MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED : HERE

WITH SPIRIT INTENSIFIED BY WAR

TRIBUTE IN CONGRESS

(By- Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 30. With

deepened solemnity, the first Memorial day after the close of the great world conflict was observed in the na

tional capitol today, the nation's

heroes of earlier wars sharing its trib

ute with those who fell in the struggle

to maintain the liberties and ideals

lor which their forefathers fought. Memorial exercises were held at Arlington National cemetery, the United States soldiers' home and at other points under the auspices of the G. A. It, United Spanish War Veterans and allied organizations, which participated in the annual parade earlier in the day. A special committee decorated "the tomb of the unknown dead" at Arlington as a tribute to American soldiers who fell in France. Special exercises also were held at the mast of the U. S. S. Maine at Arlington. Vice-President Marshall was the speaker at exercises at Battle Ground National Cemetery conducted under the auspices of the G. A. R. and Representative Campbell of Kansas, spoke at the soldiers' home exercises. Gratitude Expressed. With the senate not in session, the members of the house devoted the day to paying tributes "to those who served or gave others to the service of the country in the great war." Many were the expressions of gratitude solemnly pronounced by representatives during consideration of a resolution tendering the thanks of congress to the new patriots. While business had been discarded in the senate and many of its members had gone to nearby cities to deliver Memorial day orations, the house (Continued on Page Thirteen)

ICHMOND and the surrounding communities observed Memorial Day Friday with services, parades and other manifestations of respect for the heroes of American wars in a manner appropriate to a sentiment intensified by

the conclusion of the recent ordeal the world has just experienced. Never have so many hundreds of persons visited the eight cemeteries of this section, nor has there ever been such keen feeling apparent regarding the meaning of Memorial Day and the added significance of its observance this year. Hundreds of people boarded the Richmond street cars today bound for Earlham cemetery and laden with blossoms of every hue. It was agreed that

AM EROXGEN, May 30. Since the former German Emperor has been acquainted with the peace terms he has become even more invisible to the outer world. The only possibility of catching a glimpse of him is when be crosses the drawbridge twice daily, going to and returning from his log sawing in the garden of the castle, and then he is within sight for about four seconds. Replying to repeated request for a declaration, the former Emperor sent the following words : "Tell the Associated Press that my attitude is unchanged." The messenger. Gen. von Estonff.

gave the correspondent no hope that anything was likely to be given out for publication. It is virtually Impossible to glean anything regarding the former Emperors life or plans, as everybody in the castle Is under strict orders to maintain silence. Cares Only About Himself. Apparently there is no excitment amongst the members of his suite over the peace terms. The only portion of which interests the imperial exile is the clause relating to himself. The former Empress appears to be more affected than her husband, and is evidently under the Impression that the powers will succ'eed In bringing him before a tribunal. There have been no extraordinary movements about the castle lately, the only visitor

being Dr. Kraige, who came: from Ber

lin in connection witn tne liquidation

of the personal estates of the Hohen-

zcllerns in Berlin.

graves in Earlham, Lutherania, St Marys, St. Andrew's, Boston, Orange, Elkhorn, King's and Ridge cemeteries had never before looked so beautiful, and been more carefully decorated. Automobiles left the city all day loaded with flowers Intended for graves. As the season has been late the number of flowers used was remarkable. Salute is Fired.

w nen tannam cemetery stood a bower of flags and flowers, and the decorating committee had completed work this .morning, a salute was fired j and taps sounded by a squad of Span-1 ish-American war veterans, who have paid this homage for several years on Memorial day. Through the efforts of a decoration committee, the Coliseum presented an unusually attractive appearance. Snowball and spring blossoms were used with American flags, and on the stage stood pictures of the three war presidents of the United States Abraham Lincoln, A. M. McKinley and Woodrow Wilson. Veterans of the three wars were seated on the stage and on the lower floor of the Coliseum. The east half of the lower floor was clear of chairs and here several dozen email children drilled. A snow white tomb, with the words, "In Memoriam" on one side and hung with flowers on the other, stood at the east end of the lower floor directly

back of which was an improvised grave

covered with flags and flowers. Crowd Hears Sparks A representative and large crowd

gathered at 2 o'clock for the memorial ceremonies in the Coliseum, when

Judge Will M. Sparks of Rushville,

gave the principal address. His speech

was an unusually appealing Memorial Day address. The first event of the afternoon was the parade which moved from the

courthouse shortly after 1:30 o'clock.

The NC-4 sent word by radio that she would be unable to make Plymouth tonight, but the message of her commander seemed to indicate that he intended flying somewhat further on his Journey during the day, as he asked the American naval authorities what was the best port for him to land the seaplane within 300 miles and requested that the destroyers be kept at their stations along the route.

Rickenbacker Cancels Engagement To Speak Here Saturday Evening on the Orders of His Physician Captain Eddie Rickenbacker cancelled his engagement today to speak at the Coliseum here Saturday evening. A sore throat, which does not permit him to speak above a whisper, and physical exhaustion were the reasons assigned by his physician for the cancellation of all speaking dates ntil Captain Rickenbacker fully recovers. He could hardly make himself heard last night. Persons who purchased seats will have their money returned by calling at the Harrison pharmacy in the Westcott hotel building.

WARS BURIED IN WAYNE COUNTY

By ROSCOE FLEMING

OLDIERS of the six major wars conducted by the American republic, although the first was fought thirty years before the first exploration of our country, and the last seems not yet entirely over, are buried in Wayne county

cemeteries, and exercises in their memory, especially solemn and full of meaning this year, were conducted throughout the county Friday. The first war was, of course, the Revolution. Wayne was an unknown wilderness when it was fought, and the sturdy first settlers did not push through the forests and up the Whitewater to find it until more than twenty years after the war's close. But veterans of the conflict which made America free, nevertheless, were among the first settlers of the country, and are buried within its limits. There are only a few of them, but the names of two are certainly known. They are David Bradbury and John Townsend. Refused a Pension David Bradbury was born in Essex county, N. J. near Elizabethtown, in 1760. He fought through the Revolution and afterwards came West,. The date of his death is not known, but he lies buried in Jcksonburg cemetery, and until a few years ago his headstone could be seen. Townsend was a soldier of the Revolution but he became a Friend in later life and would never accept a pension, on conscientious grounds. He is buried in the old cemetery at Middleboro. Both these men have relatives who yet live in this section of the country. Among the descendants of David Bradbury are Mrs. Linus Meredith, Miss Anna Bradbury and William Bradbury of Richmond, besides several others.' Richard Rue, one of the first three settlers of the country, was a member ol the historic band which, led by George Rogers Clarke, wrested Vincennes from the hand3 of the British in 1789, and made it forever certain that this part of the country would belong to America. He is buried at

Elkhorn. Incited Indians to Revolt. The war of 1812 is unique for the county in that it was the only war the United States ever-fought which touched Wayne soil, and in which citizens of the county defended their own homes. While the main fighting was on the sea and far east and north of here, the English incited the Indians of this section of the country to revolt In the fall .of 1812, the defeat of the American arms encouraged the

Indians, and they became- bold. A Wayne county regiment, the eighth, was formed, although the county had been settled but seven years, and Governor Harris of the Indian territory reviewed the troops at Heeler's station, a few miles from the present site of Richmond. Blockhouses were built in many points in the county, and every fourth house was strengthened to afford some defense. Among the places where blockhouses were built, were . Rue's and Meeks' stations, one mile south

of Abington, Jenny's Station. Martindale's Station and Boyd's Station, on the Walnut Level, and at several places on the west branch of Whitewater. The Indian peril increased, and volunteers were asked to march north and east to meet them and help retake Detroit and that section of Canada. A company was made up from the Wayne county regiment, and it marched as . far north as Piqua. Here news was brought that the Indians were attacking in the county, and permission was asked to come back and help defend their own homes. It was granted. Never Sworn In. The Eighth regiment was never sworn into national service, so that while the pioneers could truthfully say they had been in the war of 1812, they could show no federal vouchers for (Continued on Page Thirteen)

TREATY HONEST, TAREIEU TELLS U. S. SOLDIERS

Provides Guarantee Against Further Aggression, Declares French Delegate. (By Associated Press) BEATJNE, France. Thursday, May 29 Captain Andre Tardieu, member of the French peace delegation and former head of the general commission for Franco-American war matters, defended the treaty of peace in an address delivered today at the closing exercises of Beaune - university, where ten thousand American student soldiers have been studying since the armistice put an end to actual hostilities. He said, in discussing the treaty: "First, it is honest, it agrees with our program of war, without public engagements and with our conception of international life. To find matters for reproach in this character is to misunderstand altogether what ideals have contributed to our victory and to strip us in peace time of one of our greatest forces in the war. "Besides it is common to us both and vouched for in every one of its articles by the whole hearted adhesion of you and of the allied governments. While he is studying and discussing this same treaty, the enemy . well knows that he has a block of granite in front of him. If anyone tries to belittle this solidarity, he thereby confesses that he has learned nothing from the lessons of the war or from the creative greatness of our union. Warn Against Intrigues "Finally it is efficient, for in that world which it Invites to peace, it (Continued on Page Thirteen)
