The Olympia is due to dock at the navy yard at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Shortly after 3 o'clock she will pass in view of the thousands expected to gather in Potomac Park to pay silent homage to the last home-coming of one who gave his all for his country. The transfer of the remains from the Navy to the Army will be in full ceremony and witnessed by Secretary of the Navy Denby, Secretary of War Weeks, Gen. Pershing and other high officials of the fighting branches of the government. Ship's Band to Play Dirge. As the casket leaves the ship the guns of the Olympia will boom out the twenty-one-gun salute. The ship's band will play a dirge as it is carried down the gangway, with soldiers and sailors at present arms and officers at salute. Received bv the War Department, represent-d by Brig. Gen. Harry H. Bandholiz, commanding general of the district of Washington, the casket will be transported on' a motor hearse to the' eust front of the Cap. itol. “The procession will be headed by a squadron of cavalry and a mounted band from Fort Myer.

Mountain of Flowers. There ‘will be & mountain of bright flowers in the rotunda of the Capitol before the day is done, and all that survive will go later to. Arlington to wither upon the stone above the quiet mook in which the unknown will go to his eternal rest. Despite the disagreeable weather with which the day for the home-com- ing of the unknown was ushered in, there was early indication that Wash- ingtonians would line the waterfront approaches this afternoon to honor the “unknown soldier” on board the Olympia. The District Commissioners expect- cd to go down the river in the police boat to salute the cruiser before she swings from the main channel into the Anacostia branch leading to the navy yard. Scores of motor boats will Meat the old war vessel below Alex- andria and escort her to port. Over- head she will have an escort of hydroplanes. To accommodate persons desiring to go to Hains point, at the lawer end of Potomac Park, to witness the ar- rival of the Olympia, the East Po- tomac Park bus line, it was announced this morning, will operate a special service from the Treasury building. Busses will leave every half hour. on tne hour and half hour. The Washington Railway and Elec- tric Company will operate an i creased number of street cars on the Anacostia line, which passes in sight ©of the navy yard. Ship Ahead of Schedule. Ahead of her schedule, the Olympia Jay off Indian Head this morning, pre- pared to lift anchor at an hour which would give her plenty of time in which to dock at the,navy yard by 4 o'clock. As she steams slowly up the river the guns of Fort Washington will roar the national salute of twen- ty-one guns to her half-masted flag. Oft Mount Vernon the ship of the unknown hero will pay its homage to the tomb of the greatest American, | ‘Washington. Again at Washington | barracks a battery will hammer out | its twenty-one-gun message of high est military honor, to be repeate agailn at the navy vard as the ship | ends her long journey from France. ‘When she turned into the Potomac yesterday the Olympia received the first highest naval honors for the un- known soldier she carried. The bat- tleship North Dakota, lying up the river, dipped her ensign in salutation as her guns tolled welcome.

His request has been granted by the War De- partment. Mr. Wilson has been assigned a place directly back of Chief Justice Taft of the United States Supreme Court. FIVE-GENT CARFARE POSSIBILITY UNDER NEW MERGER PLAN Commissioner Oyster Defers Announcing Details of Idea Until They Are Complete. A five-cent sgreet car fare by- next| March may b€ possible under a new merger plan being worked out by Ccmmissioner Oyster. This was intimated by the Commis- sioner today, but he said he would not be able for several days to divulge the detalls of the new proposal on which he hopes the two companies can be brought together. Capt. Oyster said that when he be- 8an consideration of the proposed so- lution, he anticipated it would make possible at least a six-cent fare. As the plan has taken on more definite shape, however, it now appears that a reduction to 5 cents may be brought about. Intimated Two Weeks Ago. First intimation that Commissioner Oyster was working on a new for- mula for untangling the street-car puzzle came two weeks ago, when it was announced that he would con- fer with Representative Focht, chair- man of the House District committee, on the railway situation. The contention has been made re- peatedly that any consolidation ofl the Washington Railway and Elec-| tric and the Capits Traction com- | would-Tenuiré the sanctlon of Congress.” In view of that contention it is vpr‘.‘s\nned- that Commissioner Oyster's plan would require the pas- sage of an cnabling act.

Yesterd Net Circulation, 87,982 D —— BRITISH NAVY ARNS POLICY EXPLAINED Armament Reduction Put in Two Periods—One Now Being Entered. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. The British plan for naval dis- armament, not only in the present conference, but gradually extending and increasing in the future, is based on the principle that each nation will inevitably keep the force It considers ! necessary to’its national defense, in accordance with the position which {1t occuples in the world.. A coni- |dential memorandum prepared re- cently for the league of nations by British naval experts foresees that s ‘when, under . the of this or e other in- fonal organizatiop; @moh natisn will be ablé_to count upon the others in_case of unprovoked aggression. | But this, it is sald, presupposes | that ali nations become members of ! the league, and that complete con- | fidence prevail between them. Dis- | armament must, therefore, be divided into two periods: One, later, when a1l states are members of the leaguc, 2nd when & spirit of confidence pre- valls; the other, that upon which we are now entering. Naval Rivalry Suicidal. The last great armament rivalry, the n:emornn%um points out, was pro- vaked by Germany, a nation Whith did not really need a large fleet for | Qefense. “We are again in a period of peace, and it ought to be evident one that to Trenew naval y would be suicidal folly.” The b for limitation of armaments at the Washington conference, it is | declared, should be the status Qquo, leading to further gradual and auto- matic reductions, as confidence in- creases. The first agreement reached should aim at stopping new conatruc. n_ num X tion for a glve er of years 3 is not absolute, utl.:enzlh that each nation desires, in order to maintain its safety. If no s attempt in future to change o ton. Ehere Is 1o reason Why the absolute force maintained by each nation should not gradually diminish.” JAs for states havi he later period, when all ‘s become members of the th must then be based ‘o things, national safety an PR tional obligations.

Considering now the later period of mutual confidence, it is argued that the prinicpal and most fraquent arm to be emploged by the league of nations would be naval force, in the form of the boycott and the blockade, these being quicker, easler and more humanifarian than any manifesta- tions of military force. As the league no force of its own, it must 5'.’.','"?3'3,, its members to contribute, fng Quota necessary.

CRAIG BACKED UP | STER CABINET Premier’s “Firm Attitude” on Irish Issues Approved Unan- imously by Leaders. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 9.—The Ulster cabinet representatives here unani- mously approved today “the firm atti- tude” which Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, has maintained in the interest of Ulster in his conferences with Prime Minister Lloyd George over the question of an Irish settle- ment.

On receiving this word at their mceting, the Ulster cabinet members adjourned until 11 o'clock Thursday morning, when Mr. Lloyd George hopes to have thd statement ready.

All the parties to the negotiations engaged in_informal parleys vester- day. Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, saw Mr. Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary Curzon and also sought out influential parliamentary leaders.in an endeavor to gain their support for the Ulster viewpoint.

BY DAVID LAWRENC \Copyright. 1921, by The Eveping Stai.) Thoughts of the armament confer- ' ence were momentarily interrupted in the tional Capital to canvass the meaning of thé various elections. Most of the contests were local. but the general trend of democr: cess has not only pleased the minor- ity hereabouts, but given the majorit party cause for slight uneasiness about the congressional campaign which will develop within the next fpw months. : It is always difficuit to analyze elec- tion results in isolated sections. The republican leaders professed to see little significance in what occurred Tuesday. The democrats were over- joyed, pointing out that the republi- can claim of great gains in Virgi had failed to materialize and; that democratic mayors had been e¢lected {:}rhthse first time in many years in Seanen repuoitohn’ stonpUdial Fhe fact that New York city re-elected its democratic mayor by an overwhelm- ing majority prompted the democrats here to point out that the tide which | swept New York city for Harding had started in an opposite direction. i ew Jersey Election Significant. Nationally speaking, the gains made by the “wets” on the prohibition issue did not pass unnoticed here, where Congress is getting ready to act upon ' the anti-beer bill. The New Jersey democrats who have apparently been swept into power in the legislature | after a most humiliating ‘defeat last year has an importance, however, be- vond the wet question, for a United States senator ig to be elected there next November. Pres'dent Harding has sensed the perils of the New Jersey political situation and has right along tried to do all he could u; help Mr. Freylinghuysen's prestige there. The fact that close contests between | the republican and democratic parties are indicated in two such populous states as New York and New Jersey is impressing observers here. It means that Congress within the next | be more closely watched than heretofore and that the action taken on the tax and tariff questions will have much to do with the political complexion of the next Congress. the New York legislature may make things difficult for Senator Calder, republican. next year. Recalls Wilson's Loss of Power. From an international viewpolnt, a change in the political character of Congress next year would be of tran- sceldent importance, for it was In the middle of Mr. Wilson's second term that he lost control of the Senate. The consensus of opinion today seems to be that the elections this week will have a decided effect upon Heretofore, with such a large majority, there has been littie worry about the political future. The disposition has been to assume that many republican seats could still be lost and control retained. Until the elections of this week such an as- | sumption was generally accepted by democrats as quite likely. They did not dream of overturning the repub- lican hold_on Congress, but the re- the elections have spurred them on and brought out confident predictions that the complexion of Congress will change next year.
