chat the Germans take no further part
In the negotiations between the allies
and the Russians, but the reply does
not modify the effectiveness OF the
Russo-German treaty.

by Russia, in case the soviet regime

Genoa, April 81 (By tie Associated
Press) If the Russians are granted
recognition de jure and adcquate finan-
cial help, they state in their reply, sub
mtted to the entente to-day, that
are willing to admit Russia's Wal
and prc-war debts, waive their
counter claims and restore the usc
Of naticnalized property to its for
mer owners or satisfy the claims Of
foreigners in cases where the property
cannot be restored.
The clause Of the Russian reply re-

"Section II-In view Of the serious
economic conditions of Russia, how
ever, such creditor governments are
prepared to write down the war debts
owing by Russia to them by percens-
age to be determined later; and the
countries represented at Genoa would
be prepared to consider not only the
postponement Of payments of interest
upon financial claims but also the re-
mission of some part of the arrears of

As mstifying their contention that
the allies could not as a matter Of
right demand compensation for prop
erty, the Russians cite the abolition Of
slavery in the United States, where
neither Americans nor foreigners were
compensated. They also cite the adop

The Unknown Soldier

The Unknown Soldier has been 8 symbol to his fellow fighters as we'll as to the nation that did him the honod of burial at Arlington. To the former he has seemed debt and duty paid once and for all by nation. Meantime 8 tribute which aims to express what the nation felt in burying the Unknown Soldier at Arlington is crowned with one of the Pulitzer prizes. The writer now emerges from anonymity as Frank NJ. O'Brien, of the editorial staff of the New York Herald, and receives the prize of S5O0 flor the best editorial ar- ti ble written during the year, the test of excellence being clearness of style, m oral purpose, sound reasoning, and the power to induce public opinion in the right direction" The article was published in the Herald on Novemb mber II, 1921, and is herewith reprinted:
 That which takes place today at the National Cemetery in Arlington is a symbol, mystery and 6 tribute. It is an ntombment only in the physical sense. It is rather the enthronement of Duty and Honor This man who died for his country is the symbol of those qualities; far more perfect sym bol than any man could be whose name and deeds we knew. He represents more, really, than the unidentified dead, for we can not separate them spiritually from the war heroes whose names are written on their grave stones. He-this spirit whom we honor-stands for the unselfishness of all
 This, of all monuments to the dead, is lasting and inmutable. So long as men revere the finer things of life the tomb of the nameless hero will remain shrine. Nor, with the shifts of time and mind, can there be changing of values. No historian shall rise to modify the virtues or the faults of the Soldier. He has an immunity for which kings might pray. The years may bring erosion to the granite, but not to the memory of the Unknown.
 It is common weakness of humanity
The Kusko times., 1922-10-14

to ask the questions that can never be answered in this life. Probably none to whom the drama of the Unknown Soldier has appealed has not wondered who, in the sunshine of earth, was the protagonist of today's ceremony. 4 logger from the PenobScot? An or chaJdist from the Pacific coast? A well-driller from Texas? A machinist from Connecticut? A lad who left his hoe to rust among the Missouri corn? A longshoreman from Hell's Kitchen? Perhaps some youth from the tobacco fields, resting again in his own Vir ginia. All that the army tells us of him is that he died in battle. All that the heart tells is that some woman loved him. More than that no man shall learn. In this mystery, as in the riddle of the universe, the wise won- der- but they would not know.
 What were his dreams. his ambi tions? Likely he shared those common. to the millions; a life of peace and hon est struggle, with such small success as comes to most who try; and at the end the place on the hillside among his fathers. Today to do honor at bis last resting-place cone the greatest sol diers of the age, famous statesmen from other continents, bhe President, the high judges and bhe legislators of his own country, and manv men who, like himself, fought for the flag. At his bier will gather the most remark able group that America has seen. And the tomb which Fate saved for him is, instead of the narrow cell on the vil- lage hillside, one as lasting as that of Rameses and as inspiring as Ma poleon's.
 1t is a great religious ceremony, this burial today. The exaltation of the nameless bones would not be possible except for Belief Where were Duty and Honor, the weil-spripgs of Victory, if mankind feared that death drew 8 black curtain behind which lay noth- ing but the dark2 So all in whom the spark of hope has not died can we'll be- lieve that we. to whom the soldier is a mystery, are not a mystery to him. They can believe that the watchers at Arlington today are not merely few thousands of living, but the countless battalions of the departed. Tho he were dead, yet shall he live"-there is the promise to which men hold when everything of this earth has siipt away.
 All the impressive ritual of today would be mockery if we did not be- lleve that. out in an infinity which astronomers can not chart, or mathe- maticlans bound, the Unknown Soldier and the glorious dead whom we honor in his dust are looking down npon thls little spinning ball, conscious Of our reverence. And when noon arrives, signal for the momeEt of silent prayer, few of those who stand with barred head head will lack conviction that the rites at Arlington are viewed by other than mortal eyes. Only in that spirit may we honor the Unknown Soldier and those who, like him, died for the Re public.
 Unknown, but not unknowing.

~SWEARINGEN'S DEFEAT

The defeat Of John E. S~wearingen
for Superintendent Of Education
was expected. MIR. Swearingen's in
ability to give consideration to the
opinions Of others, and his dictate
rial amer in handling the affairs
pertaining to his office, made many
people unfricndly to him.
But Ii must be said in fairness to
the defeated candidate that he did
a good part for the public schools of
the state. The very qualities which
made him unpopular and which caus,
ed his defeat made for the better
ment Of the schools of the state,
Without a man of determination
such as he was and is the schools
would not be what they are today.
Of ourse there is much yet to be
done. From what we hear of Mr..
Swearingen's successor he is inter
ested in the upbuilding of the
schools. We only hope that he may
be able to do as much for the schools
as has his predecessor, If he does,
the state will not lose by the defeat
of his opponent.
