He at one time had been bank exam

Pershing Would Honor Unknown Dead"

dead among those who fought in the
World war, but to all who gave, or
risked their lives. There has been no
national expression since the war
ended to give the people an oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation.
ST would recommend that the place
of interment for this unknown soldier
should be in the amphitheater at Ar.
lington cemetery at the national cap
ital.
"The ceremony attending should be
made as impressive as possible. This
should extend to the disinterment of
the unknown body from its grave in
France. A battleship should be used
to transport the body to this country.
''The people also should be given an
opportunity to participate and day
or an hour should be set apart by con-
gress for this purpose. Too much
cannot be done to honor those who lie
in the soil of France. The use of the
word Unknown would cover all
branches of the service, all who fell

day as the fitting time for the inter-
ment in this country"
