who pointed out the way, to do honor to the first American soldier to die in the great crusade for liberty, free- dom, justice and humanity. James Bethel Gresham reflected credit, in life and death, on the city that he called his home. He fell upon the field of honor at the age of twenty-three. In the heyday of his years, in the puls- ing days of youth. with the sunshine of life at its brightest, with love life and all its promise stretching out be- fore him. he faced the issue. He threw himself into the great adventure with fine enthusiasm and when the testing hour came, he fell with his face to the foe, paying in the most precious coin, the first draft on our country's ancient debt, which God willing, shall only be completely discharged. when shoulder to shoulder with our heroic allies, we shall drive the hordes of destroying Huns back to their own bounds and in the words of our great president, "make the world safe for democracy." Evansville mindful of the debt of obligation that it owes to the brave youth who held its honor high,has resolved to raise in his honor this Memorial Home.

This home will bear the hero's name and throughout all the years that are to come will be an object lesson to our youth, of loyalty, of pa- triotism, of pure devotion. of the wil- lingness to give the last full measure of love to the flag of freedom. The home is Evansville's tribute to the memory of James Bethel Gresham. It is no less Evansville's grateful gift to the mother who has made the sac- rifice supreme. All honor to the youth who fell facing his country's foe on that tragic strip of blood-soaked earth that we call No-Man's Land. His courage stood the final test and yet unclear for greater cour-
