The Heroic Dead St. Johns' Roll of Honor Was Civil War Veteran The first threo American sol diers killed in the trenches in France are sleeping in French soil, honored by tho American army and the people and army of France. Their final inter ment took place last week. With n guard of French infan trymen in their picturesque uniforms of red and horizon blue standing on one side and a detachment of American sol diers on tho other, tho flag wrapped caskets were lowered into tho grave as a bugler blew taps and tho batteries at the front fired minute guns. As . the minute guns went otf the French officer commanding tho division, in this section paid tr mute to the fallen Ameri enns. His words, which were punctuated by tho roar of the guns and the whistle of shells, touched, both the French and Americans. In conclusion the French officer said: "In the name of the th division, in the name of the French army and in the name of France, I bid farewell to 1'rlvntG En right, Private Gresham and Private Hay, of the American army. "Of their own free will they had left a prosperous and happy country to come over here. They Knew war was continuing in Europe, they knew that the forces fighting for honor, love of justice and civilization were still checked by the long nrcnnr ed forces serving tho powers of brutal domination, oppression and barbarity. They knew that efforts were still necessary. Thoy wished to give up thoir generous hearts and they have not forgotten old lustorica memories while others forget more recent ones. "They ignored nothing of the circumstances and nothing had buen concealed from them neither the length, and hard ships of war nor the violence of battle, nor the drcadfulncss of now weapons, nor the perfidy of the foe. Nothing stopped them. 1 hey accepted tho hard and strenuous life, they crossed the ocean at great peri), they took their places on the front by our side and they have fallen facing the foe in a hard and desperate hand to hand fight. Honor to them, llioir farm lies, friends and fellow citizens will bo proud when they learn of their deaths. "Men, these graves, the first to lie dug in our national soil and only a short distance from tho enemy, arc as a mark of tho mighty land wo and our alii oh firmly cling to in tho com mon task, confirming the will of the people and the army of the United States to fight with uh to a finish.ready to sacrifice its long" as is necessary 'until final victory for the most not nblo of causes- that of the liberty of notions, the weak as well as tho mighty. Thus the duaths of humble soldiers an- ptar to us with extraordinary grandeur. "Wo will therefore ask that the mortal remains of these young mon bo loft hore, left with uh forever. Wo inscribe on the tombs 'Hero Lie tho First Soldiers of tho Republic of the United States to Fall on tho Soil of France for Liberty Following is a list of those from St. Johns who have enlist ed in Uncle Sam's service and who are now at the different training camps. We probably overlooked some, as it is ex ceedingly difficult to learn them all. So if you know of any overlooked, will you kindly fur nish their names, so that they may be added to St. Johns Roll of Honor. Taylor M. Whitmore. Athill W. Irvine, Deanc II. Knowlcs. Earl II.

J 86-1 FROM its beginnins, the Union Pacific has been "The National Railroad," a patriotic institution. Lincoln and other great men urged its construction for national protection and development. The prophetic vision of those, who founded this great railroad during a period of national stress is now apparent in these times of international conflict. Again the Union needs its Union Pacific. The Union Pacific is doing its utmost to expedite the enormous war fdiiptuents from the Treasure States it serves. Grain, cattle, min erals, lumber, wool and oil arc needed aa never before. For new equipment alone the Union Pacific is spending over $U000,000 to give American peo ple and industries still better ser vice. This is aside from even greater sums necessary for double-track- additional yard and 1917 $L H'R. engine facilities and other improvements designed to add to the traffic carry ing capacity of the property. Just now some of our ordered equipment s unobtainable for im mediate delivery because our Allies must be served first so we will win. The Union Pacific and The Union Pacific States must use available equipment to its greatest efficiency. The 41,000 employes of the Union Pacific and the 11,000.000 people of the western wealth-producing states now have an interna tional obligation to fulfill. Were Lincoln to speak today in behalf of the Union Pacific, as he urfjed its building, h would insist on those high service -standards for. which we are striving.
