This article discusses the issue related to various international affairs. An examination of the most recent bit of radicalism put dyer by a Legislature which rejected prohibition, discovers the provision that all able-bodied men between the ages of eighteen and fifty must be habitually and regularly engaged in some lawful, useful, and recognized business, profession, trade, or employment until the termination of the war. To most Americans of the present generation Memorial Day brings fragrant memories, as they live over again some soft summer afternoon of years long gone. They see once more a brave little procession, headed by the village band, with white-haired veterans hobbling along in the place of honor, wending its way to the cemetery on the hillside.
