Promptly at noon a bugle sounded
Attention. All in the audience stood
and the entire nation paused for two
minutes in silent prayer for the ma
tion's dead
The chaplain prayed and the barsl
then played America"
Secretary of War Weeks spoke
briefly in preface to the address of
President Harding.
AS the nations chief executive be-
gan speaking, the sun broke through
the haze and sapphire blue sky ap-
peared.
The Presidents address was carried
over a telephone wire and was ampli-
fed so that it was heard by great
audiences in New York and San Fran
cisco.
1--WE are met to pay an impersonal
tribute" the President began. "The
name of him whose body lies before
US took flight with his imperishable
soul We know not whence he came,
but only that his death marks him
with the everlasting glory of an Am
erican dying for his country.
"No Such Sacrifice Again"
"'Greater love than this hath no
man, that he lay down his life for his
friend is in our minds on such an
occasion as this, when our thoughts
alternate between our defenders, liv-
ing and dead.
Our part is to compensate for one
of The losses of the heroic dead by
making better republic for the liv.
ing. With all my heart l wish that
we might say to the defenders who
survive, to the mothers who sorrow,
to the widows and children who
mourn, that no such sacrifice shall
be asked again
Il speak not as a pacifist, fearing
war, but as one who loves justice and
hates war. | speak as one who be-
lieves that the highest function of
government is to give its citizens the
security of peace and an opportunity
to achieve and to pursue happiness.
"The most loving tribute we can
bestow is to commit this republic to
an advancement never made before
let us give of our influence, strength,
aspirations and convictions to put
mankind on a higher plane, with wars
and tragedies barred from the stage
of righteous civilization.
The Dawn of New Era
"As we return this poor clay to its
mother soil, garlanded by love and
covered with decorations that only
nations can bestow, | can sense the
prayer of our people and of all peoples
that this Armistice Day shall mark the
beginning of new era of peace on
earth, good will among men. Let me
join that prayer:
"Our Father which are in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name, Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done on
earth as it is in Heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread. And for
give us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors. And lead us not into temp
tation, but deliver us from evil. For
Thine is the kingdom, and the power
and the glory, forever. Amen
The Metropolitan Grand opera
quartet sang "The Supreme Sacrifice
followed by another prayer.
