fresh graves, for the bodies that are COM

are here inferred. There is another Sec
ton. in which are buried women who
have served as nurses in tie field. There
are score of such women buried here.
Since Arlington was established the regI-
lations have permitted the wives of Off
GERS to be buried there. Three years ago
the regulations were so amended that the
wife of any soldier sailor may find a
resting place here beside her husband.
Arlington is located upon the original
site of the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Gen. Lee lived in the old colonial man
sion which is today the administration
house for the cemetery at the time of
the breaking out of the civil war. In
1861 the federal government confiscated
the Lee estate, which amounted to 100
acres and was one of the handsomest
country homes in Virginia, being not
unlike Mount Vernon, twenty miles down
the Potomac. On this Lee estate now
stand not only Arlington, but Fort Myer
and the Arlington experiment station
where are located the gardens of the
Department of Agriculture. After the
war the Lee heirs sued the government
for this property which had been con-
fisccated, won their suit and We're paid
for the property. In this old house to-
day lives Supr. Magoon of the cemetery,
himself burly veteran of many battles.

bons Iron Brigade that lost 50 per cent
of its members at Gettysburg.
Congress has always been liberal In
providing for this resting place of the
dead of the army and navy. The last
legislative move in that direction is pre-
paratory to the building of an amphi-
theater in Arlington that will surpass
any structure of it's kind in America.
Congress some years ago appointed a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-05-26

commission to investigate and report
upon the advisability of building such an
amphitheater. President Taft, then Sec
rotary of War. was a member of that
ent of the United States Capitol building
and grounds. was another member, and
Judge Ivory G. Kimball representing the
Grand Army Of the Republic, was the
third.
This commission reported favorably
upon the advisabiity of building the
amphitheater. Congress asked for plans
and these have been prepared along the
Greek theaters The amphitheater is to
provide for the seating of 5000 people,
for standing room for 1000 more and
room on the platform for 500 guests of
honor. Suitable crypts, chapels rooms
for the President and Vice President and
a museum for historic relics are provided.
The whole structure is to be made Of
white marble and built along strictly
classic lines.
The amphitheater is to be an open air
While following very closely the models Of
olden time. a certain colonial architectural
atmosphere is to be introduced: this CO.
lonial itself being merely an adaptation OF
the Greek and Roman. Alphabetically
the structure is also to be built to har-
monte with other public buildings in
Washington, such as the White House
and the Capitol. which are renaissance.
Both tie Senate and the House have ac-
quiesced in this plan for an amphitheater,
and it's building is regarded as certain.
The chief purpose of this building Is
that the great of the nation may have
suitable place to commemorate Memorial
day. For a generation 1T has been the
habit of Presidents to go to Arlington on
Memorial day and participate IN the serv-
ices to be held there. Always the Presi-
dent is surrounded by members OF his
cabinet, by dignitaries of the army and
navy and the diplomatic corps, and by
members of Congress from practically all
the states Of the Union. This is the most

grave of Bob Evans. so recently has he
died. Near him Is the grave of another

thousands of cases the individual soldier
has died bravely In battle, yet his mother

There has always been the haunting fear
that perhaps he died coward, deserted
to the enemy, or otherwise acted dis
creditably. There has been no means of
establishing the truth.
Years after the war; the federal gov
eminent made an effort to recover the
bodies of these estray soldiers and bury
them in Arlington. Altogether ali were
found, and now lie beneath the tombstone
of the unknown in that cemetery. The
old negro or the Isolated farmer who in

led soldier Of the north or south. has, fol-
lowing an offer of SO reward for all such,
pointed out the grave of an estray. and
the remains that lay there have been
transferred to Arlington.
Aside from these, there are 900 other
graves in Arlington that mark the re-
mains of soldiers or sailors who were
never identified. A slab with the name
and company marks the grave of a known
soldier, while a square stone with a num-
Der marks the unknown. Only last month
the bodies of sixty-f1ve unknown. heroes
were added to those that already rested
in Arlington. These were men of the
Maine whose bodies had been recovered
when that great ship had been raised
from the mud of Havana harbor and
had finally been forced to give up its
dead. A special plot is set aside in Ar
lington for these heroes of the Maine,
and the monster anchor Of that good
ship has been placed in the midst of this
plot as a monument to the dead.
