BOLS KILLED AT
KRONSTADT SIEGE
Official Figures Finally Obtained
Placing Number Less Than
Estimated

Cronstadt, Russia, Nov. 11-(By the
Associated Press)-SiX thousand Boil
sheviki were killed in their nine-day
siege of Kronstadt after the seizure of
the fortress by mutineers last April,
the correspondent was informed to-
day by bolshevist sailors. Mutineers
who escaped had previously placed
the losses at a much higher figure.
Sixty thousand troops were engaged
on both sides.

Mr.. Secretary of War and Ladies'
and Gentlemen: We are met today to
pay the impersonal tribute 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 American dy-
ing for his country.
He might have come from any one
of millions of American homes. Some
mother gave him in her love and ten
derness, and with him her most cher
ished hopes. Hundreds of mothers are
wondering today, finding touch of
solace in the possibility that the ma
tion bows in grief over the body of
one she bore to live and die, if need
be, for the republic. If we give rein
to fancy, score of sympathetic
chords are touched, for in this body
there once glowed the soul of an
American, with the aspirations and
ambitions of a citizen who cherished
life and its opportunities. He may
have been native or an adopted son;
that matters little, because they glor-
flied the same loyalty. they sacrificed
alike
We do not know his station in life,
because from every station came the
patriotic response of the five millions.

and the departing of caravels which
braved the murderous seas to reach
the battle lines for maintained ma.
tlonality and preserveX acivilization.
The service flag marked mansion and
cottage alike, and riches were com
mon to all home in the consciousness
of service to country
We do not know the eminence of
his birth, but we do know the glory
of his death. He died for his coun
try, and greater devotion hath no man
than this. He died unquestioning. I'M

and hope on his lips, that his country
should triumph and its civilization
survive. AS a typical soldier of this
representative democracy, he fought
and died, believing in the indisputable

NAMELESS HERO RESTS IN ARLINGTON
PRESIDENT HARDING DELIVERS FINE TRIBUTE
TO SOLDIERS WHO DIED FIGHTING In FRANCE

As this panorama of unutterable de-
struCtiOn ViSualiZed the horrors of
modern conflict, there grew on me the
sense of the failure of a civilization
which can leave its problems to such
cruel abitramcnt. Surely no one in
authority. with human attributes and
full appraisal of the patriotic 10y
atty of his countrymen, could ask the
manhood of kingdom, empire, or re-
public To make such sacrifice until all
season had failed, until appeal to JUS
ice through understanding had been
denied, until every effort of love and
consideration for fellow men had
)een exhausted, until freedom itself
md inyiolate honor had been brutally
threatened.
! speak not as pacitist fearing war,
)ut as one who loves Justice and
hates war. speak as one who be-
!ieves the highest function of gov
}rnment is to give its citizens the Sc
'urity of peace, the opportunity to
achieve. and the pursuit OF happiness.
The Hottest tribute we can bestow
.Oday--the heroically earned tribute
fashioned in deliberate conviction.
out OF unclouded thought neither
hadowed by remorse nor made vain
by fancies. is the commitment of this
.epublic to an advancement never
made before If American achieve
ment is a cherished pride at home, if
our unselfishness among nations is all
we wish it to be, and ours is Il help
tul example in the world. then let us
give of our influence and strength.
yea. of our aspirations and convic
tons. to put mankind on a little high
er plane. eXulting and eXalting, with
wars distressing and depressing trag-
edies barred from the stage of right
eous civilization.
There have been a thousand de-
lenses justly and periodically made
a thousand offenses which reason and
righteousness ought to have stayed.
Let us beseech all men to join us in
seeking the rule under which reason
and righteousness shall prevail.
Standing today on hallowed ground
conscious that all America has halt
ed to share in the tribute of heart and
mind and soul to this fellow Ameri
can. and knowing that the world is
noting this expression of the repub-
lies mindfulness. it is fitting to say
that his sacrifice. and that of the
millions dead. shall not be in vain
There must be, there shall be. the
commanding voice of conscious civ
ilizatoin against armed warfare.
AS we return this poor clay to its
mother soil. garlanded by love and
covered with the decorations that
only nations can bestow. | can sense
the prayers of our people, of all peo-
pies, that this Armistice day shall
mark the beginning of a new and
lasting era of peace on earth, good
will among men. Let me join in that
prayer.
Our Father who art in heaven, hal
lowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done on earth, as
it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread, and forgive us our tres
passes as we forgive those who tres
pass against us. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil
for Thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory. forever Amen.

On such an occasion as this, amid
such a scene, our thoughts alternate
between defenders living and defend
ers dead. A grateful republic will be
worthy of them both. Our part is tc
at one for the losses of heroic dead
