MOT UNKNOWN:
HE'S MY Boy
SAYS MOTHER
SO Proud That Coun-
try Has Part in His
Funeral.

Washington, Nov. 10.-CUnited
Press. )-Shivering a bit beneath a
thin shawl, she had waited long be-
fore the capitol. She was old and
gray and bent. Her clothes showed
she had seen better days But her
face wore a sort of sad radiance.
For she was an unknown mother,
come in from a small town quite
distant that she might meet her boz,
back after weary months from
France
1t was her boy who lay there in
the rotunda-the unknown soldier
back from France, honored and
sung by the nation, paid a homage
greater than the dreams of kings.
She typified a score of mothers
who were here today to honor the
unknown soldier, each believing 1t
was her boy"
A WiSp of Flowers.
She fumbled a little package as
she waited-just a wisp of a bou-
quet of late fall flowers which she
wished to mingle with the stately
wreaths and pretentious bouquets
from richer folk. 1t had cost her
much to make the trip here; and
we'll, she didn't have her boy to
help at home, and his daddy had
died since the war. So she could
spend only few pennies for that
wisp of flowers
But she was going to lay before
the bier something more-a moth
er's heart and a mothers pride in
her boy.
They say he's an unknown SOL
der" she told another woman in
the waiting line He's not un-
known; I'm sure he's my boy. And,
I'm so proud. just think, the whole
country has part in his funeral .
Sheds No Tears.
She shed no tears. They had
flowed long since. as she realized
that a German had slain her boy out
there in no mans land. and that
he was resting in a grave with i
marker unknown"
II had prayed and prayed for
him." she said. Il knew he couldn't t
come home. because they didn't
know who he was. But a mira Gle
has happened, and he's back"
And Passes On.
The unknown mother strained her
eyes for the signal that would ad-
nit her and the other visitors 20
the capitol. At last the line moves
forward. She could tarry beside
the casket but a moment. but she
asked the guards to be sure that her
wisp of flowers went to rest with
her boy.

suggested a conference on reduction
OF armaments and related questions.
Although 50 far there has been
nothing in the negotiations as to de-

been so encouraged by the attitude
Of other nations that they have al

questions as the date on which the
meeting will begin. One. suggestion
prominently under consideration is
that November II, Armistice day, be
selected.
The exact schedules to be taken up
at the conference are understood not

that there wasino reason why the con-
