WabHuvulON, May 30.—" This
ean be aone. It must be done. It
+WEiI be done.” President Wilson,
speaking toaay at the Suresnes Cem
elcry, 1n tne suburbs of Paris, with
these words expressed his convicuon
OI tne urumate success of the league
Ol natons. ‘L'ne text of the address,
cabiea Irom Paris to the White
House, 1000WS!:
Mr. Ambassador, Ladies and Gen
tlemen and ‘Fellow Country
men:
. No one with a heart in his breast,
L 0 American, no lover of humanity,
'can stand in the presence of these
graves without the most profound
emotion. These men who lie here
"Ac men ot a unique breeda. Their
ike has not been seen since the tar
avs of the Crusades. Never be-
H)‘.t have men crossed the seas to a
foreign land to fight for a cause of
Pumanity which they did not pre
tend was peculiarly their own, but
knew was the cause of humanity
ghd of mankind. And when they
i&me they found comrades tor tneir
courage and their devouion,
Gave All They raag.
They found armies of liverty al
veady in the field—-men, ' who,
though they had gone through three
fars of flery trial, secmed only to
* S just discovering, not for a wo
ment losing, th® high temper o 1 the
great. atfair, men seasoned in the
kioody service of hoerty. Joining
Lands with them, the men of Amet
ica gave that greatest ol ail gllts—
the gift of life and the gift of
spirit.
Jt will always be a treasured
memory on the part of those who
Kknew and loved these men that the
testimony .of everyoody who saw
them in the field of action was of
tehir unflinehing courage, their ar
dor to the point of auaacily, their
jull consciousness of the high cause
they had comg to serve, and their
‘Menstant vision of the issue, It is
L"Lllxhrfnl to learn from those who
Saw ‘these men night and saw them
wAaiting in the trenches for the sum
moens to fight that they had a touch
of the high spirit ot religion, that
®they knew they were exhibiting a
spiritual as well as a physical
might and those of us who know
nd love Amerwa Know that they
were discovering (disclosing?) to
e whoie world the true spirit and
devotion of their motheriand. It
was America who came in the per
aon of these men and who will for
evel be g.atelul that she Wwas sO
represented.
Not on Alien Soil.
And it is the more delightful to
entertain these thoughts because
we know that these men, though
ruried in a foreign, are uoul bdburied
L aua ten soil. They are at home,
slcepiug with the spirits of those
who thought the same thoughts and
ente. tained the same aspilrations.
The noble women of Suiresnes have
given evidence of the luviug sense
with whicn they received these dead
as their uwn, for they have cared
' their graves, they have made it
fleir interest, tholr loving luterest,
to sée that there was no hour of
neglect, and that constantiy through
#l, the taonths that have gone by
the motneils at pome shodid KNow

2L this wa is that it has brought

But it would be no profit to us
to ogize the {(llustrious dead |if

.~ MEMPHIS, TENN., May 39.—Miss
Alexa Stirling, of Atlanta, natioual
‘'woman golf champion, will have stern
opposition Saturday in the finals \»[l
ithe Southern Woman's Golf '."mm-i
pionship at the -Memphis Country
?(‘luh. which begins at 3 o'clock. Thxsl
'favt has been slowly dawning on gal-l
leries who "have been following lhel
lpla)'. and became a certainty Friday
when Mrs, Dave Gaut, of the Memphis
Country Club, took a- 29 for: seven
holes of her match with Miss Minna
Beasley, also of Memphis, while the|
| Atlanta girl was carried to the four-|
teenth green by Mrs. R. Paul Towner, |
of the Colonial Country Club, Mem- |
phis, before Miss Stirling could win, !
5 to 4. |
The champion was off her game.|
Her drives outreached Mrs. Towner's,
from 20 to 50 yards on every tee, but|
the Memphian was using her mashie|
with deadly accuracy and was taking|
but one putt to the green on the first]
nine. Mrs. Towner won two hulesi
and halved five, the best showing vet|
made by an opponent ol the nation's |
champion. She actually had Miss |
Stirling all square at the seventh, |
but: from then on Miss Stirling re-|
covered her game. |
A remarkable flock of stymies set-|
tled on the eleventh green. Miss Stir
ling was on in three and Mrs. Tow nerl
in four laid the champion a stymie.
Miss Stirling took a putt endeavoring|
to circle Mrs. Towner's ball, and laid |
Mzs. Towner a stymie. The Memphian|
then took,a niblick in a courageous;
attempt to negotiate it, but hit Miss |
Stirling’s ball with her own, driving|
it over the cup.
l After referring the point to Mrs.|
Kennteh Duffield, Southern champion,
who was in the gallery, Miss Stirling
replaced her bali. Both missed the]
next putts, and Miss Stirling holed |
out for a six.

Charges that the milk dx'nhn'nrm‘
or “middlemen” and not the ;,,...{
ducers, are responsible for excessive
'milk prices in Atlanta, were made Fri- |
day morning by Dr, Peter F. Bahn
sen State Veterinarian, who took al
prominent part in the organization of |
| the Georgia M Producer A Bsocia
tion at the (hamber of l’vnnnl'-l'u'}
Thursday night
Dr. Bahnsen declared that the dis
tributors operate in the same mannel
"|~ v trust, and he compared them
with the speculators on the t-x-’
changes He declared that the pro
ducers are not getting the excess|
| profits being paid bv the people ufl
l,\‘un"u for their milk
. “All the producers want,” he smd,.
“is fair play RBefore | entered ln'ui
plans for the organization I told every |
lnumlnl in the open that if 1 thought!
{ they had any other intention than mi
imu'-u' their interests that 1 unulli
'have nothing to do with the \nml»|
l'l\n.; |
“The perfection of our organization
is just a step on our part to break
dowr the practice that the people of
Atlanta are complaining about so vig
orously At the present time we are
'at the mercy of the middlemen. The
producers sell at a fair profit, the
companies we sell our products to
raise the price sky high and the pro.
duce: has to rtake the blame,
“At the present time ‘nroduc'u are
getting 42 cents a gallon for their
sweet milk, or a little over 10 cents a
quart which 18 not an exorbitant
price. Of course, the person buyineg
the milk has to pay 2 or 3 cents ex
tra for shipping charges, making the
swoeet milk cost him about 45 cents a
gallen,
“It can be proven easily that the
producer gets only from 40 to 45 cents
a gallon for his sweet milk, and in
miny instances he doesn’'t get even
that. On some occasions, when the
market is flooded, the middleman will

price on a basis of the butter-fat
value, as lald down by the buyer,
Then the latter sells it at the usual
price for sweet milic”
Dr. Bahnsen pointed out the im
practicability of the producers deliv.
ering milk directly to the consumers,

out at 3 o'clock in the morning and
spends four or five hours getting his
milk ready to take to town, would
have to constime practically the whole
day earrying his milk around to the
custonr ers and it would entall neces

be puid for. The only thing he can
do that is practicable, is to sell it to
the most convenient market that will
pay him a fair price”

Lisbon, shortly after she started from
the Portuguese capital at 1:20, New

imile flight to Plymouth, England
She is undamaged, according to
wireless messages received here, and
will continue the flight as soon as

| message from Lieutenant Commander
| Read, of the NC-4, sent at 6:30 this
morning, New York time, was picked
sup by the station at Brest. It read:
{ N('-4 down Mondego River., 0. K,
™M Ist wait high tide Continue to
keep station What is best point to
{north to land seaplane within 300
I miles "
‘ Read’'s request for information as
to the best point at which to land
‘led naval officers here to believe the
seaplane had encountered some
trouble and that Read planned to land
and repair her before proceeding to
Plymouth. Spare parts had been
sent to Brest with the understanding
that if anything went wrong he would
attempt to bring the seapiane inte
that port for repairs, but his message
indicated he might not he able to
make Brest, el
The Mondego River empties into
the Atlantic at Cape Mondego, 93
miles north of Lisbon. Both London
and Washington dispatches reported
this morning that the NC-4 had
passed Station A, en route from
Lishon to Plymouth. Washington
dispatches reported this station 200
miles from Lisbon. This report may
have been incorrect, or it is possible
that Read, after passing Station A,
encountered engine trouble and
turned back, seeking a suitable hare
hor into which to take the plane,
Strong cross winds forced the NC-4
to land on the water, said a wireless
message received at Plymouth., She
will resume the flight tomorrow.
