A month later be was on an army transport that steamed through the Golden Gate into the broad Pacific. The next year he was one of a detachment which set out through the Philippine Jungle in pur suit of a party of Moro raiders. There was a deathlike hush as they pushed on through the steaming heat, of the Jungle. A moment later Its stillness was shattered by the sounds of men d com engaged In furious bat, bayonet against bolo, a swarm of little brown men clawing at a group of , swearing, desperately-strugglin- g khaki-cla- d figures and bearing them down to earth by sheer force of num bers.

But out in the province of Sulu a rusted and a webbed cartridge belt already nearly hidden by the lush jungle vegetation, marked the last resting place o. one who didn't come home an Unknown Soldier of November 11, 1922. In Arlington cemetery a great throng stood with bared heads as a bugler blew "Taps" over a new white marble tomb in which had been placed the body of a dead warrior.

That question of identity can never be answered. But of him this can be said: since that day seven years ago Memorial "day has had a new meaning. On this day his tomb is a shrine before which in spirit ail Americans bow reverent heads. For thus they honor not only the Un known Soldier of the World war but the Unknown Soldiers of all of our wars the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican war, the Civil war, war. We canthe Spanish-America- n not decorate their graves in accordance with the Memorial day custom, for their last resting places, unmarked, are scattered far and wide over the face of the globe. Some of them fell before Indian bullet and t lance on the plains of the Great West. Some of them died In China, in the Philippines, In Mex ico. Some of thera "went West" on the battlefields of France and Bel gium. So in alien soil they keep their lonely "bivouac of the dead" and while we cannot pay them the same honors on Memorial day that we do the others who gave their lives for their country, we can offer up to them our tribute of gratitude by remember ing on that day what they did even though we do not know who they were. wind-swep- Man's Uppermost Thought Whatever one may read into th name of patriotism, however variously the rltizens of a nation may love their land, with whatever admixture of criticism and doubt they yield their support, love of home and fellowship with one's own people remain the common lot Man cannot escape them If he would.
