PRESIDENT PUCES WREATH OK GRAVE OF UNKNOWN KERO Siinpfe Ceremony Marks Sac red Event at Arlington Cemetery. WEALTH OF FLOWERS BLOSSOMED ON MOUND Utter Simplicity in Order in Honoring Unknown in Great Contrast of This Event of Just One Year A£o. Washington, Nov. 11.—On the main granite block in Arlington cemetery that a year ago became a new shrine to American ideals, there blossomed today a wealth of flow ers laid reverently there to com memorate the first anniversary 'of the home-coming of American’s unknown soldier from France. Again the nation sealed the covenant of American fa'th it the n pledged be side the grave now covered* by the massive boulder. And the utter simplicity of the scenes today, contrasted against mem ories of Pomp and splendor of a year ago i n the same beauty of set ting, served to add n e w glory to that which is idealized in the blood of this humble soldier shed in France, the high purposes that i s Americanism. Again President Harding made the pilgrimage from Washington in be half of all his countrymen. But this time the message he bore wa s no spoken word, but a simple wreath to rest on the great stone. The guns that roared the national salute in honor to the dead alone broke the stillness to voice a nation’s pride. For the army, Secretary Weeks ac companied the president, and- for the navy, Secretary I)enby. None but the routine restrictions of the quiet cemetery wer e in force to day. As on every day in the year, the public was free to come and go among the tlead, resting there and about the memorial amphi-theater, o n the terrace in front of which stands the tomb of the unknown. Any who cared to make the journey of remem brance could share with the President or with the war mothers or with any others honors pa : d to the dead. But America’s share in Armistice Day events was not confined to those at home. The dead in France were not -forgotten, nor was there lack of American fellowship at the great ceremonial in Brussels, where, the Belgian unknown, perhaps among the first to fall i n the great war, was entombed amid scenes such as those that witnessed the honor Great Brit ain and France and Italy and Amer ica did their hero dead. As formally expressing the com radeship of th e American govern ment in tribute to the 'Belgian un known, President Harding has ap proved the following citation which will be bestowed with congressional medal of honor, the highest American recognition of valor, by Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, commanding Ameri can forces in Germany and especially ordered to Brussels ,for the purpose. At the eight American cemeteries i n France, Belgium and England there remai n the bodies of 30,363 soldiers, sailors and marines who gave their lives during the war. At each of these, from the Meuse-Argonne, Aisne-Mame, Suvesnes, St. Mihiel, the Somme, Oise-Aisne in France, in Flandei’ s Field in Belgium and at Brookwood in England, appropriate services were held throughout the day with American diplomatic or military and naval officials paying tribute. At home in the national cemeteries in Now York and San Francisco and at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., where many war dead from France are buried, there also were public expres sions during the day, but to the 39,- 672 brought home for burial i n pri vate cemeteries the nation’s grati tude was expressed by President Har ding at Arlington.
