A Red Cross Nurse Beside the Kaiser's Gold Cup. The war fund of the Red Cross is to be considerably boosted by the gift of a solid gold cup that was presented to an American by the kaiser. It will be melted down into bullion and the proceeds devoted to Red Cross work. The kaiser cup was awarded to an American yatchman for winning a trans-Atlantic yacht race to Kiel.

G. A. R. and Sons of Veterans, the Boy Scouts and the children who took part in the exercises at the Coliseum. Hen.-y U. Johnson Speaks. Henry U. Johnson, presiding as chairman of the meeting at the Coliseum, spoke briefly, comparing the wars of the past in which America has been engaged, with the greatest struggle in the history of the world in which the nation is now involved. "All other wars fade into insignificance in comparison to this great struggle," Johnson said. "My only fear is that we are liable to make a premature peace. This is a menace we are facing and must do all in our power to see that it does not result disastrously. "We might make a peace with Germany which would in reality be victory for us, but W2 might be too gen erous. Such a peace would probably result in the withdrawal of German troops from territory now occupied, and their return to German soil, but it would really be only an armstice of temporary duration. Sooned or later Germany would again try to establish its military rule. "When we make peace we must be absolutely certain that it will be a peace for all time to come. We must not deal too generously with such a people as the Germans have shown themselves to be. We must never apain accept them into the sister-hood of nations. They must atone for all the sin and frightfulness for hich they are responsible. Must Not Es Allowed. "A military form, of government must not be permitted. Their war ships must not be allowed to over run the seas. ' "Our fight must be wased until we have ground Germany beneath our heel and thus assured the world of perpetual peace and democracy." The speaker cited the events leading up to and causing the great Civil war, and said that we shall always honor the veterans of 1861. "We shall continue to pay them tribute in the years to come," he said. "And when to the ranks of the veterans of 1S61 and the Spanish-

American war, have been added the veterans of this great war, we shall not cease to pay them equal tribute. Those who have fought for America have always fought on the side of righteousness, and they are all en

titled to equal honor." Rev. Somerville Light delivered the Memorial Day address. He said: "I begin to speak today in full realization and appreciation of the fact that I am at that particular spot in the plant known as Richmond, Ind., U. S. A. The capitol of good old Wayne

county which never fails to put across on a 100 per cent basis of efficiency all drives conducted for the licking of the Kaiser, and the making of the world safe for democracy. All hail to loyal, royal Wayne county, Indiana, always presenting a bold front to the foe." Rev. Light paid a fitting tribute to the soldiers of the past, present and future, who have struggled for Christian democracy for the world. Will Live Forever. "Lincoln hitched his wagon to a star," said Rev. Light, "and every year we follow that national star in honor of our dead soldiers. They fought for humanity, liberty and free government. "The United States government eclipses all others and will certainly continue to do so for all time. "The Republic of America, bought

with the blood and the lives of heroes J of the Revolution, will live forever. I

can pay as they were the saviours of our nation. The hopes of the rising generation come from the heroes of the past. The sons of liberty of 1S61 and 1S65 solved the problem of the ages. Owe Debt to Heroes. "As American citizens we should

feel that liberty and freedom

possess we owe to these heroes. We

gather here today to pay fitting tribute to these dead heroes." The Women's Relief corps and the Spanish-American war veterans were praised by the speaker. "We now turn about face and see before us the mighty, soul-stirring present," Rev Light said. "Back of this present and looking over its shoulder with pleasing eye is a most wonderful future. "We are in the midst of a great struggle for world democracy, world liberty and world redemption. "The boys in blue represent a vanishing line. In a few years none will be left to represent them on occasions like this. For a time the Spanish-American war veterans will hold the line after the heroes of 1861 have passed on. Then the khaki boys of the present day will come marching toward us with the same spirit as that

! manifested by the Union soldiers

and the Spanish-American war veterans. Contending for a larger liberty for the whole world our soldiers of the past fought for the salvation of the nation. Our boys of the present are fighting for the salvation of the world. Onward March of Liberty. "Their struggles have to do with the onward march of liberty; it is a forward move which no power can stay. In this great crisis every citizen should give loyal support to every effort made to win the war. The Liberty loan, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the thrift and war savings stamps, in fact every such move to win the victory, is worthy of your whole-souled support. "I call attention to the things for

which this struggle stands. Death to autocratic foreignism; death to foreign citizenship on American soil; death to every flag and every language which does not wave or speak in harmony with the flags of the allies which demand a peace in keeping with tle spirit which will make the world safe for democracy; death to destructive pacifism; and life ev

erlasting to that pacifism which does not believe in war, but will nevertheless fight to the last ditch in bringing about world peace for all time to come. "And lastly there must be death to any spirit in America or elsewhere which is contrary to the spirit breathed out of the soul of Abraham Lincoln when he said: 'Strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, his widow and his orphans. And to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.' "

.v"e I Germans a hot reception. Bayonets

on the end of American rifles flashed white and then red almost as quickly as it takes to tell it and the enemy party was soon overpowered. During the engagement, a big German non-commissioned officer, who directed the enemy party, stood on a parapet. He raised his arm to hurl a grenade at an American soldier, but he never threw it. Another American, who had come through a severe gas attack, last Monday morning, reached the German with his bayonet. Tiie grenade fell from the dying German's hand and exploded harmlessly on the parapet. Gas Bombardment Proceeds. The gas bombardment that preceded the infantry advances by the enemy began at 12:40 o'clock this morning. The Germans had brought up additional 8-inch projectors to replace those that had been destroyed by the American guns Monday night, and mustard, phosphorus and chlorine shells fell by' the hundreds on the American positions. In one small area alone 300 of these arrived. Many

of the Americans us a result began to show the effects of slight gassing and were harboring a large grudge aainst the enemy on this account. When the gas shells began to fall there was barely any wind making it certain that the fumes would remain In the localities where the Germans placed them, and the men in the American trenches hoped the enemy would follow up the shelling with an infantry attack. The hopes of the resentful defenders were fully realized and the result completely satisfied the Americans, for in one trench at daybreak this morning lay the nine dead Germans who perished in the bayonet attack, while to the east where the men in the trenches had gone to work with their machine guns, the ground was dotted with gray ciad bodies. Many of the machine gunners, still wearing their gas masks, stuck to their guns throughout the preliminary bombardment and when they saw the advancing forms of the Germans just outside the American wire they cut loose with their fire.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Wednesday, May 29 Lieutenant Douglas Campbell of California, rescued a crippled British bombing machine from two German airplanes which attacked it near the Toul sector today. Two patrols of American pursuit airplanes had gone out to protect a large squadron of British bombing machines returning from a raid into Germany. Just before they had crossed behind the American lines, one of the British machines became separated

from the party and was attacked by

BRITISH FAIL IN HEROIC RESISTANCE

By Associated Press) . WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 29. One of the most brilliant actions Monday was carried out by a British territorial division at Craonne. The Germans threw their heaviest forces against the region between Craonne and Bermerlcourt, where the British were holding the line, and against the French along the Chemin Des Dames. The British divison made a most gallant effort to stem the onflowing tide and even vigorously counter-attacked against the fearful odds. The attempt although carried out with spirit, failed because of the entrance of enemy tanks on the flanks. One brigade of thi3 division fought a heroic rear guard action at Ville-Aux-Bois, southeast of Craonne, side by side with French territorials. The allied troops resisted the Germans until the last extremity.

Scores of Americans were in danger, but only a few were injured by flying glass. Several civilians and a French nurse were killed. Fighting in gas masks the American troops east of Luneville have checked a German attack under cover of gas waves. The Germans retreated under a heavy fire from American machine guns, suffering severely. At one point fourteen Germans penetrated the American trenches. Nine were killed, one died of wounds and four are prisoners. The Germans apparently are preparing for another attack against the American sector northwest of Toul.

TRIBUTE IS PAID TO MEN OVERSEAS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 30 Memorial day, this year carrying a deeper meaning because of the fuller participation of the United States in the war and more significant because of the new American graves in France, was observed today by the American people as "a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting" in accordance with the proclamation of President Wilson issued in response to a resolution of congress asking that such a day be set aside. While in no manner was the honor usually shown to the veterans of past wars lessened, yet the thought of the nation largely was centered on the battlefields of France where the German military machine is engaged in another drive against the forces of democracy.

quiet, the American sector northwest of Toul suddenly has become very active. Last night and today the Germans threw over hundreds of shells of all sizes and kept up a destructive and harassing fire. The American guns have been just as busy and are giving the enemy more than he sends. The artillery duel continues 6trong tonight. It is not improbable that the Ger

mans have some plans in which they

may employ their infantry. German airplanes also were very active today, but as a strong wind was blowing from Germany and American aviators were constantly on the alert, few enemy machines ventured across the line. Those ttjat did were promptly drivea back by the Ameri

as the recent news that the Americans had carried out successfully their first offensive action. Further news of the German offensive was awaited with a feeling among high officials here that the enemy's attempt to beat down the allied resistance would fail and that the onrush of the kaiser's armies would be stopped. In Washington the spirit of the president's proclamation was generally carried out The president planned to attend church services this morning and this afternoon it was expected he will be present at the annual services at Arlington cemetery.
