It was one of the great emotional outpourings of U.S. history. In it were mingled grief and 4atitude and a fervent be lief that it would never, never happen again. Congresc Passes Bill The 1914-18 "war to end war" had been over for three years. Britain and France had set an example of honoring , their dead by burying un kribwn servicemen in nation al shrines at Westminster Ab bey and the Arc de Triomphe.

Four flag - draped caskets were placed in the chapel. They contained unidentified bodies of American dough boys, exhumed from military cemeteries near four great battlegrounds of the western front. At 3 o'clock in the after noon of Oct. 23, 1921, a non commissioned officer was chosen at random from the ranks of U.S. troops guarding the chapel. He was Sgt. Ed ward F.

Presi dent Warren G. Harding and Gen. John J. Pershing, com mander of the American Ex peditionary forces that had fought in France, went to the rotunda to place wreaths. Then the public was allowed to file past the troop guarded, catafalque. Thousands Pay Respects Wreaths and sprays poured in from patriotic organiza tions and individuals so many that the huge rotunda became an almost solid bower of flowers. On Nov. 11, Armistice day, residents, of the capital city awoke to the thump-thump of the guns at Ft. Myer, which continued firing once each minute for four hours. The funeral procession left the Capitol and moved down Pennsylvania ave., past huge crowds. A mounted escort of cavalry led the way. Behind them detachments of soldiers and infantrymen marched at slow time. Gen. Pershing and other high ranking officers of the Army and Navy followed the casket. While the procession was moving across one of the two bridges that then spanned the Potomac river, ' President Harding's limousine, en route to Arlington on the Virginia side of the river, was caught in a -terrific traffic jam. Police had to route him across a bumpy field to get him out of it. Harding reached Arlington Memorial Amphitheater at 11:50 a.m., on time, but slight ly out of breath. The great marble amphitheater, built in 1915, was already filled with U.S. and foreign dignitaries. The casket rested on a cata falque near the front center.

Harding had urged in a proclamation that all Ameri cans take part in the services. In thousands of communities, churches held religious serv ices timed to coincide with the Arlington rites. The turnout was so great that one writer was moved to comment that "the unknown soldier has turned the Ameri can nation to religion more effectively than any preacher or evangelist has ever done."
