General Pershing
Hakes Memorial Address
Romange, France, June 1.—“Fare
well. dear comrades. 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. They cheer and gal

ommended that the 10 battleships and

1916 program should be completed as
aoon as possible.
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. But it Is for us to uphold the
conception of duty, honor and coun
try for which they fought and for
which they died4 It is for us, the liv
ing. to carry forward their purpose
and make fruitful their sacrifice.”
the 1920 appropriation bill for a navy
of 250.000 men, only 23,000 less than
are now in the service. 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.
