    "Hey guys, did I tell you that I got a cherry and a mike stand for our next battle? That's right: Bought a bing, bought a boom!"

    (collective groan, angry muttering)

    "Lol, but seriously, I've decided to enact a new Continental Army policy about cherry trees: Don't axe, don't tell!"

    "Mass Held For Dead of Army and Navy Largely Attended at
    BROOKLYN NAVY YARD
    - New York, May 24.-There was a large attendance at the military fleld mass in the Brooklyn navy yard today.
    - As early as 9 o'clock the people began to gather at the navy yard gates although the mass was not to begin until 10:30. Every building facing the parade ground where the mass was celebrated was adorned with American flags and a profusion of the fags hung over the balconies of the marine barracks, before the center of which the elaborate altar was erected.
    - Before the mass there was music, both religious and secular, ranging from "Onward Christian Soldiers" to "Auld Lang Syne," "Annte Lauri," and "Marching Through Georgia."
    - The service was under the auspices of Gloucester Naval Camp of Spanish War Veterans, assisted by the Long Island chapter of the Knights of Columbus, and was designed as a memorial day tribute to the dead of the army and navy and marine corps of the United States. The celebrant
    was the Rev. William H. I. Reaney, chaplain of the navy and among his assistants were Father John F. Nash, rector of the Church of the Sacred Heart, and Father Chadwick, the Maine's former chaplain.
    - Among the several bodies officially in attendance were a detachment of the Marine corps, companies of blue jackets, the 69th, 47th and 14th regiments N. G., N. Y.
    - Rear Admiral Goodrich, commandant of the yard, had opened the yard to the public for this service."
