"The terms of the armistice will

This was the official story sent out

A
spirit of Armistice day? 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.
