That one is Wyoming's senator, Francis E. Warren. Each Senator and Representa: tive was of course given one tnvita- tion to take part in the procession which, headed by the president, will proceed from the capitol to the mem- orial ampitheater at Arlington Na- tional cemetery on the morning of November 11. | senior Senator Warren's additional invi- tation came to him because he is a Medi! of Honor man. The retary of war inyited all holders of Medals of Honor to come to Wash- ington as guests of the nation to participate in the event. The gov- ernment is to pay ‘traveling and hotel expenses of thosé who come from a distance. Many have ac- cepted the invitations — not only world war veterans, but also sur- vivors of the civil war, indian wars and war with Spain—heroes all, as evidenced by the decoration) they are privileged to wear and by the special honor conferred on them in this occasion ‘by the war depart ment. ‘ Not many decades haye passed since it was notable that the ma- jority of members of the house and senate were veterans of some war i citizens in sympathy with law en-| casual tracks of hunters and trappers.
