WHOLE WORLD JOINS IN PAYING HONOR (Continued from page 1) the clamor that marks less sacred moments in the, life. Out there in the : broad avenue Out'1 there in the broad avenue was a simple soldier, dead for honor of the flag. He was name; less. No man knew what part in the great life of the nation he had filled when last he passed over his home tfoil. But in France, he had died a3 ; Americans always have been ready to die, for the flag and what it means. They read th message of the pageant clear, these silent thousands along the way.- They stood in almost holy awe to take theirs own part in what was theirs, the glory of the American' people, honored here in the honors on America's nameless son from France. Soldiers, ' sailors and marines all played .their part in the thrill ing spectacle as the cortege rolled along. Anr just behind the cas ket, With Its faded French flow ers on the draped flag, walked the president, the chosen leader of; a ; hundred million in whose name he was chief mourner at this bier. Beside him, strode the man under whom the fallen hero had "lived and died in France, General Pershing, swearing only the single medal of victory , that every - American soldier might wear, as his only decoration, j All Classes Represented jThen row on row came the men wno lead the nation today, or have! guided its destinies before. They were all there, walking proudly with age and frailties Of the flesh forgotten. Judges, sen ators, representatives, highest of fleers of every military army of government and a trudging little group of the nation's most val iant sons the medal of honor men. Some! were gray and bent, and drooping with old wounds; some trim and erect as the day they won their way to fams. All walked - glally in; this nameless comrade's last parade. , i Behind those came the carriage in which rode Woodrow Wilson, also stricken down by infirmities as he served in the highest place of the nation, just as the humble private riding in such state ahead had gone down before a shell or bullet.' For that dead man's sake the 'former president had put aside his dread of seeming to parade his physical weakness and risked his health, perhaps life, to appear among the mourners for the fallen. . There was hand clapping and a cheer here and there for the man in the carriage, a tribute to the spirit that brought him to honor the nation's nameless hero, whose commander In chief he had been. Dignitaries in Line After President Harding and most of the high: dignitaries of the government had turned aside at the White House, the proces sion, headed by its solid blocks of soldiery, and the battalions of sailor comrades, moved on with Pershing, now flanked by Secre taries Weeks and Denby for the long road to the tomb. It march ed on, always between the human borders of the way of Tictory the nation had made for Itself of the great avenue; on over the old bridge that spans the Potomac, on up the long hill to Fort Myer, and at last to the gate of the great, cemetery beyond where sol dier and sailor folk sleep by the thousands. ; The lumbering guns of the artillery swung aside, the cavalry drew their horses out of the long line and left to the foot soldiers and the sailors and ma rines the last stage of the jour ney, j. - . Ahead the white marble of the ampitheater gleamed through the tres. It stands crowning the slope of the hills that sweep up ward from the river and just across ,was Washington, its clus tered buildings and monuments to great dead who have pone before, a moving picture in the autumn haze. ..-..; People la thousands were moT ing about the great circle of the ampitheater. The great ones to whom: places had been given in the sacred enclosure and the plain folk who trudged the long way just to glimpse the pageant from afar, were ! finding their plaees. Everywhere, within the pillared enclosure bright uniforms of for eign soldiers appeared.' They were laden with the jeweled orders of rank and merit worn to honor an American private soldier, greater than any there in the majesty of j his sacrifices; in tne tribute his honors were paid to all Ameri cans who died. VrttfMs Rury Casket Down- below the platform, and placed for the casket in a stone vault, lay wreaths and garlands brought from England's king and guarded by British soldiers. To them came the British ambassa dor in the full uniform of his rank, to bid them keep these trib utes from overseas safe against that hour. Above the platform gathered men whose names ring through history. Briand, Foch, Beatty, Balfour, Jacques, Diaz and others in a brilliant array of place and power. They were followed by others. Baron Kato from Japan, the Italian statesmen and officers. by the notables from all countries gathered here for tomorrow's con ference and by some the older figures in American life, too old to walk beside the approaching funeral train. Down around the circling pil lars the marble boxes filled with distinguished men and women, with a cluster of shattered men from army hospitals, accompan ied by uniformed nurses. A sui pliced choir took its place to await the dead Faint and distant, the silvery streams of a military band Btole Into the big white bow' of the amphitheater. The Blow cadenc es and mourning notes of a fun eral march grew clearer and the roll and matter of muffled drums. Procession is Silent At the arch where the choir waited, the hero comrades of the dead, lifted his casket down and. followed by the generals and the admirals, who had walked, be side him from the capitol, he was carried to the place of honor Ahead moved the white-robed choir, chanting solemnly. Care fully the casket, was placed above the banked flowers aad the ma rine band played sacret melodies until the moment the President and Mrs. Harding stepped to their places beside the casket; then the crashing, triumphant chords of the Star Spangled Ban ner swept the gathering to its feet again. A prayer, carried "Out over the crowd by amplifiers, so that no word was missed, took a moment or two, then the sharp clear call of the bugle rang "at tention" and for two minutes the nation stood at pause for the dead iust at high noon. No Sound broke the quiet as all stood with towed heads. It was much s though a mighty hand had check ed the world in full force. Then the' band sounded . and in a mighty chorus rolled up the words of America, from the hosts within and' without the great t pen hall of valor. President Harding stepped for ward, beside the coffin to say for America the thing that today was nearest to the nation's heart, that sacrifices such as this nameless man, fallen in battle, might per haps be made necessary down through the coming years: Every word that President Harding spoke reached every person through the amplifiers and reach ed thousands upon thousands in New York and San Francisco. Strong Emotion Shown Mr. jHarding showed strong1 emotion as hi3 lips formed the last words of the address. He paused, then with raised hand and head bowed, went on in the measured, rollfng period of the Lord's prayer. The response that came back to him from the thou sands he faced, from the other thousands out over the slopes be yond, perhaps fromf still other thousands away near the Pacific, or close packed in the heart of the nation's greatest city, ross like a chant. The marble arches hummed with the solemn sound. Then the foreign officers who stand highest among the soldiers or sailors of their flags, came one by one to the bier to place sold and jeweled emblems for the brave above the breast of the sleeper. Already, as the great prayer ended, the president had set the American seal of admira tion for the valiant, the nation's love for brave deeds, and the courage that defies death upon the casket. Side by side he laid the medal of honor and the dis tinguished service cross. And be low, set in place with reverent hands, grew the lon'g line of foreign . honors, the Victoria Cross, never before laid on the breast of any but those who had served the English flag; all the highest honors of France, and Belgium and Italy, and Roumania and Czecho-Slovakia and Poland. To General Jacques of Belgium, it remained to add his own touch to these honors. He tore from the breast of his own tunic the Medal of Valor pinned there by the Belgian king, tore it with a sweeping gesture, and tenderly bestowed it on the unknown Am erican warrior. Prayers Are Sincere Through the religious services that followed and prayers, the swelling crowd sat motionless un til it rose to join in the old. con soling words of "Rock of Ages," snd the last rite for th ad was at hand. Lifted by his hero bearers from the stage, the un known was carried in his flag wrapped, simple coffin, out to the wide sweep of the terrace. Thf bearers laid the sleeper down above the crypt in which hart been placed a little of the soil of France. The dust his blood helped redden from alien lands will mingle with his dust a3 time parches by. The simple words of the burial ritual were said by Bishop Brent, flowers from the War Mothers of America and England were laid in place. For the Indians of Am erica, Chief Plenty Coos came to call upon the great spirit of the dead man, with gesture and chant and tribal tongue that the dead should not have died in vain, that war might end, peace- be pur chased by such blood as this. Up on thecasket he laid the coup. slick of his tribal office and the feathered war bonnet from his own head. Then the casket, with its weight f honors was- lowered into the crypt. (iuns Fire Salute A rocking blast or gunfire rang from the woods. The glittering circle of bayocnets stiffened to a ealute to the dead. Again the gune shouted their message ot onor and farewell, again they boomed out; a loyal comrade was being laid to his last, long rest High and clear and true in the echofs of the guns a biigle lifted the old. old. notes of taps, the lulaby for the living soldier, iu death his requiem. Long ago some forgotten poet causht it meaning clear and set it down that soldiers everywhere might know its message as they sink to rest: "Fades the light; "And afar, '(ioeth day. cometh night. 'And a star, "Leadeth all, speedeth all. "To their rest. Tho puns roared out arain in the national salute. He was home. the unknown, to sleep forever among his own. Jam Is Immense WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. While thousands were paying trib ute to the unknown American at Arlington today, almost as many more were fighting hopelessly to make their way to the ampi theater, through the worst traf fic jam the national capitol has seen in many years. The tie-up. which reached its greatest density on Highway bridge, across the Potomac, com pelled cabinet members and ma jor generals to go part of the way on foot and almost prevented President Harding from reaching the ampitheater in time to take part in the two minutes' silent tribute. Twice before it reacheid the bridge, the president's lim ousine had to mount the curb and circle through the grass plots of Potomac park and the needle's eye of the bridge itself was threaded only by the assistance of a flying squadron of speicial policemen. Dignitaries Left Out Police officials blamed the army which had nominal charge of the Armistice day program, and the army in turn blamed the police. As a result of the argu ment not only many of thel gen eral public, but some high offic ials and foreign dignitaries missed the ampitheater services entirely and sat in their automobiles for hours unable to proceed or turn back. NEW YORK, Nov. 1 1. New York's throbbing heart of trade was stilled today in reverent tri bute to that heroic heart, forever stilled, that was laid to rest with the highest honors the world could pay In Arlington national eemeitery. Prayers Are! Offere A vast crowd in and around Madison Square garden, obeying the same trumpet call that sum moned the throng at Arlington to attention at noon, stood with bowed heads, motionless, for two tolautes, offering prayers for the JJead and for perpetuation of the peace he died to win. At . the same moment the city's wheels of industry droned into silence, transportation ceased, tugs and ferries idled in the har bors; telephone service was sus pended; telegraph instruments ceased tlreir clatter, citizens everywhere in their offices, in the greait railroad terminals and even on the streets, stood with bared "heads bowed in 'homage to the symbolic unknown who had died that theiy might live. Flags at Half Mast . Flags at half mast flew through out the. city. Public builidings, military posts, visiting Bbips in the harbor ships that bear the flags of nearly all the nations of the world not excepting the Ger man displayed their colors at mourning. Observance of the sacred mo ment centered at Madison Square garden, where telephonic ampli fying devices had been set up to connect Arlington and New York. The great hall, festooned with the flags of America and the al lies, was packed far beyond its seating capacity of 15,000, and the crowd outside filled every available inch of Madison Square park long before the first voice call lover the wires from Arling ton announcing that the body cf the unknown was being placed on the catafalque, and that Pres ident and Mrs. Harding were en tering the ampithelater. Wires Tell All From that moment until the last tremulous strain of "taps" died away the audience was, in spirit, with the vase concourse at Arlington. Every word that was spoken, every hymn that was sung; descriptions of the casket with the military medals of eight nations and with the wreaths of two nations, war mothers all came over the wires to the mourn ers in and around the garden.

Half an hour before: the com mittee of women arrived, four wounded soldiers from Walter Peed hospital drew up in front of the home in an automobile. A few minutes later the former president appeared. There was a cheer and the crowd rushed from all sides, scattering police and Boy Scouts until the street was choken. 1 Children Received Mr. Wilson doffed hiB high hat in response to the cheers and then was assisted as he slowly descend ed the steps. He shOoK hands with each of the ' wounded men in turn ' as the crowd j continued its cheering and waving of hand kerchiefs, flags and flowers.

Several bunches ot chrysanthe mums were presented by the children and by women who rush ed to the door from the crowd. Women Sing National Air Mr. Wilson re-entered his home but soon appeared at an upper window in response to continued applause. Soon the committee and organizations responsible for arranging the demonstrations ar rived from Arlington. During the short wait that preceded the sec ond appearance of the former pre sident on the portico women in the crowd on a terraced lot across the street began to sing "The Star Spangled Banner." Other voices took up the strains until they were welling from a thousand throats. As the former president appeared to receive the commit tee there were cheers for the "League of Nations" and Mr. Wil son vigorously waved his hat in his right hand. Repeatedly men in the crowd called for cheers for the league and each time Mr. Wilson's face lighted up and he waved his hat in unison with the hurrahs of the crowd. : Xo 111 Effects Suffered Mr. Wilson was astir early to day to take his place In the fun eral procession of the unknown soldier.
