":'"[' .President Says It "Make? Com¬ plete Surrender of Rights of United States.''
Wnshingtiiii.—In a short message to the huuse, I'resident Wilson vetued the Kiiux resolution which would declare wnr Willi Germany at an end. When read in the hou.se, it was reeelved vvith prolonged cheering by the Democrats, led by ex-Speaker Clark. Republican inembers remained siient for the most part, but expressed disapproval of the reference made to the failure nf the peace resolution to protect tlie free¬ dom of the seas.
The rresideiit's message pointed out that the moral obligations which the L'nlteil States assumed when It entered the vvar were left unsettled by the tallnre ot the senate to ratify the peace treaty. .\i (I'ieance of the peace resolutinii. tlie I'l'esideiit asserted, would "place iiiel'fae;ible siains un the gallantry and Imiinr of the United States."
None of the thinirs for which the Tl'niled Stales f.m-ht, ihe President said, '.vuiild be '¦Mifeguarded liy the Knox resoUiiiun and Oermany would not be compelled to take action by way f their ' "' setting rh-dit the intinlte wrongs ! which   it  did  to  tlie peoples  whom  It

The parade formed at the Moores- lown Church and headed by the Nazareth Y. M. C. A. Band, marched to the Fairview cemeterv. where prayer vvas offered bv Rev J e Smith, of Bath. After the graves of the departed heroes were decorated by members of the .Sundav-school an anthem waa sung after which the lirocession preceeded to the grave vard and due respect given those burled in these grounds.
The large mass of people then gathered on the large lawn in front of the church opposite the grave yard and Rev. Floyd R. Shafer of Tatamy. delivered a splendid patri¬ otic address.
