Sunny and fine - warm
Memorial Day. Had 2 in my class. Stayed to church and then home. In the aft. Mr. Hovelman told me that I could take his car all aft. and he even insisted that I take a dollar to buy some gasoline with. I took Mother down to Lake St. and then out Lyndale to Savage - She enjoyed in immensely. Came back and then took Pa put there too. Taught him to drive and he would steer one way when he meant to turn another.Had several narrow escapes, but he finally got it pretty good. Home and read "etc." Heard strains of music so I hopped on my bike and rode over to the pavilion where the working boys band was playing. Crowds "etc" just like in the Summer season. Home and to bed.

Fine, excellent sunny and warm
Holiday for Memorial celebration. Tightened up Hovelman's car a little in the A.M. Worked on the garage all day. Pa painted on the house. In the eve we 3 went down to the Calhoun Theatre and saw "The Christian." Home and to bed.
Germany's reply to our note of protest about the attacking of the Gunlight, Cushing, Faluba, and the sinking of The Lusitania has been received. She says that the commanders of the American boats acted mysteriously "etc" but that they were fixed upon by mistake. She says also the The Lusitania had concealed guns and Canadian troops on board and that the explosion of the ammunition which she should not have carried as a passenger ship caused her quick sinking. Germany evade the main issue and is trying to open up long diplomatic discussions. Pres. Wilson is now preparing a stern reply.
We are going to take a hand in Mexico I guess, because the people are starving and there seems to be no sign of peace as yet. We sent a message to them demanding peace "etc."
