(Continued I'rora rase One.)
' Hint marks the eternal sleep of the
unknown soldier—a trinity of memo
ties that shall be forever hallowed
in America. ■
There was not an eulogy of him at
his bier. He had not wished it. In
life he was eulogized and criticised
»■" have been but few of his prede
cessors and in death it was his wish
that the eulogies paid him on this
final day he spoken only softly in the
hearts of his countrymen.
In lift? it had been peace he sought
’—he put 5,000,000 men tinder arms
and sent them into war seeking it—
and in death at last lie found it.
Tho last earthly door through
Which his war-worn body was borne
this afternoon was marked "'The Way
to Peace." The words were chiseled
In the cold stone, a reminder that
death brings sometimes what life has
refused. The little chapel wherein
his body was consigned to time’s
keeping was appropriately Bethlehem
chapel. On its walls and windows
were depicted the life story of the
ankind’s long
merlcan been
buried so simply. Present, there
about his bier this bleak February
afternoon were only those his family
wished. There was nope of that mad
Scrambling and undignified hustling
for points of vantage that have mar
red solemn occasions in the past.
There were friends of a lifetime
there, his college classmates, his chil
dren, ills intimates, without regard to
rank or station in life, those who had
served him well in however humble
the capacity, and finally there was
the president of the United States
and a selected few of the govern
ment over which lie long presided.
Only Keniiniler.
The presence of these latter was
tho only reminder at the tomb itself
at the high place Woodrow Wilson
held. But not even the wishes of the
dead could quite remove from the fi
nal scenes the evidences that an event
iftomentous in the world's history
vlas being written down.
Outsido the great half finished
cathedral which is to he his final
resting place, stood thousands of
ixiople—come voluntarily to stand
and shift restlessly in the sharp cold
and demonstrate that no ordinary
mortal was here being buried.
To ttiese thousands outside came
clearly tho simple scriptural quota
tions and prayers which constituted
the final services. Tho words were
wafted out of the littie chapel by ra
dio to the waiting multitude and far
off were caught up and broadcast to
countless others. The whole world
listened ns Woodrow Wilson went to
his final resting place. And yet its
ence Was not felt :n the dimly lit
cnapel.
Three milts from the cathedral the
business and commerce of a great
city ceased as the casket was lowered
to its resting place. The chimes of
llpiphany pealed forth their sorrow
ful message that Woodrow IN ilson
was being lowered to his grave.
10,000 in Front of Home
Half an hour before the time for
the services to begin a throng of
30,000 people was massed, in front
of the Wilson home and in the streets
adjacent to S street. Along the route
over which his body was borne to
the cathedral grounds there were
other thousands.
Overcast skies and flurries of snow
had no effect in checking those who
sought by their presence to pay a
last mark of respect to the former
president.
The simple service began in the
■library of the home iti S street. There
Were present only members of the
immediate family, led by Mrs. Wilson
n,nd ids daughters; the president and
Mrs. Coolidge, Chief Justice and Mrs.
Taft and the honorary pallbearers,
ijrawn fiom among the closest inti
mates of the former president.
There beside the black casket, dec
prated only with an American flag
made of red, white and blue flowers,
tiie still air of the room was broken
at. 3 o'clock by the voice of the Key

Beach. He had been the Wilson'* pas
tor for many years at Princeton.
Then followed scriptural readings
by Bishop Janies A. Freeman, an old
time friend. He read from Deut. 33:27,
and Jude 24:25:
“The Eternal God is thy refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting*
arms; and He shall thrust out the
enemy from before Thee, and shall de
stroy them—
"Now unto Him that is able to keep
you from falling, and to present you
faultless before the presence of His
glory with exceeding joy—
“To the only wise God our Savior
be glory and majesty, dominion and
power, both now and ever—Amen.”
There was a rustle among tho sor
rowing group and then came a group
of il'rvice men, their breasts glitter
ing with the medals won in the same
war that shattered the man before
them. Eight soldiers, eight sailors
and eight marines. Tenderly they
hoisted the heavy burden of their
comrade to their stalwart shoulders
and carried the casket out of the
family library and down the broad
central staircase to the black private
hearse waiting below.
The restless murmur of the great
crowd that packed the sidewalk op
posite the red brick house was stilled
ns their burden Was slid gently into
the hearse. Here and there a woman
could be heard sobbing. Handker
chiefs were everywhere, and men un
covered.
Motors purred up to the door and
the black-cloaked widow and members
of the family disappeared into them.
Silently then the short Journey lo
the cathedral was begun. Through
K street the sorrowful procession pass
ed and thence into the broad expanse
of Massachusetts avenue to the en
trance to the cathedral. The service
men again took up their burden, and
preceded by Bishop Freeman and fol
lowed by those who had come from
the house they passed through the
doorway marked "The Way of Peace"
and down the broad central aisle of
the little chapel.
A Sudden llusli.
, There was a sudden hush over tlie
600 people gathered therq as Bishop
Freeman began reciting:
"I am tlie Resurrection and the
Lite, saitli the Lord: he that believeth
in Me. though he were dead, yet shall
he live, and whosoever livetli and be
lieveth in Me, shall never die—
"We brought nothing infb this
world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out. The Lord gave and the
Lord hath taken away; blessed lie
the name of the Lord—”
The burden was put down by the
little door that marks the entrance to
the crypt. The reading continued.
The casket was lowered into the
crypt. The audience sat quiet until
Mrs. Wilson and the immediate
mourners and the president and Mrs.
Coolidge had left the chapel and then
moved out as the door to the crypt
softly closed.
