MEMORIAL ORATION President Rooevelt Expresses Beautiful Sentiments PRAISE FOR BLUE AND GRAY The Man Behind the BJ1ot Counts for More in Civil Life-Pays Trib ute to Lee and Jackson Along With Grant and Sherman. National Memorial Day was more generally observed than usual this year, especially in Southern' cities. The greatest interest centered in the observance of the occasion at Ports mouth, Virginia, where President Roosevelt delivered the address oi the day. The Day at Portsmouth. Portsmouth. Va., Special--Presi dent Roosevelt joined the people of Virginia in the beautiful and impres sive tribute to the nations dead. Un der the auspices of the Army and Navy Union the organization of offi cers and enlisted men of the United States Army and Navy, the President. delivered the Memorial Day address here to an audience numbering thou sands. The President said in nart. Prcsident's- Address. This day is hollowed and sacred in our history, for on this day through out the land we meet to pay homage to the memory of the vajiant dead who fell in the great civil war. No> other fhen deserve so well of this country as those to whom we oave it that we now have a country. More over, the men to whose valor we owe it that the ~Jnion was preserved have left us a country reunited id fact as well a; in name. They have left us the memory of the great deeds. and the self-devotion alike of' the men who wora the blue and of the men who wore the gray in the con test where brother fought brother with equal Leurage. with equal sin cerity of condion.--with equal fid elitv to a-igh ideal, as it was given to each to see that ideal. Moreover, it is a peculiar pleasure to speak to-dcv under'the auspices of the Army anm Navy Union, of the - Union which "s meant to include the officers and enlisted men of the re gular forces o fthe United States. Exactly as there is no other body of men to whom in the past we have owed so much as to the veterans of the vivil war. so there is no other body of men among all of our eit izens- of to-day who as a -whcle d serve quite as well of the country as: the oficeers and enlisted men of the Army and the Navy of the United States. Every man. who has served well and 'faitfifully,'afloat or ashore,. in the service of the United States has shown that he nosesses certairs qualities wvhich entitle him in a pec uliar degree to the respeet of all his: fellow-citizens. This audience is comnosed largely of veterans of the vivil war, largely of men who have served in or are serving~ in the Army and the Navy of the United States. They are concern ed not only with the duties of the ' soldier and the sailor. but with the duties of the civilian. with all mat ters affecting the plain; everyday citi zen as he does his everyday duties. For we must always remember that n our 'eeun try our Army and N'avy are an army and navy made up of vounteers: all our forces arc volun teers: our regulars, afloat and( ashore. are merely our fellow-eitizer.s who of their own :'ree will have taken nu this particular task. The task once through the rtunto th -body of our citizenship: and netly as the eficiency of our mili-tary service de pends chiefly upon the efilee:cy of the average enlisted man, so the effi cienes of the nation as a whole de ped chiefly upon the way in which the averagre man , erformns his plain,. everyday duities. We can uot too highly honor the memorv ci the leaders in the civir war-of G-ant and Lee, of Sherman and Johns m, of Stonewall Ja esoi and Sheridan. of. Farraget andl of the captains who fought ander nd' against him. But after all the r-aru upon whom~ the chief credit must at was the plain man in the ranks. -he man! in blue or in gray who went in? to see the war throuch, and1 who did see it ihreag~h.
