According to a statement made by a prominent member of the .Sons of Veterans there is a strong move ment afoot among Grand Army men, Sons of Veterans and their auxiliaries to have Memorial Day fixed ns the last Sunday m May, instead of May 30th. The claim is made that there is growing up an observance of the day far apart from what was intended, and sepa rate as the poles from the sacred character that was originally in tended should characterize the day "There is not the least doubt," said the member above alluded to, "that in the past decade the day has lost much of its sacred charac ter through the introduction o sports and pastimes into the day, that 111 our opinion is one ot the most sacred days on the calendar, and in the nature of a holy, rather than of a holiday." The speaker said that the matter had several times been discussed in the council of the various orders and lately it has taken a new impetus. United effort on the part of these affiliated organizations, it is believed, will bring about the consummation of changing the date of the day through act of Congress. . . m .
