Memorial Day Memorial Day has always been full of solemnity. On that day the veterans of the Civil war pay homage to the memory of the men that fell on the battlefields or were called to their reward in the years that followed the declaration of peace. The whole nation joined the old veterans in the solemn rite of prayer. This year the day will take on greater solemnity. President Wilson has called on the nation to regard the day as one of public humiliation,
prayer and fasting. The people of the nation are asked on that day to remember not only the
heroes that are gone, but also to pray for the
victory of the American armies, which will bring
a peace founded upon mercy, justice and good will. Richmond will observe the day in consonance with the request of our president. The participation of the citizens in the memorial exercises ' this year should be marked by almost universal attendance. Wayne county did its full duty in the Civil war. It is doing its duty in the present war. There are reasons enough to prompt the citizens to lay aside their vocational cares on this day and consecrate a few hours to prayer and fasting.
Few families there are in Wayne county that do not have relatives who served in the Civil war or whose sons and kin are not engaged in the present struggle. It behooves us to pay reverent respect to the fighters, young and old, present and gone. We hope it will not be taken amiss to call at
tention to the request of the committee that the graves of civilians in the cemeteries be left un
derrated until flowers have been placed on the final resting places of the veterans. It has hap
pened that graves of civilians have been banked high with flowers, and graves of the men who
braved shot and shell have had no decorations on this day, or are had been beautified with only one or two blooms. The day has been set apart for the memory of the soldiers. Surely we will not rob our flower gardens and shrubs to honor the civilians and overlook the veterans. Thoughtlessness, .we know, and not premeditation, is responsible for the practice. Let us study the proclamation of the President and enter into the spirit of the day with hearts that are responsive to its high sentiments : By the President of the United States. A PROCLAMATION Whereas, The Congress of the United States on the second day of April last adopted the following rsolution :
Resolved, By the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring) "that it being a duty peculiarly incumbent in a time of war humbly and devoutly to acknowledge our dependence on Almighty God and implore his aid and protection, the President of the United States be, and he is hereby respectfully requested to recommend a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting, to be observed by the people of the United States with religious solemnity and the offering of fervent supplications to Almighty God for the safety and welfare of our cause, his blessings
on our arms, and a speedy restoration of an honorable and lasting peace to the nations of the earth ; and 1 Whereas, It has always been the reverent habit of the people of the United States to turn in humble appeal to Almighty God for his guidance in the affairs of their common life ; Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Thursday, the thirtieth day of May, a day already freighted with sacred and stimulating memories, a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting, and do exhort my fellow citizens of all faiths and creeds to assemble on that day in their several places of worship and there, as well as in their homes, to pray Almighty God that He may forgive our sins and shortcomings as a people and purify our hearts to see and love the truth; to accept and defend all things that are just and right, and to purpose only those righteous acts and judgments which are in conformity with His will; beseeching Him that He will give victory to our armies as they fight for freedom, wisdom to those who take counsel on
our behalf in these days of dark struggle and perplexity, and steadfastness to our people to
make sacrifice to the utmost to support of what is just and true, bringing us at last the peace in which men's hearts can be at rest because it is founded upon mercy, justice and good will. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Dne in the District of Columbia, this eleventh day of May, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen and of the Independence of the United States the One Hundred and Fortysecond. WOODROW WILSON, by the President. ROBERT LANSING, Secretary of State.

T
The Medical Corps From The American Review of Reviews
HERE is one branch of the Army service for which
selected men taken from civil life are already prepared. Our great surgeons and our distinguished
medical and health authorities on entering the Army find
themselves working in their own professional sphere, can at once apply their experience in the health administration of cities and in the carrying on of important hospitals to the care and control of infectious diseases, and to the general and individual maintenance of physical stamina, among the troops. From having only four or five hundred Army surgeons not so long ago, we have expanded the service to a force of almost 20,000, of whom more than 15,000 a few weeks ago were officers on active duty. These include many hundreds of the most capable aud distinguished surgeons and practitioners of the country. They have not entered the Army to engage in a new profession, but to employ knowledge and skill along
the lines of their life work. Many of these men are
known not only throughout the United States, but among
the leaders of their profession in all European countries.
Some of them are teaching the surgeons of England and France many new and improved methods. This is the one part of our Army that is already highly trained and
proficient in its own specialty, and not surpassed.
Besides the active medical officers, who will soon number more than 20,000, there are in the medical de
partment already more than 40,000 nurses and aids, and 200,000 enlisted men. Moreover, during periods of ill
ness and treatment the doctors are in command of the sick and wounded; and in so large an army as ours has grown to be, those under medical care must always be a considerable number. One does not like to estimate how many of these men the Army Medical Department may soon have to accept. What we do know is thatjthis branch of the military service is going to spare no effort to ileal the sick and restore the wounded. Most of these thousands of doctors are making personal sacrifices in leaving thsir homes and professional business, aDd accepting the small pay that the Government provides. There is no future in the army for them, and when the war is over, they muse try to re-establish themselves; and this will in many cases be difficult. Great work has been done by men like Dr. Franklin H. Martin and Dr. Charles H. Mayo in assisting Surgeon-General Gorgas to build up the immense Medical Reserve Corps.
DINNER S TOR IE S At the burning of a provision shop, the crowd helped themselves freely. One man grasped a huge cheese as his share of the plunder. Rising up with it. he found himself face to face with a policeman and with admirable presence of mind put the plunder into the officer's arms, saying: "You had better take care of that,

of your loss," said the sympathetic
clerk.
"That's always the way with men,"
sighed Mrs. Bobbin. "Always grudging a poor woman the chance of getting a bit of money these hard times."
Moment
"THE KAISER'S TALK TO HELL" The Kaiser called the devil up On the telephone one day The girl at Central listened to All they had to say. "Hello," she head the Kaiser's voice, "Is old man Satan home?" Just tell him this is Kaiser Bill That wants him on the phone. The devil said, "Hello" to Bill, And Bill said, "How are you? I'm running here a hell on earth. So tell me what to do." "What can I do?" the devil said. "My dear old Kaiser Bill? If there '8 anything that I -can do To help yu I sure will." The Kaiser said, "Now listen, And I will try and tell The way that I am running On earth a modern Hell." I've saved for this for many years And I've started out to kill, That will be a modern job You leave to Kaiser Bill. My army went through Belgium,
Shooting women and children down, We tore up all the country And blew up all the towns. My Zepps dropped bombs on cities, Killing both old and young. And those the Zeppelins didn't get We've taken out and hung. I started out for Paris, With aid of poisonous gas, The Belgians dam 'em stopped up, And wouldn't let us pass.
My submarines are devils Why, you should see them fight They go sneaking through the seas And sink a ship at night. I was running things to suit me 'Til a year or so ago, When a man named Woodrow Wilson Wrote me to go slow. He said to me, 'Dear William, We don't want to make you sore, So be sure and tell your U-boats To sink our ships no more.' I did not listen to him And he's coming after me
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea. Now that's why I called you, Satan, For I want advice from you, I knew that you would tell me Just what I ought to do." "My dear old Kaiser William, There's not much for me to tell, For the Yanks will make it hotter Than I can for you in hell. I've been a mean old Devil, But not half as mean as you, And the minute that you get here I'll give my job to you. I'll be ready for your coming. And I'll keep the fires all bright, And I'll have your room all ready When the Yanks begin to fight. For the hoys in Blue will get you, I have nothing more to tell; Hang up the phone and get your hat And meet me here in HELL."
By HAL POD It so happened that Sergeant Wright, the local recruiting officer, was wanted by some one at the boxing carnival over at the Coliseum Monday night. The information was imparted to a colored announcer who managed to get things twisted up a bit when he announced from the platform that somebody wanted to see Surgeon Wright, the truant officer.
"Excuse our dust, Berlin or bust,
was the painted placard that greeted us from one of the large army trucks
that passed through the city Tuesday.
What the use of dreaming that your
motberin-law is shot, because it makes you mad when you wake up and find
she's not?
About the best subject for debate I can think of at the present time is, "Resolved: That dogs and hens are
more important than gardens."
And say, by the way, that third
Liberty loan went 6ver at just the
time when bills were coming due for Easter bonnets. Lordy, man, whatTl we do on the next one?
The other day I went into one of those high class cafes over at Indianapolis, and not being conversant with the language of the menu card I merely pointed to one of the first items on the bill o! fare and told the waiter I'd like to have some of It. The waiter said he was sorry but the orchestra was playing it at that particular moment, and wouldn't I like to have some Yaka Hikey Hula Dula instead. It seems that every newspaper man that has died in the last five year has died suddenly. I'm beginning to get kind of nervous.

On several occasions recently the queen of England has pitched in with rolled up sleeves to wash dishes.
Remember the first words you ever
wrote on a typewriter: "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." We have come to the conclusion that there is only one person connected with every film company who knows how to .write. We see a letter flashed on the screen. It is a letter from Frank to Minnie telling her to meet him at the Pennsylvania station at half-past 12 and elope to Scranton. A few minutes later there is flashed a letter from Minnie to Frank telling him she will be there. The writing is exactly the same. Later on there is a letter from Minnie's father to the detective agency in the same hand
writing. Recently we saw a letter
from a German spy and the answer
from a Turkish army officer in the same handwriting. We wonder if
anybody else has noticed this phenomenon. We never see one of the Scotch kilties but we wonder if, by any chance, somebody else wears the pants in his family. England now has a pig controller. The United States one to control the two-legged variety. O. O. Mclntyre, a hilarous friend of ours, has just discovered that William Shakespeare purchased a bogus coat of arms. Next somebody will probably discover that Bill did not write his own stuff. There is nothing like finding out these things in time.

Mother's clubs and child welfare or

WASHINGTON, May 15 The state department has ruled that no passports are required for tourist travel to the Hawaiian islands. Travelers, however, will be required to obtain certificates from immigration officials at ports of departures before making the trip.

Th9 track meet took place this morning, girls from all classes participating in a program of twelve field and track events. The Tree Day exercises were different this year in that no play was given on the campus.

The relief I have gained' since I started taking Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment is remarkable and I am confident that this medicine is going to briag me complete relief. "I'm only too glad to give this statement for Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment because I want others who are suffering like I was to know what helped me."
