the performance of the cars appeared to please Mr. Ford very much. Prior to the start of the race at I 10 this morning. Mr. Ford was given a ^Ide around the '-nurse in the pace making car. Barney Oldfield, who entered the racing game under Mr. Ford and piloted the famous “999" to many records, was at the wheel. Mr. Ford then climbed into one of the race car- bearing his name, examined it thoroughly, posed for some pic tures, and got back to his job as ref eree. After the start of the race, he took a seat of vantage arid remained until the end. “The ra«e proves beyond a doubt what we already knew—that every in dividual in America is interested in the automobile,” Mr. Ford said. “This race, the greatest motor car classic of America, seems to be the climax of motor interest in the public mind." It was understood Mr. Ford and his son, Kdsel, and others of the party planned to leave Indianapolis tonight or early tomorrow. U. S.
