ID DEM HEROES
DE FIRST DIVISION
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—With liv
ing comrades gathered from the four
corners of America to do them hon
or, dead of the first division Satur
day came into their visible heritage
of glory.
Ranked in orderly, soldierly col
umns on the bronze tablets beneath
the mighty shaft these comrades
have raised to them their names are
set forth that men from all time may
know of their supreme sacrifice for
the flag. It was the tugging hand of
a hero comrade, weighed down with
his own battle wounds, that tore
aside the last curtain \vhich obscured
the serene, beauty of the tribute to
the valor, written in stone and
bronze.
“It is tribute of reverence and
sorrow to more than 5,000 of our
immortal dead from those who knew
and loved them,” President Coolidge
said * n dedicating the memorial.
“The figure of winged victory rises
above the scrolls of imperishable
bronze on which are inscribed alone
the ennobled names of those who
foil and through their deathless valor
left us free
"Other soldiers, generals and pri
vates, officers and men, rank on
rank of illustrious fame, are re
corded here. They live. The dead
reign here, alone.
A Symbol of Tragedy
“This monument commemorates
no man who won anything by the
war. It ministers to no aspirations
for place or power. But i* challenges
attention to the cost, the suffering
and sacrifice that may be demanded
of any generation so long as na
tions permit a resort to war to settle
their disputes. It is symbol of aw
ful tragedy, ’of unending sorrow’ and
of stern warning. The final lesson
which it imparts is the blessing of
peace, the supreme blessing of peace
with honor.
“If any one doubts the depth and
sincerity of the of the
American people to their institu
tions and government—let them
gaze upon this monument and other
like memorials that have been reared
in every quarter of our broad land.
Let them look upon the representa
tive gatherings of our veterans, and
let them remember thaj America
has dedicated itself to the service
of God and man.”
Up the same wide avenue where
its victory pageant unrolled itself
just, a few short years ago. the first
division came again to march its
veteran legions today, that full hon
or should be done to fallen comrades,
wherever they sleep. They moved
through a thinning haze of morn
ing fog that draped trees and build
ings in soft-toned clouds as the
troops and the marching veterans
tramped by. And again they found
crowding thousands all along the
way to greet the rumbling guns and
the thick-ranked host of marching
men.
Youngsters of the army today led
the way; men who now fill up the
historic regiments of the first divi
sion. and who wear on khaki shoul
ders the braided cords that testify
to the valor of the legions who have
passed before them through these
same ranks and whose glorious tra
ditions these younger sons of the
flag now carry on. Behind the
massed bands of the division and
stepping to the same rollicking tunes
that drew onward the tired feet of
the men who fought under the same
flags in France, first came the com
posite regiment from the Sixteenth
and Eighteenth infantry of today.
They were trim in khaki and brass
and stepping proudly in their youth,
with here and there among them
stern-faced veteran regulars who
still serve with the old regiments.
Many Back in “('ivies"
Behind these came the spotless
guns and gun teams of the sixth
artillery, rolling forward to pay their
last thundering salute to the fallen,
then the veterans no longer in the
armies, officers and men walking
shoulder to shoulder now under the
standards that proclaimed them to
b” all of the war-time sixteenth or
eighteenth. the twenty-sixth or
twenty-eighth, the sixth or seventh
or fifth artillery or first engineers
or sonic other unit of the fightirig
first division of 1917-19. Some wore
( again the old uniform, but most were
in civilian clothes of varying hue
and cut.
“But those lads are soldiers still.”
said one old army sergeant as he
watched the veterans tramp by. "See
the straight backs and see ’em keep
; their step. They've not forgot, those
( boys."
t'p past the tall monument the
I procession rolled to deploy out over
I the grass and under the trees and
i form a living wall of khaki about
the scene. On the platform at the
WRECKING OF IW
BY G. 0. P. SCORED
By JOHN W. DAVIS
Democratic Nominee Is Giv
en Warm Welcome at
Providence Rally
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Oct. 5.—“1
am firmly convinced that this is a
Democratic year,” said John W. Da
vis, the Democratic nominee for
president, speaking lust night to a
crowd that filled Infantry hall here
and gave the candidate a noisy wel
come.
“The reason I say this,” added
Mr. Davis, “is that I have traveled
as far as the Rocky mountains re
cently, and found a spirit of unrest
as pervasive, clear and definite as
ever before in American political
history. Men are distrustful and
dissatisfied. They feel their govern
ment no longer functions in their
interest. A phenomenon so great
must be founded on facts.”
Mr. Davis was introduced by Pat
rick H. Quinn, Rhode Island na
tional committeeman.
Referring to the Republican ad
ministration, Mr. Davis said there
were claims that the party had been
reorganized. “But they’re doing the
same old business,” shouted a njan
in the audience.
The nominee dwelt on the Re
publican record since 1921,. the tar
iff, the veterans’ bureau and the
agricultural depression, which he
attributed to lack of European mar
kets, consequent upon the Republic
an foreign policy.
Mr. Davis criticized the Repub
licans for exaggerating the im
portance of the Washington naval
conference and accused them of hav
ing failed to maintain a navy up to
the standard fixed in the treaty.
“I am willing to accept naval
equality with Great Britain,” he
said, “but I am not willing to ac
cept naval inferiority to any power.
The secretary of the navy has con
fessed that the navy has sunk to a
point barely above that of Japan.”
“What have we done to lead the
world into paths of reconstruction
and peace in the last five years?”
asked Mr. Davis. “What contribu
tion have we made to restore the
economic life of those across the
sc i who were, in days gone by, and
must be in days to come, our largest
customers?
“When I speak of the economic
life of Europe, I am not thinking
only of our allies. I am thinking
also of our defeated enemies. We
went into the war declaring that we
m"de no war on women or children,
that we made no war upon the Ger
man or Austrian people, but upon
their governments as they then
stood.”
Mr. Davis referred to the Demo
cratic party as one “not calling for
any adjectives to describe its mem
bership.”
He then enumerated leading Re
publicans, saying:
“If Senator Lodge is a Repub
lican. what is Senator Brookhart?
If President Coolidge is a Republic
an, I do not know what Senator La
Follette may be. They both say they
are Republicans. Is it any wonder
that a plain, ordinary Democrat has
some difficulty in deciding just what
a Republican is?”
GOVERNOR BRYAN TAKES
VOTE DRIVE INTO KANSAS
OBERLIN, Kan., Oct. 4. —Gover-
nor Charles W. Bryan, Democratic
candidate for vice president, came
south into Kansas today and opened
his campaign in this state with a
short talk before the Decatur Coun
ty Democratic organization at a
luncheon.
Mr. Bryan stressed the importance
of county organizations appointing
committees to work together in an
effort to impress upon the voters
their duty to cast their ballots in
the coming elections.
“You are the producers and the
candidates are -the consumers in
this instance,” he declared. “To use
a war term, you are the ‘mop up'
squad.”
Governor Bryan told of his life
time work in the interest of the
common people and declared the
“city of Lincoln, Nebraska, had
been for twenty the testing
ground for carrying out the princi
ples advocated by my brother and
myself through the Commoner sot
the common cause.” Before going
to the Chautauqua grounds Jo make
his set address. Governor Bryan re
viewed a parade in his honor and
inspected the live stock exhibits at
the county fair.

THBOBE OF REDJAZ
TO PROTECTMECCJ
CAIRO, Oct. 4. —(Jewish Tele
graphic Agency.)—King Hussein, of
the Hedjaz, former grand shereef of
Mecca, and recently self-proclaimed
caliph of all the faithful Moslems,
resigned at 9 o'clock Friday evening
from both the Hedjaz kingdom and
the Moslem caliphate throne.
The king put his signature to the
prepared abdication document after
he had spent many hours in prayer
and in wireless communication with
his sons, Feisal, the king of Mesopo
tamia, and Abdullah, the ruler of
Transjordania.
With tears in his eyes, Hussein
declared to his friends that he was
retiring only temporarily because of
his desire to protect the holiest of
holy Moslem cities, Mecca, from be
ing a center of strife and the pos
sible object -of destruction. He ex
pressed his hope that the all-Islamic
congress, which will convene soon
in Cairo, will re-elect him. The new
ly formed government has sent dele
gates to Sifitan Ibn Saoud, leader
of the Wahabi forces, to arrange for
terms of peace before he enters
Mecca.
The intentions and the proposed
course of action of the resigning
king and caliph are not known, but
it was stated he would proceed to
Mesopotamia to seek shelter under
the sceptre of his son, Feisal. Hus
sein’s family treasure has been res
cued and brought from Mecca to
Jeddah.
The Hashimite family, King Hus
sein and his two sons, came into
the limelight of Arabia in June,
1916, when Hussein, at that time
grand shereef of Mecca, after pro
longed negotiations with representa
tives of Great Britain and the al
lies threw off the mask of loyalty
to the Ottoman empire and com
menced hostilities against the Turk
ish army with a small group of
Bedouins, whom he induced to take
the field against Turkey. Subse
quently, Hussein proclaimed him
self king of Hedjaz and on March
7, 1924, after the compulsory ab
dication of the sultan of Turkey, he
was proclaimed Caliph by a group
of Moslems, representing Transjor
dania. Palestine. Mesopotamia and
Hedjaz.
Hussein, a scion of an ancient
Arabic family with century-old pre
tensions to the caliphate, based on
their direct descent from the proph
et, encountered great difficulties in
his aspirations toward th° cali
phate. Although practically master
of the Arabic countries, he could
not obtain the sympathy of the
whole Moslem world.
His main opponent proved to be
Sultan Ibn Saoud of Nejd, c«nttal
Arabia, the leader of the fanati’
sect of the Wahabis. Ibn Saoud
also a scion of an ancient family
of Arabia and who claims di;ec’
descent from Mohammed, was an
tagonistic to Hussein’s family in the
observance of his family traditions.

lar fire at the Unon Stock Yards at
South Omaha wthn a.perod of two
years, destroyed four buildings,
threatened two others and caused
| the entire fire fighting forces ol
i Omaha and South Omaha to put
( forth their best efforts to save other
I plants of the stock yards this morn
ing. '
The cause of the fire which start
ed in the Cudahy plant’s lumber
yard is unknown. Five box cars
loaded with lumber, on a siderack
near the yard, were destroyed,
sparks from the original fire quick
ly engulfing them in the spreading |
Hames. Besides the lumber yard, I
the box factory, hide factory, dutch I
cleanser -plant and several smaller
buildings were destroyed.
Company officials at the scene of
( the conflagration declined an offi
cial statement, but estimated the
I loss would approach a million dol
lars.
I At a late h our this morning j
further damage seemed improbable |
in view of the wind shifting from I
i the northwest in a northerly’ direc-
L tin. The south wind, it was indicat
ed, is fanning the flames in the di
rection from which they had spread,
practically eliminating further dan
ger to other buildings.

Atlanta postoffice, like last year, is
again marching toward a record.
Totals for the nine months’ period
covered by the three quarters of this
year, against the same period of
1923, sliow a gain of $113,064.46. The
total for this year is $2,494,117.92
against $2,381,053.56 for last year.
The total for the first three quar
ters of 1924 was onls $771,787.82
short of the entire 1923 total of
$3,265,905.74, which represented the
greatest year’s business in the his
tory of the Atlanta office.
September figures totaled $272,-
728.92 in 1924, and $252,248.64 in
1923, a gain of $20,480.28.

BRITISH SHIP SEIZED
■ —• v
Bankers of Two Nations Ac
cused-Acid Test for
New Liquor Treaty
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—-With the
capture of a rakish British steam
er with 11,000 cases of whisky
aboard, prohibition officials Saturday
claimed to have caused the col
lapse of an Anglo-American banker
( bootlegger alliance which, in the
past six months, has flooded this
part of the country with illicit
'iquox.
As a result of a three months’ in
vestigation coast guardsmen seized
the 37G-ton steamer Frederick 8.,
and her crew of twenty men fifteen
miles off Monmouth Beach, N. J.,
which the federal call the
first real test of the liquor treaty
with Great Britain.
Bankers of Montreal and New
York, and distillers and shipping
men in London and Halifax are said
to be members -of the international
bootlegging ring which, the dry
raiders said, has $10,000,000 behind
its operation of a four-ship fleet.
In addition to the prize capture
of the Britisher, four smaller craft
—fleet motor boats that bring the
liquor from the rum fleet to the
Long Island and Nliiy Jersey shores
—were taken. The captures, which
included u half hundred cases of
whisky and fifteen prisoners, W’ere
made by the marine police.
I One lone police boat, with lights
out, got three of the little craft off
the Rockaways single-handed. The
fourth was taken at Staten Island
while her crew were unloading
whisky on a dock.
A novel ruse was employed by the
federal agents to involve the crew
of the Frederick 8., in a test of the
new treaty which extends the an
cient three-mile seizure limit to the
distance of an hour’u sailing.
Race Against Time
After handing the vessel’s master
I SIOO,OOO in cash and checks to make
a fat liquor purchase agreement,
binding, agents asked for twenty
five “sample” cases to take ashore
at once. They put the “stuff’
aboard the fastest speed boat they
could get and raced ashore in forty
two minutes. This, assert the
agents, involves the bootleg ring In
a violation of the Anglo-American
treaty.
Their race against time completed,
the agents pressed the coast guard
cutter Manhattan into work. That
formidable armed little vessel steam
ed alongside the whisky-laden Fred
erick 8., placed under arrest tho
crew and two women found..aboard,
and proceeded witlT'{'he ship to an
underguard anchorage off the Statue
of Liberty.
John H. Clark, assistant United
States district attorney, later said
the capture was the most important
since the United States entered into
the new seizure limit treaty with
Great Britain.
Although the captors were inclin
ed to be reticent about the affair,
a few facts were gleaned concerning
the Frederick 8., and her operators.
It was learned, for instance, that
one of the women aboard —she is
about 26 ami rather strikingly dress
ed —was the daughter of one of the
English “higher-ups” in the rum
running conspiracy. Her compan
ion, said to be a woman of about
40, was described as the younger
one’s chaperon.
Two of the crew, who said they
were Harry Klein and L. Fletcher,
both of Newark, N. J., were ar
raigned before a United States com
missioner and held in $5,000 bail.
The eighteen others of the crew
were held for appearance before a
federal commissioner next Monday.
R. G. Merr*>*k, divisional prohibi
tion chief, wa. credited with having
directed the setting of the trap. The
actual investigation, in which six ac
tively participated, was under the
leadership of William A. Walker, ol
Washington, general field superin
tendent of federal agents, and Saul
Grill, a local sleuth with a long
record of successfully tricked boot
leg cables to his credit.
Huge Lots Landed
Grill and Walker posed as Penn
sylvania bootleggers, who scorned all
deals involving less than 1,000 case
lots. A series of champagne dinners
ashore and wild parties aboard the
vessel followed their introduction as
“big time bootleggers” to members
of the syndicate backing the Frede
rick B, and her sister rum ships.
In the past six months, Grill learn
ed, the fleet had landed at least 100,-
000 cases of whisky on this coast.
Grill and Waiker negotiated for
the purchase of 25,000 cases of whis
ky at $22 a case—a $550,000 transac
tion. Two weeks ago the Frederick
B put into port with the first con
signment of this order, but the wily
agents considered the seas too rough
to permit of their speed test trip
from ship to shore. 'So they per
suaded the Frederick B’s crew to
dispose of the “stuff” through other
channels.
The Frederick B returned from
St. Pierre Miquelon, last Sunday,
with 11,000 cases aboard. She an
chored off Monmouth Beach, and
there the deal was completed, the
money passed and the 25 "sample”
cases were taken from the deck load.
It was planned to get the remaining
14,000 cases here within the next
week aboard one or more of three
remaining boats, which the dry raid
ers claim constitute the syndicate’s
fleet.
A customs official tonight said the
Frederick B formerly was the Ber
nard M, a steam trawler. Her name
be said, was changed last June 21, at
Halifax. The vessel’s former p’ort
of registry was Kingston, Jamaica.
A port owner, the official said, was
i (.hat les Slewart, said to be the super
cargo. He was one of the men made
prisoner. The captain’s name was
given as Edward Wells.
Several high powered rifles were
taken from the ship after she had
been anchored in the upper harbor.
