At the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, nearly every quarter-hour of the day was given to some pilgrimage to the shrine that is the symbol of the Nation’s sacrifice to war.

American Approval of Pact Despite Critics Asked by Envoy. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, November 12—With refreshened memory of the horrors of the World War, which ended a decade Ambassador to France, today appealed for a permanent peace based upon the outlawry ot war and_imparted to this Nation the duty of leadership in de- claring for such a_principle. Before an Armistice day gathering in rick discussed the trend of world events the problem of establishing world peace as one of the foremost that has arisen in that period.. . He pointed with hope to the Briand- Kellogg vpact for outlawing war and called upon the United States to ap- prove it, notwithstanding any criticism that might be directed against the multi- lateral treaty by those who believe that treaties can be enforced only when backed up by instruments of war. Pays Tribute to Doughboys. With fitting tribute to the valor dis- played by American doughboys during the war, Ambassador Herrick pictured the position into which this Nation came as one of natural leadership—a premier place among the nations of the world. “The United States has not come into wealth and power through any other country’s humiliation; its wealth is not built upon any other’s impoverishment.” said the speaker, “This record, which gives us a deep sense of satisfaction and pride, is our priceless heritage. “Because of this heritage and because of the part we bore in the war, I sub- mit, we have, as a Nation,” a_special equipment and qualification for be- coming an essential factor in the out- lawing of war at the precise time when the public opinion of the world is aroused to a pitch where it demands it and will support it.

Lg Seven war welfare organizations nited in a tribute at the tomb at 11 ©o'clock. They were the Jewish Welfare ard, the Salvation Army, the War Camp Community Service, American ibrary Association, Y.

The services at the Cathedral yes- .gerday afterngon were impressive. The ‘choir procession, with John Thomas aylor, chairman of the American |L(‘giun legislative committee, and Na- jonal Comdr. McNutt, halted before he tomb of Wilson and a wreath of lilies was placed on the tomb by Boy Scouts Allen Robinson, 1760 Euclid street, and Hallock Snell, 1731 H street. The prayer was offered by Rev. James (M. Taylor of Central Presbyterian Church, of which President Wilson was 1 A member. Before the tomb were the \*American flag and the flag of George MWashington Post, No. 1, American plegion, of which Mr. Wilson was a Pgmember. i In his informal sermon before the ,iemh Bishop Freeman said: { i Tribute to Wilson. ! “Woodrow Wilson played a large part in silencing the guns and furling the ags of war to usher in Armistice day, 918, a new day of peace for a battle- [torn world. After the armistice he gave Whimself unstintingly to the great issue 'of world peace, a cause in which he |Jever slackened or spared himself and for which he died. He conquered hysical incapacity in his labors for orld peace and it became a ruling pas- ion with him. “His last statement to the world re- jninded us that ‘our civilization can- ot survive materially unless it is re- ‘deemed spiritually,’ and thus he re- uked the call of things material which i®ppears to be a mighty obsession of the 1 jhuman soul nowadays. £ “The wild quest for aggrandizement, | gncreasing power and wealth which has fcharacterized the 10 years since the JArmistice reflects little credit upon this Jgepublic, but the call of Wilson to spiritual vision has not been forgotten. ear by r his vision becomes more and more justified and mankind still ;hnpos for its fullfillment and for the "coming of that new day when men shall ‘beat their swords into plowshares and Wwar shall be no more.” { Chapel Is Filled.

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 12.—British pub- lic opinion of the Armistice day speech of President Coolidge was today an ex- pression of general satisfaction. The news agencies carried almost identical statements, and these were well summed up by Reuters, Ltd., in these words; “We have learned on inquiry in well informed British quarters t Mr. Coolidge’s address is regarded as satis- factory in showing recognition of the essential differences in the deep prob- lems which face the United States and Europe. He is very clear in his recog- nition of this and of the right of every- body to every one's self-defense. U. S. Co-operation Seen. “The President’s remarks, too, are considered very satisfactory as showing the desire of the United States to co- operate in this world problem, while ¢ izing at the same time that the roblem presents itself in _different forms to different countries. The same consideration applies to his reference to the increasing fipancial stability of Eu- rope, and undoubtedly there will be found pleasant reading in his reference to the hope that further progress will be made at the next meeting of the League's Preparatory Commission on Disarmament. “This latter point will be particularly gratifying to all friends of the League and to those who for years have worked on that body to further the cause of disarmament.” Comments by Press. The Dally Telegraph said today in regard to President Coolidge’s Armistice day speech: “1f, as Burke once said, you cannot indict a nation, it is all the more un- wise to indict a continent. President Coolidge’s contrast between a proper= ous, united America arfi Europe with heavy burdens and conflicting interests may not have suggested any incongruity to his hearers, but from the British standpoint it is far from helpful.” Discussing the British position on disarmament, the paper said: “President Coolidge has once again shown what can only be regarded as a complete misapprehension of the British posi- tion.” It held that 40 of the 68 cruisers mentioned by Mr. Coolidge were ob- solescent if not obsolete.

America’s program for capital ships, the paper continued, “will give her a definite superiority in large craft which she already sses in destroyers, submarines, aircraft and naval per- somnel.” ‘The paper warned that “until these committee, who led the Armistice day ‘pilgrimage to the White House Armi- stice day, following the election in 1920, xomposed of Joseph P.

Indeed, President Coolidge seems so much con- cerned about the recent attempt of the British and French governments to devise a new formula for reduction of cruiser strength that he has almost given up hope of success.” The Morning Post said that it un- derstood and sympathized with Presi- dent Coolidge’s desire for a big Navy ago.

All records for traffic through the Panama Canal and revenue collected were broken during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928. The increased use of the canal brought forth the statement from M. L. Walker, governor of the Panama !Canal, "in his annual report made | public’ yesterday, that the “growth of | traffic_has brought to the front con- | siderations of the possibility of its ex- I ceeding the, capacity of the canal, with the corollaty of considering ways by | which the capacity may be increased.” | Average 19 Ships Daily. A total of 6.959 vessels, an average of 19 a‘day, passed through the canal, he per cent of its present capacity, and carrying cargo tonnage of 29,630,709, of which American vessels carried 14,248 - 735. United States, Panama and Co- lombia government vessels numbering 503 also passed through the canal | without paying tolls. The combined net revenue for the operation of the canal and the Panama Railroad and loading facilities amounted to $20,621,314, as compared with $18,131,819 in 1927, at that time a record. The first move to increase the canal's facilities, he added, is to de- velop a supplementary water supply by the construction.of additional storage at Alhajuela. “It is believed this, with the eventual construction of a third flight of locks paralleling the present twin flights, will increase the present capacity of the canal by about 70 per cent,” he continued. Against Toll Reduction. Indicating that he is not in favor of reducing the tolls either on all traffic or special classes of vessels, Gov. Walk- er pointed out that this was to be de- termined by Congress, but that “heavy expenditures are yet due to be made for additions and replacements in the plant, for the adequate quartering of employes, for suitable retirement for employes * * * : that tolls at Panama are lower by approximately one-third than the tolls at Suez; that reductions will beneflt foreign vessels in foreign trade as well as United States vessels in domestic trade; that the intercoastal lines are competing severely with the railroads, and a lowering of the tolls may cripple the Goverriment’s revenue, with offsetting benefits accruing only to limited special interests.” Gov. Walker estimated the cost of the Alhajuel storage project would amount to $12,000,000 and it should be completed within five years. The re- serve water is needed to increase the depth of water in the canal during the dry seasons. ‘The report pointed out that in ad- dition to the commercial phases of the canal operations, governmental admin- istration is conducted over schools, san- itation, medical and hospital service, police and fire protection, customs serv- ice, quarantine and immigration, and recreation for the 8,000 civilian Ameri- cans, 9,000 Americans in military serv- ice and 20,000 aliens. —_— U.

PARIS, November 12 (#).—The Armi- stice day speeches by President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg are destined to give the world a better understanding of the guiding principles of American policies, says an editorial in Le Temps togay. ‘The paper, which usually is credited with expressing the views of the French foreign office, devoted its entire editorial space to the Armistice day utterances of the American offi- cials, Le Temps unreservedly approved Sec- retary Kellogg's remarks concerning the peace pact, adding: “The United States’ desire for peace was clearly defined in Secretary Kel- logg's words. Moreover, nobody ever doubted its existence.” President Coolidge’s statement that the United States enjoyed no material benefits from the war was openly ques- tioned, “Although we always appre- ciated the great value of American in- tervention in the conflict, we prefer not to discuss President Coolidge's view- point concerning profits,” said the edi- torial.

KELLOGG: SEES GAIN FOR WORLD PEACE People in All Nations Backing Treaty Renouncing War, He Declares. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 12.—Advocat- ing the settlement of international dis- putes by arbitration, Secretary Kellogg declared last night that universal peace can be attained if the people of the world come to the belief “that there shall be no war.” ‘The machinery of | arbitration for the maintenance of peace, the Secre- tary of State added, “cannot function effectively unless there is back of it a popular will for peace.” Secretary Kellogg spoke before the ‘World Alliance for International Friendship at the Metropolitan Opera House in connection with the observ- ance & the tenth anniversary of the signing of the World War armistice November 11, 1918. Referring to the recent negotiation by 58 nations of the Kellogg-Briand treaty for the renunciation of war, Mr. Kellogg said that “no more fitting time could be chosen for this peace movement than the tenth anniversary of the signing of the armistice which brought to a close the greatest war, the most appalling catastrophe of all the ages.” Way to Abolish War. “The best way to abolish war as a means of settling international dis- putes,” Secretary Kellogg continued, “is to extend the fleld of arbitration to cover all judicial questions, to negotiate treaties applying the principles of con- ciliation to all questions which do not come within the scope of arbitration, and to pledge all the nations of the world to condemn recourse to war, re- nounce it as an instrument of interna- tional policy, and declare themselves in favor of the settlement of all con- troversies by jpacific means. Thus may the illegality of war be established in the world as a principle of interna- tional law.” Other means of abolishing war, he said, which can be taken by govern- mental authorities and by private or- ganizations throughout the world in- clude the inculcation into the minds of the people of “a peaceful attitude, teaching them war is not only a bar- barous means of settling disputes, but one which has brought upon the world m:e greatest affliction, suffering and dis- aster.” Secretary Kellogs. “If the people are minded that there shall be no war, there will not be,” Mr. Kellogg asserted. History of Negotiations. The Secretary recounted the recent negotiation by the Washington Gov- ernment of numerous arbitration and conciliation treaties with foreign gov- ernments and said that similar progress in the principle was being made by other natlons. “It is evident,” he con- tinued, “that there is a great forward movement all over the world and a growth of an enlightened sentiment for @he Foening St {| scerety i* * * —Wide World Photo. the settlement of international con-| troversies by means other than the arbitrament of war. I might mention in this connection the Locarno treaties and the many others negotiated in Eu- rope as well as in Central and South America. Probably no part of the world has made such progress in arbi- tration as Central and South America, and certainly there is no part of the world where the sentiment for peace is stronger_ and conseguently where there is less danger of the outbreak of war. “Arbitration and concillation are aj pealing more and more to the imagi- nation of the peoples of all nations. I deem this movement of surpassing im- portance in the advance of world peace, ‘When all nations come to the conclusion that their disputes can best be settled by diplomatic means and when these fail, by arbitration or commissions or conciliation, the world will have made a great step forward. ‘World' Opinion as Factor. “I realize that treaties of arbitration and conciliation have existed for many vears and that in spite of them there occurred the greatest war of all history. But this should not be a cause of dis- couragement, because today world sen- timent is stronger for such means of settling international disputes than ever before. “I realize also that there are many political questions which cannot be ar- bitrated, although they may be settled by conciliation. I know that national jealousies and ambitions and racial ani- mosities often are the causes of war. ‘These causes of conflict can be elimi- nated through education, through the development of tolerance and through the creation of an effective desire for ace.” Deseribing the inception and negotia- tion of the Kellogg-Briand treaty, Sec- retary Kellogg said the American Gov- ernment believed the treaty might be- come “a part of international law and the foundation stone for a temple of everlasting peace.” Full Publicity for Pact, The anti-war treaty was negotiat- ed “in the blazing light of full pub- licity,” Secretary Kellogg said in ex- pressing doubt “if su¢h a treaty could have been negotiated between the min- isters af, the difl_er:ncd gahvemmenu An . nd the reason for this'i4 that the treaty is the g{pxeuon of theé hope of millions of -people: in the world today.” “It .came from the visualized expres- sion d¢f the desolated battlefields, from ruined, homes and broken - men - and stil the great beating heart. of hu- manlty. Is there any wonder that there should be in’this modern and enlight- ened age a world-wide protest against the horrors of war? We are but 10 years remcved from the greatest calam- ity of all time. No one can portray the desolation, death or misery and sorrow inflicted by that last conflict. As we.look over the ages on the gradual growth and advancement of our civil- ization, is there any wonder that the people are now demanding some guar- antee for peace?"” Stating that in the negotiation of the anti-war treat he had the hearty co- operation of the statesmen of other countries, President Coolidge and of statesmen of all parties and publicists throughout the country, Mr. Kellogg said the treaty “was mnot a political move.” He added that he could say without doubt that the treaty “meets the matured judgment of the people of the United States.” Expects Full Approval. “It is my bellef,” he continued, “that all the nations of the world will adhere to this treaty and make it one of the principles of their national policy. I believe that this is the first time in history when any treaty has received the approval of so many nations of the world.” Secretary Kellogg sald that there were no collateral reservations or ADVERTISENENT Rivcs o] f Receivep HERE | tional amendments made to the treaty as finally agreed upon. During the nego- tiations the question was raised as to whether this treaty prevented a coun- try from defending itself in the event of attack, he said. “It seemed to me in- comprehensible that any nation should believe that a country could be de- prived of its legitimate right of self- defense,” he added. The Secretary said that he did not agree with the claims that the anti- war treaty was weak because it lacks provisions for enforcing it. He declared he did not believe that the United States or many other nations would willingly submit to-any tribunal to de- cide the question of whether a nation had violfted the treaty or irrevocably pledge themselves to military or other action to enforce it. Alliances Held Futile. “My personal opinion,” he sald, “is that Zu&c alliances have been futile in the past and will be in the future: that the carrying out of this treaty must rest on the solemn pledges and the honor of nations: that if by this treaty all the n: tions solemnly pronounce against w as an insutution for settling interna- disputes, the world will have taken a forward step, created a public opinion, marshaled the great moral force of the world for its observance and entered into a sacred obligation which will make it far more difficult to plunze the world into another great conflict.. In any event it is not at all practical for the United States to enter such an ob- ligation.” . Parent-Teacher Head Chosen. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. BADEN, Md., November 12.—J.
