In Washington, where the Disarma

known Soldier will probably be buried

| Yet his spirit cannot be buried. The
spirit of the Dead typified by the

The souls will say We gave our lives
that temple of peace might be erect
cd, now it is the duty of the living,
the individuals. the country and the
State to see that what we stood for
shall not be lost
There is going to be temple of
peace-a temple erected ard builded
in the hearts Of men, One corner
stone will be established in this fair
land and one where the long rows of
crosses marx the dead.
The preamble to the Legion Con-
stitution begins "For God and Coun-
try we associate ourselves" I some
times wonder if the name of God was
not the last word on the lips of some
of the boys as they went over the top,
said the speaker. If we go out and
live up to the things enumerated in
that preamble there will never be a
stain there on the folds of that flag
we love. ~
Mr.. Farrington's address was fol-
lowed with hearty applause.

After the reading of each name the

the conclusion taps were sounded by
Bugler Morton.
The program of exercises was
timed SO that taps were sounded
within minute previous to the
blowing of the city fire whistle which
announced the beginning of the
period of two minutes of silence,
while the body of the Unknown Sol
dier was being lowered into the
grave at Arlington cemetery, at the
nations capital. Another blast of
the whistle gave signal that the two
minutes were ended, and the "Star
Spangled Banner" was played by the
band.
Hon. Charles S. Hichborn
The second speaker, Hon. Charles
S. Hichborn, was then introduced by
Commander Southland. Mr.. Hichborn
spoke as follows:

Three days stand out, in my mind,
as marking the greatest events in the
political history Of the world: June
18th, upon which day the royal seal
was affixed to Magma Charta-tne
recognition Of human rights and in
dividual liberty; July 4th, the birth
day Of representative government,
and this 11th day Of November,
which. in 1918. witnessed the defeat
of absolutism and the triumph of
civilization.
Triumph? Yes, for out of the hell
of horrible war had come con-
sciousness Of the fatherhood of AL
mighty God and the interdependence
and brotherhood of human race.
o, the trials! Oh. the tribulations.
Q, the depth Of woe!
Every garden had been a Gethse-
name, every road the road to CAL
vary, but the spirit of mutual help
fulness, which WOULD NOT be cru
Gifted, has found a home in hearts
made strong through suffering. and
Cody nations had learned the nobii-
ity of service. -
