justed compensations." Judge Walsh"
pointed out to the ex-sorvlcs men
that the only way to Obtain action on
the part of the government was to
present an undivided front.
so constituted that he has gratitude
for that which has been conferred
upon him." said Judge Walsh. “It is
well that he has the intellect to ex-
press this gratitude. It is well that
we can call attention to the things that
they may not have died in vain."
At this part of his address. Judge
Walsh quoted the poem “In Flanders'
Fields Where Poppies Grow."
Judge Walsh then pointed out that
the “torch of freedom." had been the
guiding light of the United States in
each and every war or rebellion in
which it. participated. He referred to
the war of 1812; to that. of 1847 when
Texas people were given their free-
dom; the Civil War. when fellovwmen
were freed from slavery: to the
Spanish-American war when the Phil-
iipines were freed from Spain; and
the World W'ar.
“Today," continued Judge Walsh.
"there are serious minded people
who. from events abroad. think that
there wil be another World W'ar. If
there is a war. it will mean the des-
truction of western civilisation Just
as the Roman empire was Gstroyed
in the past. Civilisation is based upon
the moral honesty of a. contract.
\‘l'hcn men destroy the soiemnity of a
contract. it means the destruction of
civilization. I want you to take this
home with you: the constitution is
simply a. contract.
"Why do I say this? Because i
want you men who served in the army
and navy during the war to know that
you are on equal footing with those
who stayed at home. There is con-
siderable opposition to blocs in Con-
gress in the east. The blocs accom-
plish something. however. because
they present an undivided front. You
men. too. should lay aside petty bick-
erings. form into one organization
and present an undivided front. Then
you will make Congress take action."
Another selection by the Community
Chorus followed and the "Star Spangl-
cd Banner" was rendered by the
American band. The services closed
with benediction by Rev. Ernest F.
McGregor.

Parade of War Vets
The crowds that lined the sidewalks
in the Third. the Second and the First
districts yesterday morning to wit-
ness the Memorial Day parade had
brought home to them more vividly
than ever before the.fact that the
ranks of the Grand Army of the Re-
public are being thinned each year by
Father Time.

the fact that it will be buta Savoy-are

In contrast to these heroes of sixty
years ago, were the Spanish War vot-

the future citizens of the country. the
Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts and
the school children.
The parade. though not as large as
some that have been held in Nor-
waik. was nevertheless an inspiring
sight. Headed by a platoon of police
consisting of Chief of Police W'illiam
It. Pennington and Patrolman John
Smith. Louis Brehm. John Murphy
