WREATHS OF FLOWERS
 IN INCREASING STREAM
 PUT ON SOLDIER GRAVE

PARIS, April 4 (by Associated Press) are brought by an unceasing pilgrimage of mourners and placed on the slab that marks the grave of the unidentified French soldier under the great Arch of Fri umph that dominates the western part of the city.
 The pile of flowers and wreaths is fed with fresh contributions from early morning until late at night. There seems no end to the little cere- monies by organizations held at the grave to honor the war dead Little shop girls bring small punches of vio- lets that cost 50 confines; statesmen passing through Paris place there great wreaths as tributes from their countries.
 Since November II, 1920, when the unknown soldier was placed under the arch, there has always been a group or crowd of mourners at the SIll lI1S ol IllS uSdu. l uclc udS dlNSy S been a huge pile of flowers. On Sunday, thousands stream there from the F avenues that converge at the Etoile, as the circular open space surrounding the arch is called and there is procession of people with barred heads passing by the mound of flowers.
 Many teachers bring their classes and there is a movement afoot to ar range that in each of the public schools of Paris small contribution be collected on a separate day in each school to buy flowers to be placed on the slab by delegation of honor pupils, so that there may be such a tribute of the children of France to the war dead every day of the year.

LA EP0CHA IS OPPOSED
 TO CEDING OF ANTILLES

BUENOS AIRES, April 1 (by As sociated Press). La Epoca, the gov ernment organ, comments editorially on the proposal of United States Senator Willis that Great Britain and France cancel part of their debt to the United States by ceding their island possessions in the Antilles to that country, saying:
 If this proposal is carried to a finish, North American dominion in the Antilles sea will be absolute. Will this operation be realized? For MT. Willis, it appears, the purchase thing as the purchase of house."

A SON OF THE HIDALGOS,
BY RICARDO LEON.
InAukIsa n

The author of this distinctly
Spanish novel is a member of the
spanish Royal Academy and one of
the mcst popular and distinguished
writers of his country. This par
ticular novel. which is said to be
Senior de I,eon's masterpiece, is a
serious tale which shows the folly
of yielding to the lure of Bohemia
and of forsaking the ways Of sim
plicity and the teachings of simple
faith. Pedro the son of the Hidal-
gos, runs away from the quiet
village of SantilIana to follow the
troupe of travelling players, and
eventually to go to Madrid. where
he becomes a member of a group
of artists, actors and socialists, one
of them, Rosa Luna. he marries.
The excesses of the life which he
leads while under the Influence of
these friends undermine Pedro's
health and after the death of his
wife he returns to the remote
village of Santillana, to Juliana, the
sweetheart of his youth and to the
bitter realization Of the emptiness
of his life. 1t is not cheerfully fan
tastic nor does it have the sensa-
tional qualities of the work Of
Icons famous countryman, Blasco
Ihanez. It has. however, the quail
tiles OF beauty and a sombre
grandeur which are preserved by
the splendid translation by Mrs
Catalina Paez McManus
