WASHINGTON Nov. 23.--(Special
Correspondence IL stood the other
day on Pennsylvania Avenue, that
great thoroughfare Of the Capital City,
fore me, the grandest funeral that has
ever taken place in the world since the
angels of God took the body of Moses,
and, with the stars of Heaven for
tapers tall," buried that great leader
in "a valley in the land Of Moab, over
against Beth-peor." As l stood there
recalled some Of the magnificent
funerals of hist ory--of Caesar. Of
Peter the Great, Of Louis the Magnifi-
cent, Darius Hystaspes and Cyrus, the
Pharoahs and the Great Khan, but all
faded into nothngness before the tre-
mendous significance OF this process
sion passing before me, with the high
est and greatest of all civilized lands
moving humbly reverently and sadly
along in the wake of the dead body of
the simple unknown soldier who had
given his life-all he had to give-in
order that we, his countrymcn. might
win the war that meant. if we do our
duty, the end of all wars for us and
those who como after us.
one could not escape the reflection
that no other hero, since the awaken
ing mind of man first began to ap-
preciate the higher actions Of the in
dividual had ever received honor
equal TO this. Here one beheld the
greatest nation of this greatest age
comforting the highest and most sa-
cred honors the human mind could
devise, while Joining with US the ma
tions of the world had sent their chos-
en- heroes. called from the highest
stations to cross the seas and lay their
ancient honors and decorations at the
feet Of this soldier selected TO typify
all of our heroic dead.

Ills Possible Identity

IN thinking OF tnoSe things II was
impossible to keep the mind from
turning to the possible identity of this
one. Once he had an individuality, a
name, a local habitation, but today
they are gone. He is our dead, our
young man that we lost in the great
and cruel war; he is John, our neigh
bor's son; he is George, who lived in
a nearby town; he is Henry, who play
ed ball on the town lot-he is all Of
these--he is our own personal sacrifice
in the cause of liberty and civilization.
And we love to think Of him as he
went cheerfully and earnestly to do
battle for the loved ones at home; we
can see him doing his simple duties
in the camps and battlefields of the
army-and then the heroic end, with
his face to the implacable foe, dying
as he had lived. brave, clean, courag
eous and with simple faith in his God
And he has fitting sepulchre, In q
great white tomb crowning a beautiful
hill, looking down on the placid and
historic Potomac flowing broad and
free to the ocean; back OF him the
great amphitheatre where, in the
sprlngtime of each year. the people
gather to do honor to the dead who
have died in the service Of their coun-
try; below AMI across the river the
Capitol City, lying white and green
in the afternoon sunshine.

CREDIT OFFER MADE
MEXICAN MINISTRY
American Locomotive Com
pany Prepared to Finance
Railway Needs.

First definite evidences Of possible
resumption of business with Mexico on a
broad scale have come to light in con-
nection with an offer made by the
American Locomotive Company to the
Mexican Government TO assist it in
financing its railroad needs. The offer.
made following the sending out of
"feelers" by the Mexican Government.
was made nearly a month ago, but the
shift in the ministry of railroads in
Mexico has made it impossible. IL was
learned, for an immediate reply.
The plan provides for the extension to
the Mexican Government Of credit for
one-haf of its purchases of the products
which that company manufactures, a
credit it is estimated. of from $500. 600
TO $1,000 900. for IL is believed that
Mexico's immediate needs for new loco
motives are between $4,000. 900 and
81. 900, 900. The Mexican Government
requires besides these locomotives more
than $4,000, 600 worth of other railroad
equipment. but so far as can be learned
no plan has yet been worked out for the
financing of those needs.
Officials of the American Locomotive
Company decline to give details, al
though they admit the offer has not yet
been replied to.

DURYEA ESTATE AWARD
TO MISS LEWIS FOUGHT
Lawyers Try to Set Aside Yer
dict as Excessiue.

Representatives of the estate Of the
late Gen. Hiram Duryea are making
plans to fight the verdict of $4,000 which
was given by jury in the Queens Coun-
ty Supreme Court against the estate in
favor of Miss Anna Lewis of Ogdens-
burg, y. y, on a claim for the breach
OF a contract for services. Miss Lewis
claimed that she had entered into a con-
tract in 1912 with Gen. Duryea that she
was to receive $40 a month and her
maintenance for life provided she en-
tered the Generals service and cared
for him and his son, Chester Duryea.
The contract was ended in 1914, when
Chester Duryea shot and killed his
father Miss Lewis sued for what she
alleged was the value OF the contract
and by decision of the jury her life ex-
pectancy was placed at twenty-five
years and an amount in accordance
granted. She was awarded the full
amount she asked for and the verdict
was In that respect exceptional.
Attorneys representing the estate
asked Justice Callaghan yesterday for
a chance to reargue the motion TO set
the verdict aside on the grounds that it
was excessive. Last evening Justice
Callaghan handed down decision TO the
effect that he would grant a reargument
of that motion.

all third class passengers at the port OF

typhus. At present the laws prevent
detention for more than few days and
there are no facilities for caring for
these persons.
There have been many cases Of emil
grants leaving ports absolutely clean
and arriving in New York infested with
lice. which may be due to overcrowding
through the desire to get to the United
States as quickly as possible.
INSPECTION in Europe on the whole
is good. and there is no danger Of a

physical character of the immigrants is

Speoiol Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
MONTREAL, Feb. i4.--Canadans prob
ably are benefitng from the expert
ence of others. There is little or no
pessimism in Canada to-day. Two years
ago money was dear although plentiful
and people were making it without re-
moving their white cuffs or rolling back
man realizes that he must work for a
living and is doing just that Conditions
in Canada are only fairly good. They
may be better than they are in other
places, but there is still plenty Of room
for Improvement. That Improvement OF
necessity must come from the inside and
every effort is being bent-a.nd the Gov
ernment is doing what it can to help
matters-to bring it about. 1t is prob
ably for that reason that Canada has
suffered so little from the readjust-
ment wave
Montreal chartered bank clearfngs
may usually be taken as an excellent
barometrical indication OF the business
trend of Eastern Canada During the
week ended on February 10 bank clear
ings amounted TO sl09,027,316. in con-
trast to s137.919.7o2 in the correspond
ing 1920 week. That decrease OF $780,
ss2.Ss6. or 1875 per cent. was due in
large measure to the decline in retail
prices which has recently taken place.
Slackening of general business is also a
contributory factor. The year 1919 was
a record year for bank clearings up to
that time. and il is interesting to note
that the Montreal clearings showed last
week gain compared with those of the
corresponding 1919 week, when the
clearings were $50. ,209.

Public UtiIities In Demand.

There is not the slightest doubt in the
minds of Canadian investors that a new
tsun is rising In the public utilities hori-
Kon and that il will not be long before
public utility compares will be enjoying
prosperity OF a substantial nature. In
that connection, such issues as Montreal
Power Consolidated. Shawinigan Water
and Power. Bell Telephone Company OF
Canada and Detroit United Railway are
In demand as well as Winnipeg Electric.
Toronto Railway, Quebec Railway, Lau-
rentide Power and one or two others.
Tie annual financial report of the
Winnipeg Electric Railway appeared this
week and showed net earnings of
s595.436. or the equivalent of per cent.
earned on its common stock outstanding.
Prior to the war its stock sold as high
as $3.50 a share and bore an annual
dividend of IL per cent. Recently an
offering in the East OF sS,o0o,o 900 of the
companys preferred stock was COM
pleted and since then the demand has
turned to the company's common stock
Another interesting feature Of last
week was the appearance Of the annual
statement OF the Public Service Corpo-
ration of Quebec the subsidiary of the
Shawinigan Water and Power Company,
Ltd. II shows net income for 1920, after
charging up operating and general ex-
pense. taxes. insurance. other charges
and bond interest of S91.05T, against
s7T.s62 in 1919. Its 1920 earnings were
equal to 5.72 per cent on its capital
stock of sl,6o0.0o0. against 4.S7 per
cent in 1919.
