THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. NOVKMDKR 12. 1921. -Unknown Soldier Laicl to Final Rest In United States 4 Nameless Hero Who Gave Up All for Liberty Buried In Arlington National Cemetery. M (rnlinul From Pan On.) (l ienor. They lined the long road from jj.tbe capital to the hilMdc where he Yflrrpi, tonight; they flowed like a i' title over the slope about hi burial place; they choked the bridge that lead aero the river to the fields Of the brave, in whicl he is the lat- jtit comer. A he was carried past through the ''banki of humanity that lined I'enn 'j wlvania avenue, a (olenin, reverent rjAtsh hild'the living wall. Vet, 'Ijthere was not so much of sorrow as ''of high pride in it all, a pride be yond the reach of shouting and the clamor that , marks less tacred nio- iijcnts in life. ; Out there in the broad avenue was ,1'a' simple soMier, dead for honor of i'lhe flag. He was nameless. No jtlHan knew what part in the great i'ltie of the nation he had filk-d when past he passed over his home soil. 01 lit in France, he had been ready jito flic for the flag and what - it ineans. They read the message of i the pageant clear, there silent . thousands ajong the way. They 1,'f.tood in almost holy awe to' take ,' their own part in what was theirs, the glory of the American ' people, honored here in the honors showered on America's nameless son from France. President Fellows Casket. , Soldiers, sailors and marines all .. played their part in the thrilling spectacle as the cortege rolled along. And just behind the casket; with its " faded French flowers on the draped fag, walked the president, the chosen '.'leader of 100,000,000 in whose name ' he was chief mourner at this bier. i Ifeside him Btrode the man under iwhom the fallen hero had lived and ,(lied in France, General Pershing, wearing only the single medal of "Victory that every American soldier f jiwight wear as his only decoration, j!:'-. Then row. on row came the men I who lead the nation today or have tiiguided its destinies before. They 'i-Mfere all there.'walking proudly with ij'jtge and frailties, of the flesh for gotten. Judges, senators, represen tatives, highest officers of every mili !; tary arm of. government and a grudging little group of the nation's ftmost valorous j sons, the medal of Alienor men. . Some were gray and 3tyent and drooping with old wounds; jjjbme trim and erect as the day they . won their way to fame. All walked gladly in thii w nameless comrade's vl?st parade.

For ltjhat dead man's sake, the former ijiresident had put asde his dread of I'iseeming to parade his physical pWeakness and risked health, perhaps ilife, to appear among the mourners s.ilor the fallen. JJjiii There was hand Clapping and a sfscheer here and there for the man the carriage, a tribute to the spirit I'jthat brought him to honor the na tion's nameless hero, whose cora- taander-in-chief he had been. After President Harding and most i-tpi me nign oignuanes 01 me guv arnment. had turned aside at the S'White House, the procession, headed p'lBy.its solid blocks of soldiery and battalions of sailor comrades, jvjnoved on with Pershing, now flank tfi by Secretary Weeks and Secre fvtary Denby, for the long road to the tomb.' It marched on, always be ttween the human borders of the way , 6l victory the nation, had made for iHtself of the great avenue; on over ' the old bridge that spans the Poto iMiac, on up-the long hill to Fort Myer !v.,and at last- to the gate of the great jj:fcemetery beyond where soldier and '. sailor folk sleep-by the thousands. There the., lumbering guns of artil !; lery swung aside, the cavalry drew jheir horses 'out of the long line and i left' to .the foot soldiers and the sail J ors and marines, the last stage of the journey. , '.., j.'-r. Thousand Surround Grave. ;f;j: Ahead, the white marble of the K-amphitheatcr gleamed through the ."' trees where it stands crowning the ,low slope of the hills that sweep j,i.upward from the ; river, and . just i vacross was Washington, its clustered "buildings and monuments to great ,w lead who have gone before a mov-j-jj'ng picture in the autumn haze. I';';. People in thousands were moving i'jjiabout the great circle of the amphi-;-rtheatSr. . The great ones to whom !; places had been given in the sacred ? enclosure and the plain folk who trudged the long way just to glimpse .the pageant from afar, were finding : . their places. Everywhere within the pillared enclosure bright uniforms of .foreign soldiers appeared. They were illaden with the jeweled orders of ig.rank and merit worn to honor an L4iAmeric.au private soldier, greater fcflian any there in the majesty of his sacrifice's; in the tribute his honors J- Sjvere paid to all Americans who died, srt Down below the platform, placed Srr the casket, in a stone vault, lay Wreaths and garlands brought from England's king and guarded by Brit Slifeh soldiers. To them came the Brit ish ambassador in the full uniform jjjbf his rank, to. bid them keep these jf-tributes from overseas safe against p:that hour. F;:; Notables of World. f.."

Faint and distant, the xilvery strain of a military band Mole into the biff white bowl ol the ampi thoater. The low cadence and mourning note of a funeral march crew clearer and the roll end mutter of the muff cd drums. At the arch where the choir waited, the hero comrade of the dead, lifted his casket down and, fol lowed by the generals and the ad mirals who had walked beside him trom the capitol, he was carried to the place of honor. Ahead, moved the white robed singers, chanting solemnly. Carefully, the casket was placed above the banked flower and the marine band played tacred nielo die until the moment the president and Mrs. Harding stepped to their places beside the casket; then the crashing, triumphant chords of the Star Spangled Banner - swept .the gathering to its tect again. Nation Pays Tribute. A prayer, carried out over the crowd by amplifiers, so that no word was missed, took a moment or two, then the sharp clear call of the bugle rang "attention and for two min utes the nation stood .at pause for the dead, just at high noon. No sound broke the rjuict as all stood with bowed heads. It was much as though a mighty hand had checked the world in full course. Then the band sounded and in a mighty chor us rolled up the words of America, from the hosts within and without the great, open hall of valor. ' President Harding stepped for ward, beside the coffin to say for America the thing that today was nearest to the nation's heart, that sacrifices such as this nameless man, fallen in battle, might perhaps be made unnecessary down through the coming years. Every word that ircsidcnt Harding spoke reached every person through the. amplifiers ana, reached other thousands upon thousands in New York and San ! r rancisco. President shows Emotion. Mr. Harding showed strong emo tion as his lips formed the last words of the address. He paused then, with raised hand and head bowed, went on in the measured, rolling perjod of the Lord's prayer. The response that came back to him from the thousands that he faced, from the other thousands out over the slopes beyond, perhaps from other thousands away near the Pa cific or close packed in the heart of the nation's greatest city, rose like a chant. . The marble arches hummed with" the solemn sound. Then the .foreign officers who stand highest among the soldiers or sailors of their flags, came, one by one, to the bier to place gold and jeweled emblems for the brave above the breast of the sleeper. Al ready, as the great prayer ended, the president had set the American seal of admiration for the valiant, the na tion's love for the brave deeds and the courage that defies death upon the casket. Side by side he laid the medal. o honor and the distinguished Service cross. ' ' ' And below, set in place with rev erent hands; grew the long line of foreign honors, -the Victoria cross, never before laid on the breast of any but those who had served the English flag; all ; the highest hon ors of France, and - Belgium, and Italy, and Rournania, and Czecho slovakia, and Poland. To General Jacques of Belgium, it remained to add his own touch to these honors. He tore from the breast of his own tunic, the medal of . valor pinned there by the Belgian king, tore it with a sweeping gesture, and tender ly bestowed it on the unknown American warrior. Last Rite at Hand. Through the religious service and prayers that fpllowed, the swelling crowd sat motionless until it rose to join in the old, consoling words of "Rock of Ages" and the last rito for the dead was at hand. Lifted by his hero bearers from the stage, the unknown was carried in his flag wrapped, simple coffin, out io tin wide sweep t of the "lerrace. . The bearers laid the sleeper down above the crypt in which had been placed a little of the soil of France. The dust his blood helped redeem from alien hands will mingle with his dust as time marches by. The simple words of the burial ritaul were said by Bishop Brant, flowers from War Mothers of Ameri ca and England were laid in place. For the Indians of America, Chief Plenty Coos came to call upon the Great Spirit of the Redmen, with gesture and chant and tribal tongue that the dead should not have died in vain,. that war might end, peace be purchased by such . blood, as this. Upon the casket he laid the coup stick of his tribal office and the feathered war bonnet from his own head. Then ' the "casket, with its weight of honors, was lowered into the crypt. - Guns Boom Farewell A rocking blast of gunfire rang from the woods. The glittering circle of bayonets stiffened to a salute to the dead. Again the guns shouted their message of honor and farewell, aeain they boomed out: a loyal comrade was being laid to his last, long rest. High and clear and true in the echoes of the guns, a bugle lifted the old, old notes of "taps," the lullaby for the living soldier, in deat his requiem. Long ago some forgotten poet caught its meaning and set it down that soldiers everywhere might know its mesas:e as they sing to rest: "Fades the light; And afar, ; Goeth day, cometh night, Aid a star Leadeth all, speedeth all, To their rest.- " The guns roared out again in the national salute. - He was home, the unknown, to sleep forever among hi own.

Japan Is Willing" To Give Up Mueh To Gain Good Will ... ,r Delegates Reaily to Co to Almobt Any Lengths to Gam Trust of Other ' Nations.) ls ; By'PHILIP KINSLEY.' ,v Washington, ' Nov; H.Japan'i first aim at the second peace confer ence i to gain the good will anj trust of other nations, which hat been alienated durinir the last few years. To this end the delegates are pre pared to give up much. The Japan ese correspondent here have seen that and are telling the people at home not to expect too much. lhe will undoubtedly give up Shantung. They will offer to surrender all ex tra territorial rights, ' garrisons and concessions if the other power do the same. . , Great Britain will not do this. As a last resort, in order to win the world friendship again, and par ticularly the trust of China, Japan is said to be considering scrapping the famous 21 demands and taking its chances in ordinary business lease and commercial methods. This would be a victory for th.e new df plomacy of America. ..... ' There are rumors that, there will be a good deal of treaty scrapping, including a stand by Secretary Hughes for the abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese . alliance. Into this discard the Lansing-Ishii agreement and the Koot-Takahira agreement would also go, leaving the Orient where it stood at the outbreak of the war. As to a new start, the British and Japanese probably will favor the ex tension of the financial consortium into an international body and would control, temporarily, the fi nances and government of China. The Japanese have little hope that Amer ica will enter into such an alliance. China will oppose It bitterly. Failing in this, the extension of the Anglo Japanese alliance into a new arrange ment,, including America, will be suggested, first, it is expected,;,. to Lloyd' George. . .. Stae Set for World - : Disarmament Meeting (Continued From Paire One.) . sions to .follow. The plan, is declar ed to. be a, most practical one and the representatives of the foreign governments are most anxious to learn its -details. , - Plan Kept Secret. ? Secretary Hughes has insisted that the plan be not disclosed, however, until it can be officially submitted to the conference. : It probably ; Will be submitted within the next few days and will be made public, as soon as the participating.- powers have received it . , j Until theAmerican plan for'lirtn'ta tion of armament has been disclosed and stud'ed, it is not expected that the foreign delegates will suggest any limitation scheme. But alterna tive plans are almost certain to fol low the disclosure of Americas pro posal and these may not ,be more than certain modifications ' ot the American proposal. - The foreign delegates look first to the United States, as originater of the conference, to blaze the trail and they deny intimations that have been cast about what they are not pre pared to follow. . Delegates Optimistic. Optimism and confidence per vades every delegation and the in fluential leaders of all the powers believe that the business of the con ference can be achieved within a rea sonably short time. Six weeks for the deliberations and .conclusions will be ample, say Mr. Balfour, Pre mier Briand and others, and the American delegates agree with them. , Aside from armaments, the most perplexing problem ,for the confer ence is China. China's difficulties are appreciated by all the powers, but China has not responded with performance to the advice given by this and other governments in re spect of reform and national unit, and it has rejected the four power financial consortium, organized at the instigation of the United States for the purpose of serving China, of removing dangerous inter national competition - for ' exclusive concessions there and .'even the alienation of Chinese territory. China and her outlying territories presents a hard problem, but there is optimism here concerning its so lution. - ' -- one eleven cigarettes Three Inseparables One for mildnejs.VlRGINLA One tbt mellowness.

"It cannot adjourn until it has de cided how civilization hereafter shall be organized. There will be 10,000,000 men in attendance at that conference whom the delegates will not dare to disregard 10,000,000 dead men, who died in the world war. Those conferees must put civi lization on a new and right basis." Rev. Mr. Lowe, who spent five years in Japan and other parts of the Orient, discounted the ."yellow peril," the menace of war with Ja pan. , Resolution Demands World-Wide Agreement of Nations to Disarm The following resolution was unanimously adopted yesterday at the patriotic meeting at the Audi torium, held immediately following the Armistice day parade, and trans mitted to Washington last night: Whereas, the international con ference on .limitation of arma ment has;, on this third anniver sary of Armistice day, convened in Washington, D. C, upon invita tion of our country, , We, the citizens of Omaha in mass .meeting assembled:' . Proclaim it as our conviction, which we are certain is the con viction of the great masses of the peoples of this and other coun-. tries, that civilization must shake off V the terrific burden of arma ment; that it must turn its ener gies and its abilities from war to peace, from destruction to con struction. We, therefore, petition our American representatives to use their best endeavors to win the world away from war and its ter rible toll of life and wealth. We do not propose that Ameri ca alone disarm.. That would be folly and would endanger all dem ocratic civilization. We demand international agreement, knowing that the peoples of all countries voice the . convictions, here ex pressed. We are 'gazing upon a world whose spirit calls for peace. . Peace with the world of today is more than an economic neces sity it is a spiritual necessity, a moral necessity. , Let the international conference respond to the heart beat of the world. Let it recognize the intel ligence of the world and measure up to that intelligence. International peace is practical, not merely because the world in its depression and anrfuish wishes peace, but because the world is w I It Is Not Too Soon to Think About Your Christmas Victrola Why not decld NOW on the Victrola you desire.

"The only yel low peril we need fear is gold the grcca for gold" ( , Labor Pledged to U. S, ' ' Henry F. Wulf spoke as a reprt srntative of organized labor and pledged "every drop of blood and every ounce of energy of 3,500,000 union men of the United StaU''-to any cause espoused by this nation. "We join in this movement today," he said, "because labor bears tfie bulk of every war burden and Is anxious that -action may be taken to prevent further conflicts." C. Adams, chairman of the meeting committee, introduced J. M. Gibb," president of the Central Labor Union, who presided. Rev. John McCormick, president of Crcighton university, pronounced the invoca tion, and Charles Gardner led the audience in singing of "The Battfo Hymn of the Republic." The Y. M. C. A. quartet sang two patriotic tiumbers, , capable of peace a peace based on justice. Unless we proclaim the futility, of democracy, -ve must proclaim ' the feasibility, the immediate pos sibility of lasting world peace by international agreement. Tha in ternational conference on limita tion of armament is charged" to find and proclaim that agreement. Be it therefore resolved, as the profound conviction of this public mass meeting, that the conference, assembled in Washington, remain in session- until it accomplishes to the fullest degree the. purpose for which it was invited to. convene; namely, the reduction to the low est possible minimum of all arma ment, and the bringing nearer of the day when "swords shall be beaten into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks, when nation shall no longer lift up sword against nation, nor learn war any more." - And be it further resclved, that these resolutions.be forwarded us a memorial to the president, the secretary of state and to each of the American delegates to the in ternational conference on limita tion of armament, and to the sec retary of the delegation represent ing each foreign nation invited to participate in the conference.

' His statement was regarded as voicing the sentiment of the overwhelming majority of the naval affairs committee. ..
