The outlook toward the capital city
beggars description and artists from
every land have gone into raptures
with pen and brush over its beauties.
The scene is wide and far reaching.
In the foreground the historic Po-
tomac is seen with Georgetown and
Washington on the opposite shore; far
to the north is the great white tower
of the Soldiers Home, and in the
south the spires of Alexandria come
into view. Almost in the middle of
the picture" the tall shaft erected in
memory Of General Washington
stands out against the sky. and on this
the eye centers and fingers. After all,
it seems most fitting that the men
who gave their lives for their country
should sleep their long sleep on the
heights which overlook the capital Of
the land for whose honor they fought
and died.
The grounds with their hills. valleys
and plateaus are noble In themselves.
The great oaks bend their leafy
boughs almost to the ground as II pro-
tecting the rows Of unknown dead
which rest beneath their shade. In
deed, 1t seems as If Nature had pre-
pared this particular spot for the pur-
pose for which it is now being used

ing the winter months many Of the

rope splicing take place in the sea-
manship building. Setting up" exer-
cises and the Swedish movements are
taken to strengthen the body. Target
practice Is held at the gun sheds on
the river front by the use of Morris
tubes and dotters. Loading machines
are used and the midshipmen soon
become proficient in this. Submarine
drills. torpedo firing and the laying
of mines are also studied. Target
practice on shipboard Is held at the
close Of the summer cruise.

become Ensigns, upon receiving their
diplomas, go to their homes for
months vacation before they are as
signed to the ships. The other three
classes start on their annual cruise
the next morning.
Cruise to Panama Pacific Exposition.
This year the cruise Will be through
the Panama Canal to San Francisco.
where the middies Will enjoy the Pan

added attraction to the great Fair.
Three battleships will make up the
cruise squadron-the Wisconsin, COM
manded by Commander f. A. Traut:
the Ohio, in charge of Commander J.
T. Tompkins, and the Missouri, under
the command Of Commander C. F.

During the cruise the midshipmen

The Spanish American War section
already contains several thousand
graves and a number Of monuments.
The central one, a tall Doric column
surmounted by a bronze eagle, was
erected by the Colonial DANES in
memory of the men who fell in that
war Nearby is the tomb of Admiral
Sampson and other officers who took
part in that war. There is also a
special monument to the Rough Rid
ers and to the nurses who served in
that conflict.
The Maine Memorial.
The bodies Of about two hundred
and fifty men who met their death
when the Maine was blown up in the
Havana harbor rest In part of the
Spanish American War section. One
hundred and sixty-three bodies were
sent to Arlington shortly after the
disaster, and several years later, after
the United States Government raised

were placed in the cemetery. One Of
the anchors and several mortars serve
to ornament the plat. After the final
sinking of the hulk of the Main out
side the Havana harbor the mast was
sent to Washington and afterward set
up at Arlington as a part of the me-
mortal erected by the United States
Government in memory of the men
who lost their lives on the il-fat ed
battleship. This memorial is the
masterpiece Of the entire cemetery.
The lower part. representing the tur-
ret of a battleshlp. is of white marble
on which the names Of the dead men
are inscribed with the mast in the
center with rope ladders reaching to

the dedication of the monument set
up to :hc memory of the men who fell
in the Mexican campaign. 1t has since
become one of the famous war poems
of the world. The remains of Colonel
O'Hara lie in the Mexican War sec
ton of the cemetery.
The main entrance is from the
lower road on the east Of the man
sion through what is known as the
Sheridan Gate--an imposing structure
fanked on each side by two imposing
columns which once stood at the War
Office in Washington. When this
building was reconstructed in April
1879, the pillars were transferred to
Arlington and set up at this point
Farther down Is another entrance
rarely used. known as the Mcclellan
Gate-a handsome portal built Of red
sandstone and named in honor of the
first Commander Of the Army Of the
Potomac. Two of the six War once
columns form the Ord and Weitzel
Gate which opens into what is known
as the Lower Cemetery.
Splendid Memorials.
The officers section is filled with
monuments-some simple and others
elaborate. and one might wander for
days among the vine covered tom BIS
and trace out history. for perhaps no.
where else in the world are the tombs
Of SO many great men clustered to-
gether.
The sarcophagus of General Meigs
always attracts attention. The beau
tiful monument in memory Of Captain
Nathan Sargent, u. S. N, which repre-
sents the Angel of Peace with the olive
branch in her hand as the igurehead
OF a boat, is one of the most artistic
works OF art in the cemetery. The

Chinese coffin shaped tomb of CAPITA in
John Williams. U. s. NJ. c., who died
in Florida in 1912, is the unique tomb
of the cemetery. The tomb to the
unknown dead whose bones were
gathered from the feld at Bull Run,
the Temple Of Fame, the Sheridan
Tomb, the Porter Mound. and many
others are too we'll known to need
description here.
The Crook monument erected in
memory Of General George C. Crook,
the noted Indian fighter, tells the story
In bronze OF the surrender Of the
Apa che Indians under Chief Geronimo
to General Crook in 1888. The figures
are excellent portraits of the men who
took part in the surrender (the face
Of General Chaffee and Geronimo be-
ing exceptionally fne) and is regarded
as one of the best monuments in the
cemetery.
While every tomb in the officers
section Is interesting the most impress
sive part OF the cemetery Is what is
known as the field of dead in the
private's section. There long rows Of
white stones stretch out in endless
lines. for there a silent army Of six
teen thousand soldiers who wore the
blue are bvouaced for their long
sleep. The stones which mark the
graves are of the simple pattern
adopted by the Government in 1872
for all National Cemeteries. They are
set up in rows a few feet apart. On
each Is the name of the soldier. his
State and the number by which he Is
enrolled in the great Roll Of Honor
kept by the War Department. Five
thousand lie In unknown graves
marked by the white stone with the
| Inscription Unknown" These are as
tenderly cared for as the grave Of the
greatest general.
Confederate Section.

assented. General Megs then selected
a spot near the mansion. and at sun
set that evening twelve collins were
lowered into graves. The first inter

Twenty-third North Carolina Regi-

A Beautiful Spot.
more beautiful spot than Airing
ton could scarcely be imagined The
old mansion built in 1902 is bri,k
covered with stucco. and with the two
wings presents frontage of one hun
dred and forty feet toward the ma
tonal capital. A grand portico sixty
feet in front and twenty-five feet in
depth, with eight massive Doric COL
umns, constitutes the main entrance
This was modelled after the Temple
Of Theseus at Athens.
The mansion stands on the brow Of
a hill whose slopes stretch for half a
mile or more to the shores Of the Po-
tomac several hundred feet below
