the great scroll of those who, like him, died for the flag.
 AS the hour passed, the vast reach IS of the chamber seemed all too Bmall to house the growing mass of flowers. As each cluster was set in place, roses that blossomed in France or England, that bloomed in Canada or South Africa; poppies that thrust hp their slender stems through blood drenched Flanders fields; and flow CTS of every color and hue that blos- som under American skies the air grew heavy with fragrance. S6s- dier guards stepped out to move each tribute after 1t had been set, and the long, rounded sweep of granite wall was banked with wreaths and greens over it's whole length and every van tage point over the stone floor held It's weight of beauty, it's share of lonor for the brave dead.
 Night had fallen before the sol diers and their comrade marines who Jointly shared the honor of guarding the resting place of the unknown dead moved to check the stream of humanity. Another moment in his great hour of eternity had ended for the unknown who is known to all the nations by his death.
 The lights in the vaulted chamber dwindled and died to a dim glow; the great bronz doors swung shut, and alone again with the tireless comrades who kept the last vigil with him, Americas unknown from France was left to await dawn and the coming of the cortege in which the president and all the highest fig ures in American national life will walk humbly to carry him to the grave.
 Crowds which sought tonight to enter the capitol and pay their trib- ute extended for more than 10 blocks and it was evident that not all would be able to reach the bier
 Floral tributes were laid on the casket by many organizations, 1n- cluding the American Legion, the American war mothers, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Order of Indian Wars, Military Order of the World War, United States Infantry association, Daughters of Veterans, Amer1can Women's Legion, S0th division, Sons of Temperance, and National Con- federate organizations.
 After getting word from the out eide that fully 20,000 people were waiting to enter the rotunda, the military authorities decided to keep the doors open until all in line at F o'clock, the hour set for closing had passed through.
 General Pershing stood again to- night before the coffin and there were tears in his eyes as he turned away.
 At 10.30 o'clock the crowd which extended for many blocks. was roped off by the police at a point where 1t was thought those within the lines could pass into the rotunda by mid night. Among those to place wreath at the catafalque was the Salvation Army.
 It lacked just IS minutes of mid night when the last of the line which had been moving steadily past the catafalque for almost l6 hours, had paid their silent respect to the dead and doors were closed.
 Capitol police estimated that from s0o00 to 96,000 people had filed through the rotunda since a. m

It is the sacred obligation of every citizen to do his part-day by day-that the nation may prosper, and that contentment and happiness may come to an."

German Factory Blows Up: 1,5OO ncad. @,1G0 Iliurc" is
 Obliterated.

Mayence, Germany, Sept 21.-A great explosion today at the chemical products plant of the Bidische Auilin- fabrik Company at Oppau, on the Rhine, wrecked the town and spread death and destruction on every hand. The number Of killed is variously estimated at from 1000 to 1,500, and the injured close to 2,000. One re- port says that 5000 men were on the spot at the moment of the explosion, and it is believed about half of them were killed
 The town of Oppau is a scene of desolation, more than third of the houses having been destroyed, while the roofs of the others were swept off as if by a whirlwind. Here also many were killed or injured.
 The explosion is attributed by some to excess pressure in two adjoining gasometers, the whole Of this part of the works being literally pulverized Where the gasometer stood is now funnel shaped hole 130 yards wide and 45 yards deep, while twisted girders and debris of every descrip- tion lie scatteed about. For a dis tance of several hundred yards not a wall is left standing.
 Directors of the company say that the explosion occurred in a store house containing 4,O00 tons of nitrous sulphate, which had previously been examined and was believed to be free from danger of explosion.
 WOrkmen's Homes Wrecked.
 All the workmen's dwellings in the vicinity were razed. At Mannheim, on the opposite side of the river, 35 persons were seriously injured and 200 or more slightly injured. Lud- wigshafen reports say that three workmens trains were buried under the wreckage and many children on their way to school in that town were injured
 Heart-rending scenes were witnessed on all sides. At the little cemetery on the outskirts of Oppau, there are more than 200 bodies laid out on the grass Tcmbstones were lifted and hurled in various directions by the l force of the explosion. There was not a door or window left intact for radius of three miles.
 French medical units are aiding in the rescue work. Assistance also has been rushed from all the neighboring towns, and public and private motor cars and vehicles acre requisitioned. The roads leading to Oppau were soon crowded with people making their way to the scene of the disaster.

FEDERAL PROBE OF KU-
 KLUX KHAN IS DEBATED
Attorney General Discusses Matter Without Reaching Decision; Chief
 Sleuth Summoned.

Washington, Sept 20.-The Depart ments of Justice is considering whether federal action shall be taken in connection with the activities or the Kuklux Klan, Attorney General Daugherty said today.
 The attorney general discussed the matter today with District Attorney Hayward of New York and several or the assistant attorneys general, but said that no conclusion as to whether the federal government shall take part in the question had been reached.
 Any federal action against the klan, Mr. Daugherty said, probably will be under some statute covering conspiracy, but the legal problem lh- yolved is somewhat complex. On It's face. he explained, the literature or the Kuklux Klan is not in violation of the law.
 What is to be determined, he sad, is what goes on behind the scenes
 
 the trick"
 The government, MT. Daugherty said. is not to be run or intlmldated by any man or organization behlnd q mask. The activities of the ku- klux Klan, he added, will be given the most careful consideration before any federal policy was decided upoh'
 MT. Daugherty said he would con- fer tomorrow with Director Burns of the Bureau of Investigation, who has been directed to look into the question, and if the facts warrant will seek grand jury invest1ga- tion of the Kuklux Klan ill some dls- trict and urge indictment against any member where justified.
