MEMORIAL DAY finds lie natimi liioiirniiifj Tur tlio first tinio for her sons win lmve fallen in frccdoin.'s behalf in foreign hinds. Jlein-efoi'tli we shall annually iay homage to tliose Ainreieaiis who have cheerfully given their llieir lives In make the old world free as for over half a century we have laid loving trihiite on the graves of those, who fell to make the new world free. The war, as far as America is concerned, has hardly he gaii, yet our casualties already number thousands and by next .Memorial Day, will total hundreds of thousands. The debt that we owe' those who give llieir all can never be liaid but the nation will always hold dearest the nieinoJ rics of those fallen. America will iiav the full ol Us cost even inoilgn niai price oe minions who must spread "on fame's eternal camping ground their silent tents. harlli never produced greater heroes lighting lor a nobler cause, writing with their life-blood the most im portant chapter in the world's history to free unborn gen eral ions from tyranny. Memorial Day is no longer a civil war' day no longer dedicated lo the dead of the north only. It, is a world war day, where north and south and east and west unite as one to scalier iiiossonis 01 love of those who have given all to make, the world free a day where noi l herners and southerners stand shoulder to shoulder gaing across 1 he great ocean upon their sons and grandsons fighting shoulder to shoulder against the coun- i r y V; foe. Memorial Day is no longer even an American day. It is this year widely observed in allied lands and ere the guns cease t linndering over the devasted regions of sunny France, it will have become a day sacred in all nations to those who have fallen that civilization niav endure that "government ol' 1he people, Ic" shall not perish. HUNGARIANS ALSO TRUE HUNS. Tllh Hungarians art; proving themselves true Huns, for t hev are out -I I ill utile' f be ( lei'in.-ms in 1 lu-ie t regi ment of subject nations. Jugoslavs and Rumanians are ram ol 1 1 nugariing llie.se crime is 1 hat thev lack the st that brutalizes the mongrel The plan being followed subject peoples Irom border places, tlie confiscation of this Hungarians, so lliat the Navs and Kunianians will be scat tered and ringed about by , Magyars and thus prevented I roni coi i mm i neat mg or co-opera t nig with their I el low na tionals of Serbia, Montenegro and Rumania. The ex-appropriation in "Hungary includes, besides I ransferral of non-Magyars from their homes, the substitu tion of Magyar language for Serbian, (Votian, Rumanian or Slovak in schools; establishment of Magyar bishopies and dismissal of non-Magyar clergy; Magyar control of property, so that the government can at any time on any pretext dispossess the non-Magyar owners. ' The object frankly stated, is to insure and perpetuate Magyar' rule. The Prussian ''Teutonic Knights" tried the same scheme in the l'.altie provinces five hundred years ago but it never Prussianized the oppressed people. Prussia has tried it for over a century oij Poland, strangled, but never killed the Polish nation, (lerniauy has tried it, for half a century on Alsace-Lorraine and Alsace-Lorraine is still loyal to France. iermany and Austria have practiced it on liohemia since the fall of John lluss, and Pohemia still is aiiti-( Icrnian. Austria is trying it again in the eou iiered parts of Italy and (iermany in conipiered Russia but oppression never won a nation and only massacre can exterminate one. Eventually the conquered absorb the conquerors. It is however, the accepted autocratic method and ex plains why all the world is fighting the central tyrannies. COMMUNICATION.

Increasiiiif vio h nee.iniirks the progress of the tilit ini.'' smith of the Aisne. The (jennnns are t'ititin against time and are throwing every nnce of weight of Iran, jiower into the Ktruu'le. On tlie center the enemy has nain pushed forward, but hif- efforts to broaden his advancing IVunt have n;el with less success. The allied wiiis have been obliged to ive some ground. This action was carried out slowly and the full price was exacted f rom the enemy. Soissons lias jjone and (lie llritisli have fallen baek tuWiird liheinis but in. either ease the enemy has won only a few miles of territory. In competent circles there is quiet confidence in the outcome and sins are not lacking that the advancing waves shortly will be sieinmed. X'nity of eominaud puts Ihe allies in a bet ter position than they were in the March offensive. Then Ihe French reinforcements come into action on Ihe -third day, and on Ihe eighth Ihe (lermans were slopped definitely. To day things should f;o more quickly. Tlie Germans have been obliged to have their tfuns on the northern side of the original line which can be crossed only at a certain number of points which an; highly vulnerable to allied airplanes. Tlie enemy is thus prevented from reaping the full benefits of his rapid advam-e. Meanwhile the allied reserves are massing at certain points without any of the confusion that attended Ihe similar movement in March. So well perfected are the u mince meats that an entire division can be moved by motor truck from the Soniuie to Kheims in -IS hours and ur rivo without a button missing.

" The American "circus" was com posed of Lieutenant George F.

Lieutenant Fisher, however, got in Ihe finishing stroke, firing the last shots at the German before the enemy machine 'broke into flames and following down the flaming plane for as long a time as was possible. The game observer in the German machine, although plunging to certain death, kept his gun working amid the flaming swirl as he fell, training ti first at one American machine and then another. liev. lu.ellr Douglas and cliililrcn li-l't. last nijiht l'(ir Ilellini;lialli, Wash., where .Mrs. Douglas will visit rela livi's ami lake a special eoui'si' at lile slate noraial seiionl iluriiii; tlie siiiu uier.

Memor ial day this year, carrying a deeper meanlnR because of the fuller parti cipation of the United States In the war and more signiflccut because of the new American graves in France, was oboyod today by the American people als "a day of public humilia tion, prayer and fasting", in accord ance with the proclamation ot Pre sident Wilson Issued in response to a resolution of congress asking that such a day bo set apart. While in no manner was the honor annually 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 en gaged in another drive against the forces of democracy.' Tho American troops are aiding In the attempt to stem the German tide was a source of satisfaction. in Washington the spirit of the president's proclamation was gener ally carried out. Tho president plan ned to attend church services this morning and this afternoon. . Both bouses of congress stood ad journed. Practically all government offices were closed. TO MAKE JACKSON COUNTY WHEATLESS The, federal food , administration has urged the county food adminis tration to exert increased efforts to mako Jackson ccuuty wlicatless. It is tho desire of the administration to start on this basis June 1. Tlie fol lowing statement was issued last night by the administration: The federal food administrator asks that we resolve to make Jackson county wheatless beginning June 1st. We therefore request all citizens to use substitutes and limit their con sumption ot white wheat flour to 2 Mi pounds per month. This practically means using none except as a hinder. There is no limit placed on barley, corn, rice, potatoe and rye flour. The time has come when we must save tho wheat flour for our soldiers and allies in Europe. Jackson county has not failed to do more than was asked and no request lias been made that was more imperatively necessary. JACKSON COUNTY. FOOD ADMINISTRATOR. $1,500,000,000 UNITED .

Expenditures reported today by the treasury show taat the govern ment's outlays in the last month have taken a jump of more thnn $300,000,000 above the normal rate in tho past, and they promise to. go steadily higher In the next six months. Tentative estimates now are that $11,000,000,000 will be spent be tween next July 1, the opening of tho new fiscal year, and Dec. 31, six months later, and the greater -part of this must be raised by the fourth lib erty loan in October or November, which President Wilson In bis ad dress before congress, .will be the biggest popular credit ever offered.
