This was the official story sent out by the Associated Press on one of the greatest days within the memory of those living today. America's mil lions, reading and hearing the news, went wild In spontaneous celebrations of which the participants had never «een the like. America and the world were glad.

Eight years are not enough to deterndne n tra dition. The war Is yet too close to us, and only time can tell what la to be the spirit of this day. But already we look forward to It as an American national holiday. In this autumn of 1020, In which fulls the eighth anniversary of Armistice day, the outward and visible sign of the Inward and spiritual grace which ani mates the American breast Is tribute to the heroic soldier dead In the form of honors to the Unknown Soldier. The world will not soon forget the solemn ceremony with which Great Britain on the second anniversary of Armistice day laid to rest "A British Warrior" In Westminster abbey. Nor will It soon forget how France honored her hérolc dead by making Arc de Triomphe the burial place of "Un Soldat Francois'' from Verdun. Here under the central opening of this great structure lies a simple slab. At the head Is a single flume burning night and day. There Is no fence of iron to inclose It nor Is it watched over by guards. Visit It any day of the year and you will find It flanked by modest bouquets of flowers placed there by those who well know the toll of war. And at Arlington, America's nation al cemetery where lie historic dead, lies also our "Un k n ow n Soldier." The vision of the homecoming of this "Unknown Tank" will for long be cherished by our people. What do we remember? The lection of America's unknown soldier son at Chalons, the bestowal of the Victoria Cross at the decoration of the i-eglon of Honor, the Journey to Le Havre under escort of an honor guard, the French memorial observ ance at the seaport.
