heroes’ graves.

Last year, Congress, at the instance of Senator David A. Peed of Pennsylvania, and Kepiesentative Simmon- of Nehru ka, authorized a pilgrimage of tin e gold star mother to the graveof their sons on the hattleifelds of Europe. This pilgrimage, conducted b\ the war department, was open to those mother.- and widows who had not he,oi previously oversea at theii ewn expense on thi- reverent errand. I’hi- \ear emigre-.-, through an amendment offered by IG presentative Simmons ha- authorized another pil grilling,' to include women who had previously visited these graves at their own cost, as wa ll as those whose

communities, their zeal may he arouse,) in helping to bring tin 1 entire nation into the spirit of this tribute to Washington. The bicentennial commission is sending helpful and informative material to selected leader- in each of these sixteen piIgripi groups, who will organize these memorial exorcises on shipboard.

It j.s to lie hoped that no i ity or town in America will be able to show a more UllHnillloUS wearing of the (Hippy than Greencastle. Kveryoiie can wear a poppy.

Retiring president William Dnttcrvvorth of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce “We have reached the point when improvements are appearing in the new- of the hour, liven in times of the greatest activity all fields and all enterprises are not prosperous. In a period of Im-ines- ro< .very we cannot expect all news t,, he uniformly good hut we must not make the mistake of allowing the disappointing features to blind us to thus,, which reflect the realities of the situation and the trend of events.” Edward A. l-'ilene, Hoston merchant "I think at the end of the year there will be a beginning of an upvvnid turn that will continue through next year. Next year is going to be an election year and the Itcpiihlicnns who are in the majority in business in general influence know that their party cannot he re-elected unles- times are better.

This is no time for pessimism, it is time to face the future with confidence." I'liny K. Holt, director of Caterpillar Traction Company, Stockton, California . “I expect a gradual improvement. I don't think there will he an immediate marked improvement, hut it will come slowly and -urely.” Rome C. Stephenson, South Rend, Ind., Ameirian Rankers Association “I do not expect that any among us arc pessimistic enough to believe that anything hut at least gradual im provement in business lies ahead. I hope vve ,an agree vve are facing toward a new business era.” R. R. Rcuprec, I’rcsident I'rocto! and Gamble, ( incinnati, (t. “Any company which can bring about better economic and social londiti, n will have no difficulty in growing in whatever industry it may be engaged." Robert M a-son, director general, Credit Lyonnais, and one of the most influential banking figures in the world, related a little incident of n toui of the United States in Ihlii during the world war in a speech to ’ he chamber of commerce last night in making hi- , lament. To reporters who met him at the train and asked when the war would end, he said, it would end some time. When he picked ii|i the paper the next morning, he saw in flaming headlines the words “end of war in sight." "Well | feel like prophesy ing again if you will allow me to do so,” he told his audience with an impish smile. “This cii-is is sure to end, ami vve have never been so near the end awe are today.”
