President Harding, in a Memorial day 'message to the American Legion, made public Thursday, expressed hope thut the future would bring less need for further national sucrtlces. The message follows: "Americans have never been much given to the establishment of holidays and fete days. Perhaps our national life has been so short, and entirely within so matter-of-faand practical a period of the world's history, that we have been little moved by the'sentl-ment- s SE that such occasions inspire.

I I Benson on Importance of Yap Hear Admiral William S. Benson Is regarded In Washington as the man who knows most about Yap and its Importance, both from a commercial and naval standpoint.. He was chief adviser to the American peace mission nt Paris on naval end maritime matters. It is understood that It was on his advice that Yap was singled ont as the one I'nclflc Island that should be kept open to fre International use. "Yap Is Important, primarily," Benson says, "as a cable center. The Island Is the pinnacle of a submarine mountain range in the western Pncftfc.

These difficulties are practically removed If the cables are I muled at Tap. With the ends anchored there, the wear and strain on them Is removed. They drop away easily Into the volley of the ocean on each side. If Japan maintains exclusive use of Ynp as a cable center.
