With deep ened solemnity, the first Memorial day after the close of the great world conflict was observed in the national capital today, the nation's heroes of earlier wars sharing its tribute with those who fell in the struggle to maintain the liberties and ideals for which their forefathers fought. Memorial exercises were held at Arlington, national cemetery and United States soldiers' home and at other points tinder the auspices of the G. A. R., United States Span ish War Veterans and allied organ izations, which participated in the animal parade earlier in the day. With the senate not in session, members of the house devoted the day to paying tribute "to those who served or gave others to the service of the country in the great war." The significance of Memorial Day this year was interpreted in state ments by Secretaries Baker and Wil son and Acting Secretary of State Polk. , "The spiritual progress of Amer ica," said Secretary, Baker, "is shown by our addition of fresh glory to this day set apart to memoralize the nation's heroic dead. There is no division of its ancient significance, but fresh meaning is added by those who have died on foreign soil to per petuate the liberties for which their ancestors gave their 'lives at home." Secretary Wilson appealed to the labor torces of the country espe cially to recognize that it is "their privilege to carry on the work" for which the nation's heroes have died. "While the war was on," said Sec oretary Wilson, 'our slogan was la bor will win the war.' In this period of reconstruction it is, 'in- labor's hands the tools are placed.' Let us build a permanent memorial indeed, a memorial whose foundation is American pluck and perseverance, and whose structure is American in tegrity and loyalty." French and Americans Join In Decoration Day Service for Yanks . Paris, May 30. Not a grave of any American who fell in the great war was overlooked in today's ob servance of Memorial day. Some of the services were held in the vicinity of the battle line along which the troops fought and sacri ficed their lives in the cemeteries where they were laid to rest. Oth ers took place near the hospital centers further back where those whose wounds finally caused their death, have been buried. The two most notable events of the day were at Suresnes, near Paris, and at Romagne, near the Argonne. President Wilson went to the for mer place, while General Pershing went to Romagne, near the spot where the Americans suffered their heaviest losses in the fighting. The 2,500 soldier dead at Romagne were honored by the attendance of a bat talion of infantry, a battery of ar tillery and a regimental band, while similar detachments took part in the exercises at other large cemeteries. After paying tribute to the memory of their fallen comrades, the members of the American ex peditionary forces, from the Rhine to 'the -sea, spent the remainder of the day in taking part in and wit nessing athletic events of various kinds. As part of the Memorial day ob servance, Hugh C. Wallace, Amer ican ambassador to France, went to the Picpus cemetery in the outskirts of Paris and placed a wreath on the tomb of Lafayette. ' Marshal Petain, commander of the French army, gave directions to French troops near the places where, the American dead were buried, to pay tribute to their fallen comrades in arms from overseas.

My Heart and My Husband ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife" Has Alice Holcombe Come to Aid Madge in a Difficult Situation? The movie theater was darkened for the second run when we reached it, and we had difficulty in finding seats. At last the usher found two about mictway down the hall, next the wall, and we climbed over a num ber of resentful people to our places. We had no means of know ing whether or not Mis Dean was in the house until the film, to my mind an unusually dreary and unin teresting one, had been run out, and the lights were flashed on for two or three minutes before the next feature. Dicky saw her first. He had been eagerly looking for her since the moment the lights came on, and I pretended to share his interest, al though I would have been glad in deed to have been assured of the girl's absence from the place. "There she is!" my husband ex claimed in a tone which" he forgot or didn't care to lower. At any rate it turned several heads in our direction, and made me draw back flushed and resentfully embarrassed at the attention we were attracting. He nudged me as he spoke, and I followed his glance to a point ai riest directly opposite us, but on the other side of the theater, where Bess Dean, in the flame-colored gown she had worn at the Stock bridge reception, sat beside Alice Holcombe. "Don't Worry." "What do you know about that?" Dicky muttered in a tone that be trayed annoyance. "She's got the old girl with her. I didn't count on having to play the gallant to her." 1 could not help but smile at his masculine obtuseness, even while I hotly resented his disrespectful al lusion to the woman I cared most for in the whole roll of Bayview teachers, the woman for whom I had grown to have a sincere affec tion. Manlike, Dicky was firming that Miss Holcombe's presence meant that he would have but little chance for Miss Dean's society, while any woman could have told him that the younger woman had brought the older woman along to talk to me so that she could secure Dicky's undivided attention. "Don't worry," I assured him in a whisper. "Alice Holcombe and I always have oceans of words to say to each other, so I'll relieve you of that responsibility." "I didn't quite mean that," Dicky said contritely after we had both acknowledged Bess Dean's gay smile and wave of the hand and Alice Holcombe's soberer saluta tion. "Miss Holcombe's a mighty fine woman, no doubt, but she's too clever for me. I'm afraid of that drawl of hers too much brains and critical power behind it. I felt the other night when I stood talking to her as though she had put nie on a spindle or a pin point or what ever those scientists put the bugs they're studying on, and was look ing me over to see if I had the re quisite number of joints." What Madge Guessed. "Oh, Dicky!" I expostulated, smiling in spite of myself. "You do her an injustice. She's really one of the dearest, sweetest " 'Til take your word for it," Allies May Withdraw From Russia by End of Summer London, May 30. Winston Spen cer Churchill, secretary for war, speaking in the House of Commons yesterday, forshadowed the possibil ity of withdrawal of foreign troops from Russia by the end of summer, owing to the favorable situation. As soon as peace was signed, he said, the Rhine army could be reduced from 10 to six divisions and still more when it was seen that peace was being effectively carried out. Dicky interrupted lazily. "Don't try to prove it to me. Besides, a woman as good looking as she is has no business to look as dowdy and old as she does tonight." I looked at my friend, and was forced to acknowledge that Dieky's criticism was in part justified. Alice Holcombe did look old, and she wasn't her usually well-groomed self. Her wonderful hair had evi dently been done up hastily, she had on the same suit she had worn in her classroom that afternoon, and her whole appearance suggested that she had been lying 'own and had hastily arisen and come to the theater. The conviction came to me sud denly that this was just what she had done. With a little flame of anger at my heart I saw the whole mean little scheme of Bess Dean's as if I had been present when she had unfolded it. With the idea that her own youth ful prettiness would stand out more strikingly against a foil, she must have purposely delayed her request to Alice Holcombe to join us until too late for the older woman to freshen her toilet. Another realization came to me. Alice Holcombe was too clever to allow her associate to use her un less she had a compelling motive for so doing. With a constriction of my throat I knew that my friend had come to the theater regardless of her own appearance because she fancied she might in some way aid me in a difficult situation.
