- Aged Veterans.
Foremost among the men who
gathered it thi culminating cere
mony of Decoration day were the
aed veteran of the Grand Army of
the Republic, when who at Lin
coln's call put aside their implement
of hu.-bamiry for army uniforms of
blue, and set out for battle deter
mined to seal with blood if needs he
the unity of the American nation. To
these old soldiers who knew hint
and obeyed him in life was given
the place of honor in this-last and
greatest tribute to the leader under
whom they had served and with
them, as mute testimony to the
greatness of the emancipator's vi
sions, stood other old and feeble men
in the gray of the southern confede
racy, also come to pay homage to
the memory of the charitable Lin
coln. The uniforms of the veterans, mili
tary attaches and of the marines
who guarded and patrolled the path
ways through the great throng, were
the only signs today of martial lif'
except that officers and men of the
British flagship Raleigh, now' at
Washington navy yard, were min
gled with the thousands of domestic
patriots who stood in a blazing sun
to heat' the addresses of former
I'residctat Taft and President Hard
ing. Transparent White Marble.
The speakers' rostrum was at the
head of the wide stairway leading to
the square marble bulk of the memo
rial, in which the huge statue of Lin
coln is the only object in a stately
chamber, roofed . with transparent
white marble. Below the platform
stretched the general crowd and the
amplifiers from the roof of the me
norial carried the words of the
speakers far across to the wooded
sweeps of lawn on cither hand that
reach toward the monument to
Washington in one direction and
towards the looming bulk of the
capitol ;in the other.
The statue is a masterpiece of the
sculptor's art. It shows Lincoln in
the postf and with the expression that
l-..ve long been endeared to Amer
ican hearts. It is cut from a solid
block of Georgia marble and from
the base of the statue itself to the
head of the seated figure is nearly 20
t'eet. Above the statue on the back
wall of the memorial runs the sim
ple legend that tells of the greatness
of this man and of the love his coun
trymen, north and south alike, have
come to. bear his memory.
The sculptor has seen Lincoln as
Lincoln's son, who came here today
despite age and infirmities to attend
the impressive ceremonies, often
must have seen him in life when he
sank back in his heavy chair at the
White House desk and brooded over
the havoc that civil war would, make.
The figure is relaxed with arms out
spread on the arms o the chair; the
wide shoulders are pressed back for
support, but the head is erect, and
the quiet, gaunt, deeply-lined face is
but the setting of the brooding eyes
looking thoughtfully, almost in sor
rowing pity over the memories of
the scenes they witnessed, of the
anxious, days they knew.
There were others who partici
pated in the ceremonies besides Chief
Justice Taft and Fresident Harding.
There was a little handful of veter
ans who solemnly and with full ritual
dedicated the colors in honor of this
dead leader. There also was Dr.
Robert . R. Moton to speak or the
negroes of America to whom Lin
coln gave so much, and there was
Edwin Markham who read a poem
of his own written to commemorate
this day.
Speaks for Negroes, -
Washington, May 30. Lincoln did
- not die for the negro alone but upon
that race rests the immediate ob
ligation to justify emancipation. Dr.
Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee insti
tute declared today in his address
at the dedication of the national mem
orial to Abraham Lincoln.
'"Xo one is more sensible than the
negro himself of his incongruous
position in the great American re
public." Dr. Moton said, "but be it
recorded to his everlasting credit, no
failure to reap the full award of hisj
sacrifices has ever in the least degree j

Mention Industrial Condition.
The speaker referred to the clo.e
relation between industrial condition
and (he nation' welfare, ((resting
the thought that the worker should
not forsake ideahim for materialism.
"If the workingman of America
forsake idealism and tU down to
the dead level of materialism, where
hi notion is to get a niuch a he
can and give a little at possible,
where he thinkt more of hi ay than
the character of hi work, he will
have s hard row to hoe. If the capi
talist forake the ideal and get
down to the low level of business for
profit' sake alone, where he
squeezes the worker and k"s as
much work and a long hour for as
low a wage a possible, he will have
a hard row to travel, and in both
cases the people surfer." said the
minister.
Charles Weller Preside.
Charles F. Weller, commander of
Old Guard post No. 7. Grand Army
of the Republic, presided at the pub
lic meeting. One of the thought he
exprested was that Memorial day
should ever recall the memory of all
of tho departed heroes of the nation.
A civil war veteran himself, he hoped
that the American Legion, the Span
ish War Veterans and other patriotic
organizations always will cherish a
tender memory for the boy of '61
'65. "Wc should never forget what the
civil war meant to this nation, nor
should we forget that patriotic fires
burned in the breasts of the bovs
of '61 when they donned -the blue
and marched forth to the south,"
said Colonel Weller.
Choir and Quartet Sing.
The choir of the First Methodist
church and the Grand Army quartet
furnished musical numbers. I'rayer

Fxpressiou of gratitude (or all
that Amrriea had done for France
furnished the chief festure of the
principal memorial service held at
the Suresne cemetery, near 1'ari.
Marshal Joffre declared that France
would never forget America's arrival
in a time of utmost need, and said
that despite political consideration,
the ties which hound the two repub
lic were certain to grow stronger
each year with the silent and elo
quent encouragement which 40,000
American graves throughout France
would give to such a cause.
Al Suresne. as at other cemeteries,
the French people made the day
their own.
During the Suresnes ceremony 10..

Suresncs Cemetery. France, May
30. The arising of a "closer brother
hood of states" out of the wreck of
empires left by the world war was
predicted by Maj. Gen. J. G. Har
bord, deputy chief of staff, United
States army, in his Memorial day
address today at Suresnes cemetery.
Allied blood on the battlefields of
Europe ''has cemented the founda
tion of the future federation of the
world," he declared.
"It is but four brief years." Gen.
Harbord recalled, "since the Ameri
can Second division passed through
the suburbs of this splendid city on
its way to the front near Chateau
Thierry. One cannot recall those
brave days without a swelling of the
heart and dimming of the eye. Xor
can one mourn our dead without
pride, if sorrow is tempered with the
consciousness of what the sacrifices
of these and all allied soldiers means
to the world.
