MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 11.-From
Washington the other day there came
a request TO the mayor for informa-
ton as to what steps were being
taken to meet the unemployment sit
uation. The mayor called the prin-
cipal employers into consultation.
The general opinion was that unem-
ployment was SO small there was no
occasion for an organization to han
die It but a committee was formed
TO act IN case Of necessity.
Memphis claims distinction as the
leading hardwood market of the
world and the largest interior cotton
market of America. 1t has thirty
two lumber mills in the city and
forty-seven outside operated by
Memphis concerns. Last year its
total of hardwood and forest products
had a value of SS7101, 900.
Possibly the Improvement in the lum-
Der market explains the lack Of serious
labor situation in Memphis From
very DEPRESSED state lumber has come
into sharp demand. There is what not

months ago he was not able to sell
enough lumber to make a wheel barrow,
yet last month he did the biggest busi-

running the market. Yellow pine has
advanced far more than hardwood. Our

WASHINGTON. Nov. II. Three
visions: Paris, London, Washington, re-
ceivine. burying with highest honors the
unknown son of their countries back
from the battlefield. Identical emotions,
identical sincerity of feeling identical
sorrow and pride OF the thousands OF
mothers who have the right. nay the
duty. Of considering him their own
glorious song.
And vet what difference between the
three ceremoniesl
FRANCE MORALLY
STILL AT WAR.
In Paris, 1t was a nation morally still
at war, which gave supreme military
Eonors to her hero.
Under the arch inscribed with the
names Of the victories Of Napoleon, light
ed by the light Of wind shaken torches,
the vigil over the soldier was mindful
of battle. The cenotaph afame with red
light In the darkness of the mighty
archway, stood o thing OF unrorgettabIe
tragic beauty. Then following there
came the burial ceremony, superb mill
tary parade and the people of France
send a glowing, grateful, silent thought
to the little Unknown Poilu who was the
symbol Of Frances revenge over her foe.
ENGLAND's SCENE
OF MYSTICISM.
The scene changes: The palatial build
ings of Whitehall, the cenotaph of Sc
we're simplicity, like a crusaders tomb !;
the Gothic arches Of Westminster Abbey,
Bishops and the Kings, the Princes, the
generals, the people of Great Britain,
walking bareheaded beside the bier;
silence broken by the loud crying OF q
woman in Mysteries, mountains OF MOWERS
all round the cenotaph.
The scene in the cathedral was one
of overwhelming mysticism.
The hero Of Great Britain became i'm
mediately as sacred as any Of the saints
portrayed on the ancient stained glass
windows. England gave her Unknown
the most wonderfully impressive relig'
ious funeral any mortal has yet re-
ceived. One could almost forget that
the Unknown, had been a soldier. He
had been the champion of an ideal and
now he was a saint.
AMERICAN TRIBUTE TO
IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY.

by exquisite voices of great artists and
by the mass Of the people. This is the

burial service to her Unknown. Crowds

HOPES SACRIFICES
NOT NEEDED AGAIN.

I
To the defenders who survive. to moth
ers who sorrow, to widows and children
who mourn, the President voiced the
prayer that no such sacrifices shall be
asked"
As though looking into the faces Of
the courageous dead, the Presidents eyes
swept across the slopes where multi
tudes Of tiny headstones rose in num-
berless rows, and echoed "the prayers Of
sill people that this Armistice day shall
mark the beginning OF new and last
ing era Of peace on earth, gUQd win
among men"
II speak not as a pacifst, fearing war"
the President said, 'but as one who loves
Justice and hates war. l speak as one
who believes the highest function Of
government is to give its citizens the Sc
curity Of peace, the opportunity TO
achieve and the pursuit Of happiness.
The loftiest tribute we can bestow
todsy--the reroicslly earned tribute
fashioned in deliberate conviction out
Of unclouded thought, neither shadOwed
by remorEe nor made vain by fancies, is
the commitment Of this Republic to an
advancement never made before. II

EUL0GIZES HERO
WHO DIED.
"He.died unquestioning. uncomplaining.
with 9th In his heart and hope on his
lips, that his country should triumph and
its civilization survive" the President
said in simple eulogy of the soldier dead.
HE believed his to be service destined
to change the tide of human affairs. His
patriotism was none less II he craved
more than triumDh Of country; rather 1t
was greater II he hoped for victory for
all human kind"
''He cherished our national rights and
ahhorred the threat Of armed domina-
tions;.and In the maelstrom Of destruc-
tion and suffering he fred his shot for
liberation Of the captive conscience Of the
world"
"I can sense the prayers Of our people :"
the President said in closing, "of all
peoples, that this Armistice Day shall
mark the beginning of a new era OF
peace on earth. Let US join in this
