Maynard Minor. president general of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, at memorial exercises this
afternoon in the amphi theater in
Arlington cemetery
The ceremonies in tribute to the
unknown heroes of this nation. who
died in the world war. were attended
exclusively by the officers and 200
accredited delegates and alternates
of the society.
The delegates left Continental Memo
rial Hall at 1 o'clock in automobiles
decorated with the official insignia OF
the society. Some delay was encoun-
tered in lining up the machines in front
of the hall for the journey. Threatening
skies, which were preceded by showers,
mated that more than 1000 of the 200
delegates and alternates went to Ar
lington.
For many of the delegates the trip to
Arlington was the first visit to the ma
tional cemetery. The automobiles as
cended in a steady line up the hill to
the vicinity of the amphitheater. where
they were parked or dismissed.
Just preceding the conclusion of
the exercises, Mrs. Minor placed a
of Americas unknown hero. She was
followed by the state regents of the
organization, who placed similar
tributes on the shrine.
The program included Scripture and
prayer by Mrs. Selden P. Spencer.
wife of Senator Spencer of Missouri
and chaplain general of the society;
solo. "The Heavens Resound With
His Glory. by Flora McGill Keefer,
and prayer by, the ex-chaplain gen.
eral.
Faith in Hero's Memory.
The propaganda that has sought.
nations has failed as it deserved
to fail" declared Mrs. Minor. Its
kissing tongues of slander should
fall on deaf ears hereafter. If we are
to remember this boy who lies at
Arlington"
1.-The thought of Arlington" she
continued should forever shame the
base agitator into silence. America
will not forget the cause for which
she paid the price of Arlington. nor
will she forget the allies who held
the lines for nearly three years be-
fore her flag was unfurled
1.-THE conference on the Limitation
of armament has drawn the nations
once more together in the same spirit
in which they fought together for
liberty and righteousness and lasting
peace.
Here at the grave of our unknown
dead we dedicate ourselves to the
high ideals for which our allies and
ourselves have given our sons. We
offer to them a nations gratitude and
reverence through the women who by
their ancestry and their heritage are
pre- e-eminentfy pledged to perpetuate
the ideals of liberty and justice and
national honor for which these sons
laid down their lives.
Service and Remembrance.
1--WE offer fervent prayers to the
fathers of all to make US worthy of
these men who gave their all that we
might live in peace and security. We
pray that we may be given the
strength to service and the stead
fastness to remember.
"Humbly and reverent1y we come
here today to bring the tribute of a
sacred vow to Americas unknown
dead. In the presence of the unseen
hosts of God here in this sacred spot
we VOW that we shall not forget
what this unknown American and his
fellows did to save the world and
civilization from cruel brutishness
"Greater than tribute of flowers,
greater than tributes of praise is the
tribute of loyalty to the things for
which these men died. These things
cannot be measured by material
standards; they are the things of the
spirit.
They are the things made sacred
by the blood and sacrifice of millions
in all ages. Liberty and justice, faith
and honor, mercy and truth these
were the things that Germany vio-
lated and that these men fought to
save. They poured their fresh young
strength into the struggle for right
eous cause, and planted our flag with
the allied flags in time to help stem
|! the tide of horror that seemed about
to submerge the world.
Good Triumphs Over Evil.
1.-THE grim, gray lines broke and
fed. Good prevailed over evil; right
prevailed over might; righteousness
