"That this may not be again." In Una spirit Anierira and in a sense the World kneel today to pay homage to some unknown, unclaimed human body salvaged from the .soil of j outraged France, a mute victim ot the sacrifices which saved civilization.' As it to rededicate the cause for I which the Stars and Stripes were ! streaked with blood and millions oi j p ' crave men laid down their lives, this i Republic and its comrades in arms swung forth today and proudly lav IS ! ished honors, never dreamed of by any potentate, on this unknown dead "iiie'.

President Harding delivered the principal address, and his words lit erally were heard in New York, Chi cago and San Francisco, by means of "loud speaking" telephones. On this day, three years ago, there was brought to an end a maelstrom of conflict which engulfed and ravished the earth. During four terrible years war with murderous fire and devilish poisons destroyed the pride of races, wiped out billions in treasure, and with polluting breath laid low fair fields and thriving cities. This body today the most honored in history, was a human part of all this. This body Is the human story of mothers' teal's, of the sacrifices of a Nation. This is every mother's son, who came back alive or dead. Hut especially is It the boy of the mothers who left 2,089 unknown AniPrican sol diers dead on the World War battle fields. Today America's 1'nknown Soldier Hero lay in state in the rotunda of the National Capitol. The body rested on the same catafalque on which were i placed the bodies of the martyred Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and Mc- ; Kinley. Here, the body had rested for more than twenty-four hours, under a guard ! of honor. Through the day and ,igbt, I there have stood four silent sentinels, one near each corner of the hie". This bodyguard has been specially picked from the engineers, cavalry, artillery and infantry of the Army, and from the Navy, Marine Corps and National Guard, so that the four Sentinels on duty at any one time have represented different arms ami branches of the country'! alined forces. Barly today, at 8 o'clock, the hon orary pallbearers, generals of the Army and admirals of the Navy the least of men today and the body bearers, Army and Navy enlisted vet erans of the World War and other campulgns, cited for gallantry "over there," some of them wearing Am erica's highest bravery decoration, the Medal of Honor, assembled at the Capitol. On the broad expanse outside at the east front of the Capitol, the military escort for the Unknown Hero in the grand procession down historic Penn sylvania Avenue, was formed, It was headed by llrigadter General Harry H. Handholtz. commanding general of the District of Washington, and his staff, with them a band, a composite tegl-1 ment of regular army infantry, : ailors I and marines, national guard troops, I field artillery, and a squadron of cav alry.
