Newsletter of the North Dakota School for the Deaf. 8 , 1 . Memorial Day. Of la,te- v.ears therje has probably been in the minds of most of us a vague feeling that Memorial Day would eventually lose, if not its significance, at least.;’its poignancy. The time is not remote when there will be n». more-parades, no-more--camp-- fires, of Grand Army men.;, when,, indeed,. „ there will be no longer Uny veterans of the Civil War. It has seemed probable that with the-parsing'of-the last • survivors of. the Civil War Memorial Day would cease , to stir emotion, to bring vivid pictures of a gallant past, to. rouse each separate community again to a proud consciousness of the. bravery and the self-sacrifice of ifs sons. No doubt there would still be patriotic exercises, more and more thinly attended; no doubt there would be some pious decorating of graves; but more and, more as the years went oil would Memorial - Day be likely to decline into a mere holiday, fyom which' all picturesquencss and symbolism had vanished. > : . ■< \ 1 Surely, there is now no possibility that the sacred day will meet witji such a fate. It is being-hallowed for us afresh by the bravery and the self-sacrifice of our sons. There are graves of our gallant dead in France that no hand will ever decorate, because they must be forever unknown; and there are other graves of American soldiers oversea*?1 that, we may trust the grateful land of Lafayette to keep inviolate J and green. In this country there are graves of young soldiers who have perished in the * service, who have given their lives for civilization as truly as those who .have fallen on the field, of "battle; and their graves will not be forgotten on Memorial Day. It is in every respect flitting that Memorial Day this year and hen'ceforth should eommeniorate those Americans who died in the Great War, as well as those who died more than half a century ago for human 'liberty and the preservatipn of the; Union.*• It -is; to maintain human liberty' and the union ?o£ the civilized peoples of the earth that Americans are dying to-: day. Negro -slavery in this country was never, even in its worst instances, to be compared for savage inhumanity with the slavery that Belgians and Serbians and Armenians are enduring to-day. The preservation of the Union was never so vital to the peace and prosperity of the world as is the preservation of the Union against Germany to-day. • • The Northern soldier of the Civil War fought a foe who was chivalrous and honor-* able; a foe who respected women and was kind to children; a foe with whom, when the war was ' over, he was at once willing to enter into relations of friendship and comradeship. Tt. is a foe of a dirrerent sort that our young American troops are facing now. ' Brutish, mean and cruel, tortures of helpless women and of little children, murderers of civilians on land and sea, our enemies to-day have nothing in common with those Southern farmer lads who fifty-three years ago laid down their arms and turned again to the plough. It is the triumph of our nation that the sons .of those Southern boys are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the sons of the North to put down what, please God, shall be the last effort to enslave any part of the human race. For Memorial Day there is an inspiring future. It will be no merely American day. In France and England and Italy and Belgium and Serbia there will be a Memorial Day—even though it may not fall, like ours, upon the thirtieth of May. Here and abroad what pride, what joy and what ennobling sorrow Memorial Day must bring in the coming years! In every village and town and city the men who have worn the khaki will be mustered into line; there, too, in line will be the gallant men of the navies that cleared and kept the seas. There will be detachments of American soldiers and sailors marching with the allied veterans in London and Paris and Rome and BrusTHE NORTH DAKOTA BANNER sels and' Belgrade; there will be French and British and Italian and Belgian and Serbian detachments niarcliing' with olir own young veterans in the Memorial Day parades in our great cities.* Brothers in -’a’Fms-fr-dm^aU'-wound- the world will meet-and. march to the music of tl.ie Marseillaise. Who on that day can see those young soldiers as they pass : and v be unmoved of countenance, unstirred at heart? Who will not see some of them through tears? Who will not see through tears the faces of young soldiers that he loved and that are not in. line—young soldiers $hat will never; march again? Who will not on this day , wish'with a keener pang,-a deepened intensity, that he, too, had been able to Serve in the great world army that won the war for civilization? . Will Germany, too, observe a Memorial Day after the war? It is quite possible; but always in the history of Germany it,{ will be a day of sorrow unrelieved. There will be no German veterans marching proudly through the streets of Berlin, per-, forming for a brilliant, glittering Kaiser. • There will be no military* parades in Germany. The people will brood gloomily over: the graves of their dead and the ashes of ‘ their hopes; there will be no day in the year< that will'not be a Memorial Day for’Germany, no day that will not b.e given to thought of all that it once had and alP that it. flung away.—The Youth’s Companion. --- BU^’W.

Any animal or bird like a lion or an eagle that seizes its. prey .is called -either “rapacious, voracious, raveneous or ferocious.” An animal that chews its cud is a “ruminant.” . An animal that lives much in water is an “aquatic”- animal. --- Animals that live in both air and water are called “amphibious” animals. Animals that sleep during the winter are said to “hibernate.” Animals that live in hot countries are called “tropical animals. Animals that live very far north are called “Arctic” animals. Birds that go to another climate each year are called “migrating” animals. Animals that are tame and live in or near men’s homes are “domestic” animals. Any long-legged bird that wades through the water looking for its food is called a “wading” bird. Birds that are hunted by sportsmen (hunters) are called “game” birds. A fish that can be eaten is called a “food-fish.” An animal having a jointed crust-like shell is a “crustacean.” An animal having a backbone and a skeleton is a “vertebrate.” An animal having no backbone or skeleton is an “invertebrate.” Any animal with a soft, fleshy boneless body (like an oyster) is called a “mollusk.” An animal that bites away things with its teeth is a gnawing animal or “rodent.”' : Any-bird that sings is called a “song '■'bird,” or “singing bird.” Any animal’that hunts its food at night is called.a “nocturnal” animal.—Selected. A—r-,BUY W. S. S. --- — Serbia’s Remarkable Feat. _A military writer in the Zeitung of Cologne, Germany, gives the Serbians the credit for being the best fighters the Central Powers have yet in the field. The incentive of the small nation was, of course, of the strongest. The Serbians knew that the Central Powers, nominally Austria, had decided to wipe out their nation. They also knew that their government had made every possible concession*and had done what was humanely possible to keep the peace. They could be hirelings and slaves or they dould fight and die against overwhelming odds. Without hesitation they chose the, latter alternative. Everybody remembers the terrific fight the •Serbians ‘ put up against the first invading Austrians. The proud Austrian forces were either, wiped out or driven like sh'eqp. Hence the overrunning of Serbia by Austria* was postponed. Later in the game the Austrians came back in overwhelming force, backed by numerous German regiments. The Serbians after fighting to the human limit, made their escape by an * almost superhuman winter retreat through what were considered impassable mountain gorges and so managed to reach friendly territory in such shape that they could reform" theiiv decimated ranks, refit themselves arid '■ came back into .the war a fdhfiidable fighting force. History.will give.the Serbians full measure of the glory bf their achievements. When the story of all this suffering and daring against odds is written it will form the most heroic chapters of this vivid war of naked heroism against the piled up brute force, of forty years of wicked scheming and cunningly concealed preparation.— The' Minneapolis Journal. — --- BUY W. S. S.— --- Lloyd George’s Power Shown. David Lloyd George is not a knight nor is he a lord. By profession he is a solicitor, and in England, a solicitor is the lowest grade in the legal profession. But Lloyd George today is the pillar of the people’s hopes, and the bulwark that stands between the pampered aristocracy and the people who have toiled through the centuries to make the empire and place it upon a substantial footing. It would be difficult to explain the power of this man. He has audacity, courage and is reckless of convention, but withal he is a deep thinker. He is a master of repartee, and the English heckler fares but poorly at his hands when occasion demands rebuke for interruptions during one of his public speeches. He simply smashes and pulverizes in his instantaneous retorts and leaves the heckler in a bewildered state. His voice, perhaps, is responsible for the power which he holds over his listeners. It combines the crooning of the mother, the wail of the winds, the storm, and the tempest, and the march of armed men. His voice and his methods are those of the Welsh preacher and he speaks like a prophet with heart aflame.—Dr. Charles F. Sked. |
