From the Grano Army of Unrcea
Veterans of Canada came a wreath
placed by Senator Richardson, old
est living wearer of the Victoria
Cross. There were flowers from
Newfoundland and from the army
and navy war veterans ot Canada
came a memorial woven of popples
that bloom In Flanders fields and
beside all the civil dignitaries
Great Britain sent to pay homage
Vent Earl Beatty, admiral of the
lleet. Air Vice Marshal Higgins
and others whose roles in the war
In which this unknown soldier
died were great.
Just at 8 o'clock the great main
doors, huge bronze barriers, em
bellished with Intricate figures
and designs and long ago given
the American republic, strangely
enough, by France, on whose soil
the soldier died, swung back and
the waiting hundreds stepped, up
ward tour abreast to pass by the
casket.
As the first line stepped within
the hall from the group beside the
bier, where the flowers were being
set In place male voices rose in
blended harmonies that awoke the
echoes in the high, vaulted roof
above, now flooded with sunlight
They sang the last verse of "Amer
tea":
"Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light."
They sang with a peal of victory
and ao hint of sorrow, and the
last notes died away down the
long corridors to right and left as
the line moved slowly on and out
the western entrance, dawn over
the terraced slopes that face out
With the white gleam of Washing
ton monument straight ahead and
still behind, seemingly cut through
the center by the great shaft, the
square white bulk of Lincoln mem
orial on the far brim of the Poto
mac. About the casket on its low base
those who passed by saw the five
soldiers, still bb though carved
from- bronze in their khaki trap
pings. At the head, arms rigid at
bis sides, his own head bent for
ward until the tan brim of his cap
bid his eyes, stood the non-commissioned
officer, the red of his
chevrons coloring his sleeve. At
each corner, facing inward to the
center, stood a soldier, rifle butt
grounded on the Btone flagging,
body rigidly erect, but also with
head bent forward until cap brim
was level with the point of his
gleaming bayonet. '
By 10 o'clock a steady stream
of people soldiers, men, women
and children, white and black
bad begun a continuous march
through the rounds.
Secretary Weeks, Assistant Sec
retary Walnwright and General
Harboard, were on hand waiting
to receive foreign delegations
Floral designs from every state,
on each of which was the state's j
shield, completely circled the ro-I
tunda.
All delegations came in from
the north entranco and stood by
the catafalque for the ceremony as1
the line continued to stream
through.

Ornj Vermifuge Is tbe
THREE years of peace have passed three years of
reconstruction. Surely, we as a nation, have much
to be thankful for much to console ourselves that our plight is not
greater or our burden more wearisome.
Peace on earth has been finally established. So let us offer cheer to the sorrowful, bounty to the
needy, and balm to the stricken. In this spirt let us celebrate this Armistice Day Anniversary.
And let us hope that the conclusions of the Disarmament conference, called by President Hard
ing, will pave the way to the eradication of war and that all its accompanying scourges will be effaced
from this earth; that the term "brotherhood of man" will bear a more definate meaning than mere words.
Let us make this a day worth remembering- as sacred and memorable as our national holiday the
Fourth of July. And let us rejoice that November brings forth two great days of thanksgiving Armis
Day and Thanksgiving Day.
Our Establishments Will Remain Closed all Day Friday, November llthl
