EMORIAL day is a day for
decorating the graves of
our warrior dead. Estab
lished originally in memory
of those who lost thelr
lives during the Civil war,
it has been made the occa
é gion for re
others who died In other
y wars, and 1018 the
day has had a deeper sig-
nificance for more Americans than
ever before.
When we speak of our World war
dead, we usually think of the
sailors and marines, the fighting men
who gave their lives on the battieflelds
of France or in the fathomless depths
of the Atlantic. But there werd others
besides sailors and marines
who also served and died their
country, and it is fitting that
should be honore

In Arlington also stands another me
morial recalling the sacrifice of men
who served in a branch of the United
States service which 1s too little
known to most Americans. This is
the stone obelisk, erected in 1928. in
memory of the 102 officers and enlisted
men of the United States coast guard
who lost their lives during the World
war,
The average American citizen, per.
haps, thinks of the coast guard main-
ly in terms of its newspaper notoriety
gained In chasing “rum runners,” little
realizing that its task of preventing
the smuggling of contraband liquor in-
to this country is only one of the many
services which it performs. For the
coast guard has a record of 140 years
of honorable service under its proud
motto of “Semper Paratus” (Always
ready) In performing various duties.
he coast guard was created by act
ot ngress in 1015 which brought
about a merger of the revenue cutter
service, and the former life-saving
service, The revenue cutter service,
to which the coast guard traces back,
was established in 1790 during the sec
ond session of the First congress upon
the recommendation of Alexander
Hamilton, the first secretary of the
treasury. The Continental navy had
been disbanded at the close of the
Revolution and there was no organized
armed force to protect the coasts of
the new republic and to enforce the
customs laws,

fnsaseme
Thirteen revenue cutters co-operated
navy and with
army during the Spanish-American
war. One of these, the McCulloch,
helped Dewey at the Battle of Manila
Jay and commendation
from the admiral and another, the
Hudson, took part in the action at
Cardenas, Cuba. ‘he officers and the
crew of the Hudson were awarded
medals by congress for their rescue
work of the torpedoboat, Winslow, in
this engagement.
This fine tradition was carried on
by the coast guard service during the
World war. On April 11, 19017 Pres
ident Wilson mobilized the coast guard
and the lighthouse service under the
command of the secretary of the navy
for the express purpose of resisting
the submarines, which it was virtual
ly certain that Germany would send to
attack our coast. How real that dane
ger was and the important part which
the coast guard played In curbing the
ravages of these deadly under-sea
fighters was revealed for the first time
two years ago when Little, Brown and
company published William tell
Clark's book, “When U-Boats Came to
America.”
In addition to operating in
waters, the boats of the coast guard
service also served on the other side
of the Atlantic. Six of its cruising
cutters were sent abroad to join the
naval forces in the war zone, princi
pally as ocean escorts working from
England to Gibraltar, While engaged
in this service, the Tampa was sunk
by a submarine and 115 of the coast
guard's 192 casualties were recorded

Chaplains, coast guardsmen-they
also served and died. But there Is
still another group whose sacrifices
are too little known and whose mine
ory should be honored on Memorial
day, They are the 271 heroic women,
members of the army nurse corps, who
Iald down their lives. Although none
was killed In action, three were wounds
ed by enemy fire. Two lost their lives
and one was seriously wounded in an
explosion in target practice on one of
our transports at sea. A hundred
more had a narrow escape from death
