"Suddenly a wing collapsed on an American plane, and it was a pathetic sight to see it whirling round and round, like a piece of paper dropped from a great height, shining like silver as the-'rays of the 3ate afternoon, sun fell upon it, finally falling over the next hill--a pile of wreckage--and its pilot, a Lieut Phillips, "I believe, killed before "the fall, as two machine gun bullets had pierced his head.

"His appeal to the little children was for unselfishness," said Dr.

Ellis. "Civilization depends upon the trend of thought of the little children, "and Riley realized that and has performed a world service. Until recent times Charles Dickens hao been the children's author. There never was a more profound philosopher than our own Riley. He preached that one world-wide nged-- neighborliness--the secret to happiness." Dr.

Eil's recited "Out to Old Aunt Mary's" at the close of his talk. Mrs. Myra Reynolds Richards of Indianapolis, who modeled the statue, was presented to the audience and received an ovation. Wilbur D. Nesbit, who lives now in Chicago, read his poem, "In Memoriam," which was written at the time of Riley's death.

Nesbit and the Moosier poet were close friends. In his poem Mr. Nesbit says, "The lengthening miles have lured him to the after- whiles." In accepting the memorial statue for the city of Greenfield, Judge Jonas P. Walter declared that Riley loved Green. field all his life.

"His boyhood friends were his old-age friends," Judge Walker added. "The old town was dear to him and the people here were dear to him. The people of Greenfield have read and reread his books. "This monument stands in the scenes of his childhood and will always remind the people of Greenfield of our great Hoosier poet and the friend of all the school children of America." Mr. Foulke called upon Jap Miller, an old chum of Riley, whose name was mentioned in one of Riley's poems.

Mr. Millef said that years ago he did not have the capacity for loving people, but in 1888, -when he met Riley, the poet changed his life just as Riley had brought the love of unselfishness into the lives of thousands.

Mrs. J. H. Brooks of thia city presented the agate- toned granite pedestal upon which the bronze likeness of the poet stands. Mrs Rlchirds, the sculptress, has achieved a remarkable likeness of Mr.

Riley. His characteristic expression, his poise and his smile are wrought in bronze. Many Indianapolis persons attended the ceremonies. Mrs. Richards was accompanied by her mother Mrs.

On the other side of the road stood a little pile of masonry topped by a cross, and this cross still stood among its scraggv fir trees, unscathed by battle We placed our flowers on our sacred graves and went on up the road to a second little American cemetery, equally well kept.

You may rest assurgd that three of us at least did just as we had been advised. We had read of the newspaper woman who picked up a bomb, was killed herself, the lieutenant had just warned her had his arm blown off arid another newspaper woman was badly injured We had heard of three boys killed just a few days before by one of these bombs which one thoughtlessly picked up.

It was terrible to picture them coming through such a place as these woods In the night, not knowing what awaited them. The great gaping wounds in the hillside showed the ferocity of the great shells, and on across the road were the trenches and beyond them a lone tree looking off over No Man's Land.
