The text of President Hard

an unknown soldier at Ar

Mr. Secretary of War and
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are met today to pay
the impersonal tribute. The
name of him whose body lies
before us took flight with
his imperishable soul. Ve

but only that his death
marks him with the ever
lasting glory of an Amer

Bishop Theodore Henderson of De
troit, head of the Methodist Epis
copal church in Michigan, said to
day in an address before an Armis
tice day mass meeting of all re
ligious organizations in the city.
"There will be a vacant chair

New York, Nov. 11.- A little
army of gray haired women New

Square Garden to sit for an hour
in the seats of honor and listen
while the unknown soldier's body,
symbolizing all the sons they gave
to their country, was laid to rest,
with a nation's homage, at Arling

Th mothers, more than 1000 of
them, were escorted by a guard of

side had been equipped tilled the

An hour's program.of music and
addresses within the garden w.s
scheduled to precede the Arling
ton ceremonies.
Theodore Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy, was select
ed to preside and Martin W. Lit
tleton to deliver the principal ora
tion. A chorus of 1500 school chil
dren was present to lead in the
singing of patriotic hymns.
Many business houses through
out the city observed the day as
a holiday and all were required to
suspend activities for two minutes
beginning at noon as the church
bells tolled and devote the period
to prayer and meditation.
New Structures

of mothers are wondering
today finding a touch of
solace in the possibility that
the nation bows in grief over
the body of one she bore to

rein to fancy, a score of sym

a militarist sits in the chair the
skeletons of ten million soldiers
who died in the world war will
haunt the conference and it will
come to naught. If an economist
sits there and argues that we must
reduce armaments because war is
too costly, then the ward lords of
the world will chuckle with glee.
Not until we declare war is an un
mitigated curse and a denial of the
gospel of Christ will war ever be
abolished."
London Pauses
To Honor Dead
And Rejoice
London, Nov. 11. On the stroke
of the hour marking the third an
niversary of the armistice in the

a mute two minute testimony to

to the fallen.

distance, imitating the booming

went to half mast and every head
was revenlly bowed in a suunes

a woman here and there among the
quiet masses. Throughout tne
city every wheel had stopped turn

Know Only His Glory
We do not know his station
in life because from every

response of caravans which
braved the murderous seas tc

preserved civilization.
The service flag marked
mansion and cottage alike

We do not know the emi

do know the glory of his
death. He died for his
country and greater devotion
hath no man than this. He
died unquestioning, uncom
plaining with faith in his
heart and hope on his lips,
that his country should
triumph and its civilization
survive. As a typical sol

would color the stream of

was none less If he craved
more than triumph of coun

he hoped for a victory for all
human kind. Indeed, I re
vere that citizen whose con
fidence in the righteousness
of his country inspired belief
that Its triumph is the vic

Urging that the people still up

Radium Is
Used First
Time Here
The only radium in Oregon,
outside of the city of Portland,
was used yesterday by Dr. E. E.
Fisher, Salem physician, in treat
ing a pre-cancerous growth on a
woman patient from Oregon City.
Dr. Fisher recently purchased CO
milograms, or about three-fourths
of a grain of radium.
This amount, held In four tiny
i silver needles, cost $6000.
Whether the operation is suc
cessful or not can not be deter
mined for several weeks, Dr. Fish
a. . ..i.t
Radium, which is one of the 80v
odd elementB which make up the
earth, is found most abundant
if the word might be used In
Colorado and Utah. When mined
it takes about 400 tons of ore to
produce one gram, or 15 grains, of
radium.
Radium, which causes virtually
n0 sensation when applied. Is used
in treating cancer, chronic ulcer,
catarrh, cataracts, certain blood
diseases and gland diseases, birth
marks, skin tuberculosis and
thickened skin diseases. It Is espe
cially valuable as a curative for
chronic skin diseases.
Radium acts by destroying the
neclei of the cells of the growth
It was employed for the first time
In Salem yesterday.

HONORS PAID
NATION'S DEAD
President, Two Former
and Soldiers of World Powers Join In
Symbolic Service With Comiades and Fam
ilies of Men Who Gave "Their AH"
Washington, Nov. 11. Laid to rest with all the honors a
grateful nation could pay, the Unknown hero from France
was bivouacked among the gallant dead today in Arlington
national cemetery.
The highest officers of the army and navy walked behind
his coffin ; none but the hands of gallant comrades of the
great war laid hands upon it. President Harding walked
behind his bier to do him homage ; Former President Wilson
made his first public appearance in months; General
Pershing turned aside an opportunity to ride and trudged
beside the body to the last resting place. Representatives of
foreign governments reverently laid their highest military
decorations on his casket, and with soil from France where
he fell unknown, he was laid away.
Minute guns at Fort Myer boomed their continuous tribute
as the funeral procession was passing from the capitol to the
great marble amphitheatre in Arlington, where the cere
monies were opened with the playing of the Star Spangled
Banner by the marine band.
After winding its way between
the long lines of a reverent multi
tude in the streets ot the capital,
the funeral procession tolled up
the long hill leading to Arlington,
arriving at the main gates a lit
tle after 11 o'clock. The invited
guests Including great chieftains
of the war, were seated In the box
es of the amphitheatre and on the
long rows of marble benches, and
thousands were standing. Thou
sands more stood outside, or any
where, to merely be near.
Wilson Is Cheered.
When former President Wilson
passed in his carriage, Mr. Hard
ing saluted him by taking off his
hat and the former president re
turned the salute. The crowd
cheered. The reverent bllence all
along the line had only been brok
en by handclapping and some
cheers as the former president
passed by. After passing the
White House Mr. Wilson's carriage
turned out of the procession and
drove him home.
It was Mr. Wilson's first public
appearance since March :, when
he rode up Pennsylvania nvenue
with President Harding. The
comment was heard in the crowd
that the former president, long a
sick man, looked better than many
folk expected.
