His declara- tion, uttered on the eve of the gteat conference that meets tomor row, carried aignificance. ‘Then, with tander tribute, he swung into the climax of his oration, “As we return this poor clay to ita mother soll, garlanded by love and covered with the decorations that only nations can bestow, I can sense the prayers of our peo- plo, of all peoples, that this Armis- tice day shall mark the beginning of @ new and lasting era of peace on earth, good will among men.” Bending reverently over the casket, the president, with the vast audience joining softly, offered up the Lord's prayer as he closed his addrens. P “I speak not as. p.cifist fearing war, but as one who loves justice and hates war,” Harding declared in voicing his resolution that civil ization must make a supreme ef- fort to end war for all time “Let as give our influence and strength, yoa, of our aspirations and convictions, to put mankind on & higher plane, exulting and exalt- ing, with war'y distressing and de Pressing tragedies barred from the stage of rightéous civilization,” he pleaded, With vivid strokes, Harding) painted the spectacular rain of death ha witnessed during a mod ern battle demonstration at Camp Benning, Georgia, recently when the earth trembled as big guns sent shells shrieking over his head and| tracer bullets flew past in deadly concentration. “As this panorama of unutter- able destruction visualized the hor-| rors of modern conflict, there grew on me the nense of failure of civil ization which can leave ft» prob- lems to such cruel arbitrament,” he continued. Passages of melting tenderness for the unknown dead that moved! many in the audience to tears were| woven into President Harding's at-| tack on the God of War. “We gather him to the nation’s! breast,” he said simply, “within the shadow of the pital, of the towering shaft that honorg Wash ington, the great father and of the exquisite monument of Lincoln, the martyred savior, Here the in- spirations of yesterday and the conscience of today forever unite to make the republic worthy of his death for flag and country.” New camera, making three expo posures at once, is used in making maps from midair.
