By Associated Press

London, November 1-In historic | Whitehall tonight Great Britain's newly
 unveiled monument to her glorious ddhd' stood half buried beneath hun
 dreds of wreaths of flowers, tokens ot
 the nations sorrowing appreciation to
 their sacrifice. Three hundred yards away, at Westminster Abbey, amid the tombs of the realms great men, reposed the body of the empires newst immortal an unidentified comrade of those whose deeds the cenotaph memorializes. | Every part of the empire, all classes of it's citizens, from the King to the be- reaved relatives of the humblest private, participated in the impressive unveiling | ceremonies and the subsequent burial rites in the abbey During the cere- monies Whitehall and the streets adja- cent to the abbey were damned with people, most of whose faces mutely told the tale of lost loved ones. The two minutes silence which fell over this old concoure as Big Ben thundered the hour of Il seemed to vibrate with the repressed emotions. It was a silence. broken only by the hysterical shriek of a woman who collapsed from the intensity of it's spell. At the tenth stroke of the great gong the king pulled the cord un- yelling the imposing monument and, with the others, stood uncovered and with bowed head. Then, after his wreath and those of the Prince of Wales and oi the colonial representatives had been reverently deposited at the base of the cenotaph, the field marshal pallbearers with their hallowed burden moved off to the abbey, the king following the flag trapped coffin.
 At the conclusion of the services in the abbey the sound of muffled drums rnmbled through the ancient edifice bugles sounded and the king and mem bers of the royal party filed out slowly. Throughout the afternoon great lines ex- tended from the cenotaph through the
 length of Whitehall, across Trafalgar Square waiting to swell the accumula- tion of flowers about the monument.
 Never before has London witnessed such vast and patient crowds. At late hour tonight they were still silently fil- ing by the cenotaph, many depoSting Wreaths and through the abbey, past the grave of the unidentified warrior. The abbey was to be kept open until midnight, if necessary, for all desiring 10 enter. Darkness added greatly to the sombre impressiveness of the scene, and many touching incidents were to be obr served within the abbey, weeping wonl- en, overcome with emotion, having to be helped along by friendly policemen.
 Viewed from the center of Whitehall, it was a wonderful moving scene to watch a slow never-ending stream, with heads barred as they approached the cenotaph-hours of waiting patiently en- dured by mourners from every class of society

Czar's Desire for a War

Count Witte the former Russian premier was under no illusions as 10 the Czar's shortcomings. as Is plainly shown in the late premier's mem ,irs now running in the Worlds Work. The Czar's part in bringing on the Russo Japanese war is told by the late pre- mier as follows:
 The emperor's part in shaping our foreign policy. especially with ~esard to the Russo Japanse war, have cealt with elsewhere. Suffice it to say here that, when all is said. he alone is to be blamed for that most unhappy war. if indeed 1t is possible to condemn man who is responsible for his deeds to none but God.
 At heart, his majesty was for an aggressive policy. but as usual his mind was house divided against it. self. He kept on changing his policy from day to day. He tried to deceive both the Viceroy of the far east and the commander-in-chier of the army, but, of course. most of the time ne de- ceived nobody but himself.
 He became involved in the far aast- ern adventure because of his youth, his natural animosity against Japan, where an attempt had been made on his life Che never speaks of that cc- currence), and. finally, because of a hidden craving for a victorious war. am even inclined to believe that had there been no clash with Japan, var would have flared up on the Indian frontier. or most probably in Turkey. with the Phosphorus as the apple of ais- cora. From there 1t would have spr ,ad to other regions. After his majes.y's coronation and his trip to France, Nelidov, then our ambassador at@Con- stantinople. all but dragged us into a war with Turkey. I was alone to tp- pose it at session over which the em> peror presided in person. The ems peror's decision in the matter an counter to my opinion. but when the opposition was later joined by others, for instance, Grand Duke Vladimir and K. P. Pobiedonostzev. his majesty changed his decision in accordance with my opinion.
