NATION’S DEAD HONOURED
CELEBRATION IN UNITED STATES.
REVIEW OF BATTLE FLEETS.
By Telegraph—Press Assn—Copyright. New York, May 30.
Throughout America to-day parades and other ceremonies are being held in honour of the nation’s war dead.
President Roosevelt journeyed to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and addressed a crowd on the civil war battlefeld. He compared the then spirit of patriotism and national pride as against sectionalism now evident. America needed to win the war against depression, with the same spirit which saved the nation in the crisis of 1861-65, he declared. The president to-morrow will review combined battle fleets at the entrance to New York Harbour. It will be the greatest mobilisation of naval power since the fleet returned from European War duty in 1919, and will comprise 82 ships with 35,000 officers and men, and three aircraft carriers with 185 aeroplanes.
