Whgn Harry had delivered the pa pers to the boys to be sold tonight, a prominent resident stepped up to McFadden and as".:ed, "If you were a man would you have gone to war?" Harry, amazed, replied, "You betcher life." The man addressing him said: "Did you know that paper you are han dling is upholding such men as those murderers at Centralia, when they killed the ex-soldiers?" McFadden said, "Well,' I hadn't taken time to read the sheet, but I will call my boys in."

CENTRALIA BURIES 1 OF HEROIC DEAO Legion Pays Tribute While Sentries Patrol Streets. CITY SAD BUT RESOLUTE Thousands Stand in Silence as Lieutenant Grimm and Dale Hubbard Are Laid to Rest. 'Continued From First Pace.) the auditorium itself. Centralia and the American Legion, having once plumbed the depths of the red venom, were not at all inclined to take an other chance. They had every reason to believe that the rabid enmity that turned slaughter loose in a peace pa rade would not scruple to violate the obsequies of its victims. The funeral oration of Rev. H. W. Thompson, veteran of the civil war. was a fiery exhortation to courage and continued faith in the republic, a challenge and defiance to radicalism and a tribute to the gallant character of the four victims of the Armistice day assault. MinlMter Predicts Awakening. "In every state of America," said the minister, "they have felt the thrill, the horror of this awful tragedy. And the result of this will be an awaken ing throughout the length and the breadth of the land. "It takes a good deal to arouse the American people, but there comes a crucial moment when the die is cast and the bell is tolled. And when American public opinion is aroused there is no power on God's earth I that nan ston it aj it advances unon those who would destroy our glorious republic. "There seems to be those in our midst who would institute a reign of terror. We thought that the United States would be free from the terror that has shaken and destroyed Rus sia. But it seems that we are not. Gentlemen, there can be no liberty without law, there can be no freedom without recognition of the law. Cannon Urged for Enmlei. "I want to tell you fellow citizens and members of the American Legion that the time has come when every red-blooded American must stand for the Star-Spangled Banner and say to those who would destroy the re public 'Halt! You must go no further unless you wish to read your destiny and doom from the muzzles of rifles and the mouths of cannon!' "These men who lie here in the sieep of death bared their breasts to the storm of battle that freedom might come to the world. That is what they fought for. We are proud of these men. They went back to the pursuits of civilization. They took up the task where they left it and then, sudden and savage and cowardly, came the attack that stretched them cold in death. 1 know the mettle of such as these. They were brave men, they were trained in batle. Had they known on that fatal parade that they were approaching the point where their bodies would be targets for bullets. they would not have faltered or turned back. Incident In ImpreHwed. I do not believe in mob law. Let the constituted authorities handle the situation. But I say that it is up to the constituted authorities to day to see that these men have not died in vain. 'This country shall not be over thrown by this band of anarchists. Friends, I hope to God this lesson will sink down deep into the breasts of every true American, whether na tive or foreign born." The invocation was delivered by Major S. S. Sullinger, Washington state chaplain of the American Legion, known in all fondness 'The Little Old Sky Pilot" a trimly alert figure that stood with reverent head and asked that Providence take judgment against the perpetrators of the Armistice day murders. "Oh, thou who didst put the mark upon Cain." exhorted the chaplain with fiery fervor, "put the brand upon those who have brought us together this dark afternoon." Song; Brines Bowed Heads. Vocai solos were given by Mrs. Mc Clelland Barto, accompanied by Mrs. Jane Stone. When the words of "Lead, Kindly Light," struck through th spaces of the auditorium, the audi ence, closely pressed ranks of men in khaki and in business garb, with an almost equal number of wives and daughters, stood with bowed heads as though a prayer were being spoken. It is difficult to estimate the at tendance at the memorial service but at least several thousand person were drawn to Centralia to pay thei tribute and the auditorium was ut terly inadequate to contain them. Throughout the service hundreds stood patiently in the street, waiting for the funeral cortege to emerge. The city closed its business places, by proclamation of the mayor, for th entire afternoon. Shop windows bore placards lettered in pencil and ink informing the public that the rules of business were suspended in "honor to our heroes." There was no holding back from compliance with the proc lamation. To the last citizen, Centralia has felt the wound and seen the men ace strike. 250O Service Men Attend. Among the posts of the American Legion represented at the memoria with many smaller posts sending in dividual representatives were: Se attle, Tacoma, Portland. Chehali Olympia, Kelso. Winloek and others. Service men who were present in Cen tralia today are estimated to have mustered at least 2500. Captain Robert Longmire served a marshal of the memorial parade, with Lieutenant Adrian F. Cormier as as sistant marshal. These two officers are the same who served In like ca pacity on Tuesday last in the Armls tice day parade, when their comrade were struck downby the fusillade o bullets poured at. the veterans from the I. W. W. headquaters and other lurking places of the "reds." Overseas Flas Waves. Before the marching veteran waved the colors of the 161st infan try, the Washington national guard regiment that went overseas. The flag was brought to Centralia by Colonel William M. Inglis of Seattl who was in command in France, and who was at the forefront of the me mortal parade. Other officers wh led the legion were Brigadier-General Harvey J. Moss, adjutant-general of Washington; Major Hartwell W. Pal mer, Tacoma; Major Carroll, Seattle Captain John Ralph Dean. - Seattl Major Sulliger, representing the vet erans of foreign wars. Funeral services were held this forenoon for Arthur R. McElfresh at the Christian church and services for Lieutenant Grimm were held at 2 ! o'clock at the Presbyterian church. Services for Dale Hubbard and Ben Casagranda will be held tomorrow, with interment in Mountain View cemetery. Caskets Lowered After Dark. Officers of the American Legion estimate that from 8000 to 10,000 per sons viewed the bodies of the four ex service men at the conclusion of the memorial service. So heavy was the press and delay so certain that those in charge of the service at first de murred at permitting the vast throng to pass the open caskets. In the end the crowd won its point, many of the citizens declaring that they had trav eled long distances for the privilege and that refusal would wound them deeply. So it was that the funeral cortege of Lieutenant Grimm and Arthur Mc Elfresh did not reaph Mountain View cemetery until darkness had fallen. In the glow of scores of automobile headlights centered upon the open graves, 2000 watchers saw the caskets lowered while buglers sounded taps. Arrangements for the memorial service were in complete charge of the American Legion's local post, with Lieutenant E. C. Roberts and Captain H. Y. Bell directing the general plans. During the afternoon closing period members of the Centralia Chronicle staff and mechanical department as sembled in the editorial rooms and held a brief memorial service, pre sided over by Henry A. Dunkley, fore ma of the composing room. REDS' VICTIMS MARKED SEATTLE CHIEF SAYS KILL INGS, DYXAMITIXG SLATED. ity to Be Protected at All Costs. Extra Police Put On Orders Are "Shoot to Kill."
