WASHINGTON. May 30. A nation
loyal first of all to itself, but never
fulling to measure up to tho demands
of an adwmclng civilization, was pic
tured by President Harding as an
American ideal today in n Memorial
day address at Arlington cemetery.
American heroes of cvc;y war, the
president said, had accomplished far
more than tho immediate ends for
which they fought because they hud
helped erect and preserve a shrine for
the liberty-loving of every race.
He declared tho whole mission of
America would become an unrealized
dream, If this heritage ever wag sac
rificed. "Our country." said Mr. Harding,
"has never failed to measure up to
tho demands presented to it by hu
manity and It never will. When it
ceases to meet these drafts, It will no
longer bo our country: It will be, if
that time ever conies, tho wretched
and decaying memorial of another
civilization that has crumbled, of
another Ideal which has failed, of
another ambition for men's happiness
which has somehow gone awry."
In equally emphatic language the
president assorted his conviction that
his duty to civilization Could be ac
complished only If tho nation took
caro first of Its own Integrity. '
v The tpxt of the president's address
In part follows:
Tribute of Love.
"We are met on sacred soil today
for a solemn hour of sacrament and
consecration. But tho sol! whence
wo come Is itself sanctified' through
the sacrifices of those who He here.
Wherever our flag flics, within tho
boundaries of the republic. It Is over
lands whoso freedom and security
have been wrought through these
sacrifices.
"It is tho privilege of this company
to utter our tribute of love and grati
tude In tho sacristy of beauty within
sight of the national capital.
"Hut others, no less devout, will as
semble all over our land and other
landH, under foreign skies and among
alien peoples, to pay like tribute cf
love and memory.
"There in no discordant note in tho

trip to tho grave of former President
Theodore Roosevelt where he placed a
wreath, was Georges Carpentier's first
act in observance of Memorial day.
The French champion's training quar

were held today In every American

DECORATION DAY SPIRIT
Her Security Was Threatened
hymn of gratitude, no sectionalism .'n
our memorial. Above tho murmurings
of grief is tho swelling concord of
union and the dominant nolo is our
faith in the republic.
"It will be a tribute today spoken
in many tongues and by diverse ruccn.
Wherever men are free they are wont
to give thought to our country's serv
ices In freedom's cause. Where men
may but aspire to a freedom not yut
achieved, their Instinct turns tho eye
and the thought of hope this way and
they pray that their cause may gain
our approbation. They know that we
have never drawn the sword of op
pression, that we have not sought
what was not our own, nor taken all
that we might have claimed. They
have seen our protecting arm stretch
ed over tho outposts of liberty on
every continent. For more than a
century our plighted word warned
tyranny from half the world; then,
when tho gauge was taken up by mad
ambition, men felt the blow that arm
could strike when freedom answered
in its utmost might. Across the seus
we sent our hosts of liberty's sons,
commissioned to 'redress tho eternal
scales.' Today tho sons and daugh
ters of other lands are placing with
loving bands their laurels on Ameri
can graves, not less reverently than
we are doing. To me no thought
comes with more Inspiration, that
now our memorial day is become an
international occasion.
"There are gathered hero the ashes
of a great army of those who fought
in the struggle, which preserved our
union and insured our high place in
the community, of nations. We will
not over-appraise their sacrifice If wo
say that had they failed, their failure
would have so weakened the forces of
liberty and enlightenment that them
would have been doomed, in tho more
recent world trial, the failuro and de
feat. A divided America would have
been incapable of tho effort that was
demanded to hold our present-day
civilization secure.
One Flag, One Destiny.
"Our own generation will not per
form a part worthy of Its heritage If
wo do less than our very utmost to
preserve that which they made pos
sible for us to possess, one flag, one
purpose, one pride, and one destiny.
"In such a view, we must see that
our opportunity to be useful to man
kind at large depends first on being
loyal to ourselves. No ideal of gen
erosity to all men can Justify ne
glect first to make ourselves stror.,
firm, secure, In behalf of our own
people. Wo cannot hope to discharge
tho wider responsibilities if we have
not first proved our capacity to meet
the narrower ones. It Is our wish to
be useful in the greater rciltm:; but
if we- are to do so, we must h tve no
question of our devotion to the great
principles for which these gave their
lives In the struggle which saved the
union and re-dedicatcd it forc-'er to
liberty. I counsel no selfishness, no
little Americanism, no mer3 paro
chialism, when I urge tha" our f-rst
duty Is to our own, and that ii the
measure of its performance we will
find the true gauge of our caparity
to be helpful to others."
"It is a good thing to come to this
consecrated place and renew the
pledges of our loyalty to those whos'
patriotism gave us our strength and
opportunity. Their instinct rightly
led them to the judgment that their
first duty was to preserve the insti
tution of popular rule, of national
solidarity. They dl'J not enter upon
the war among the states with the pri
mary purpose to end tho institution
of human Slavery. Worthy as that
might have been their inspiration

maintain the union, to keep it a power
