After the dvll war had been fought
and won, the • soldiers of the Army of
the Potomac and of Sherman’s array,
to the number of more than 200,000,
marched In a grand review through
the streets of Washington. This crown
ing ceremony of the war, reviewed by j
President Johnson and by Grant and
Sherman and other generals, was the
supreme pageant of all time to tlie
soldiers and the people w^ho had
fought in or supported the war for the
Union. It was an American pageant
pure and simple; it was viewed by the
representatives of foreign nations but
curiously, and with respect for the
sorely proved and now triumphant
power of the American republic. For

^To Those in Fiance |
This is the memorial to the Ameri
cans who died in the World war,
erected in New Orleans by the Ameri
can Legion posts of that city. Opposite
tlie memorial inscription at the base
of the shaft is the first verse of “In
J'landers Fields,” and a bed of pop-
jfiies surrounds the monument. At the
top. where the world-surmounting
e«ffle of the marines is shown, are
afso, on the other sides, the emblems
<of the anuy, navy and air service. The
lantern effect is to carry out tlie idea
of the dead holding on high the torch
of patriotism.

It Is a couiiuon weakness of hu
manity to ask tlio questions that can
never he auswerod in this life. Prob
ably none to wluv.n the drama of the
Unknown Soldier has appealed has
not wondered who, in the sunshine of
earth, was the protagonist of the
uroat oeroniony.
reiiobsoot? An orchardist from the
i’acific coast? A well driller from
Texas? A machinist from Connecti
cut? A lad who left his hoe to r\Lst
among the Missouri corn? A long-
sliorenian from Hell's Kitchen? Per
haps some youth from his own Vir
ginia. All tfiat the army tells us of
him is that he died in battle. All that
the heart tells is that some woman
loved him. More than that no man
shall learn. In tliis mystery, as in
the riddle of the universe, the wise
wonder but they v.ould not know.
At his bier gathered the most re
markable group that America has
seen. And the tomb which Fate re-
serveti for him is. instead of the nar

lasting as that of Rameses and as in

that isn’t equivalent to saying that if
the movies were abolished we would

Their flying banners are the winds that
blow;
Their martial music is the song of night;
for laurel garlands there are wreaths of
stars;
The gleaming moon upon its westering
flight
Pours out its golden flood across the fields
Where hosts Illustrious, waiting, lie at
rest;
Where crosses standing in long, whitened
rows
Cast shadows of the cross on Calvary's

On ruddy fields they gave their lives in

As He who bore the cross, the crown

Now, silently they stand within God’s

Redeemed and through their sturdy faith

SWEET PEA
THE GAME OF LIFE
greater achievements
The story is told about a young *
man in college. He was asked one
day by his professor, “What is your
object in life?” “To finish my edu
cation,” was the prompt reply.
Choose a profession and go into busi- :
ness. What then? I am going to
marry and settle down. What then?
I am going to grow rich, famous and
independent. What then?I am going
to retire and take life easy. What
then? Well I suppose in time I
will have to die like others. What
then? The young man turned pale,
the firm lips quivered, the keen eye
was dimmed with tears. What was
the trouble? That was a fine run.
Was that not what is termed suc
cess?
It reminds us of what we have
seen on the base ball diamond. Here
is the batter up. He strikes the ball
a tremendous blows and lands it
way out in the field where there was
no one to catch it. He goes around
the diamond like lightening, first
second, third. He slides onto the
home base just before the ball reach
es the catcher only to hear the um
pire call runner out. There he lays
panting, perspiring look the umpire
says that he failed to touch that base.
How disappointing—Good strike
fast run but it did not count.
What was the trouble with our
young college man? He too made
a good start, fine run but he failed
to touch first base and his run did
not count a score.
Young friends, what shall it profit
a man if his name shall go down in
history as the greatest financier that

In Memory of Southern Women.
Tlie Confederate memorial at Ar
lington is especially in memory of the
women of the South and it symbolizes
ihe deep reverence which the people
of the South feel for those who at
home during the long struggle bore
so heavy a burden of sorrow and suf
fering and sacrifice. It embodies an
inspiring sentiment which appeals to
he national feeling regardless of the
ict that the shaft is the product of
le enterprise of the Confederate
iterans. \
