At 3:30 e'clock this afternoon a large congregation will attend the Woodrow ‘Wilson memorial services in the chapel at which Right Rev. James E. Freemau, Blshop of Washington, will officiate. Prayer will be offered by Rev. Dr. James H. Taylor, pastor of thé Central Pres- byterian Church, which President Wil- son attended while he was in the White use. Mrs. Wilson and members of her family will occupy reserved seats at the funeral, and wreaths will be placed upon the tomb by representatives of the American Legion and other organiza- including the Woodrow Wilson on and the Woodrow Wilson Day Committee in Washing- ton, under whose auspices the service will be held. Mrs. Kate Trenholm Abrams is its chatrman. Following these services an evensong service will be held in Bethelehem Chapel at which Bishop Freemah like- wise will officiate. Both services will be broadcast over coast-to-coast networks of the Columbia and National systems. .+ Service at Capitol. ;Many veterans of the World War, with ir families, also attended the solemn high mass held at 12:30 o'clock in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, at which Rev. John J. Hurney, a war chaplain, officlated. This was a special service arranged in honor of Armistice da; iy Among the many exercises held dur- ing the day none drew more sympathy than those held under the auspices of the American War Mothers at the United States Capitol. At 10:30 o'clock, the United States service flag was run up the Capitol mast, while Admiral Robert E. Coontz, retired chief of naval operations, paid tribute to those who were in the service. A guard of honor composed of three men and three women representing the Army, Navy, Marine , Army Nurses, Marinettes and ‘Yeomanettes took part, and Mrs. M. C. O'Neill, a national officer of the Ameri- cah War Mothers, presided. At 11 o'clock an Army bugler sopnd- ed roll call, followed by two minutés of sllence. Then the sound of “Taps” brought the service to an end. UAdmiral Coontz, who is junior vice chairman of the Veterans of the For- elgn Wars of the United States placed an - enormous floral tribute on the ‘Tomb of the Unknown Soldier today in behalf of the Missouri department of the veterans' organization. ~Admiral Coontz is a native of Missouri. He also These wounded World War veterans from Walter Reed Hospital, incapacitated now for 12 years, were the first to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery today. Sergt. Francis L. Larkin, whose leg was shot away by a machine gun in the Hindenburg line attack at Guillemont Farm, was held up by buddies on either side as he laid the wreath. Sergt. Earl Swails, who had seen action at the Argonne and at St. Mihiel, leaned heavily on his own crutches as he tried to lend support. The wreath was of chrysanthemums grown at the hospital green house. Mrs. Mabel Shackelford of the Red Cross was in charge of the group, which incfuded Harley Watson, Joseph Hurley, H. D. Hancock, Sergt. John C. O'Connell, Ralph H. Carleton, F. N. Simmons, A.

'MARRIED MAN ADMITS MURDERING YOUNG GIRL Police Claim Confession of Attack. Victim's Head Wedged Bftween Trees After Choking. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, November 11.—Ralph James, 33, married and father of a child, has confessed, according to Wayne County deputies, that he killed Alice Coilier, 15, whose body was found three weeks ago with the head wedged be- tween two trees near Telegraph and Van Born roads in Wayne County. Officers sald the man, ‘'who is a laborer, said Alice passed his home on the night she disappeared and that he invited her to ride in his automobile. He sald she complied and he made advances, which the girl resisted.

No treaties outlawing war or defining aggression apply to the state of affairs in Germany where the X ople are be- ing to show signs = defiance of contracts entered into by their gov- ernment. New Proble:n Faces \‘Vnrlfi‘ The world is therefore faced with a new ' problem—how can people be re- conciled? How can civil dissension be prevented or diminished. The internal | problems of Germany have become the external problems for the rest of the world. Looking back over the last 12 macy of the allied powers has fallen short of its objectives and that.the.im- gamon of impossible burdens on the icks of the 'German people have brought matters to the breaking point. Governments can be defeated, na- tions can be disarmed, but they cannot be deprived of their spirit. Passive re- | sistanee which frustrated the march of the French into the Ruhr has been followed by another kind of passive re- sistance, revealed in the last German election—a willingness to follow leaders ‘who openly announce their intention of bring! about a repudiation of the Vi les treaty and reparations pay- ments, 8o the problem of peace has become euem*uy a task of reconciling the | friction that has grown out of the war itself.

World-Wide Viewpoint Stressed. ‘The ‘President emphasized the need on the part of America of a world- wide viewpoint. He preached a doc- trine of co-operation for the United States with a'significant reminder that the contribution of the United States ‘can best be made in these emergencies when nations fail to keep their under- takings of pacific settlement of dis- putes, by our good offices and helpful- | ness freed from any advance commit- ment or entanglement as to the char- lc(_fi: nrpour Mlcuuan e President’s philosophy is con- tained in this paragraph: “The purpose of our Government is to co-operate with others, to use our friendly offices, and, short of any im- plication of the use of force, to use every friendly effort and all' good will to maintain the peace of the world.” In effect, this means that the United States will not hold itself aloof jn the event of a world emergency, but will not commit itself in advance, yet will at the same time decide every question of its co-operation in the event of a violation of the Kellogg peace pact on | the circumstances as they arise.

Soldiers from the District of Columbia fell in as many different divisions as those from Connecticut, Maryland and Montana. Soldiers from the District of Columbia fell in battie. action in more different divisions than .those from Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Ver- mont, ‘Washington and Wyoming. The divisions in which District boys fell were 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 20th, 30th, 32d, 35th, 37th, 42d, 78th, 79th, 80th, 81st, 89th, 91st, 92d, 93d.

This is an heritage for the children of the District. It is an American heritage for the citizens of the District who come from every State. These soldiers fell on the fiéld of ac- tion in Belgium and the record of cap- turing 10,000 enemy prisoners and 300 cannon in part belongs to them. They fell in that drive through the center of the Hindenburg line. ‘The record of capturing over 100.000 enemy prisoners and over 1,000 cannon in part belongs -to the District of Co- lumbia. - ‘ ‘These men fell in seven of the eight American divisions that were a part of the fifty allied divisions that turned the tide of battle in the war and cap- tured 20,000 enemy prisoners and 400 cannon. They fell in the Vosge Mountains, on the field of St. Mihiel and in the Meuse-Argonne drives that cut the enemy main line of retreat and fcrced the armistice. ; Nowhere was patriotiym more ram- pant than in the District of Columbia, whose' sons were in almost every di- vision that went to France. We cannot remember the names of every one of the 535 soldiers from the District of Columbia who fell on the field of battle, but we can teach our | children to remember that the District of Columbia responded to the call of the Nation in the World War and that the valor of these men was worthy in every way of their noble mothers and fathers, STORE'S EPLOYES AID JOBLESS FUND Sears-Roebuck to Match’ Contributions of Workers, Who Will Give Day Monthly. The employes of Sears, Roebuck & | Co. in Washington will contribute to a fund for the unemployed, it was an- nounced today by W. F. Clark, manager of the store. “The fact that Sears, Roebuck & Co is going to equal, dollar for dollar, every contribution made by employes under this plan has caused much com- | ment and interest on the part of the | employes,” sald Mr. Clark. “In this | way we all. feel that no matter how small we may think our contributions we know that they will be doubled when they reach the hands of those who are | to use the money for relief of those un- | employed. One Day's Pay Monthly. “The plan as worked out, giving one day's pay out of each four weeks for the remainder of 1930 and for the first two periods of 1931, makes it very easy for the employe. A fund of money will be raised which otherwise would not be avallable for distribution here. Then, too, our employes feel that they want to get just as large a share as pos- sible from the money contributed by the national office employes in Chicago and_the company's cantribution. “The fund here will be added to from the national headquarters in the direct proportion that our contributions bear to the total contributions of the em- ployes of the country. We want to raise as much money as we can for Washington, so the employes have ‘joined up' in great numbers. Hopes Others Will Follow. “I am hopeful that after watching our plan work out, other companies elsewhere may decide to do something of this kind. It seems to me to be such a_real way to offer a chance for some of us to give to relief in this time of distress when, alone, we would feel that our contributions were not large enough to be of value. Of course, it may not be possible for every firm to equal its employes’ contributions, dollar for dol- lar, but at least the employes might club together, by donating a day's pay, and thus raie a sizable sum of money for relief.” Mr. Clark said that from advices re- ceived from Chicago it is possible that the total fund to be raised through the contribution of the employes and ¥he matching of that money by the com- pany will be in excess of $1,000,000. Every division of the company, he said, has received the suggestion with en- | thusiasm, and now merely the collect- ing of the money remains. .

BUFFALO, N. Y., November 11 (#).— Guard IFIRST SEA FLIGHT OF DO-X DESCRIBED Inventor Sees New World Commerce to Result—Trip Like That of Train. BY WADE WERNER, Correspéndent_for the Associated Press who ade the flight aboard the DO-X from Amsterdam to Calshot today on the second leg of the airplane’s flight to the United States. CALSHOT, England, November 11.— The “Flying Hotel DO-X" hoisted it- self by its own bootstraps off the Zuider Zee yesterday for a running jump across nearly 400 miles of North Sea and English Channel and set itself down here smoothly at the end of she second stretch 'of its transatlantic flight to New York. Fifteen men in her crew, 21 passen- gers, a black cat and Hans the canary shared the first sea-going trip this 50- ton giant has made since she flew to Amsterdam from Altenrhein, Switzer- land, where she -was hatched. Flight Is Epochal One. It was an epochal trip, from the time when the big ship ‘flirted the last of Holland's sea from its tail only to drop back on the water for a minute, while some minor engine repairs were made. Repairs made, the ship took off again for Calshot. Flying across the open water, the scenery at first inspiring, quickly got monotonous. There were miles of Eng- lish Channel to starboard and only a hazy outlile of continental coast to port. The passengers took to pacing the decks as though on an ordinary steamer. Up forward from where the corre- spondent sat, within a bird-seed’s throw from the cage of Hans, the canary, the American bar began to function early. The feature of life on the upper decks seemed to be a noise like a boiler fac- tory, and the interior of the * tre- mendous wings looked like the night- mare of a sky-scraper. steel worker. Crew Is Cosmopolitan. All in all this was an international venture. Among the passengers, three of whom were women, were eight Ger- mans, six Hollanders, three Americans, two Itallans, one English woman and one Jugoslay. In the crew were Ger- mans, Swiss and Americans, and DO-X itself built by Germans in Switzerland, burned American gasoline in American motors. The black cat belonged to Lady Grace Drummond-Hay. She tied it to a port- hole to prevent hostilities *with the canary and walked the deck with the rest of the ship's company. ; Up forward at the dual controls were Clarence “Dutch” Schildhauer, an American, who used to be a destroyer officer snipping U-boats in the Chan- nel, and Norst Merz, who piloted Ger- man seaplanes during the war, Floridian Is Engineer. In the midst of the deafening racket from the 12 engines was Harvey Brew- ton, the American engineer, who sent down word from time to time that his 12 water-cooled “babies” were humming sweet as a breakfast grapefruit. Brew- ton is a Florida boy. His aide, Joe Gody, who comes from Mount Vernon, N. Y., 'spent a lot of time, by and large, asking him whether he had forgotten the red flannel underwear he had said he was going to buy in Amsterdam. But the big ship roared along with less vibration than a railroad train, From the cabin portholes the outboard engines on either side looked like twin silver locomotives racing along the a block away from the cabin wind>ws, but the ship's company soon got ac- customed to their roar. Builder of Plane Restless. While the Belgian coast was passing ventor and builder of this big plane, seemed to be restless. He strolled u tand down the ‘150-foot passenger deck for a while and he chuckled at th" snthusiasm the spacious quarters evoked “Oh, it's all right for a starter,” he | said. “But give us five or six years and we'll have these ships so they'll really mean something to world com- merce.” Along about the halfway mark there arose an interesting question of ethics. | Newspaper correspondents aboard were | getting sleepy, but the prospect of tak- |ing & nap created a nice distinction: Would they be sleeping on the job, or would it be just taking an hour off for lunch? They compromise and took a nap. The Coast o’ England rose out of the haze ahead and the ship circled over Southhampton. The passengers could see the crowds waiting for their first glis of the biggest seaplane in the world and soon the DO-X bounced down to a perfect landing in the har- bor at Calshot. Leaves Thursday for Bordeaux. ‘The crowd poured toward the fi boat, officials of the air ministry an the German embassy in the lead. Dr. Dornier shook hands with all of them, the crew jerked on their leather coats and began crooning to their engines. Already they were looking forward to the next hop to Havre, whence the DO-X heads for Lisbon, then out across the ocean for the Azores and the United States. ‘The DO-X, will be visited tomorrow by fany British notables and possi- | bly the Prince of Wales. It probably | will leave Thursday for Bordeaux in | continuation of the cruise which has New York as its ultimate objective.

EDITQR'S NOTE. This Armistice day story is written b Kirke Bimpson, Associated Press stal writer, “The BY KIRKE SIMPSON. Armistice day, 19301 Twelve years ago today official word came tapping over thousands of miles of waiting wires that the World War was ended—the armistice signed. Three hours later, at 11 o'clock am., Paris time—6 o'clock for a vast asmy of sleepy war workers in Washington—the last gun roared cn the western front. The carnage had ended; the post-war chaos begun. One moment, as that fateful message came in over wires held idle for hours to receive it, the Nation was girded for war. Virtually in the next instant all was changed—as if a control lever in some titanic engine had been set over. The Nfl' n was in reverse from its war effort. Book in Itself. Nowhere is the American story of that 24 hours of the first Armistice day told moré graphically, more succinctly than in the ciated Press wires that day. It takes more than 100 pages of closely written newspaper “flimsy” to tell it—pages now drowsing, untouched for years, amid files of the Washington office. There must be nearly 20,000 words of that day’s “story” a book in itself. oy, of Washington_— et it could only mention briefly happenings of utmost | importance to the whole Nation.

Pershing’s Communique. The last regular news story of No- vember 10 out of Washington was “cleared” at 1:15 a.m., November 11. It was a battle communique from Gen.
