The scene at the Centaph was a
memorable one. King George, his
sons, his high admirals, generals, and
statesmen, and those most representa-
tive of his subjects—all were there,
together with those of the general
public who could squeeze into the lim-
ited space of the immediate viclnty.
Around this “hollow tomb’’, as the
Cenotaph is aptly ndmed because of
the fact that it contains no mortal
remains, were drawn up in a hollow
square representative detachments of
the Royal Navy, the Army, the Royal
Air Force, the Mercantile Marine, and
veteran's associations. Flanking the
whole were battalions of stalwart
Guardsmen, in their crimson tuning,
black bearskins, and whitened accou-
trements.

S. P. Gardener At Work In
Beautifying Grounds Of Depot
WORST SINCE 1879 Bothers Florida Shooters
Col. Hanford MacNider, aviator and
assistant secretary of war, made this
statement during a recent visit to
Cleveland. He is in charge of re.
serve corps and national guard work
and has made an extensive trip in
order to inspect national guard
units in all parts of the country..
Once more we pause with head bowed in reverent
prayer as the hour comes that comemmorates the
close of the most titanic struggle in history, when a
world of hate and strife gave way to the new peace.
And as we bend our heads in solemn prayer, and in
silent tribute to those millions who lie in the fields of
France, we lend our hearts to the hope that their struggle
will not have been in vain, that out of the funeral pyre
of old misunderstandings and prejudices, the phoenix
of brotherhood and understanding may soar.
In the far flung corners of this great dominion of these
United States, in every city, village and hamlet, the ser-
vice of those who sacrificed all, will be remembered
for a brief space of time. There will be notes of martial
music, and the tread of marching soldiers in the larger
cities, a* Buddies, adorned in newly pressed uniforms,
keep step “down the avenue,” to the plaudits/ of the
throngs that watch. And some will limp, and some will
ride in cars. And there will be still others who, lying
on their beds of pain in government hospitals and in-
stitution*, will read about it all—and wonder.
Wonder if the world has really been made “safe for
democracy”—when “man to man, the world o’er, will
brother* be for a’ that,”—when man will learn the great
spiritual message of the Great Peace Maker who said,
“These things I command ye, that ye love one another.”
Today we honor them who fought in the belief that
they were bringing peace to the world. We can by word
and deed give our heart and our intelligence in support
of their effort to bring peace into the world by keeping
the world at peace.
