Splangled Banner” thoughts turned/ back three years to November 11,) 1918, when a frenzied nation shouted itself hoarse in unrestrained cele- bration of the signing of the Armis-; tice. Many a soldier standing in: formation recalled_a scene, perhaps, in a trench, in the, battle-scarred; ground of the Argonne or. perhaps in| gay Paris, when he, too, was told the: ; {nal tribute. ‘Mr. Secretary of War and Ladies and Gentlemen: We are met today to pay the imper- The with his imperishable soul.

CROWDS GATHER EARLY ‘Long before the rising sun broke through a bank of cloud long columns of soldiers, sailors, and marines, today began making their way to the capitol plaza, there to re- ceive into their keeping America’s unknown soldier and to accompany to his final resting place at Arlington. The day promised to be clear and sharply cold, an almost exact duplica- tion of the first Armistice day three years ago. There was scarcely a breath of wind stirring and the half- masted flags about the capital hung virtually stationary. Historical Pennsylvania avenue today to see a new tribute to the na- tion’s dead was roped off and all traffic stopped as during an inaugur- al parade. Before sunrise spectators began to line the sides of the avenue. There: was a stir about the, White | 1 the hurried appraisal of life and the} contemplation of death’s great mys-; tery. On the threshold of eternity many a soldier.

FARGO TURNS THE LIGHTS ON Fargo, N. D., Nov. 11.-—-Lightless nights vanished as suddenly as they appeared in Fargo. Last evening the ¢ ,; the total darknes: residence districts were thrown with- out warning last Saturday evening. All the lights in the residence dis- ; tricts were turned on again last ev- ening after being turned off for five consecutive nights. This resulted from the meeting Wednesday evening in the Commer- cial club rooms. Between 200 and 300 representative citizens gathered there and adopted resolutions con- demning the lack of lights in the residence districts and the reduction of the police and fire departments. y emerged from into which the QUICK ACTION SAVED A LIFE Minot, N. D.. Nov. 11—Quick action of men with whom he was working saved the life of Joe Havalena. Ho was at the top of a pole attaching a guy wire, when the loose end of the wire touched an electric feed wire carrying 1300 volts. Workmen in the power house turned off the power within 15 seconds and while Havalena was badly burned he will recover. His safety belt kept him from falling when the current was closed. As each door of the rotunda swung open there entered the first flood of sunshine to lighten the bronze figure sent by the President of China to rest on the base. The mountain of flow- ers stacked high against the wall and and on a circle on stands closer in remained: “undisturbed during the night. Trucks were waiting to transfer them to Arlington ahead of the pro- ; cession but by another route. SENATORS JOIN IN As the band outside played ‘Near- er My God to Thee” the coffin was lifted on the shoulders of the body bearers and taken through the east door to the caisson a few. moments before 8 o’clock. The honorary pall- bearers followed. There was no cere- mony in the rotunda. As the body was removed the soldier guard of honor that had stood about the bier since the night before last was re- moved. The flower-strewn casket was borne tenderly down the broad steps of the capitol, soldiers standing in line along the steps and the as- semblage of thousands on the plaza stood at attention. Flags of the color bearers were grouped while those on the capitol were half masted. “At 8:15 o’clock President Harding left the White House and motored toward the capitol to take his place in the funeral procession. He arrived there at 8:27 o'clock. Meanwhile the senate met and ad- journed, going on the rotunda. to fall in line.
