The Unknown Chosen,

At Chalons-sur- -Marne, in France, to.
day occurs the ceremony Of selecting
the body Of the unknown American
soldier that is to be brought to this
country for interment at Arlington on
Armistice day. Four caskets have
been disinterred. and on one of these
an American sergeant will lay bunch
of flowers to indicate his selection.
The body thus chosen will be at once
taken to Paris and thence to Havre.
where the ceremony Of comforting the
French Legion of Honor will occur
The casket will be placed on board the
U. s. s. Olympia. the historic flagship
of Admiral Dewey at Manila in 1898,
which will bring it to these shores.
Coinciding with the opening Of the
arms conference, the ceremony in
Washington on the 11th of November,
when the body of the unknown Ameri-
can soldier will be inferred at Arling-
ton, will be one of the most impressive
ever witnessed in this city. Prepara-
tions for it have been made on a be-
fitting scale. Fortunately there will be
present in this city at the time the
highest dignitaries Of the allied coun-
tries, and representatives Of their mill
tary forces. They will join in this re.
burial Of an American soldier who can
never be identified.
Under the Arch Of Triumph in Paris
and under the pavement Of Westmin-
ster Abbey in London lie bodies Of un.
known French and British soldiers.
placed there with the most solemn
rites. These tombs represent to the
people Of France and England the un4
questioning devotion Of their manhood
to the cause of their countries. The
war knew no individualities and re-
spected none. Its victims were Of all
degrees and stations. They were peas
ants and artisans, men Of professions.
artists, writers, statesmen, Of all ages.
When the call was sounded the re-
sponse was universal. No man reck-
oned his responsibilities at home or in
society or in business as against the
need. the duty, to answer. And when
the toll was taken there were no dis
ordinations. These unknown heroes
now lying in Paris and London. and
soon to lie at Arlington, may be Of
any Of the classes that SO uniformly
went forth.
One Of the greatest tragedies Of the
war is the total obliteration Of identity.
The lists Of casualties contained many
names marked missing" Despite all
precautions the traces Of personality
have been. obliterated. These "un-
known" may have been of1cers or pri-
Yates in any one Of the various arms
of the service. No one knows how
they fell. They are types of the un-
flinching. unquestioning response that
made the great armies Of the allies
capable of resisting the onset Of the
Germans during four years and a
quarter, and finally winning victory
in the face of apparent defeat.

Lee explained, because the public

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDDR JOHNSON.

Tn6 NI8gMned At0m.
The old world seems like human folks
It has its sorrows and it's jokes.
It has its duties and its play
And sometimes falters on its way.
It heeds the fashions new and strange
And laughs at old ones as they change
It struggles often, but to fail,
And still believes right must prevail.
Though swinging in eternal space
And holding 'mongst the stars a place
In common with mans little scheme
It seems te laugh, or weep, or dream.

COTTON PRICES ARE
LOWER AT CLOSING
Increased Selling in Last Half
Hour of Market Sends All
Options Down.

Cotton futures eased yesterday 10 TO
20 points under pressure from the South
and local room longs in another
featureless and quiet market. The SEES
sions heaviest selling was not en-
countered until the last half hour. when
all options fell into new low ground
for the day. A part of the pressure
was plainly belated long liquidation
prior to the Government crop report
scheduled for to-day Two more
private condition estimates appeared
yesterday, one Of 6S.s per cent and the
other making the condition 65.1 per
cent. 1t was evident that many traders
feared the Government report might
prove less unfavorable than expected
Among the bearish factors was the
continued good weather over the cotton
belt The weather map was generally
clear the only precipitation of impor-
lance being fall of 10 inch at Dallas
Temperatures were seasonable, ranging
from so TO 80 degrees.
The market was steady at the outset,
points net lower to points higher
Liverpool cables were steady at first but
near its close the Liverpool market
eased off about to penny-points
Liverpool brokers were among the
buyers here. The heaviest early seller
IN the local market was the South.
Pressure from that source was suf-
ficient to send values about 8 to IS
points lower before the end of the first
hour. A recovery from the low oc-
CURED, but the market displayed heavi-
ness never the less.
Business around the middle OF the
day was mostly give and take on the
part OF local traders. The ring did a
little both ways. The weekly weather
report proved to be about as bearish
rs expected but had been discounted
by the early drop. The report stated
chat generally favorable weather had
prevailed over the entire cotton belt
during the week and that the crop had
made good progress. Toward the close
the market met Western and Wall
Street liquidation, which left the market
around the days low level, 10 to "a
points under Tuesdays final bids. Local
spot was 80 points lower at 1890 cents
