ter" A great monument stands on
the spot which once witnessed the
'pOmp and circumstance of war"-the
surrender of a British army. But,
nearby, the smooth, green sod gives
no sign that. the soil beneath holds
the dust of young Pennsylvania
backwOOdSman, one of the many who
died in defense of American liberty.
Who was he? Just an Unknown Sol
dier of the Revolution! ..
Before the ink on his enlistment
papers in the First infantry was
scarcely dry, another boy, who had
never before been beyond the con-
fines of the rOck-strewn acres of the
little New England farm where he
was born, was on his way to the
western frontier, there to serve in
lonely outpost called Fort Dearborn.
1t was as though he were on another
planet, so far as communication with
the world he had known was con-
cerned. But somehow he managed to
live through the cold, desolate win
tiers and the hot, fever-breeding sum-
mers amid the swamps along the Chi
cagO river.
With the summer Of 1912 came the
news of war with Great Britain, and,
more alarming still, the threat of an
Indian outbreak. Then-orders to
evacuate Fort Dearborn.
One hot August day the retreat be-
gan. From out of the sandhills along
Lake Michigan swooped the fierce
POttawatOmies. A short, desperate
fight and the Fort Dearborn massacre
was history. That night there was
a hellish orgy in the Indian camp and
the pitying stars looked down upon
writhing figure at the stake. What
if this was one of the acts in the
mighty drama called 'the Winning of
the West? What if the future was
to see one of the worlds greatest
cities rise on these sandy shores?
Could that knowledge have been rec
Ompense for the fiery agony of this
New England lad above whose un-
marked grave the hurrying feet of
ChicagO's millions today beat an end
less requiem? Who was he? An I'm
known Soldier of the War of 1872!
Though some of his neighbors de-
nounced it as an ''unhOly war" into
which President Polk was leading the
nation, a certain Middle Western farm
boy was one of the first to respond
when the President on May 13. 1916,
called for $4,000 volunteers to drive
the MeXicans back across the Rio
Grande. And so he was among those

WOMEN ADDING TO INFLUENCE IN ILL
 GERMAN POLITICS

BERLIN, Aug. 24.-Germany may be mans country" but for all that, women are taking an increas- ing part in the legislative business of the various German states. Of the Reichstag's 490 members, g are women, and 20 of these are so- cial-democrats.
 Even greater proportion oi women sit in the Prussian Diet. Of it's 45O deputies, 42 are of the fair sex, and again 20 of these are so- cial-democrats.
 In the other states, Eve is less in evidence among the solons. In Bavaria, only 5 of the 130 members of the Diet are women. In Ba- den they number out of 72; in Wurttemburg there are only three women parliamentarians in a House of 30, and in Saxony, of 96 deputies are women.
