CHURCH PLANS PROGRAM FOR MEMORIAL DAY Male Descendants of Civil War Veterans Urged to Participate. A special “victory” service In connection with the celebration of Memorial day will be given for the veterans of all wars in which the United States has participated at the First Baptist Church, Sunday evening. It was announced today. While the service fits into the program of tribute to the dead which the G. A. R„ American Legion, Sons of Veterans, United Spanish War Veterans and other patriotic organizations are planning, it Is more properly to be considered as homage to the living who carried on the Ideals for which the dead gave up their lives, it was stated. Dr. Frederick E. Taylor, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Is preparing a special sermon for the service. The Marion County council of the legion Is sponsoring It. ‘ E. S. Shumaker, division commander of the Indiana Sons of Veterans, issued a statement in which he urged the male descendants of veterans of the Civil war to drop all other engagements and participate in the Memorial day services. The statement is as follows: “For fifty-five years tbe thirtieth of May has been observed as a memorial In honor of Civil War veterans who have gone to Join their comrades around the great campfires above. On this day their surviving comrades hold memorial services In every city and practically In every town and hamlet In the land and then go to the cemeteries and lovingly strew with flowers the graves of their departed comrades. "As Indiena division commander of the Sons of Veterar-s, an organisation made up of the lineal male descendants of honorably discharged Union veterans of the Civil War, I want to call tbe attention of all snch descendants, whether members of the order or not, to tbe fact that the rapidly depleting ranks of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic makes it highly Important that their own sons and grandsons shall this year as never before turn out on Memorial day and aid In every wjy possible In making this day the greatest patriotic day of the year. There are several hundred thousand descendants of Civil War

heroes living in the State of Indiana and to them I am making fhls appeal. “I want to urge updn every person in the State, whose father, or great-grand-father, served his country in defense of the flag during the Civil w-r, that next Monday he shall lay aside all other engagements and attend memorial services in honor of our soldier dead; that where parades are engaged in by the Grand Army of the Republic that every male descendant of a veteran will march in such parade, serving as escort, where possible, to the Grand Army: and that every assistance that the Grand Army may desire be given in. cemeteries to mark with flags and to strew with flowers the gTaves of the fallen comrades of the days of the Civil war. And that In every other way possible the members of the GranJr Army of the Republic shall be made to understand that their own flesh and blood will never allow Memorial day to be diverted from its. original purpose, and that after the Grand Ariry is no more, their sons, and grandsons and gr-at-grandsons, in all succeeding generatios, shall keep fresh and green in the memories of rising generations the illustrious deeds of valor and patriotism of the heroes of the Civil war who saved this Nation from being rent asunder by the armed hosts of rebellion.” GREAT DEEDS ACHIEVED BY NAVY IN WAR (Continued From Page One.) sands ever possessed by any navy, was a tremendous task, carried out with a success that surprised even our allies. It well merited the tribute of Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British admiralty, who said: ••The dauntless determination which the United States has displayed in creating a huge, trained body of seaman •out of landsmen is one of the most striking accomplishments of the war. Had it not been effectively done one would have thought it impossible.” GREAT WORK AT CAMPS. But only those who did it can know of the work required to build huge camps like Great Lakes, near Chicago: Hampton Roads, and others—to take raw recruits, most of whom had never seen the ocean, aif.l in a few months train them as seamen, gunners, signalmen, aviators, and for all the many duties of naval service. And, remember, this was

all done not in years, but in eighteen months. The Navy manned and operated over 2,000 vessels, more than five times as many as were in naval service previous to the war. The larger number were troopships, cargo transports, patrol vessels and district craft. But the number of naval vessels and auxiliaries in service at the armistice was 774, as compared with 342 on April 6, 3917. Between Jan. 1, 1917, and Oct. 1, 1919, 645 vessels were built. Most of these were, or course, submarine chasers and mine sweepers, but the number included three battleships, 139 destroyers. 57 submarines and 52 Eagle patrol boats. BIG SHIP YARDS BUILT. To build these vessels new facilities had to be created—new ship yards, new plants to build engines and forgings and all the complicated machinery to propel and operate vessels. Early In the war we contracted for every destroyer the yards could build. Then, In October, 1917, we began enlarging old plants and building new ones, to produce 150 more destroyers. By that time we had contracted for 270 of these swift and capable vessels, the greatest enemy of the submarines. At Squantum, Mass., we built the largest destroyer plant in the world, and in six months after ground was broken in that swampy location I witnessed the laying of the keels of five destroyers there In one day. Before the war, from twenty months to two years were required to complete a destroyer. We turned out some of them during the war in a fraction of that time The Ward, at Mare Island, was launched in seventeen and one-half days after its tyjel was laid, and commissioned in seventy-one days. Others were completed in a few months. But we wero just reaching the peak of production when hostilities ended. BUILT 400 "SUB” CHASERS. The Navy built more than 400 submarine chasers, fifty of which were turned over to the French government and fifty more built on Its order. The Navy converted 1,597 merchant vessels, yachts and other craft for naval purposes. This work was continuous all during the war. Navy yards and plants were enlarged and turned out an enormous amount of repair and conversion work, as well as building ships of all types. The number of Navy yard erai ployes was more than doubled, running , to nearly 80.000. The Navy built up an aviation force of I more than 45,000, of whom 19,000 served ■ in Europe, where we had fifty-one aviaj tion units*, including twenty-seven bases i and stations, in operation, on the coasts

of France, England, Ireland and Italy, and In the Azores. An aerial patrol ol the United States Atlantic coast from Nov Scotia to the gulf was maintained. The Nary' built and operated its own aircraft factory at Philadelphia. At the end of hostilities our aviation equipment Included 1,835 flulng boats, 242 land planes, fifteen dirigibles, 205 kite balloons and ten free balloons. We had sent to Europe 570 aircraft before the armistice. The Navy transported to Europe in naval transports 911,000 American troops, and brought back from Europe some 1,700,000. Os the 2,079,880 American troops sent to Europe 1,720,360 —82.75 per cent—sailed under escort of United States naval vessels. The Navy built, transported and operated with the American and French armies six naval railway batteries of four-teen-inch guns, the most powerful artillery used by the allies on the western front, and the largest guns that, up to that time, had ever been placed on mobile mounts. The Navy supplied 5,352 guns to 1,863 vessels, of which guns 2,502 were of tbree-inch caliber or larger. In addition it furnished 326 guns of various calibers to the allies. The navy organized and operated the most extensive radio system in existence, maintaining communication with Europe to the east and Asia to the west, and extending north and south from Panama to Alaska. High-powered stations were built at Annapolis, San Diego, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and Cavite, P. 1., and the navy erected in France the most pow-

erful wireless station in the world. The naval communication service handled in a single year, by wire and radio, 71,347,860 words. The Navy carried out a shore-construc-tion program, involving over $346,000,000, including the building of a score of training camps, with the largest naval training station in the world at Great Lakes, 111., with a capacity of 50,000 men ; fleet operating base at Hampton Roads, Va.; a vast projectile and armor plate plant at Charleston, W. Va.; the largest of mine-loading stations at Yorktown; dry docks at Norfolk, Philadelphia, Pearl Harbor and other points, Immense machine shops and storage warehouses, and the erection in Washington of the largest of concrete office structures, having a floor space of forty-one acres. The appropriations for the Navy amounted to $3,692,354,32-1, of which $334,360,446 was returned to the treasury. This vast sum was expended with such economy, the Nary securing materials, fuel and supplies at s6 much lower prices than generally prevailed, that there has been no charge whatever of graft or wastefulness.
