In Mcmorlnm THIS day Is dedicated to the memory of those who died in tho scrvlco of their country. They did not expect to die when they enlisted, but they were willing to give up their lives If It should be so ordered. They wero young men such as you meet every day on the street. There was no outward mark to distinguish them from others. But there was something In tho soul that differ entiated them from thoso who for one rea son or another thought It better to stay nt home. Cynics may glvo ono name to the quality and lovers of their kind may give another namo to It, but all agree that the man who lays down his llfo that the con ditions of living may be better for others deserves universal respect. The old men who march today in honor of their dead comrades wero not called upon to make tho supremo sacrifice, and they survlvo to join with tho ren of U3 In ex pressing our gratitude to thoso who havo found It In their hearts to fight for their country. Part of that gratitude goes out to the survivors. They are manifest heroes for a few hours now, and tomorrow they will bo absorbed Into tho great mass of citizens. Flowers and wreaths nre tho proper tribute for them as well as for thoso beneath tho sod no tinsel crowns, but the everlasting bay and tho blossoms that are tho promise of a recurring seed time and harvest of im mortality. Real Kultur AMERICA holds at least one German pa--triot who keeps his head and Kuno Francke, Professor at Harvard, has a head worth keeping. Regretting tho failure of Dcrnburg's mission, tho New Republic picks Professor Francko ob ono of tho few men who -might havo put Germany's position persuasively before us. Professor Muenster berg's oh-so-different colleague is Indeed "sincere, humane, sensitively aware that opinions opposed to his own, wishes In con flict with his most fundamental wishes, havo a right to oxlst." Only such a man could write upon the Lusltanla disaster such a "German Prayer" as: In this the end of Europe? Then, O God, In thy great mercy save my people's soul Irom utter dnrknesi In the world's 'downfall! Raise it above the lust and rage of yore. Rejuvenated, purified, inspired. That It may shine upon a new-born age And shed its glory o'er the world once more! O Spirit of my Race, thou art not crushed to' earth! Toothbrush Drill IT ISN'T pleasant to admit that Manhattan has tho lead on Philadelphia In any Meld of human endeavor. But certain events last week In the schools of Now York shouldn't be overlooked for a mere matter of local pride. "Seo it and do It" Is a better motto than "Always right." Those events wero the toothbrush drills of "hygiene week." Teachers lectured on the superiority of tooth paste over stick candy as a preventive of toothache. Specialists from tho dental societies demonstrated the best methods of wielding the brush. And to give the whole thing somo sort of real zest, many of the schools went Into Central Parle on Saturday for a teeth-brushing competition before tho dental specialists and tho movlo men. The general result In Now Vork was the appearance of 700,000 individual toothbrushes nnd tubes in school, and the Impression among tho pupils that a little foresight and energy were better than toothache nnd Ill- health. The general result In Philadelphia should bo a go-thou-and-do-Hkewlse feeling. The Proper Commercial Hosts WHEN the new Chamber of Commerce Is thoroughly organized and In working shape it Is expected to act as the commer cial host in behalf of the city n welcoming nnd entertaining business delegations such as are here or o be here this week. The group of Chinese business men, which arrived yesterday, Is being fittingly enter tained by the Manufacturers' Club, That organization will exhibit to the Orientals the skilful way In which Americans can com bine social and business functions, and the Chinese will not be allowed to leave town until they have learned something of Its commercial greatness. The Boutb, American financial experts who have been attending the Pan-American conference in Washington will arrive tomorrow, and will be In the care of a special committee appointed to show them the eights, and a, few selected Indus tries. The Spanish business men, who camo here a few weeks ago, were welcomed In a moat Informal manner; but they were !m liressed with tho enterpriie or our business men.

Republican Parly lMust Evolve Policies for a New Era "VreVKlt has tho KepubHean party been ' confronted with a greater task or a greater opportunity than at present. It camo Into being no the result of a great crisis, tt will come back Into power as the result of another crisis equally as great, Our domestic concerns nre bolng relegated .to relative unimportance In comparison with tho pnrrtmountcy of national policies that nffect our International Interests, There Is needed a strong party, pursuing a definite policy, to take command of affairs and steer the nation with practical Acuteness through tho crucial period which Is already at hand, Thero aro flvo essential undertakings to which tho party must dedicate ltsolf and for which It must stand without equivocation nnd without hesitation. First A great navy commensurate In strength with tho wealth and standing of this nation pmong other nations. Second A constructive program for the quick rehabilitation of the merchant ma rine, by mibsldles If need be. and the strengthening of our trade relations by a comprehensive consular and trade-expert scrvlco throughout tho world, an Important adjunct to which shall be a strong banking symem mat win cover the commercial man. Third A strong rorelcn policy which will assure the protection of American eltUens and Interests wherever situate. Fourth A protective tariff, scientifically constructed, which will assure an Ameri can market for American goods. Fifth A definite declaration that success in business Is a worthy, not an unworthy, achievement; and that as success In world trade requires vast resources in capital, the formation of sufficiently strong corpora tions to assure efficiency will not bo dis couraged, but will be distinctly encouraged by tho United States. Of these things tho most Important by far Is preparation for tho national defense. Tho country will not bo hoodwinked again by phrases such as an "adequate navy." It will require an Interpretation of tho meaning of tho phrase and insist on knowing Just how largo a na'y the promising party intends to furnish. All Europe is engaged In a commercial war. Our growing trade imperils our friendly relations. "What tho Powers abroad nre fighting for they expect to get. They will regard us a3 an interloper. Wo expect to keep what wo acquire and to reach out for more. Wo do not wish 'to have loaded pis tols against our head wherever our trade is great. Tho destiny of tho nation will be deter mined by tho policies it indorses next year. Tho Republican party must take up tho fight, along tho definite lines proposed above, and wring victory from tho hesitant chaos into which the country has been plunged by an undecided Administration. Internationalizing a Blunder THE Wilson ship purchaso plan, which Congress refused to approve, has been recommended to the South American Govern ments by tho Transportation Committee of tho Pan-American Conference. It is pro posed that Argentina, Brazil, Chill, Uruguay, Ecuador and Peru comblno with the United States In creating an International corpora tion to build and operate steamship lines. Each Government would buy a fixed propor tion of the shares and tho public would bo asked to subscribe to tho stock, and the na tional treasuries would meet the deficits that arose In operating the ships o" unproflt able lines. Instead of paying a direct sub sidy to privately owned ships they are to havo the ships operated by men who will not care whether they are run profitably or not, and an Indirect subsidy Is to be paid in order to make the books balance at the end of tho year. The postofUce has been sub sidized In the same way for generations be cause the Postmasters General were not able to make both ends meet. If wo aro to havo an American merchant marine worthy tho name, touching nt the ports of tho world, South American as well as European, African, Asiatlo and Aus tralian, we must recover from our terror of words like "subsidy" and "subvention" and go at the problem of rehabilitation In a straightforward way with tho determination to open the seas to privately owned American ships by offering such effective Inducements as will attract capital to the business. The Wilson plan, which they seem to be attempt ing to Internationalize, will most effectively drive private capital from the seas and dis courage what we should all try to encour age. A shipping policy which would be foolish If adopted by Congress does not become wise when It is Indorsed by an International com mittee.

By GEORGE W. DOUGLAS A MOTHER In black, putting some flowers on a grave,' a, young widow, leading small children who placed a wreath on a monument marking a spot where there was rto grave, but only a memorial; and youths, hiotherlees once, nnd fatherless now, stand ing sadly beside a mound In tho cemetery these are what wero Been on the first Memorial Days. Thero was no set time for decorating tho graves of the dead soldiers fifty years ago. Hut they wore not left un adorned. There was hardly a family In the North or tho South from which somo mem bet' had not been taken. Grief covered tho country like a pall, not tho sorrow for a gre.t national calamity, but tho personal and poignant sorrow that pierces tho heart. Tho men who fought tho battles of tho Civil War were hardly men. Tho nvcrago ago of the soldiers wes well under 20 years. Tho boys, tho flower of the youth, tho young fellows of high spirits and brilliant promise, had gono to tho front. With tho unbounded con fidence of their audacious spirit they dared Death. They knew that they wero protected by their own lnvlnclblo courage, nnd that life, which had Just begun for them, would continue far into the Indefinite future. Their fathers and mothers knew better. And tho boys Who went forth with smiling ft-ccs were brought back In a wooden box, whllo tho church bolls tolled and a squad of escorting soldiers fired a final salute over In the grave yard, llut some of tho boys did not como duck ni an. Tney are lying now In un marked graves. Their names may bo on a tombstone In a cemetery somewhere, but their great memorial Is tho national monu ment In Arlington Cemetery, dedicated "To tho Unknown Dead." Informality of Early Observances So tho early Memorial Days, observed at tho convenience of tho different mourners and tho different communities, wero porsonal and Intimate. Grief was very near to tho friends of tho dead. It was a bond which Joined rich and poor and buttressed tho foundations of our great American democracy. It was Inevitable, too, when so many fnm lllcs wero mourning, that thero should bo a demand for a concerted arrangement for decorating the graves. This is how Memorial Day as an Institution camo Into being. Tho Grand Army of the Republic took first for mal notlco of It In 1808, only three years after tho close of the war. And In the North it soon became a Grand Army function. Tho survivors assumed tho duty of keeping green the graves of tho fallen. Then the Stato Legislatures wero asked to make the 30th of May a holiday. And It Is now a holiday In all tho States except Florida, Georgia, Lou isiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessco and Texas. But Tlmo heals all wounds. The heartrend ing grief of tho years following the war, when mothers could not bo reconciled to the loss of their sons nor widows to their widow hood, has been spent. Tho mothers, alas, aro dead. There cannot bo moro than a scoro of women yet alive whoso sons wero In tho armies of tho Civil War, and such of them as havo survived aro so old that Instead of grieving over tho partings of the past they are yearning for tho reunions of tho futuro and regretting that they are delayed so long. The nation still honors Its heroic dead, but it has ceased to mourn them. A Day for Outdoor Sports The transformation In the character of Memorial Day from a tlmo of funoral ob servance to a day for outdoor sports and tho formal Inauguration of tho season of summer amusements is human and in ac cordance with historic precedent. The saints' days of tho church, tho anniversaries of tho martyrdom of tho holy, are not times of mourning, but of rejoicing over tho transla tion of a human soul from the troubles of this world to the peaco of tho next. So tho day has become, not a memorial of the gravo, but a sort of a spring festival, a cele bration of tho awakening of the world Into a now llfo. It might bo called n kind of secular Easter so far as It Is a popular holiday. Tho graves of the soldiers aro no longer decorated on the day unless It bo in tho smaller communities. In all the larger cities the preceding Sunday is devoted to the task, and committees of the different Grand Army posts visit the cemeteries where their com rades are burled, and lay upon tho graves the symbolic flowers. The day itself is given up to other occupations. In some communi ties thero is still a parade, with patriotic exercises In tho cemeteries. But tho festival character of the time Is more prominent than Its memorial aspect. The War Is History The war has been over for 50 years, It Is a historic event, and not a memory, to every man of 65 nnd even of 60. Two generations have come upon the stage since tho peaco of Appomattox. The Union and Confederate veterans fraternize as though they had not fought. There Is hardly an unreconstructed Southerner left, and there Is certainly no Northerner who would ever think of hanging Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree, as they all wanted to do at one time. We cannot under stand the feeling of the nation 40 or even 30 years ago. The old men remember It, but the younger men have to read of it in the histories. They know tho purpose of Memo rial Day, but it Is no easier for them to mourn for the dead of half a century ago than to weep at the tomb of Washington or before the monument to Lincoln, When one thinks of the slaughter going on In Europe at present, and reads the reports of battles and the descriptions of the scenes In the hospitals, and sees in the illustrated papers pictures of the mourning friends as the dead are taken from the train which has carried their bodies home, it Is' possible to get an impression of what was happening for four years right here at homo half a century ago. We thought that we had a great war and that the national Memorial Day was a beautiful Institution. The nations across the sea are planting the seeds of mourning that will outlast the present generation, and Justify In every one of them the establish, ment of a holy day, when all shall go to the cemeteries together to place a wreath on the green earth which Is resting lightly on the bosoms of the mU who have loved their country wall enough to die for her, ' ' WWW W ' ' ' '!"- TIME TO COOL 6FP From the W6binton Star.

BULGARIA, tho world expects to hear, will Join before long In the' great wnr, but It is quito certain that her actions will bo nolther pro-Teuton nor pro-Ally, but solely In furtherance of her dream of em pire. When tho European war broko out Bulgaria was keeping steadily In mind the words spoken to tho army by the Czar Fer dinand after the peaco of Bucharest, "Ex hausted, but not vanquished, wo havo had to furl our glorious standards In order to wait for better days." She had accomplished marvels In army reorganization and now strategic railroads were well under way. Tho war came too soon for Bulgaria, but now that it has como sho has to make tho most of it. It Is not yet Bulgaria's day, but If that day evor comes tho nation will strike savagely for tho fulfillment of her ambitious dream. As Italy has its Italia Irredenta and Greece its Unredeemed Hellas, so Bulgaria looks for a great national revival which shall extend beyond the presont national bound aries. Like Italy and Greece, moreover, Bul garia remembers a great empire of tho past. Out of a Triple Slavery In a most Interesting and timely article in the Century Magazine, T. Ldthrop Stod dard, a writer of exceptional familiarity with international politics, treats of modern Bul garia as "ono of tho most extraordinary phenomena of human history." Less than forty years ago, as Mr. Stoddard says, tho Bulgarians were wretched serfs, exploited to tho limit of human endurance and triply en slavedslaves of Turkish militarism, Greek ecclcslastlclsm and Russian Pan-Slavism. In Bulgaria proper each of these obstacles to national progress has been eliminated. The removal of the third of these obstacles, the Idea of Russian Pan-Slavism, Is perhaps the most significant at the present time. Mr. Stoddard writes: "No one Bhould minimize that generous enthusiasm of the Russian people for the liberation of tho 'Little Brothers of the South' which fired the Russian armies with crusading fervor in the Russo-Turkish war, Tho Russian Government, however, looked at things from a far less Idealistic point of view. Not dreaming that these downtrodden peasants could, after five centuries of com bined Turkish and Hellenlo domination, pos sess an Intense national conclousness, of ficial Russia saw in the Bulgarians only an amorphous Slav mass easily moldable Into 'neo-RussIans,' faithful marchmen of the empire, much as the Cossacks had once been. "Tho Bulgarians soon showed the world the fallacy of the neo-RussIan Idea, based as this was upon utter Ignorance of both their historic past and their ethnlo compo sition. During the Middle Ages the Bul garians had cut a prominent figure on the Balkan stage, building up a powerful empire that threatened even Greek Constantinople. Of course, this was long ago, and It Is not surprising that a worjd which had almost forgotten the Byzantine Empire should have entirely forgotten the Bulgarian one. Never theless, In the retentive minds of the Bul garian peasants, the memories of their old Czars lived fresh and green, and when the hour of liberation struck tho glories of the medieval Bulgarian Empire wero trumpeted forth over the land, rousing the folk like a clarion call to a great destiny, The Ox-cart and the Hare "This was much, but there waa more be hind, The Bulgarians are normally classed as Slavs. So they are partly. Yet the world too often forgets that the primitive Bulgarians were not Slavs at all, but an Asiatlo people of Turanian stock, who In the seventh century burst upon the primitive Slavs recently migrated pouth of the Danube and settled down as masters. L,esa numer ous than their subjects the conquerors were soqn absorbed, losing their speech and pe culiar Identity, Nevertheless, the blopd was a potent one, for these Turanian Bulgara left behind- far more than their name; they stamped upon the new folk traits which et it distinctly apart in the category of the Slav peoples, 'Jl moment', analysts will clearly provo Sf ' VJ "Oh, men who died in battle and in -prison, Or on the long march fell beside the way, From those far heights to which your souls have risen Look doivn, look down, and counsel us today." this. Your typical Slav, whether ho dwoll on tho Russian plains or tho Servian hills, is an idealist, prone to loso sight of hard facts In day dreams, Capable of great ac complishment when under tho stimuli of his enthusiasms, In ordinary times tho Slav is an easy-going, improvident, open-handed person, essentially likable, but lacking that practical characteristic efficiency. How dif ferent tho Bulgarian. Restrained, sober, dour: with occasional outbursts of passion, but usually taking oven his pleasures sadly: intensely practical and hard headed; with out a traco of mysticism; frugal to tho point of avarice; so solicitous about his future that this frequently becomes an obsession; above all,' possessed of a dogged, plodding, almost ferocious energy translating Itself normally Into unremitting labor such is the folk. 'Tho Bulgar on his ox cart, says the national proverb, 'pursues tho hare nnd overtakes It.' " That destiny for tho Bulgarians resisted the doctrine of Pan-Slavism, except in so far as It smoothed their path ipward Its realization, was what? "It was, first, the re union of tho whole Bulgarian race from tho Black Sea to the Albanian mountains, and from tho Danube to the Aegean. Then, strong in its central position, this 'Big Bul garia' would force the other Balkan peoples to acknowlcdgo its hegemony. Finally a united Balkan Christendom would expel the Turk from Europe, nnd a new Bulgarian empire soat Itself at Constantinople, always significantly known to Bulgarians as 'Tzarl- grad,' the 'City of tho Czars.' Grandiose al most to absurdity appeared this ideal of tho devastated little peasant State created by tho Congress of Berlin. But, if Bulgaria's dreams were great, her waking hours wora long, and all were given up to strenuous endeavor and rigid self-denial, These high hopes became part of tho national conscious ness. They braced every Bulgar to glgantlo efforts. Before long a whole series of start ling successes showed this folk to be pos sessed of a sombre power and reckless courage which undoubtedly made the goal seem less Impracticable." Bulgaria's Czardom But the diplomacy of the Powers Interfered again and again, as it did in Balkan affairs generally. Finally came the Peace of Bucha rest, which was most Intolerable to Bul garia, as it established what Its dictators considered "the principle of Balkan equilib rium." "Balkan equilibrium," as Mr. Stod dard remarks, "means In practice that when ono Balkan Stato gains others must gain, too. This cuts like a scythe, mowing down any head rising above tho dead level of Balkan equality. Obviously there Is here no place for hegemony, no room for the mighty czardom of Bulgaria's dreams." Czar dom, for when the Young Turk revolution of 1908 gave Ferdinand the chance to re nounce his shadowy vassalage to the Sultan ana ueciare Bulgaria's 4ndepepdence, "his assumption of the proud title of czar went much further; It proclaimed to' the entire world Bulgaria's wllj to empire," DANCING AS A PREMIUM To the Jitfltor 0 Bventnff Ledger! Sir You say in your leading editorial tonleht "The city must have the Joy of dance for lta youth. But the saloon-cabaret, never!" Either you or I misconceive the present opportunities for occasional dancing in this city by young folks of good breeding, except at "elaborately prearranged batls." Where, among our "bet. ter" hotels, can a man drop In with a girl or' two on a Saturday afternoon for a few dancei and a little chat, and pay for the privilege as euch? Bather, he must accept the dancing as a premium thrown in wth a meal or some drinks that he does not want. And he will feel that he Is cheap if he accepts It without seeing to It that his check, representing his consump tion, is large enough to Interest the manage, ment. I dropped In one Saturday afternoon last winter at a hotel, expecting that my little Party of twp could dance an hour or ao and pay for it the proper price to Insure desirable sur roundings. Instead, I found that the dancing was wholly subordinated tq the consumption of alcohol.
