Through the hours that followed the distant, dull note of sorrow sounded in measured interval, growing cloger and ‘closer, louder and louder as ‘the cortege wound its way up to Arfington. The knell of the guns, majiked the-way, of the funeral train step by step and culminated in the three crashing salvos that signaled the last soldier ‘farewe sledge Distant Boom From §:30 A. M. until far past noon, the ‘distant booming wrote the story of the minutes with but one halt, as the nation stood silent for two min- utes just after midday in honor of the ‘dead. Up in the rotunda of the capitol resting on the catafalque where Lin- coln, ‘Garfield, Grant and McKinley} laid, the casket had stood amid heap- ing piles of flowers ‘with its silent guard ‘of honor, a soldier, a national guardsman, a sailor and a_ marine, through the night at the four corners of the bier. Then there began to gather a little group of fellow sol- diers, each wearing a’ hero’s decora- tion, to bear the casket to the wait- ing’gun carriage.” They were led by. Sergeant Samuel Woodfill, first men- tioned’ in Pershing's list of war her-| oes, and ‘with him were Sergeants Harty. Taylor of the cavajry, Thomas D. Saunders of the engineers, Louis Razga of’ the’ Coast Artillery, James W. Dell, of the Field guns and for the| navy, Chief Torpedo Man James De- laney and Chief Water Tender Charles Lee O'Connor and Sergeant Ernest A Janson ofthe’ marines. “Honorary Pall Bearers. In the great rotunda’ the honorary pall bearers also’ gathered to walk beside the gun ‘carriage up Pennsyl- vania avenue. At their head was Major General Harbord, executive as- sistant to General Pershing as chief) of staff; himself a former enlistet| man and glad to walk beside his hon- ored comrade rather than ride at the} head of the pageatit with Pershing. With him were other major generals| whose names bring memories: of the war. There was Morton, Edwards cf New England’s 26th Division; there was: Shanks’ who ruled at Hoboken while thé army was~ going “over there,”-there was Menoher,: who led the. 42nd> to victory; and Bailey, O'Ryan of New York’s 27th and Rick-| ard# ‘of Pen: i Mae For the navy walked aya iman, rear admiral and commander of the battle fleet that went over; Henry B.

Outside the escort stood in mo- tionless ranks, rifles. at present, sabers flashing in salute. Flags draped and with a few flow- ers scattered over it, the casket was lifted te the black draped gun’ car- riage with its six gleaming horses and it artillery drivers rigid in the ‘saddles. A’ motion from “Major Gen- cort, and a swing in the khaki column and the road to Arlington lay ahead. The commander and ‘his staff rode first, then the army ‘band swung out, playing in quick time for it was a pdsite’ regiment of foot troops, the regulars, the sailors and marines and and the cavalry and then the casket, riding high on its gun carriage in its last journey. Row ef High Officers, At the head of the celumn rode Pershing and his officers and just be- fore the gun carriage came the clergy, led by Bishop Brent, former chief of every faith about him to partici- ate''in the religious exercise at Ar- lington. ‘i Behind the’ casket and the row of high officers which flanked the gun limber on either side'as it would down the hill to Pennsytvania avenue, walk- ed President Harding with his aide, Colonel Sherfll, then came Vice Pres- ident Coolidge, then Chief Justice Taft, next the members ofthe supreme court, walking in line, next the cah- inet, also’ in line then eight abreasi, the senators and members cf the house. A roll of muffled drums marked the next division in which were frst the Medal of Honor men. Then came comrades of the American Legion, rank on rank, then bowed veterans of other wars and a “host of others marching to pay their honors to the dead. Pies ‘ 3 Out into the wide avenue the col- umn’ moved and on over the road where the tramping hosts of Grant’s victorious’ legions marked out’ a course long ago; where presidents have ridden their way into history or back ‘into ‘private life; where Per- shing’s crusaders of the First Division, led by their chief, wound up' their great adventures a few short months before. Memories of great days of the past were ‘awakened as the pageant wung along. Who knows but that the ‘unknown dead in France were there too? President Harding Joins Parade, Past the treasury and on the line swung ahead, ‘to ‘halt ohly when the casket had passed the White House. There President Harding and the cab- itiet and thée“membersg of the supreme coutt. and senate “ani house turned aside to go later by automobile. to the amphitheater at Arlington. The stop was brief as they left the lines, then the cortege moved ‘on up the avenue, on through old Gecrgetown, where | Washington once had his office ag.a surveyor and mapped out great un- dertakings, onto the old bridge that spans the Potomac dnd opens the way to the Mjlitary Road leading up to the post of Fort Meyer and’ Arlington National cemetery on the ‘high ridge above.
