June 2, 1916. 
He spoke of the manner in which the 
negroes in the South turn out 07 
~Memorial Day to decorate the graves 
of Union soldiers. Referring again 
to Preparedness he said that in ’61 
Massachusetts was prepared “from 
tent pegs to shoe strings” and sent 
1500 men on the first call from Wash- 
ington. 
He said that right up until the out- 
break of the Civil War the authori- 
ties in Washington did not expect 
there would be any trouble and did 
not prepare. Sketching the history 
of the memorable trip through Balti- 
more when the Massachusetts troops 
were attacked by the mob of South- 
ern sympathizers, he said, “Four mea 
from Essex County fell in that fignt 
and their names should be known by 
every man, woman and child in the 
county,—Ladd, Needham, Taylor and 
Whitney.” . 
He told of the meeting of the 
troops by Clara Barton, afterwards 
founder of the Red Cross. He said 
that today her name is denied a place 
in the “Woman’s Service” building 
in Washington and the G. A. R. is 
fighting to have her recognized. 
Mr. Roe spoke of the Preparedness 
parades in New York and Boston 
and said that in Worcester on July 4 
taey were to have another. 
He scorned the pacifists who think 
that school boys could not stand the 
rigors of military drill, “Boys im 
school should be taught the ‘facings’ 
and ‘setting up’ exercises. They take 
to it like a duck to water. There 1s 
The drill should 
be given in the schools for then every- 
‘one will get it. Give it to the doctor's 
son, the clergyman’s son as well as 
the laborer’s son. This country 1s 
worth as much to one as to another 
and we owe it as an inborn duty to be 
prepared to defend it. There has 
been too much of ‘privilege classes,’ 
too much of the ‘let-George-do-'t 
spirit’ in this country. All boys should 
be taught military drill in the schools. 
ft will make them stand straight if 
nothing else, and other nations won't 
spoil for a fight with a nation ready 
to meet them.” New York has al- 
ready passed a Jaw making military 
training in schools compulsory. 
Mr. Roe said that Memorial Day 
was a good time to taik Preparedness 
as the concern of all must be for the 
present and for the future. Nothing 
could be done to change the past. He 
related incidents of the surrender of 
Lee at Appamatox Court House and 
some of the inaccuracies in the ac- 
counts of the final surrender. He saic 
that the Confederate troops who sur- 
rendered to Grant were the braves: 
men in history to lay down their
