TRIBUTE PAID POILU
BY UNITED STATES
General Pershing Decorates
Tomb of Unknown Soldier
With Honor Medal

Paris.-The United States paid its
highest tribute to the dead soldiers OF
France when Gen. John j. Pershing
in the presence of an immense throng
including President Millerand and
other high officials of the republic
laid the congressional medal of honor
upon the tomb of the unknown poilu
under the Arch of Triumph. The Ger
emony was the most impressive ex-
preston of Franco-American unity
since the United States declared war
on Germany in April, 1917.
A military review, second in size
only to the historic victory parade,
followed the ceremony. A picked bat
talon of American troops, representa-
tive of all units comrising the Amer
lean forces on the Rhine. led the pa
rade, which was reviewed by Presi-
dent Millerand. General Pershing.
Ambassador Herrick and all the mar
shals of France
The presence of large body of
American troops in Paris for the first
time since 1919 caused an outburst
of enthusiasm from the thousands of
Parisians who lined the Avenue des
Champs ElySees and the Place
DEtoile, where the arch is located.
Before placing the decoration on
the unknown soldiers tomb General
Pershing stood before 1t at salute for
several minutes. Then. in a voice
shaking with emotion he declared:
In the name of the President and
the people Of the United States, as a
token of our perpetual belief in the
righteousness of the cause for which
you died, and as a mark of respect
and admiration to you and to your
countrymen, place this congressional
medal of honor upon your tomb"
The American headquarters band
from Coblenz then played the Mar.
seillaise' and "The Star-Spangled
Banner"
General Pershing's speech made a
profound impression upon the assem-
blage and brought tears to many eyes
Referring to the unknown as SOL
der of France, dear friend and my
comrade." the general said in part:
Dear friend your battle is over
You sleep quietly amid the noisy
traffic of a great city. For you the
victory is won.
You gave your last drop of your
life's blood for liberty and in the glo
rious sacrifice of your youth was born
the hope OF those you left behind. In
your heart there is malice toward
none, but charity for all 1t is this
spirit and this alone which will es
tablish confidence among nations.
To your tomb. which is for France
the altar Of the country / bring the
love and affection Of the American
soldiers who fought beside you and
the valiant soldiers Of France"

Fearing q possible outbreak among

The escapes were made when a

PRESIDENT ASKS AID
FROM COMMUNITIES
Urges Organization to Relieve
Unemployed Sc Directed by
U. S. Central Agency

Washington, d. C.-Governors and
mayors throughout the country were
asked by President Harding In a pub
lie statement, to organize in each
community machinery for the correc.
ton of economic conditions along
lines worked out by the unemploy-
ment conference here.
The conference, the President de-
clared, had demonstrated that condi-
tions could not be met properly with
out such local cooperation. He an
nounced that central agency would
be maintained here under auspices of
the conference to give national CO.
ordination to the rehabilitation effort
The Presidents statement follows:
The conference which | recently
summoned to Washington to advise as
to the unemployment situation has
demonstrated that an unusual volume
of unemployment exists and that
pending the recuperation of trade the
situation can not be met in regard to
our obligations and necessities, with
out a much more than unusual organ
ization throughout those states and
municipalities where unemployment
has reached considerable proportions.
"The conference has recommended
plan of organization which has had
the support CT commercial manufac-
turing. professional and labor repre-
sentatives of the country. 1t is high
ly necessary that more accurate
knowledge should be had. through
such organization Of the volume and
necessities Of the unemployed 1t is
essential that the cooperation Of all
sections of each community should be
brought into action behind such or
ganization TO provide work and assist
ance that we may pass through the
coming winter without great suffering
and distress. 1t is of national import.
ance that every community should at
once undertake such organization in
order that the nation may be protect
ed as a whole. Moreover. the thor
ough commitment TO such task is
sure 10 start a thousand activities
which will add to our common vel
fare
II, therefore, appeal to the COVER
nors and mayors OF the nation that
they should take the steps recon-
| mended by the conference.
I'm order that there may be unity
of action by all the forces which may
be brought to bear. whether govern
mental or private. the unemployment
conference is establishing an agency
in Washington through which appro
pirate cooperation can be promoted
and through which reports on prog
ress and suggestions may be given
I general circulation and cooperation
I trust this agency will be supported
in this endeavor"

reduction in output of manufactured
