Shipley in The Outlook. -
Although as the election grew i'm

As a rule the discussions were most
anicable, and usually finished up, aft
er the method of Lincoln, in joke or
a story. Their to!eration equals their,
good humor. They bear patiently
every variety of religious dogma !;
these are almost as numerous in the,
United States as are patent medicines
They quietly endure and ignore the,

enormous distances one has TO trayI

Mr.. Lucas has recently reminded us
thai Carlyle hequeathed certain books

esteem and regard for the American
particularly the more silent

only in the imagination of the Chelsea
philosopher. They are perhaps not
very numerous, still they exist.

Residents and Visitors on island os

Centuries Old.

Every day Is fish day on the little
Island Of Valamo. Finland, IL squares

ago monks OF the Greek Catholic
church embarked on Lake Ladoga to
find new home and landed on Vaia-
mo.
A fine old monastery they built and
framed n law that from that. day czl
no meat should ever be eaten on cAe
island. Recently several members OF
the American Red Cross stationed at
the Russian refugee camp at Viborg,
made a Journey to the island and were

by the 450 monks now living there.
From the day they arrive on the
island to the day they leave or die
no meat is eaten by them. Husky,

this lack of meat as food Is not ap-
parent in their build. For lunch the
Americans had fish In several forms,
fried, baked and In soup, but always
fish.
Hunting Is barred, trapping Is Ia

OF meat may never come. Smoking

their bombs of desolation; machine
guns concentrating their leaden
storms: there was the infantry, ad-
vancing, firing, and falling-like men
with souls sacrificing for the decision.
The flying missiles were revealed by
Illuminating tracers, so that we could
note their flight and appraise their
deadliness. The air was streaked with
tiny flames marking the flight Of
massed destruction; while the effec-
tiveness of the theoretical defense
was impressed by the stimulation Of
dead and wounded among those going
forward, undaunted and unheeding.
AS this panorama Of unutterable
modern conflict, there grew on me
the sense of the failure of civiliza-
ton which can leave it's problems to
such cruel arbitrament. Surely no
one in authority, with human at
tributes and a full appraisal of the
patriotic loyalty Of his countrymen,
could ask the manhood of kingdom,
empire, or republic to make such
sacrifice until all reason had failed,
until appeal to justice through I'M
derstanding had been denied, until
every effort of love and consideration
for fellow men had been exhausted,
until freedom itself and inviolate hon

WHERE UNKNOWN
HERO WILL SLEEP

Washington. Nov. 11.-High on a
wooded ridge beside the Potomac,
Americas nameless hero will sleep
bivouacked with the brave of many
wars.
Everywhere about his simple
tomb, over the swelling slopes or
in the shaded canyons of Arlington
National Cemetery, stand monu-
ments and headstones on which are
craven names that also are written
imperishably in the pages of glory
that make the nations history.
There. too. are stones, amid the long
rows, to mark other unknown dead
of other wars. and the bulk of the
monument above the single grave
where rest the unknown of the war
between the states. gathered from
many battle fields
But for the newcomer from
France among this fellowship of
valor, special place Of honor has
been made. He will sleep in a mar
row crypt. hewn out of the live
stone that forms the terrace of the

erywhere who died for the flag.
Above his casket a massive block

legend of a nations tribute to all

France. will be placed. On it also
will go the long list of honors the
nation and the great powers of the
world have lavished on the soldie y;
who gave their identity as well as
their lives on French battle-fields.
Above the great stone towers the
marble pillared facade of the amphi-
theater, browning the ridge and
looking down over a sweeping vista
of quiet hills and peaceful country
side to the wide waters of the river.
Beyond stands Washington city in
the haze of distance. Over it. dimly
visible. looms the great figure of

servers in the ranks like the sleeper
up there on the terrace. or again,
dimly seen through the trees goes
another long column of soldier head
stones, graying with time. But Off
GERS and men, generals. admirals,
privates or the last bluejacket to
join the ship before the battle, they
are all sleeping here in honored
graves. Gathered they are from
Mexico, from all the far plains
where emigrant trains fought their
way westward, from stored fields of
the Civil War. from Cuba and the
Philippines, from Haiti and from
France.
Just beyond the amphitheater
rises the slender mast of the old
Maine, brought from Havana to
mark the resting place of her dead
soldiers and sailors and marines. 1t
is their last muster and for them
all has been raised the great marble
pile wherein the unknown sleeper
from France keeps his vigil.
The pure white outline of the
structure. as yet unstained by time
and the shifting winds that sweep
unchecked through its stately colon
made or it's vast. roofless gathering
place, rises amid setting that ma
ture paints with new beauty as the
seasons come and go. 1t stands
atop the ridge, footed among the
evergreens and the native Virginia
off in oh ~ or m q
shades in summer; deck it out with
the myriad tints of autumn as the
year wanes and wrap it about with
the delicate tracery of snow laden,
leaf1ess branches in winter.
To form the colonnade, a double
row of the great marble pillars
march around the circle wherein
the marble benches are set. Facing
the benches and with it's back to
the terrace where stands the tomb.
is the sculptured hollow of the apse
where the solemn rites for burial
take place. The structure has the
lines of an ancient Greek temple, a
fitting resting place for the honored.
unknown soldier who is it's only &C.
Cupdnt.
Over the ridge beyond the amphi-
theater are seen the grass grown
ramparts of old Fort Meyer with the
dead clustering about them. Farther
along, the pillared portico of the
old Lee mansion thrusts out through
the crowding woods to look down
over the vista of hill and river to
Washington. And Just over the road
stands the army post of Fort Meyer,
its garrison flag a-fluttering, glimpse
of color over the quiet scene. the
roar of it's sunrise and sunset guns
waking the echoes among the graves
of the dead; the faint, far call of
its bugles singing also for these
sleeping warriors, resting in their
last encampment.
