MANY CITIES
WANT CHAPTER
OF JUNIOR ELkS

Officers of the local chapter of Elks
have received letters from twenty-five
cities in the United States asking for
the installation of chapters of Junior
Elks.
Fred A. Morris of Mexico conceived
the idea of instituting an order Of
Junior Elks. The ritual was prepared
by Mr.. Morris, L. B. Hawthorne and
L. NJ. White and the first class was
initiated in Mexico shortly before the
State convention in Moberly, At the
convention the Junior Elks made
such an excellent showing that since
that time letters have kept coming
asking about the order and requesting
that chapters be installed
The second chapter of Junior Elks
will probably be installed in San Jose,
Cal, through the efforts of Charles E
Hablutzels who formerly lived in Mex
leo. Other chapters will be installed
at Dallas Tex; Warrensburg, Mo-;
Joplin and Minneapolis, MINI. Num-
erous other chapters will be installed
throughout the county this winter.

WILSON PAID
TRIBUTE BY A
VAST THR0AG

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.--Wood-
row Wilson, at whose command 2tlnn-
lion sons of America sprang forth to
battle, Thursday gave honor to one of
those warriors who returned like a
crusader of old, not with his shield,
tut upon it. - sd
Woodrow Wilson, whose name three
years ago was on the lips of the civ
ilized world, Thursday came. forward
from his seclusion to pay humble trib-
ute to fallen hero whose name the
world shall never know.
Ending his voluntary retirement to
his S street home, Mr.. Wilson, in en-
deavoring to do honor to the iniden-
tilted American soldier, found himself
the recipient of an impressive tri-
butte.
Among a distinguished company
which included the President of the
United States and his cabinet, General
Pershing and the dignitaries Of nearly
a dozen nations, Mr.. Wilson alone was
applauded. The throngs which lined
the curb throughout the length of the
historic street were quick to recog-
nize the ex-President and cheers Of
"It's Mr.. Wilson," or "Hurrah fol
Wilson," followed in his wake. AT
times, when the carriage stopped be-
cause of congestion, Mr.. Wilson was
compelled to bow and lift his hat re-
neatedlY.

WASHINGTON
HONORS UNKNOWN
j. S. SOLDIER
By G. ALEX HOPE

Former City Editor of the Ledger.
Special to the Ledger:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Tonight
there lies in Arlington beside the
heroes Of Gettsburg, Shiloh and San
Juan the body of an unknown lad who
died even more gloriously than one of
these. And for his supreme sacrifice
not only did official and unofficial
America pay him the greatest honors
ever accorded an American soldier,
but the worlds most renowned states
men pinned on his bier the highest
tributes of their lands.
+ While his body lay in state in the
rotunda of the capitol Thursday, no
les than sixty organizations, societies
and foreign diplomats banked wreaths
around the casket and eulogized the
spirit that had made him ready to give
his all. p
In fitting tribute to his sacrifice,
hundreds of thousands from>all parts
of the country lined Pennsylvania
Avenue this morning as his casket,
draped in tattered ensign for which
he had fought, was carried to it's last
resting place, followed by his official
mourners and the greatest statesmen
of the Allies.
In the procession rode President
Harding, General Pershing, Marshall
Foch, the idol of France; Admiral Sir
Eary Beatty, hero of ~Jutland; Ar
mando Diaz, the Savior of Italy and
Premier BRAND of France, whom
Washington has labeled the Keystone
of the coming Conference.
Another group, no less important,
included Sergeant Samuel Woodfill,
whom Pershing has designated the
greatest hero of the war;" Sergeant
York, and Major Whittlesly of the
Lost Battalion.
Lining the route of march were pick
ed battalion from once famous COM
bat divisions, the second, twenty-sey-
enth and forty-second, whose glisten-
ing bayonets greeted the procession as
the doughboys stood rigidly at atten-
ton. Overhead buzzed aeroplanes
from Boiling Field, who showered
down their tributes in the form OF
small wreaths that bedecked the street
ahead oft he cortege as it made its
way toward the Potomac.
After the brief minutes of silence
following the arrivel at Arlington
Amphitheater, President Harding gave
a stirring address, "fervently loing.
ing, he said, shat millions of graves
on the continent might cry out elo'
ouently to urge on those who strive
for peace"
1t was particularly fitting close te
a ceremony that has left in Washing
ton stirring tenseness, but renewed
hope in the ultimate outcome OF the
deliberations Of the worlds represen'
tative statesmen, who meet for the
Disarmament Conference tomorrow.

International Association Of Rotary

Nation-Wlde Survey.

Aroused by charges Of the Ameri-
can Legion that the government has
failed In its duty toward disabled vet
Grams Of the World war, the board Of

gram for the relief to the disabled

10 obtain Its enactment into law, &C.
cording to Chesley H. Perry Of Chi
cagO, secretary-general of the Rotary
clubs organizations.
"The 10000 American business and
professional men who form the 800
Rotary clubs of the United States,
have started out to gather the actual
facts In their respective communities
with regard to the manner in which
the United States government is
handling the cases of disabled ex-sOl-
diers," Mr.. Perry stated in letter to
r. W. Galbraith, Jr., commander Of
the Legion. z
"The Rotarians have been shocked
by the disclosures made by the Ameri-
. can Legion regarding the circum-
stances surrounding the rehabilitation
Of sUncle Sans disabled ex-service
men. Each Rotary club is appointing
special committee to investigate
conditions in its community and re-
port to the club. Every club will then
report to the headquarters office Of
Rotary In Chicago. The result will be
that from 800 communities in every
part of the United States will come
evidence Of business ard professional
men to prove to the American people
whether or not the American Legion
reports are based on hysteria or upon
actual facts so revGting and heart
rending as to cause the whole Ameri-
can people to rise in their might and
do justice to the men who sacrificed
themselves for their country"
The LegioC's national commander
asserted that his organization will
welcome the Rotary investigation.
II hope Its findings will be given
