Gen. Pershing FaVors Bringing Back Body of Unidentified Soldier FOR BURIAL IN ARLINGTON
Thinks Next Memorial Day Would Be Fitting Time for Ceremony-Sec- retary Baker Has Already Disap- proved of This Plan.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The return from France of the body of an unknown" soldier for burial in Ar lington National cemetery as a fit ting national tribute" to the men who tell in the World war was advocated today by Gen. Pershing before the house military committee which is considering a bill for that purpose.
 Similar proposals have been disap- proved by Secretary Baker. who ruled that the war department could not break its solemn promise to the rela- tives of the soldiers that the bodies either would be returned to them or left in France.
 Simply An "UnknoWn Man."
 ''I think this proposal should be carried out" said Gen. Pershing. Tt should be done with a ceremony made as impressive as possible and every honor should be paid this 'un- known man. And it should be sim- ply an unknown man. That should be sufficient to cover all states of the Union and all branches of the mili- tary and naval service
 The general suggested that next Memorial Day should be designated as the time for the ceremony. He said he favored Arlington National cemetery rather than the rotunda of the capitol.

June 27.-Arkan- sas must amend its constitution with in three years after the adjournment of the next legislature to appropriate money to meet federal aid road funds, or else lose federal aid entirely, un- der the Dowell road bill which passed the House today.
