Some of the nation’s most famous generals and admirals are now buried there, but the cemetery is open to the burial of of- ficers and enlisted men alike of the armed services—Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guaré, and to nurses of the Army and Navy. All who die in active service or who have honorable discharges are eligible, and there is no charge for burial plots within the | cemetery. The number of graves in Arlington has been more than doubled in the last 20 years, and burials now average about four a day. No funerals are held there on Sunday or | holidays. Many fine monuments mz rk the ceme- tery, the most notable of which is the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a beautiful struc- ture of Colorado marble in rectangular form, 8 feet wide, 13 feet 11 inches long. and 8 feet 3 inches high. The body buried | there is that of an unidentified soldier se- lected in France under circumstances w hich make it impossible that his name will ever be known. On one side of the tomb are two female figures, and Peace, and a male figure representing Valour.
