Who shall say now what Is to be * the spirit of Armistice day? ^" n ir is to ° s “ on ,o sa y- The I World war is yet too close to us. The ”' • - World war is not yet over. It will not be over until the rawest of the world’s wounds are healed. Only time can tell what Is to be l ’ ie s i’ ir * t A rm istice day. Nv That Armistice day is to be a new i American national holiday seems certain. It will be neither a Washington’s birthday nor a Lincoln’s birthday—ln memory of the Father and of the Savior of the United States of America. It will not be a Memorial day—in memory of the heroic dead of our victorious wars. It will not be a Fourth of July—in memory of the winning of our Independence. It will not be a Thanksgiving day—devoted to the family reunion feast and thanksgiving to God for His mercies and gifts. And yet Armistice day should be in away a I combination of all of these American national holidays. I For when the World war ended In victory No i vember 11, 1918, America saved all that every good American commemorates In the observance I of these national holidays. Is Armistice day destined to be not only an in- ! tematlonal holiday but the one great holiday of all the world? If the Washington conference on the limitation j of armaments brings about disarmament —reasonable and effective disarmament —the whole world, victors and vanquished alike, may well celebrate Armistice day. If the Washington conference should make an- । other great war impossible and lead up to permanent, world wide peace, all the nations of earth will have to mark Armistice day as the one great day of all the military history of the world. An internationalism that does not destroy na- । tionalism has been the dream of the ages. A world at peace, to stay at peace. . . .! In this autumn of 1921, In which falls the third anniversary of Armistice day, “the outward and ■ visible sign of the inward and spiritual grace” ! which animates the American breast is tribute to the heroic soldier dead In the form of honors to the “Unknown Dead." The world will not soon forget the pomp and circumstance with which Great Britain on the second anniversary of Armistice day’ laid to rest “A British Warrior” In Westminster Abbey. The stagperinß Briton cried. Did the line hold? This tomb says “YES!” Nor will It seen be forgotten how France hon-

The desperate Frenchman cried. Did the boche pass at Verdun? This tomb says This year America atlirms her adherence to this spirit of Armistice day. The congress of the United States confers by special acts Congressional Medals of Honor upon the “British Warrior” ami “Un Soldat Francals.” America places these highest decorations within the gift of the American people upon the tomb in Westminster Abbey and upon the tomb beneath the Triumph Arch. President Harding sends Gen. John J. Pershing, the head of her army, to make the bestowal and he sends an American composite battalion of picked men as au escort worthy of the occasion. And Arlington, America's national cemetery where He historic dead, receives its “Unknown Yank.” “Let's go!" The eager Yankee cried. Did the Yank go? This tomb says “YES." The vision of this home-coming of this “Unknown Yank” will forever be cherished by the American people.

The morganatic marriage goes back to very early Germanic law, by which a perfect marriage was concluded only when thc» husband bought the “mundium” or marital authority over his wife, at first by I payment to the father or guardian, an<l later by a settlement upon the j wife. A further settlement upon the wife might be made in the form of a “morning gift. ’ In the ease of I

a marriage without mundium only the morning gift was made, hence the w^l “morgi natlc,” from “morgen ga be.” A large number of such marriages have bee i contracted, that of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria and trountess Chotek on July 1, 1900, being an example. Such marriages are r -cognized as fully binding, the chili Iren are legitimate and no other mart sage can take place during the lifetime of the contracting parties.

I phltheater by the President of the United States, heading an assemblage of the great of the world —“official and private citizens as he may select;” the funeral oration by the President; funeral services by army and navy chaplains; interment in front of the entrance of the amphitheater at a spot which overlooks the city of Washington, with the capitol and Washington's monument and the Uncoln memorial in the distance. The moving strains of the funeral march; the roll of the drums; the measured cadence of marching feet; the blowing of "Taps" by the buglers; the volley by the tiring squad. The Flag at half-mast throughout the nation. The American people hushed in two minutes o f silent prayer. This Spirit of Armistice day need alarm no lover of peace. In thus honoring their “Unknown Dead” America and Great Britain and France give form ami substance to their recognition of that democracy of service and sacrifice which is the foundation of society and the salvation of nations. “Unknown Dead" is merely a symbol. In place of “Unknown Dead” read "Man in the Ranks —the common man who offered his all, did his duty and gave his life for his country, unknown, unhonored and unsung. No citation contains his name. No decoration Is his. This is the man who won the war and it is in his honor that the “Unknown Dead” are interred with the pomp and circumstance of state display. And the message is quite as much to the living. This "Man of the Ranks" need never have reached the firing line. He need never have got Into the fighting ranks. Many a patriot who deserves well of his country was rejected by the recruiting officer. The patriot—man or woman—who gave his country the best he had shares in the honors of Armistice day to the "Unknown Dead.” I wish to express to you and to congress and the people of the United States the warm appreciation felt throughout this country at the tribute which you are paying to our unknown warrior The gift of your medal of honor to the British comrade in arms, whose tomb In Westminster Abbey stands for all our best endeavor ami hardest sacrifice in war. is a gesture of friendly sympathy and good will which we will not forget. On Armistice day representatives of the British empire in Washington will join you in the ceremony to be held to honor the splendid reco <1 of your own troops. I greatly wish on that occasion to confer upon your unknown warrior our highest decoration for valor —the Victoria Cross. I also send my heartfelt good wishes to the great international conference which opens by your initiative upon that day. M\ ministers will. I know, strive as wholeheartedly as yours to make the congress a sterling success. May they, in common with yours, do all that pnicfioU statesmanship can achieve to perpetuate the comradeship of war in the maintenance of peace. GEORGE V TO PRESIDENT HARDING.
