The UnknOIUn
Soldier Hero
YYYHEN France, Great Britain,
" Italy and the United States


each bestowed the highest
honors upon an Unknown Soldier,
the deepest significance of the cere-
mony was not publicly expressed.
One Of these Unknowns lies beneath
the Arc de Triomphe in Paris,
which is a place of even more dis
tinction than the Pantheon, for
where he lies he has no fellow, and
so ranks above kings and field mar
shals.
Another lies in Westminster Alb
hey, Great Britain's noblest shrine.
The third lies in our National
Cemetery at Arlington.
The fourth has his tomb in a
great church in Rome.
This gesture of the nations re-
vealed the changed spirit of our
times more than any other contem-
porary event.
For these four Unknown Soldiers,
were the symbol Of the greatest dis
covery of the twentieth century.
The greatest discovery Of the TWEEN
tieth century and Of the nineteenth
is the Common People.
Other epochs have been marked
by great men. We speak Of the
time of Rome's grandeur as the
Days Of Caesar; Of the most prosper
Gus period Of Greece as the Days
of Pericles. And we refer to other
epochs in other lands as the time of
Charlemagne, or Of Napoleon, or of
Frederick the Great, or of Crom-
well.
These days Of ours can be charac-
terized by no great name. No one
figure dominates the landscape.
For the striking feature of this
day is the rise of that gray mass
known as The People.
For many a generation the world
thought Of the people as SO many
cattle, to be driven or guided, now
to be courted and again to be
slaughtered.
The snobbery of the elect is still
ap extensive cult.
We are slowly learning better.
We are learning that after all the
real wisdom of this world abides not
in the prophets and philosophers.
but among the myriad humble; that
the real power that sets up thrones
and tears them down is not some
Warwick or Bismarck, but that in
coherent mass of the Commons; even
that the real abiding and indestruct
ible goodness Of the race does not
come from the few who are illumi-
mated and is no property Of the
elect, but rests forever among the
common people.
One time, when the greatest of
Teachers was in a house, some one
came and told Him that His mother
and brethren wished to see Him. He
went to the door and, stretching His
hand over the crowds gathered be-
fore it, exclaimed: "Behold Ny
mother and My brethren'
That is what we mean, although
we hardly yet understand the full
ness of its meaning when we give
the highest honors in our power
not to Foch, nor Haig, nor Pershing,
nor Wilson, nor Clemenceau, nor
Lloyd George, but to an unknown
man. "We do not know the emf
nence of his birth, we only know
the glory of his DEATH" and that
the earth belongs to his heirs.

The March
of EUents

= is of more than ordinary sig
nificance.
Villereal g policy was to divide the
large landed estates among small
farmers. Many Of the large land
owners agreed that subdivision of
the great estates was desirable and
advantageous to the nation. But
they claimed that they should be
compensated for their lands, while
Villereal advocated seizure by the
government without compensation.
The resignation of Villereal was
promptly followed by recommended
ton from President Obregon that a
commission be appointed to value
the large estates and fix the compen-
sation to the owners of those taken
for subdivision among the small
farmers.
There is little doubt that President
Obregon's action was just, and that
it will hasten recognition by the
United States and an American loan
for Mexico's pressing treasury
needs.
Speaking of Mexico, one wonders
why it is thought necessary to make
displays under big headlines of
a kidnapping case, in which the kid
napers demand ransom for their
prisoners while a precisely similar
case in New York or some other
State is merely given a dozen lines
or so.
Why the exploits of Mexican
bandits should prove that Mexico is
an unsafe and uncivilized country,
while the exploits of American
bandits are looked upon as mere in
cidents of crime in an otherwise safe
and civilized country is thing hard
to understand.
The Indian tour of the Prince of
Wales has been made smoother sled
ding by taking the young man into
the native states.
These provinces are still nominally
governed by native princes, though
actually by British residents. By
this simple device the ignorant in
habitants are kept from being dis
satisfied with British rule, as all
their grievances are laid at the doors
of their hereditary nominal rulers.
The Prince is at present the
guest of a noble native ruler who is
allowed eight hundred concubines
and all the opium he can consume,
and whose only duty is to issue
whatever orders the British resident
tells him to issue.
Naturally the progress of the heir
to the empire is not being inter-
rupted by boycotts and riots in these
beautifully ordered native states,
and the correspondents can send
home glowing variations of the
Princes receptions without crowd
ing Ananias off the stage.
Censorship has not lost its con-
troll over. some parts of the world.
It would be interesting and, no
doubt, surprising to learn just what
the conditions are in Turkey, Greece,
Persia, Afghanistan, Chita, Korea,
Northern India and several regions
in China.
Censorship still sees to it that the
best informed of us know very little
that is true and an immense amount
that is not true about millions of
human beings living on this small
earth.

munication and publication would
