tr'butc to the memory of those who

" Ity will he held at the national military-cemetery
at Arlington, across the
Potomac from Washington wheresleep
, 22,000 of the nation's dead, federal offi
h cers and soldiers and Confederate of-
- ficers and soldiers side by side. -
Arlington is the greatest of the na
. tional cemeteries and perhaps the
most beautiful burial ground in all the
- country. Within its confines rest the
soldiers of many wars. Revolutionary
veterans and soldiers and sailors oi
the War of 1812 lie under the same
trees that shelter their descendants
killed in the great war between the
states and those who gave upHheir
lives in Cuba and the Philippines.
Soldiers who met death at the hands
of the Seminoles or Sioux sleep side
by side, and with them are the men
who fell in the war with Mexico. Sail
ors who served on the Constitution
and on the Maine are in port at Arl
ington. There are constantly being garnered
in the dead of the army and navy
who are still fighting the nation's bat
tles wherever the service calls. There
are legions of dead in Arlington and
the number Is constantly increasing,
but on memorial day not one of the
multitude will be forgotten.
To him who strolls casually through
Arlington and reads the names upon
the gravestones will be called up the
memories of the deeds of such men as
General .Phil Sheridan, Grant's chief
of cavalry, who rode that 20 miles to
Winchester. There will be soon the
tomb of Gen. John M. Schofield, com
mander of the army of the Tennessee
tn the civil war, and later commanding

general" of the army. Not far away
are thelast resting places of Crook,
Gresham; Gibtym, Wheeler , and Har?
ney. For seventy-one years Harney
was a .. commissioned officer of the
United States army a veteran of
the olrt s He fouKht
tin the Black Hawk and Seminole wars,
in Mexico and on the plains, and in tne
northern army in the civil war.
Amnn? th men of the naw are to
rbe found in Arlington names no less
honorable than among tnose oi me
army? There are to be found the
graves of Admiral David Dixon Por
ter, Admiral Winfield Scott Schley,
Admiral William T. Sampson and Ad
miral "Fighting Bob" Evans
,In the very foreground of the ceme
tery stands a tall, spiral monument
over the grave of General Joe Wheel
er, that dashing leader of Confederate
forces in the civil war who later In
the Spanish-American controversy
led the troops thr"-. bore . the flag
against which he had formerly fought.
In the midst of towering monuments
that indicate the greatness of those
that rest beneath them is to be found
the grave of General Henry W. Law
ton, the last of the men of his rank
to meet death in the field. General
Lawton was killed in the Philippines
in 1899, as he pursued the outlaw
Aguinaldo through the morasses of
that newly acquired possession.
Occupying a prominent place in the
cemetery is that most tragic ot. all
monuments, the tomb of the unknown:
Here lie the remains of more than
2,000 men who died on battlefields
in the civil war. Mostly they are of
that great body known as estray sol
diers; Aside from these are 4,000 other
graves in Arlington that mark the re
mains of soldiers or sailors wha were
never identified. A slab with the name
and company marks the grave of a
known soldier, while a square stone
with a number marks the unknown.
