Titting Tribute to American Dead. Paris, May 30.-America's war dead in Europe were eulogized and their graves in all parts of France were decorated today, the second memorial day since the close of the great struggle. American flags float ed into the hreeze over the resting places of more than 70,000 soldiers and allied organizations joined the Americans in France in services to their memory, while throughout the republic detachments of horizon blue clad poilus acted as guards of honor at the cemeteries where lie those who fought beside them on the field of battle. 7 The American Legion with the army and navy patriotic societies, co operated with the newly formed mern orial day committee headed by Am bassador Wallac? to decorate the lit tle mounds in 497 burying places scat tered along the battle front from the , Hhine to the Atlantic. At 125 places there were single graves of Ameri can service men but memorial day services were conducted over each of these lone graves, some of which are in southern Italy and others in Spain. The French and others of the allies took part in the ceremonies virtually everywhere, while Marshal Petain, the French commander in .chief and other men of prominence from the French army and navy and civil life delivered addresses. In some places the French women of the locality made the day almost one of .their own, bringing tokens of their remembrance to place- on the graves of the youths who fought be side their boys in the dark days of two years ago. In all the Catholic .churches in Paris, in the Jewish syna gogues, American churches, there -were religious observations of Ameri ca's day of tribute to her dead and in the provinces there were number less ceremonies organized by the par ish priests of the population gener ally. In Alsace a children's chorus marched from one of the burying ground to another to sing beside the graves of fallen Americans, while their sisters and mothers, with dead of their own to mourn, placed flow ers or grass wreathes on the mounds beneath which lay the American dead. For the American army of occu pation, Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen spoke at the great military cemetery in Romagne-Sous-Montfaucon, where more than 21,000 Americans are bu ried and told of the great battle in which fell most of them to whom he did honor. Speaking for the French govern ment at Suresnes cemetery outside Paris, Marshal Petain saluted the dead of America and there also Am bassador Wallace voiced America's message to her lost sons. London, May 30.-America's mern orial day for her soldier dead had an unprecedented observance in the British Isles today. The graves of more than 2,500 American soldiers and sailors buried in Britist soil were adorned with wreathes and Ameri can flags distributed from surviving comrades in the- American Legion and the members of other Anglo American organizations. Services were held at the graves in the cemeteries at Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, but the most significant homage was paid at St. Margaret's church, the official church of the com, mons, where Canon Carnegie, sub . dean of Westminister Abbey, lauded the deeds of the American hero dead. He gave assurances that English ap preciation of the day's meaning was one of "more than sympathetic sen timent." John W. Davis, the American am bassador, read the spiritual lesson. The lord chief justice, the Earl of Reading, Maj. Gen. Sir John Head lam, Robert H. Skinner, the Ameri can consul general, and many other prominent Americans and English men attended. A party of Confeder ate veterans occupied the front pews. Services were held in Queenstown in memory of the Lusitania victims. A large American flag was spread over the Deflowered graves. The bish op of Cloyne the acting American consul, John E. McAndrews and Ad miral Sir Reginald Tupper and other military and naval officers attended. After the services a squadron of British soldiers sounded "The Last Post." Services were held at Islay, He brides in memory of 500 victims of torpedoed ships. Bar Le Due, France, May 30.-Ro mange cemetery, where more than 21,000 American .and French soldiers are buried, had American and French flags floating over each grave today when Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen of the American Army of Occupation and other notable persons held ser vices for the Americans who died in the war and rest in sight of the Ar gonne Forest. American troops in Coblenz .pay ing honor to their fallen comrades were encamped on the field* where some of them had fought. French civ il and military authorities and repre sentatives of patriotic organizations delivered addresses and solemn. as surances were given that the graves of the allied soldiers would be cared for and decked "with flowers that grew in the fields where the blood of our sons have flowed." Gardening to Beat H. C. L. Clemson College, May 31.-Ordi narily the average Southern garden is a spring garden-a one-season is a spring garden, a one-season af fair, few vegetables being available any other'time. Few people seem to realize the possibliities of the all season garden. The value of such a garden normally is inestimable, but under present high and increasing prices and the practical certain great shortage of food stuffs, the all .season garden is a god-send. There fore, suggest Extension Service hor ticulturists, it is imperative that all gardeners, large or small, look ahead and arrange a rotative system to util ize all possible space with succession crops, consecutive'plantings, etc. The four essentials of good gardening thorough preparation, careful plant ing, frequent shallow cultivation and consecutive cropping, must be kept in mind to get maximum results. What to Plant. During late May and June plant vegetables for late summer and fall use: tomatoes, cabbage, collards, squash, (striped cushaws), beans Southern prize turnips, and a few rows of corn for canning. For best results in dry weather, small seed should be sown in shallow furrows on the level and firmed into the soil by rolling a wheelbarrow or wheel hoe over them. Make consecutive plantings of the early maturing varieties of beans, beets, corn, cabbage, tomatoes and mustard. Some good varities to plant are: snap beans-Bountiful, or Stringless Greenpod ; sugar corn, -Stowell's Evergreen; lima beans; -F?rdhook, or Henderson's Bush Lima ; cucumbers-Green Prolific, or Fordhook Pickling; peas-Black Eye; pumpkin-Striped Cushaw or Large Cheese. Also make plantings of Succession and Charleston. Wake field cabbage and Georgia Southern collards for transplanting to the field during late summer. Make preparation for planting du ring late June of early July, the sec ond crop of Irish potatoes. The Look out Mountain is the most desirable variety for fall planting but the Peer less, Green Mountain, Triumph or Rural New Yorker may be substitut ed. The ground should also be pre pared at this time for July and Au gust planting of celery and ruta bagas, both valuable crops for fall and winter use. Continue to plant sweet potatoes, as this crop will make after the grain harvest. Where plants are not avail able, use 6- to 8-inch one-leaf vine cuttings.

Washington, May 29.-The/ soldier relief bill was passed today by the house, 289 to 92 and sent to the sen ate. Under the program that brought the final showdown, a two-thirds vote in support of the measure was j necessary for its passage and it was obtained after a fight, during which test votes had indicated defeat of the measure. Republicans voting for the bill in eluded: Slemp, Virginia; and Sells and Taylor of Tennessee. Democrats for the bill included: Bell, Brand, Byrns, Tennessee; Crisp, Davis, Tenness?e; Doughton, Fisher, Godwin, Harrison, Hoey, Hull Tennessee;. Larsen, Lee, Georgia; Robinson, North Carolina; Sims, Stedman, Upshaw, Vinson, Weaver, Wise, Wright. Democrats against included: Bland, Virginia; Byrnes, South Carolina, Dominick, Drewry, Flood, Garrett, Holland, Mann, South C?fb lina; Montague, Moon, Tennessee; Moore, Virginia; Overstreet, Pad gett, Stevenson, Stoll, Whaley, Woods, Virginia. Attacks on the suspension pro; were made by Representatives Mahn, Republican, Illinois, and Representa tive Clark of Missouri, the Democrat ic leader, which Chairman Campbell, of the rules committee, and others de fended it as the only plan for forc ing action on the bill. Protesting against what he called a "gag rule," Mr. Mann declared that if the* Republicans could not bring up the legislation so as to permit amendment, which was impossible un der suspension, they then acknowl edged impotency and incapacity." Mr. Clark denounced the suspen sion as "the most outrageous ma neuver ever made in the house," add ing that "the statement that Demo crats are against the soldier legis lation is a lie." All that was desired, he said, was opportunity to amend the bill's taxing provisions. "The time has come to unmask," replied Mr. Campbell, declaring that votes against the suspension pro gram were votes against the soldier bill. Interrupting him, some Demo crats protested chet he was "misrep resenting" their attitude. Arguing that the relief for the ex service men was just, Mr. Campbell declared that some Democrats "op-j j pose it because 375,000 negro boys will come under it," while the opposi tion of some other members of the the house, who were not specified, was said to be to "taxing ce gamblers in Wall street."
