WASHINGTON. Nov. 10,(AIM Written on bronze
on great table's under the shadow of a tall stone
shaft, the roll of honor of the First Division. Am
erican Expeditionary Forres, with Its more than 5.000
names of those who died in Prance, forms a fitting
pedestal for the time-defying tribute to their gallantry
raised by living comrades.
The memorial, majestic In its .simplicity, springs
from a wide stone base just over the road from th*'
gray old hulk of the State, War and Navy building.
It is set on a broad lawn that rolls away in an ever
green carpet to the smooth-flowing Potomac, just
beyond. All about stands clusters of trees that
break the monotonv of the great sweep of green
sward, and ov r these, to gi^-t the new comrade
and share in telling unborn generations of Ameri
can valor and glory, peer the skv-pointing mass of
Washington Monument and the distant. stately
grandeur of Lincoln Memorial.
Far away, beyond the river, framed among th?
•rowding greens and first autumnal tones that deck
the Virginia hills, stands the Memorial Ampltheater
at. Arlington Cemetery. It is there, sleeping in
lonely glory on tlie wide terra' that, the Unknown
Comrade keeps his endless watch. ft may be that
his name is written among those thousands clus
tering on the great tablets of the First Division
dead. None will ever know; for it is his greatest
glory that he sleeps unknown.
Tt is no spirit of mourning that has prompted
the veterans of the First Division to pay this honor
to their dead. There is no hint of sorrow in the
fashioning of a soldier tribute to fallen comrades.
Tt is raised in calm acceptance of that code which
bids free Americans hold their lives not too great ;<
price to pay that their countrymen down the years
may live always as free and liherty-loviug sons of
mere a grapmc portrayal or mat eoae is me
pose of the winged fignre of victory that tops the
slender granite shaft of the memorial. It stands
with the bronze-wrought folds of the Flag for
which these gallant dead fell, swept aloft in the
lifted right hand. It is poised as though to step
forward again in a moment, forward toward the
great vision of high destiny that shines before the
lifted, exalted gaze And as it pauses, here above
the fallen, the left hand is spread downward in
proud benediction as though the winged figure
would say to those whose names are scrolled be
low "Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
Inset in the square stone work at the base of
'he shaft itself are the names of French villages
and rivers that are now enshrined among the
proudest memories of Americans. They form the
simple record of the battle grounds over which the
First Division fought its way; on which fell the
'i,58ti men whose names are graven below on the
tablets. Sommerviller. Ansauville, Oantignv,
Montididier-Noyon. Soissons-Ai.sne Marne, St. Mi

the written symbol of the great victory.
Over on another face of the atone work runs the
legend of the First Division Association setting out
that the memorial is to those comrades "who gave
their lives in the World War that liberty and the
ideals of our country might endure.” And on
still another taken from General Order N'o. 201.

Division had fought its way into history at Can

General Pershing’s proud words of approval:
“The Coramander-in-i;hief has noted in this Div
ision a special pride of service and a high state of
morals never broken by hardship nor battle.”
In form the memorial is a simple column that
lifts the honor point of the Flag nearly 80 feet
above the ground level. It is of light-colored
granite surmounted by a square stone proportioned
to the column below, and which forms the pedestal
for the heroic victory figure, lielmeted and with
flowing, graceful draperies that with the lifted
wings, give it a hint of life and motion that sweeps
away any suggestion of sorrow.
The figure is the work of Daniel Chester French.
It is of bronze and is perched on a great bronze
ball to set it off. Newly set on its high place, it
is now bright in golden coloring, but soon time will
soften its tones even as time can but add new lus
ter to the glory of the men whose names are rank
ed on the tablets below, names like those of Hen
derson. Enright and Hay. Men of the First Div
ision, and first American soldiers to die in battle
in France.

HENRY CABOT LODGE, STATESMAN
LOBES FIGHT FOR LIFE
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Nov. 14, (AP)—Henry Cabot'
Lodge passed away at the Charleston Hospital on|
Sunday night after suffering a stroke on November
u. only gaining conciousness for a short while be
fore his death.
Henry Cabot Lodge had served continuously in
the United States Senate since 1893, as Republican
leader since August, 1918, and was one of the most
P^on'r^nt members of his party for a generation.
Stat scian, publicist, author, lawyer and histor
ian, Mr. Lodge’s manifold activities made a wide im
pression on contemporaneous events. Chief prom
inence. perhaps, came to him as leader of the Sen
ate opposition to the League of Nations and the
Treaty of Versailles during 1918, 1919 and 1920.
As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee and republican floor leader, he led the con
test with former President Wilson in the fight against;
ratification. He was the author of the “Lodge res-i
ervations” and was credited with a largo part in
molding the policy of the Harding administration
against American entrance into the League.
He was born in leisure, but always worked. A
principle laid down by him in early life was: “The
first thing for a man of leisure to do. if he really
wishes to count in his day and generation, is to
avoid being an amateur.” Although he appnrantly
had no intention of practicing law. he worked hard
and won a degree in that branch at Harvard, and
then worked on a thesis on Anglo-Saxon land laws,
which won his PJi. D In the three years that fol
owed he was lecturer at Harvard on American His
tory, and at the age of 30 was recognized as an |
authoritative historian. Among the score of books
he wrote were biographies of Washington. Hamilton
ud Webster.
It was this theory that every man should give
of his leisure, more or less, to politics; for it is
simply good citizenship for him to do so,” and along
with his historical reseaehes he became interested in
contemporary politics. His public career began with
election to the Massachusetts House of Represent
tte was unsuccessful in his first attempt to go
to Washington as a national legislator. In 1882
he was a candidate for the Republican nomination
for Congressman and the contest was so close that
l.ih ballots were required to decide the nomination
of his opponent by the Congressional convention.
In 1S86. however, he was nominated and elected to
the national House of Representatives, where he
served six years before his election to the Senate.
His oratory was distinguished by his practice of
sketching in an historical background and his facil
ity in quoting apt historical incidents. In an inter
view in 1922 summing up his career he said: “I
have nothing to say about my opponents, for I have
never made personal or abusive attacks on anyone
opposed to me. It has always seemed to me that
a man in public life stood more strongly if he stood
on his own merits rather than on some one else's
defects. I think I may say that I have done a great
deal of responsible and difficult public work. On
that public work and on that record I am content
to stand."
Mr. Lodge, from the outset of his career* was an
enthusiastic republican and an intense partisan. He
was honored often by his party. An ambition to
he chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. on which he served for many years, was real
ized when the Republicans regained control of the
Senate in 1919. He then also was chosen majority
leader, having served the Republican minoriiy prev
iously as floor leader.
Twice Senator Lodge was temporary and perma
nent chairman of the republican national conventions
at Philadelphia in 1900 and at Chicago in 1920.
Former President Roosevelt, a life-long friend, urged
Mr. Lodge’s nomination for the republican presi
dential candidacy in 1916 when Mr. Roosevelt de
clined the Progressive party’s nomination. As the
chairman of the 1920 convention Senator Lodge
was prominent in conferences which led to Presi
dent Harding's nomination.
Senator Lodge made his home in a picturesque
mansion on the cliffs of Nahant jutting out into
Massachusetts Ray. His wife died in 1915 and the
Senator is survived by one of two sons. John E.
Lodge a Boston Lawyer and a daughter, Mrs. Augus
tus P. Gardner, widow of the late Congressman Gard
ner of Massacnusetta.
POWDER CHARGES START
AIRPLANES ON FLIGHT
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29, (AP)—The motive force
of explosives may supplant that of compressed air
in catapulting airplanes from the decks of naval ves
els as a result of recent tests at the Anacostia. D.
C. air station.
In the new catapult a pistol shot ignites a powder
charge which literally “blows” the carriage on which
the plane rests to the rail at the rate of 60 miles
an hour The car is stopped abruptly by hydraulic
bumpers, but the plane continues on its way.
Space occupied by air compressors is saved in the
improved type and loss of time, formerly devoted
to recharging the tanks for each flight, is averted.

Chewing Gum Aids Digestion

Things are so tempting, and so palatable! Why not

I during the process of eating is far from enjoyable dur
ing the process of digestion!
Then it is that chewiiffe gum comes to the rescue.
Dr. W. A. Evans, former commissioner of health in
Chicago, says in his book, “How to Keep Well”:
“To chew gum after a meal a»«i* digestion. Most
. people do not chew their food long enough to mix
\ saliva with it thoroughly. The chewing of gum adds
j some saliva to the stomach contents. It is of more
| service in stimulating the stomach muscle. It ta espe
cially serviceable in helping the stomach to empty its
I contents. If one has overeaten and the stomach is
1 heavy something is gained by chewing gum for half an
hour, beginning two hours after eating/* And it also
helps to keep the teeth clean.
I Chicle, the base of chewing gum, is the xzrilky juice
which is secreted by the inner oark of a tropical tree
Known as tne Acnras aapoia.
Only during the rainy season are the trees “bled.”
After being refined and sterilized, the chicle is mixed with sugar and
flavoring and moulded into the familiar form which haa become so
popular.
