Here under the clear skies of the green hillside and amid the flowering fields of France, on the quiet hush of peace, we leave you forever in God’s keeping.” With these words General Pershing, commander of the American expedi tionary forces closed his memorial day address at Romange in the Argonne cemetery, where more than 9,000 Americans who fell in the fighting are buried. General Degoutt, represent ing the French government, and Mar shal Foch, allied commander in chief, ♦ * spoke briefly, mentioning all the bat tles in which the Americans had par ticipated and dwelling ifcpon the ever lasting memory in which those who had died for the cause of liberty, jus tice and civilization would be held by all France. The speaker’s stand was on a hill side overlooking the sloping acres of the white crosses. In the center of the plot a huge American flag was flying and at the corner other stavs held the national colors at half mast. W;th the ocnclusion of General Per shing’s speech, four 75’s of the Third Division artfflery Hred the nationirt sa- lute. The guns were the ones which had been turned on the enemy on the Marne when last July the Germans started their last great drive toward Paris. Amid the booming of the guns a soldier sang “Lead Kindly Light,” and V after this a company of infantrymen from the Fifth Division fired three vol leys off towards the north over the graves. A bugle corps sounded “Taps” and all the flags were raised to mast top as the exercises ended. Ten thous and troops representing all tbe divi sions that participated in the Argonne engagement, were present. “Memorial Day this year has for us a peculiar significance,” said General Pershing. “Our nation has taken an Important part in the greatest war of history. With tremendous expends tures of life and treasure an end has come to the terrible conflict which has wrung the world for four years. It was a war of humanity. It was waged against militarism and a des potism and their arbitrary extension t* other lands. Thousands of brave men had fallen in defense of their fire sides, till allied hope seemed all but lost. In righteousness, more people rose and our armies in ever increasing numbers vigorously ■ threw their strength to the allies on the side of civilization. Reared in the land of freedom, these valiant men, but partly skilled in arms, came willing to give their lives to the cause without de sire for gain. By their energy, their devotion, the tide of war turned, in vaded homes were set free, and human liberty was saved from destruction. The principles which our forefathers fought to establish, the heroic dead who lie here fought to maintain, and their ideals have brought Our gift to the old world. But beyond this our own people through these sacrifices gained much hondr as individuals and as a nation. There is given us a more lofty conception of the grandeur of human liberty and with it a distinct vision of a better world. To realize this fully the foundations of society must be laid deeper and the structure more firmly built. “The times demand of us clearness iA thought and firmness in action. ‘ solidity of our nation must be the bulwark against incidious and de- atructlvs tendeneles. The glory ef owe The- - independence must remain the leayen and our flag the emblem of all that .free men love and cherish. Strength ened by the practical test of war and with an abiding faith in the Almighty, let us be steadfast in upholding the integrity of our traditions, as a guide to future generations at home and a beacon o'all who are oppressed. “It is Especially given the soldier to know clearly the price of liberty. Those to whom America pays tribute here today came with us in the full vigor of their youth. They left their homes encouraged by beloved ones who remained behind. As they w'ent to battle they were united with a holy inspiration, realizing their mighty task and their obligations to their country and they fought with unparalleled stoicism and determination. “We saw enthusiasm and confidence carry them on with irresistible force. We saw them at Cantigny and again at Chateau Thierry, at St. Mihiel and on this historic field in the decisive battle .of he war. ‘*We can again see them vondt moving forward as they steadily ad vance across the shell torn field under withering fire.

Recommendation was made by- the secretary that PfOYlaUm he made*.,in, Washington.—Although the navy department has placed itself on rec ord as being opposed to launching *aw bulling programs which would give the United States a navy “second to none in the world,” it is in favor of rushing to completion all capital ahips already authorized and of main taining temporarily at least, a force of men capable ofhandling “any emer gency which might arise.” . Secretary Daniels, continuing his testimony before the house naval af fairs committee, read a communica tion fromthe general board which rec- but even in our sorrow we are proud that they so nobly died-and our hearts swell within us to think that we fought beside them. To the memory of these heroes this sacred spot is consecrated as a shrine where future generations of men who love liberty may come to do homage. It is not for us to proclaim what they did; their enCe ~Speaks~fiaore eloquenlTy~ffian words.

He asserted that unless this number was author ized, the navy would be unable to aid materially In bringing American troops home from Europe and in addi tion would be “dangerously weak ened." Mr. Daniels emphasized that the navy department did not intend to ask .Congress at this time for a permanent navy of 250,000 rr.»vi but only for a temporary force large enough to take care of the work arising in the tran sition period between war and peace. Between now and the end of the War; the secretary said, the department wolud have time to study carefully the situation and arrive at a definite conclusion as to the country’s needs. “Never since 1866 have the cotton producers attained a flair measure of prosperity.
