Seated In front and not the least interesting of the group Is a member of the C. M. T. CL lie la interesting because of his potentlulltlea. To him the future of the nation la to be entrusted.

This summer there will be many thousands of him Including the two sons of President Coolldge. The veterans In this Camp Sam Houston group suggest that the ranks of both the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans are thinning fast The time la fast approaching when there will be no more Blue and no more Gray only the Khaki which grew out of the Blue and Gray. The latest pension figures give a hint of the way the veterans are dropping from the ranka. Pensioners for tho fiscal year ending Juno It; numbered 510,7(4. as compared with 547, 14 llil, for tha fiscal year ending Juno 10, 1022. The amount of money paid out for pensions for tho fiscal year of 111 was 22(1.012,500, as compared with an Increase of 21.204.017. Soldier pensions of the Civil war decreased by 22,250 during the last fiscal year, the number being lll.kll la 1022 and 160.221 In 1(21, while the widows of Civil war veterans drawing pensions fell from 272,124 In 1(22 to 2(4.502 In 1122, a reduction of 7.214. Pensioners of tha Spanish American war were increased during the year by 22.412. Tha number of widows of veterans of thin war drawing pensions alio increased from 2,192 to 11.127. An Increase of 66 penalone.ra of Indian wars occurred during the last fiscal year. There are only 4 soldiers of the Mexican war drawing pensions from tho government. Widows being pensioned from the War of 112 declined from 49 to 40. Another picture shows Prof. Edwin D. Mnany and David Sjmuldlng unveiling a bronze tablet on the rumpus of the University of Washington In men and one woman who gave honor of fifty-seve- n their lives for their country In the World War. The sense of resiainslblllty In the youth of the day la one of the things that gives us hope. All the college men were valiant In the World War as In every war. There was Intense love of country and a passion for service no less strong. It Is the (ticked youth of the enuntryr-th- e high school boys who are resorting and college undergraduates voluntarily to the military training enmpa. Doubtless they hole war, but doubtless they Intend to be ready for intelligent sendee In the next war if it XtSam The Washington Monument at the rapltal Is Impressive perhaps there Is no more impressive memorial on earth to a human being tlinn this great shaft In honor of the Father of His Country." The Lincoln Memorial at the capital la beautiful perhaps there Is no more beautiful memorial on earth to a human being than this temple erected In honor of the Savior of Uls Country." The recent unveiling of the sculptured head of Gen. Robert E. Lee suggests that the great Stone Mountain memorial to the Confederate army will lie No finer tribute ran be paid to nardlng and no Juater estimate made of him than In 1 'resident Coolldge Eulogy broadcasted to the nation. President Coolldge began his address with a reference to Leigh Hunt's poem, Abou Ben Adhem," In which an angel writes the name of Mm who loves his fellow man at the head of the llat of those who love the Lord." He then said, In part: f It will ba hard to find a better than this of President Harding, tha man we picture loved and mourn, lie loved hla fellow men, and because they felt It and knew it. loved and trusted him. He set an ezampla ofthey readiness to cast away tha sword. Ha sought for nations a peace tha only true and lasting peace based on Justice and right He stood first and firm for his own country, then for mankind. His sincerity and frankness won to his side those who sensed the great truth of human brotherhood. He led the way to the accomplishments of the Washington conference on limitation of armament Ms life became, In tha tragic sorrow of Its end, a Reason In ths value of atmple. and modest ways. We mourn him today, and we shall mourn him ao as remembrance holds before us ths pictures long of his patience, faith and Christian tolerance. These are rare virtues, too seldom found among the men who have the strength to rise to high places. We may well hope that his example to his own countrymen and to ths world may help to bring n spirit of charity, accord and true fraternity, whereby shall be lighted the lamp of understanding to show our feet Into the paths of peace on earth, good will to men. Wilsons stubborn battle against death waa typical of hla career. He was a fighter who never gave up. He elected to go down with colors flying. The undaunted spirit remained undlmmed to tlie end, and those last moments mnst have been fortified by the conviction that his fight had not been In vain. For be appealed to the conscience of the world and that appeal is slowly bearing fruit. Many are they who pronounce him the greatest personage produced by the World War. Let the man speak for himself In Ms proclamation of dedication read during the ceremonies at the dedication of the majestic memorial amphltlieater in the National Cemetery at Arlington. It reads, in part; The dedication of tha nstlonal memorial at Arlington closes and commits to history a great episode In the making of a nation. Gathered In this national cemetery and elsewhere are moat of the men who fought out the constitutional question. Insoluble by other processes, and now the government hae set this great and beautiful building to stand like a sentinel on the banks of the Potomac and to view for all time the capital of a reunited nation. Time has thrown lta softening influence over the controversy, time lias eliminated from ou memory the bitterness which that controversy aroused, but time has only served to magnify the heroic valor of the captains end men who fought the great tight. As the nation arose, united, It found Itself blessed with a great tradition.
