President Harding and General Pershing marched on foot behind tha casket of the unknown soldier. Ex President Wilson Joined the proces sion In a carriage. This waa said to have been his first public appear ance since he left the White House;' and it was remarked that bis appear ance Indicated that be waa doing thU at some risk to bis health, or even to his life. , v President Harding's memorial ad dress was characterized by atrongr practical sense, fitness of expression, and fine adaptation to the demand of the time for which be is becoming; ' noted. The reading ot It does not convey the Idea ot a strained effort at oratory. He spoke aa the month- piece ot the American masses In tb calm expression of their patriotic fer vor, their tenderest emotions and their deep longing for an abiding peace.

It on the casket of tbe unknown American.

It was the rdan of the French government, heartily cooperated in br the people, that every Frenchman and Frenchwoman, on November Uth. should be consniciously busy. Hema- rial services were held here and there. But the national observance of the oc casion was postponed to Sunday. Tha intention in all this was to convey ta the world the Idea that the French pecp'.e are devoting themselves, above everything else, to the task of repair ing the wastes and ravages of the war. An "unknown" French soldier was ta be burled ou Sunday under the Ara de Trlumphe, which was erected ta commemorate French victories, and .has ben devoted to the barial cf French heroes.
