in the sacred halls of Memory,
"Time but the impression stronger
makes,
As streams their channels deeper
wear."
"And again but recently another
great army of the youths of America
have crossed the sea to play their
part in as holy a cause as ever men
drew sword for. In the greatest of
all wars, known to history, and tens
of thousands of the young manhood
of America, are sleeping in foreign
soil on fields enriched by their
blood and consecrated by their val-
or. A great task heroically performed
a record so fine and splendid that
already it is written in the shining
pages of history. There was no call
olj duty that they did not answer,
no goal so difficult and dangerous
that they failed to reach, no advanced
position that with reckless daring
they did not take and hold. What
more can soldiers do?
Our citizens soldiers from every
calling in life, untrained in war,
fought side by side with the flower
of the trained regulars of all the mar-
tial Nations of Europe and won the
admiration of the world- and today
we give homage to our Soldier dead,
whether sleeping
"By the flow of that inland river,
Whence the fleets of Iron have fled,"
or on the red fields of Manassas, of
Shiloh, of Chicamoga, of Gettys-
burg. or under white crosses in
Flanders, in the Argonne ,or at
Chateau Thierry.
"On Fames Eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the Dead,
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters
blight,
Nor times Remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray of Holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb."
'Wot here alone but across the sea
the Nations are paying tribute to
their dead. Widowed women and or-
phaned children of an alien race.
; made homeless and houseless by
I pitiless and wanton cruelty, prolong-
ed through four years of unspeakable
horror, with willing hands and loving
hearts are strewing flowers on the
graves of our dead, and those flowers
are the richest gifts of an impover-
( ished people. They distil the sweet
I insense of breaking hearts; they are
the votive offerings of a gratitude
that is speechless. France holds and
will ever hold in grateful remem-
brance the men who came from an
ocean sundered nation, bearing the
banner of her deliverance, and who
died for our common humanity.
^England has given sepulture to
one of her unkown dead iu Westmin-
ister Abbey ,and in that great iMaus-
oleum of her illustrious dead of all
the Ages, where the dust of kings,
and of the great rulers who have
; swayed her destiny; of her states-
! men, her poets and her philosophers
and her great war chiefs of sea and
laud mingle and today that soldier
of the unkown dead is receving hon-
ors that a King might envy. And now
as we count the cost of the World
war, must we ask what is all this
worth and search for our justifica-
tion ,as with great grief we mourn
our irreparable loss in human life.
We could have remained neutural
while all the waters of the seven
seas were being strewed with deadly
mines, until all our commerce was
driven from the ocean,—until no man
dare sail a ship floating the Ameri-
can flag. In supine indifference we
could have looked on while defense-
less Americans, men, and women and
children were being ruthlessly sent
to watery graves, and we could
have uttered words of protest and
earned the cowards privilege of dis-
graceful peace, -and that other
privilege of having the finger
of grinning infamy pointing at us
through all eternity. Not of such stuff
are Americans made. No foreign
monarch holds dominion here, be-
cause men fought and died, that we
do not see today the broken and dis-

bursting shells were scattering death

fall from weeping eyes on the graves

deep beneath the wrecks of Empire

The City band furnished music for
the day. After the services in the
I church the Indies Department G. A.
R. held the flower services at the
Fifth street bridge. Rev. Wade of the
Baptist church made a picturesque
and eloquent address on the potencv
and golry of the sacrifice made for
the preservation of this Republic,
after which the ladies dropped an ar-
gosy of flowers—a miniature ship—
and sent down the stream in memory
of the sailors and marines who died
for their country on the seas in the
three different wars.
Suday morning Rev. Kilborn de-
li vereed a very able sermon at the
Christian church in memory of the
heroic dead. The church was crowd-
ed and an inspiring program of
msuic was rendered by the choir.
Four Past Department Command-

"What s in a Name?"
By MILDKhD MARSHALL
Facts about four name; Its history, mean-
ing, whence It w«  derived. tignifuance}
vour lucky day and lucky leweL
SADIE.
THE quaint name of Sadie, lately
spelled Sadye, has Its origin with
Sarah. It comes from a Hebrew verb
meaning to tight or rule, and hence
came to signify "princess." The tirst
record of the use of Sarah or Sara
belongs to Bible history where the
wife of Abraham was so railed.
Sadie came Into existence through
the Irish—unless one came to believe
that she Is only an Americanization of
one of Surah's many diminutives. But
for the sake of etymological exactness,
It Is nice to believe that the Irish
Sadhbh was the real forerunner of
Sadie.
But between the time of Abraham's
wife and the api>earnnee of the Irish
version of her name, Sarah had been
adopted by other countries and had
won great popularity. In England
Sa**:! Beauchamp gave It vogue in the
reign of Edward I and Sarrota de
Moulton, wlio lived In a former reign,
was also supposed to possess a name
which was another and favorite form
of Sarah.
The French preferred Sara without
the "h" and It still continues in great
votrue there. They have another form.
Sarotte. which Is also popular. Ire-
land's Sadhbh and America's Sadie
are apparently the only other exist-
ing forms.
Sadie has a curious talismanic
gem—malachite. If It is engraved
with an image of the sun. It will bring
her pence, freedom froin danger and
disease, and sound sleep. It Is partic-
ularly lucky for children, and It I*
siild that a piece of malachite tied
to a child's cradle will protect it from
dangers throughout later life. Satur-
day Is Sadie's lucky day and 7 her
lucky number.
