The audience stood uncovered un til the stalwart medal of honor men, with slow and solemn tread, bore their . burden through ; the west entrance and around the. Eight colonnade to the flower covered a pee. It was preceded only' by the clergy .and choir, followed by the pallbearers.. The choir, roed in black and white, sang "The Bon of Ood Ooes Forth to War," during the processional around the colonnade. Ae far as the eye could see the roads around the- ampltheatre were choked with automobiles. rRESIDEUT ARBITES .

The prised Victoria Cross for which hundreds of men have fought and died, was placed there on the bier of the Unknown Soldier. The Earl of Cavan, the personal representative of the king of England, read the citation.

Italy. Roumanta, Cxecho-Slovakia and kPoland, followed with their highest honors. SCE5E EMOTIOlTeX It was an emotional scene never to be forgotten. Mrs. Hardin frankly and openly sobbed softly throughout the services. There were few dry eyes In ths audience when the president finished his speech. As Prince Lu bora Iraki, the Polish 'rep resentative, completed the ceremonies, the audience rose and eang, "O, God Our Help in Ages Past" Then followed a Psalm by Chaplain Laxaron. and "I Know My Redeemer Liveth" from Rosa Ponselle and scriptural reading by Chaplain Frasler. Once more, the sad, beautiful strains of "Nearer My God to Thee" sounded above the tomb of the soldier. A hush fell over the audience as the body-bearers once mors took up their burden and began the short walk to the grave. PLACED IX GRATE At a half step to the solemn cadence of "Our Honored Dead," the Journey was begun. First came the clergy, then the body and then the president and Mrs. Harding, the vice president and Mrs. Coolldge, cabinet officers, Foch, Beatty, Jacques, Kate the world's greatest military and naval leaders. At l:li the body was placed on the sarcophagus home at last from its thousands of miles of travel. The band broke Into "Lead Kindly Light" as the mourners ranged themselves about the simple bier. In a voice quivering with the emotion he did not attempt to hide. Chaplain Brent then pronounced the commitment Naval and military figures drew into the background while motherhood paid Its tribute to the dead. TAPS.

Lower Freight Rate Farmers' Need, Says Ex:Gover$or Lowden Addressing - the Holstein-FrleslaJ as sociation, of which he is president Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, pointed out that prosperity among the Kgrlcnltural interests of the country de- tended on a reduction of freight rates. The address was given at a- dinner held in the Portland hotel Thursday night by the members of the association and their friends. George A. Gue, one of the leading breeders of Holstelns In the Northwest, presided over the meet- tar- ' "The increase in rreignt rates nas practically deprived the producers of many - farm' commodities of their best market Lowden said. The first step toward stabilising farm production is to bring transportation charges to a point where the farmer can regain the Araer lean market which he mas lost "We must learn that in America no clan and no section can genuinely pros per unless all prosper. I have no sym pathy with the Idea that the interests of the East clash with the interests of the West or the South. Correct economic principles know no geographic division."
