R CE TWO CENTS OFFICIAL OBSERVANCE OF tenoton e ARMISTICE DAY TOBE SIMPLE Without Ceremony, in Behalf of the American People, Pres- ident Harding Will Place a Wreath on the Tomb in Arl- ington Cemetery of the Unknown Soldier—Friends Are to Visit the House of Woodrow Wilson, the War Presi- dent—In New York Two at11A. M. Washington, Nov. 10.—Simplicity will chracterizse the official observance to- mefrow of the anniversary of Armistice day—the day which President Harding in ® message to the American people tonight declared marked “the victorious culmin- ation of our nation’s most impressive par- tieipation in the affairs of the world.” Simple In contrast with the ceremonies of a year ago in which the representa- tives of the rulers and-potentates of fhe world's most powerful nations joined, doing honor to America’s dead as typl fled In the unknown soldier, a little group will leave the White House early tomor- row to lay a wreath symbolizing the na- tion's Armistice day tribute on the tomb of that Unknown Hero in Arlington Na- tional cemetery. It will include the pres- ident and the secretaries of war and nav and the pilgrimage these three will make is expected to establish a precedent to be followed through the vears, Also simple but more informal will be another event that will mark the day— the visit of a group of friends and ad- mirers to the home in § street of Wood- row Wilson the nation's war president. This will be in accord with a custom established last year when several thous- and after paying tribute to the Unknown Soldier, went to the Wilson home and whowed the esteem in which they hoid the former president. Last year they recetved a simple little greeting and they Hope for the same tomorrow. Observance of the day elsewhere through the nation wiil be varied but in the esinion of the president as voiced in his message should make for appraisal of the nation's zelationship to world af- fairs. “The increasing enthusiasm with which sur people join in the annual observance of Armistice day,” the president said, “enforces the conclusion that it is des- tined to be one of the notable anniversa- ries In our calendar, and, indeed, it well deserves to be all of that, for it marks the victorious culmination of our nation’s most impressive participation in the af- fairs of the world. We shall not go amiss it we seek to make our observance of this spniversars, not only this vear, but ery “year hereafter, an occasion for sppraisal of our relationship to and par- ticipation in those wider concerns which involve the weltare of all mankind. I think we have come to realize, as a nation, that we cannot hope to avoid sbligations and responsibilities, often arduows and burdensome as part of the price we must pay for our fortunate rela- tlonship to the confraternity of the na- tiem. “That we may be guided to a just judgment of the time and oceasion for further proof of our interest in the com- mon cause of humanity, and in ehoosing | the methods whereby to discharge the ob- ligation thus created, will be, I am sure, & fitting prayer for this Armistice anni- versary." , The visit of the president to Arling- ton will be his first official act of the day. Attended by his military aides and ac- sompanied by the two secretaries, both attended by their aides, the president will leave the White House soon after 9 o'- slock and traversing the route over which the funeral procession of the Un- tnown Soldier passed a year ago will sroceed to the national cemetery. A cav- Alry escort will meet the party near the Minutes of Silence Will Begin cemetery and as it passes Fort Mver, nearby, it will be accorded the presi- dential salute of 21 guns. Reaching the amphitheatre in Arling- ton onmly the president and the two sec- retaries will pass beyond an enclosure about the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Without ceremony the president will ad- vance beyond the two secretaries and stepping up to the tomb lay the wreath upon it in behalf of the American people. The entire party will then withdraw. concluding the official tribute to the na- tion's dead. » Many organizations and individuals. however. are expected to make a visit to the tomb a part of their observance of the day. Returning from Arlington Mr. Harding will attend the funeral services in St. Patrick’s .church for J. Antonio Lopez Gutierrez, Honduran minister to the Unit- ed States, who died last week. Either after the visit to Artington or after the funeral the president will be the target of a demonstration by membels of the joint ammesty committee who have an- nounced that they considered Armistice day the proper time to enter a vigorous protest against the contimmed imprison- ment of violators of the war laws. The visit of citizens to the home of former President Wilson has been plan- nea for the afternoon. Henry Morgenthau, American ambassa- dor to Turkey under Mr. Wilson then will give a brief address to which the former president is expected to repir = TO MAINTAIN TWO-MINUTE SILENCE AEMISTICE DAY New York, Nov. 10.—Armistice day to- morrow will be observed on a world-wide scale by two minutes of silence béginning at 1 lo'clock, Percy S. Bullen, chairman of the international committee of the League of Remembrance announced to- day. In compliance With arrangements sug- gesied by the league, Mr. Bullen said, many nations have agreed to observe the two minutes of silence. In America, sald Mr. Bullen, various large business hotses have agreed to sus- pend for the two minute period. Several state governors have endorsedthe idea while scores of churches will also carry out the observance. New York city's celebration will be featured by an-address by General Per- shing before the National Civic Federa- ‘tion’s conference on international - prob- | lems, SUGGESTS ONE MINUTE'S SILENCE ON ABMISTICE DAY Indianapolis, ~Nov. 10.—Nation-wide addition of a tribute of one minute's si- lence on Armistice day to-the memory of the heroes of the World war was urged today by Dr. -Kate Waller Bar- rett, natlonal president of the American Legion auxiliary in her first message since her election, “If every man, woman and child in America could be made to stand mo- tionless, hand on heart for one moment at some set hour, like 12 o'clock noon, on each November 11, what a soul awakening _experience it - would be,” President Barrett said. LONDON HAS NO NEWS FROM CONSTANTINOPLE London, Nov. 10 (By the A. P.).—Tele- graphic communication between London and Constantinople continues interrupted. The only news that is coming in is reach- ing London slowly and through devious routes. Despatches dated Wednesday, received by the foreign and war offices today by naval wireless, indicated that the allied commissioners then still were awaiting a definite reply from the Angora govern- ment to their demand that the Turks recede from their attitude, which the a- llies regard as out of accord with the Mudros and Mudania conventions. The despatches showed that the allied repre- ventatives also had lodged a strong pro- est with Rafet Pasha, the nationalist zovernor, against the cxecution of Ali Kemal Bey, editor of Sabah, an anti- nationalist organ. That the situation continues strained is shown by the fact that the Earl of Derby, meretary for war, was compelled to can- %l & political engagement he had in the north tonight. He explained that things were in such rhape as to make his pres- snce at the war office absolutely impera- \ive. Pourpariers are continuing between the alljes regarding the date for the Leaunne sonference on Near Eastern affairs. Al- though no date has yet been set for the tathering, which originally was fixed for next week. it is still believed here that a postponement will be taken until'Nov. 20. PMICKETING FOR RELEASE OF MIS8 MARY MACSWINE New York, Nov. 10.—The British tonsulate in Whitehall street was pick- wed today by 25 women carrying ban- sers protesting against the imprison- ment in Dublin of Mary MacSwiney, sister of the lord mayor of Cork, who dled while on hunger strike~in Brixton prison. ‘The pickets, members of the Amerl- #an Association for Recognition of the Ipish Republic, said they would walk post until Miss MacSwiney was re- eased. Miss MacSwiney was arrested by Free State troops last Saturday in one 6t a series of raids on the homes of re- publican adherents.

Nov. 10.—The eighteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, and with it the Volstead aet, has been voted into the law of Cali- fornia by a present majority of 27,533, aécording to returns from 5,835 precincts out of 6,681 compiled today by The As- dooiated Press. 7 Ever notice that if a little woman i4 married to a big man she is boss if a big woman is married to a le man she & Dboss, too ? 8he was taken tol. BOTH PAETIES FIGURING ON ALIGNMENT OF NEW HOUSE ‘Washington, Nov. 10.—By down the republican majority in the house, democrats in the next conmgress will obtain large representation on all of the big committees by which the most important legislation js framed. Leaders of both parties began figuring today on the new alignment, As it now stands the ways and means committee, which reported the revenue, tariff and. bonus bills, consists of 25 members—17 republicans. and- 8 demo- crats. As the lineup is determined by the size of the house majority, demo- crats, it was stafed, will insist upon a division of 14 to 11. Retirement of Chairman Fordney means that Repre- sentative Green, Iowa, ranking repub- lican, will become chairman under the seniority rule system. Because of the large number of sub- committees, which prepaPe the supply bills, the appropriations committee, cen- sisting .of 23 republicans and 12 demo- crafs, is expected to stand at about that ratio. But all committees now com- posed of 15 republicans and six demo- crats, probably will go on a 12 to 9 footing. The rules committee, all pow- erful’ of itself, generally stands § to 4, regardless of majority. Defeat of Chairman Volstead of the judiciary - committee, will- make Repre- sentative Graham, Pennsylvania, chair- man. ' All bills relating to prohibition are considered by the judiciary commit- tee. Mr, Graham was among the few members who refused to-vote one way or the other when the Volstead measure was put up for passage some years ago. Representative Griest, Pennsylvania, stands in’line for chairman of the post- office committee in place of Chairman Steenerson, defeated. Only . two DT committee chairmen were defeated— Volstead and Steenerson—and both come ' from Minnesota. Under the seniority system, Repra- sentative Snell, New York, will be head of the rules committee, succeeding Chairman Campbell, defeated ' in the Kansas primary. cutting MORE HARMONY WITH THE REP.

Plymouth, Mass., Nov. 10.—The body o Mrs. Mary Smith Lockwood. jast to survive of the group of women wha founded the Daughters of the American Revolution, was forwarded to her home in Washington for burial today. Mrs. Lockwood died here yesterday. . s Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, “Littie Mother to the Daughters of the Ame: can Revolution,” was the last surv of the little group of 18 women patriots who organized the.body more than 5t vears ago; and despite her nearly full century of years, she was ome of most active members of the organiza- tion almost up to the time of her last filness. Not only was Mrs. Lockwood identi- fied with the founding and the progress of the D. A, R. but she was an active figure in the Women's republican organ- izatign, and also a noted author. Her chronicles of Washington history, espec- jally diplomatic and political, have placed her well up on the rolls of writ- ers.

According to a statement attributed by the Daily Mail to a high official at Scotland Yard, Sir William Horwood was poisoned by chocolates sent sent by post. The official is guoted as saying it was the second attempt to poison the chief by mailed chocolates, the first box being delivered at Scotland Yard a fortnight ago. It was addressed to Sir William and opened by an assistant commissioner, who suspicious because of the packet's anonymity and the stale appearance of the chocolates it con- tained, handed it over to the detective department to trace its origin. Inquiries apparently were without result and Sir Wililam - seemingly was not informed. On Thursday, the Daily Mail quotes the official as saying, -another anony- mons box of chocolates arrived. The chief’s secretary, Miss Drysdale, opened it and handed it to Sir William who took it to his room and ate one or two of the chocolates while dressing for tne club iuncheon, Miss Drysdale hal taken one, but disliking the taste threw it away. One of the hospital physicians told the Ddily Mail that the nature of the poison had been established but he re- fused to name it. He said the doctors were not without hope that Sir William would recover. he LLOYD GEORGE NOW ELECTIONEERING FOE SON London, Nov. 10.—(By the 'A. P.)— Speaking in support of his sons candida- ture for the house of commons, former Prime Minister Lioyd George told an au- dience at Haverford west today that Great Britain faced the same danger which destroyed Russia. This menace, he said, was attacking the very life blood of the nation and un- less it was resisted at the start the whole fabric of the commerce and finance of the country would crumple, and the nation would go down to ruin. “Britain the might” would become “a poor thing, crawling along with its world suprem- acy gone.” i The revolutionary proposals came not from the trade unionists, but from that band of theorists calling themselves in- tellectuals and arrogating superiority to themselves. The sooner the labor organ- izations got rid of these men, the better for labor and trade umionism. MILK PRODUCERS CALL ON ~ L C, C.

P.)—The success of the allied powers in obtain- ing an armistice for the Greeks is far from being decisive, Premier Poincare told the chamber of deputies this af- ternoon in replying to interpeilations on foreign affairs. The Turkish nationalists are no long- er in the state of mind in which the were when they signed the Franco- Turkish agreement, he said, and the re- cent incidents showed that full accord between Framce and Great Britain was more necessary than ever. Poincare paid tribute to Lord Curzon the British foreign secretary, for the ef- fective part he piayed in preventing graver developments; and said his loy- alty -and high-minded views of the s vation weighed heavily in the balan for peace. The Mudania armistice, however, was not a personal success and not a rench success—it was a com- mon success. which Was 8o far from be- ing decisive, i al- a ion uit ter rly in o N.

Poincar¢ said he was very happy to find that Lord Ourzon would remain at the head of the foreign office in the new British British cabinet, and that the lat- ter would be presided over by another friend of_France in Mr. Bonar Law.
